    Not many chances created.

    3 shots with 1 on target. Only 5 touches in Oldham's box. And had 9 crosses and just the 1 corner. 228 passes attempted with 72% success rate.

    Possession 58%.

    Maybe the game is so bad that the 4th official or whoever sets the extra time is having sympathy with the supporters.

    I believe we should have the old style Rugby clock when the ball is not in play the clock would stop so they could waste all the time they wanted but we would still get something approaching 90 minutes football at every match

    with Crawley winning we are now down to 22nd in the league

    Luke Thomas on for Ruel Sotiriou

    Luke Thomas has come on for Sotiriou who took a knock in the 1st half. Probably to do with the lunging tackle he got wrong.

    Yeh, pause the clock each time the ball goes out of play. I like that. Fans pay to watch 90 minutes of football. Not 50 minutes and 40 minutes watching the ball out of play.

    I tried ringing the league up a couple of years ago they were not interested

    this game sounds like watching paint dry, nothing happening

    54th minute Rovers corner, shot by Lopata blocked

    Promise had his shirt pulled but ref didn't give it. Conteh leaning on the back of his man and ref gave a free kick. Same thing kept happening on Promise in the 1st half but ref didn't give anything. Lack of consistency here from the ref.

    Southam-Hales tries his luck from an angle with the outside of his right foot. Keeper tips it wide. Was going wide anyway.

    Still think we are lacking creativity in the middle of the park

    60th minute Kilgour heads one of the line

    Everything seems to be going through our fullbacks which most haven't been good enough.

    Oldham keeper receiving treatment. Basically nothing wrong with him but just delaying the game so the players can have a meeting with the manager. Happens every game now.

    Commentator also saying the keeper just taking the sting out of the game as Rovers have stepped up a gear in last 10 minutes.

    Hutchinson header clipped the post. Great cross by Sparkes.
