I thought we were lucky the ref didn't give them a pen in 1st half, seen them given.
southend and doncaster will have nothing to play for which should help,hopefully.Actually pleased Mowatt will be back on tuesday should be really fired up.And we played well when he was on the pitch at pompey

Obika will never be a striker who scores a lot from crosses because he's just so passive in an attacking sense. He never gets in the box to attack the ball, he always wants it into feet which is a much harder pass to play. For such a big bloke he doesn't use it, he could be a real bully at this level if he was a bit nasty.Thomas and Obika are decent lower League strikers. The stress on them comes from the fact that we don’t have any wingers. They should just be focusing on knocking in all the crosses coming in, but since there aren’t any they have to make their own chances by tussling weekly with northern monsters
Thomas is a really crafty poacher. I agree that Obika could be more threatening given his magnificent physique. To do well at this level you need better strikers but it’s not fair to blame them for our problemsObika will never be a striker who scores a lot from crosses because he's just so passive in an attacking sense.

Thomas isn't very good either. We've got some really, really crap strikers.

I thought we lost something when Ruffels had to go off as Ricci and him were linking pretty well, have faith we will limp through others have to play each other to some extent and they can't all win, fingernails job but we'll get there. Thought defence not too bad today Dickie immense, and Obika does add strength in defence when he plays in this area, but he does leave a lot to be desired up front. Henry struggled today and when he does we are not a good.
Before that tackle I actually thought their number 3 was a player that I wouldn’t mind seeing play for us..
We have to be consistently quicker getting the ball from back to front. We looked better defending today when the back 4 weren't having to pass it between themselves and the ball was left with Oldham's back 4 to deal with. Obika for all his issues, gives us something up front that may not on the front of it look good, but what it does for the areas of the pitch we play in, is good enough to make us harder to beat.

I actually thought that Obika got his head to quite a lot, and wasn't bad at holding it up (for a while). The main problem was that no one was anywhere near where the ball went after he headed it. Well none of our players were. Not really surprising if there's just the one up top who ends it further on.
Thought Dickie was superb but disagree with a few on here that Kane had a good game. Plenty of effort yes but got skinned so many times by their winger, he simply took the ball down and cut inside Kane and left him trailing.
