That's a disappointing end, I thought we had got out of that habit, when you take McCormack out of that midfield, there's not a tackle left between them.

Why take McCormack off?
KC said weeks ago the plan for him was very slowly progressing through 45, 60, 75 minutes building to full 90s.

Was booked, having a niggly afternoon and big O thought he had an 'off' afternoon. Plus bringing on Williams ensured a point.
According to the official site the 2 bookings were Anderson and Wharton.

Not only that but Williams came on for Anderson in the 58th minute...Harriman came on for McCormack on 80 minutes.

I think someone recently asked how many times Curle had made substitutions which changed a game.
Today was one of those times. Absolute lunacy to take off McCormack and 100% to blame for us throwing away a very easy three points which we were cantering towards. That’s why you cannot get excited after a few wins. The guy is too negative and it cost us today.

You can definitely argue the effectiveness of his substitutions but McCormack cant play 90 which is why we have him, and with McWilliams, Pollock and Watson out we're very limited with what we can so substitution wise.

You don’t have to make substitutions!! He’d managed 80 minutes, I’m sure he could have played another 10... That said, you don’t expect to not win from 2-0 up with ten minutes to go....so it may have seemed a ‘safe’ substitution at the time.....

Yes, frustrated to have dropped another two points, but really unfortunate to concede the fluke equaliser. It many ways it was another fitful performance, the highlight being Williams sublime finish.

The team played a brilliant the coach and manager have a great array of players to choose from, as talent is ripe in the squad this season. This match was a 11 a-side game because one of that how cecil says ceil players could not make it, so the poor goalkeepers only had 2 defenders. For all but three of Oldams’ players, this was their debut. Matthew and Charlie need new names both scored one goal each and were not captains for the game. Nathan who didnt play was the only player to score no goals – ( if you read this your an idiot) Oldham scored two, one just at the start of his second spell in the game. Lewis no name supplied also got a fabulous goal. Olham put up a good fight in the second half, but their display was not good enough to beat the ladies of St Mary
At the end of the match gave the winning team a huge cheer and S tMary roared back at them like an northerness The team already hopes that they will win the league. They leftfieldl with their heads held high!Oldahm protest to referee who danced away after Burnley a team not here today were awarded a first-half penalty
Oldhams injury-time goal gave Dave Saprroew a thrilling draw over dawn sandwiche in controversial circumstances to give the northerness club's hopes of avoiding League relegation a huge lift.

Quite right GPC , quite right; also might have been safer to sub McM whilst he was still 'fit' and preserve for another day. Personally I think we need him more than the lost two points today.

Easy fluster More or less agree with this. We had one very good passage of play in the second half with a lovely build up from right defence to left, through midfield, back across to right wing and a reasonable cross into the box. As the cross came in I said if this goes in it'll be goal of the season - unfortunately though... Otherwise, I thought we huffed and puffed but are just toothless currently.While I don't disagree with this, the reality is that the stadium is the fundamental reason why the atmosphere is almost always flat at Sixfields. It's simple acoustics. Even at it's best, when the play is exciting or during controversial incidents, the atmosphere is just OK. What we never experience is that numbing volume of noise that people lose themselves in and become part of. And sadly it is that, more than the football, that first time supporters return for and eventually become lifelong fans.

An intervention is required methinks.

How we didn't lead by more than just one goal at half time is beyond me. There were long periods of play were we just knocked the ball between our players without Oldham getting a look in, let alone a touch. I didn't recognise it as The Mighty Cobblers (not just because it was only my second game of the season), we were in so much control. Nothing was getting past the back three. Paul Anderson was end to end, giving options along with Alan McCormack.
It was the first time I have seen McCormack, but there is a player who can actually play. Winning the ball, turning to lose his marker and giving it again, always there creating opportunities, always giving an option. We were a completely different team once he went off. Mind you, by then we should have been up to five like last time we played there.
As for it being cold, you soft southern nancies, it might have only been 7 degrees. but it didn't feel too bad up in that stand, certainly better than at the other end of the ground where we used to be. Mind you, I did take my big coat.

It will be interesting to see whether McCormack plays in the cup next week or if KC saves him for the Crewe game. It would also be good to know the extent of Pollock’s unspecified foot injury - I just hope it’s not a metatarsal.

I’m still unknotting my intestines. Dragged myself out of bed for the game and it was all going so well? That’s down to confidence that is. The first goal went in and you could here the shorts filling up from over here. The more this happens the more this is going to become an issue. Smithy summed it up, they need to work on their game management. Repeatedly get the magic sponge on, give away niggily little infringements, Morris dance round the corner flag etc. All that stuff that drives us insane when the shoe is on the other foot. Our strategy yesterday was to back peddle and pray. Massively frustrating but we are still getting points on the board away from home. That’s what I keep telling myself anyway.

I do not think the ability of the defenders and midfielders is the issue I believe it is the mindset from the manager. We have ALL season sat back when in the lead, inviting the opposition on. Surely a higher defensive line and contest the play nearer the halfway line NOT the edge of the penalty box!
