We had better hope that we are 3 goals up against Scunthorpe on Saturday with 20 mins to go, because we could lose the last 20 mins to the local pub team.

Hi again lads. Must admit we had one of our poorer games under shez today. Of course pitch conditions didn’t help but, they are the same for both sides. Overall I believe you deserved the three points despite bit of poor defending and chances not taking from you guys. I will take a point for us it keeps us ticking, as for you I’m sure you would’ve wanted the 3. Thanks ⚽️
A game we really should've won. A good performance let down by some poor defending. We should've comfortably won the game, but we made it hard work for ourselves against a scrappy hard working Oldham team who although lacked much quality, had plenty of fight and were aided by a dreadful refereeing performance where he seemed to lose the plot towards the end and gave an increasingly bizarre set of decisions with his favorite tactic to give the free-kick to Oldham when a reds player was being held. A very entertaining game with Yems receiving a double yellow card at the end to get sent off, but a frustrating game in the end as we should've won. Nadesan arguably had his best game in a reds shirt and despite his best efforts we couldn't see off yet another team in the bottom half of the table. Disapointing.

Fair play mate. Thought we edged the first half but both teams had spells of ascendancy in the second. Hope I think made a huge difference and for me was the best player on the pitch. Draw fair result for me and not surprising your durability given your recent run
The turning point for me was the ref not giving the big penalty shout as Oldham then went up the other end and scored. I can’t say the ref was wrong though it looked more a block than a clear foul.
Tunnicliffe below his usual high standards, definitely should have done better with stopping the cross from Hope for the second and possibly should have got quicker across for the first too, although it was then a superb shot that gave Morris no chance.
in the predictions thread I said we would beat FGR and draw tonight so am reasonably happy with 4 points and I’m much more confident for 3 on Saturday.
One of the sillier sendings off Yems will suffer but he ain’t gonna change at his age so we just have to live with that.
Also ignore the usual two miserable commenters who love taking shots out of Crawley and enjoy being back in the top half of the table again!

Much more exciting than expected. Couldn't see a goal coming all night and then 4 arrive!! I think Yemsy is great but a real dip stick tonight - what an example to set!!
I thought ref was really GOOD - remembering back a few seasons when tackles were not allowed and no contact at all it was refreshing to see him play on as much as he could. Yes he did make a couple of what we would see as howlers but overall no excuses from me about the ref.
As ever Lino's seemed to be a bit behind the game, be interesting to see their goal and ours again as both looked tight!
Before the goals avalanche there seemed little between two poorish probable mid table type teams except Oldham aren't and we are so they will take the point home happy.

Yawn. Go and annoy another forum.
Yes he needs to find a better way to share his message but we shouldn't ignore fact that we do need to improve towards end of games We were lucky to hold out and Forest Green and we need to improve
I though both us and Oldham performed pretty well and a draw was probably just about the right outcome in the end, was a bit worried when they scored but thankfully Nadesan turned it around with two great goals before they got one soon afterwards. Referee was not up to scratch in my opinion as he was too inconsistent, some occasions he blew just for nudges and other times missed blatant fouls. The conditions were awful too and to be honest I'm more relieved we didn't lose that than disappointed about not winning. Nowhere near as bad as the last time we played them
Do think we need to work on our ability to hold onto leads and soak up pressure though
