    Grigg needs a goal tonight to light this fire he's supposed to have. I'd keep him in for the whole game.

    Here's been decent but he needs to stay out wide for me, seems to lose his way a bit when he comes inside

    Not watching it as I had a work meeting which has only just finished? From anyone other than Mag Dog (think I spelled that right?), how's it been?

    Me too. Give him a full game to build his confidence a little, because I think it's a mental thing with Grigg. If only he can get on a run...

    Slow start but grown into the game - we do look to be getting more bodies into the box but we look vulnerable to the counter attack. Grigg looking decent as well - just needs a goal now as he's been linking up well and bringing others into it.

    Definately not as bad as Mad Dog thinks (We should have lost the game and folded by now).

    I think it's been canny apart from their goal. Just need a bit more tempo. We are crossing from better areas and getting bodies in the box. Step it up 10-15% and we should be fine. Much more play on the deck as well.

    Might just lumber in to the box a few times , whether he manages to score is something else ! Oldham will not roll over they will be wanting to get one over us we need to be careful - we must not lose !

    We need more movement from our front men or maybe from the midfield, but Grigg and Maguire have had a lot of game time this season and done very little so far, how long can we wait.

    Think Grigg has done ok - seems to be trying to pull the defenders out of position and has put a couple of decent balls in himself.

    Think Johnson will be thinking about getting some pace into that midfield 3. Without that we are vulnerable to the counter after committing too many forward but they are then unable to get back into position due to lack of pace.

    Wish I knew Clocky, he's definitely got me scratching my head.

    Agree about Grigg. He suddenly looks interested and as you say, has put a couple of good crosses in. Hopefully he gets a goal to boost his confidence for Sat.
