Getting to the point where you expect us to get beat, even more so when the manager confirms injuries mean we can’t even fill a bench. What an earth has happened to that cup money? Why do any of us even bother.

Agree, that with injuries not sure what team we are likely to put out but not confident of getting anything out of today’s game. Just hoping that we can exceed expectations.

To be honest I’m only going because I’m a season ticket holder (won’t have one next season) absolutely no confidence whatsoever that we can get a result of any kind today, going to give it until around the 60 minute mark and if we’re not in the game I’m off home to watch the rugby, I sincerely hope that I’ll be at the game until the end but realistically it ain’t gonna happen

Having just seen an injury update from Bryony Wooley I feel even more depressed about our chances of getting points for today's game and indeed in the future. If you also add the players loaned out that presumably we cannot recall, it's no wonder we cannot fill the bench today.

Anyone got a pair of size 9 boots I can borrow?
Might be a few years since I last played but I don’t think I’d look the worst one out there

We're only going for the pie and mash. My sons bought a house now so it's a good way to spend time with him. I'm sure we could do that on the terraces at orient or Southend , it'd be just as frustrating I'm sure.
We're always threatening to pack it in, this is the nearest to meaning it I've ever been.
I'm expecting a heavy home defeat.

Me too. I'm not at the game today. The 4th consecutive home game I've missed and the longest time I have not seen the daggers since 1998. I'm seeing this as a test as to how much I miss the club. Currently, not a bit.

Same old story. Another injury time goal conceded. How many times has that happened over the years

I thought we played well today but the last ten minutes is definitely our weakest area. How many times do we give away goals in the last few minutes, seems like every game. I'm not gonna moan about the performance but it's now getting worrying innit?
I'd have took the point before kickoff. Oldham weren't all that were they?
Was that Caprice the same one that played for us ?

Thought we played well, referee was shocking. But yet again we throw it away. No win since NYD

A great shame because we deserved to beat them, impressed with our goalkeeper who made a couple of good saves and looked very assured.

Wasn’t looking forward to going today but pleased that I did, thought we deserved a win but in the last 10 minutes some players were out on their feet, but lots of positives to take away from the game, hard work and some decent football, Rendel had perhaps his best game for us and deserved MOM
Some fine stewarding in the seive as well today (sarcasm) why the f#k is a woman who dislikes swearing put in there ? Absolute joke

I wouldn’t worry to much about the steward she has a personal vendetta against me for whatever reason. Last time I wasn’t allowed to swear because the TV camera was right in front of me. Today the rules had changed and swearing wasn’t allowed. No consistency in the rules and no consistency enforcing them either. Numerous people around me were swearing nothing was done. Hopefully she is put in the family stand for future games.


Most annoying thing is I missed the first goal as I had to speak to the police about the incident.

Firstly I think we deserved all the points, secondly we will look back on that game given the results Today and think what might have been. Think we’re done for now, those below have games in hand and are in much better form than us, we lose against this sides coming up and it’s curtains.

Underdog Out.

That was a right killer blow what less than a minute left and okay Oldham took their two goals well the last definetely a slip up from us but the Latics just wern't at the races today and any Oldham fan walking out of that Samuels Stand can thank their lucky stars. Early days I know but our ex Donny keeper looks quite experienced, Rendall did play well but Hill wasn't far behind why take him off? Sneaky sneaky feeling if this unwinnable roll is going to stop no better place than Halifax Tuesday night at last?
