 Rivals match reports JKLatics.com (oldhamathletic.rivals.net) A Game of Two Halves Latics luck continued to desert them today at London Road as Peterborough grabbed a share of the spoils despite Latics going in ahead at half time. First half goals from Murray and Smart were cancelled out by a dodgy opener by the home side and a second half Neale Fenn strike to level it. This was, as the title suggests, a game very much of two halves. The 1st half was all Latics and only a one goal lead did not justify the display. The 2nd half was much different and the blues were lucky not to lose.The London Road pitch wasn't so good. Barry Fry describes it as the worst pitch in the country. Mick Wadsworth showed his tactical awareness by changing Latics system to suit the pitch. The middle of the pitch was like a mud heap, but the two wings were pretty good, with lots of grass. Mick switched from 4-3-3 to a 4-4-2 system, using the wings as much as possible. It would have been pointless playing three central midfielders, as he has been, on a pitch where passing was hard to do. Carlo Corazzin replaced Cristian Colusso in the team. Allan Smart moved on to the right wing in the 4-4-2 formation and David Eyres on the left. This left Corazzin and Reeves to play as the two strikers. Latics were missing David Beharall, Lee Duxbury, Tony Carss, Wayne Gill and Lee Duxbury. New signing Michael Clegg was on the bench and Scott McNiven rightfully retained his place after an impressive display against Tranmere. Argentinean Cristian Colusso dropped to the bench despite scoring in midweek and Paul Rachubka continued in goal. This was the last game of his three month loan spell. FIRST HALF The game started off fast and furious. Carlo Corazzin had the first shot at goal. He shot from 30 yards, but the ball flew over. Good play though from Corazzin and any shot from distance would surely test Tyler with the strong wind. Howard Forinton had Peterborough's first effort at goal, which went just wide. I didn't see a deflection, but a corner was given. The corner came in and Rachubka seemed to have the ball in his hands, before Forinton headed the ball home. It looked to me to be a foul, and Rachubka ran after the referee, but a goal was given. I'd have to watch a replay to confirm. Latics now started to play some really neat stuff. Matty Appleby played a ball down the right side, which David Reeves collected. He laid the ball back to Allan Smart, who's cross nearly reached Carlo Corazzin's head, but fell to Paul Murray who slotted the ball home from 5 yards. An easy finish, but a great move. On 15 minutes Latics went ahead. Paul Murray played a ball in behind the Peterborough defence, and Allan Smart lobbed the ball over Tyler. A superb finish and another superb move. (1-2) Latics were really moving now and right on top. Latics almost made it three on 23 minutes, when David Eyres swung in a corner. Carlo Corazzin was first to the ball, and headed only inches wide. Tyler was stranded. Near the end of the half, David Reeves was fouled 25 yards out. David Eyres stepped up, and hit the ball just past Tyler's left hand post. It looked in to me at first. Allan Smart was down for a few minutes, after taking a knock to the nose, but half-time and Latics got applauded off. Peterborough brought on Danielsson for Richard Forsyth at half-time, and they went onto the attack. Straight from the kick-off it was all Peterborough. Jimmy Bullard was playing particularly well. He had an effort from a Tom Williams corner. They tried an Eyres - Appleby Brighton special, but it flew well over. Bullard again had an effort from distance which went only a yard past the post. Rachubka was worried and made a massive dive at the ball. Bullard again was involved when he fed substitute Francis Green. He ran through one on one with Rachubka but, as he's done so many times, made a superb save. Peterborough's pressure finally brought a goal on 64 minutes, when Neal Fenn scored. A corner was taken quickly and headed out. It was pumped back into the box. The Latics players looked for offside, but Corazzin was playing Fenn on, and he couldn't miss from 8 yards. Paul Rickers was just about to come on before the goal, but was told to sit back down. Latics now started to play a bit more. Peterborough were still looking dangerous but Latics looked like they could grab a goal. Latics did though bring on Cristain Colusso and Michael Clegg for Allan Smart and Carlo Corazzin on 76 minutes. On 79 minutes, Julien Baudet had a superb chance to win the game. A corner was headed out and Chris Armstrong put a second cross in. It fell to Baudet 8 yards out, but he somehow hit it over the bar. This was a chance he should have buried. Chris Armstrong did a 40 yard run, and shot from 30 yards. The ball flew only inches over the bar. What a player Armstrong is. The final action of the game came with a few minutes left. Peterborough got a free-kick 25 yards out, and the impressive Bullard smacked the bar. A let-off. Matty Appleby was booked late on for mouthing off. Paul Murray had earlier been booked for a challenge, which was never a yellow card. So in the end Latics only got a draw. At the end of the first half, I felt like we could win 4 or 5-1, but by the end of the second I was happy to come away undefeated. We could easily have been beaten. The wind played a major factor on this game. Whoever played downwind had a major advantage and scoring into the wind was going to be an achievement or even a fluke. Like Peterborough's first goal was. It was quite ironic that Allan Smart scored his first league goal for the club and he was playing in midfield. He played quite well, getting an assist for the first goal with a superb cross and a superb finish for the second. David Reeves seems to be the man everyone likes to hate. In fact many of the players playing yesterday seem to be hated. I found it very funny before the game that Allan Smart, David Reeves, Dean Holden, Paul Rickers and Scott McNiven all got booed when the teams were being read out. We're 7th in the league and 5 out of the 16 on duty we're booed. Fickle. Never. It's seems to me Latics fans need a scapegoat, and now Mark Allott's gone David Reeves is the man. Seems very childish to me. I though Reeves actually had a good first half. His best since Blackpool. 2nd half he was poor, but then again it's one hell of a hard job trying to hold the ball up in that wind. Chris Armstrong was the best man once again. He was Latics best attacking threat in the 2nd half. He, along with Scott McNiven, Julien Baudet and Stuart Balmer all played pretty well. Scott McNiven made David Farrell come inside onto his weaker right-foot so many times. Very good defending and McNiven got a lot of undue stick. I had no complaints from his performance. When Clegg came on and gave him some support he was much better. Allan Smart, despite playing well on the wing, didn't give McNiven enough options ahead of him. This wasn't an ideal result with Brentford and Huddersfield winning, (jammy sods, both last minute winners) but Latics lie only four points behind Stoke and they still need to visit Boundary Park. Tuesday's game is a massive one. Hopefully Paul Rachubka will have been signed up, but if not Gary Kelly will play. Encouragingly he was out at half time, running about and kicking, so looks fit again. If Chubbs isn't signed up, thanks Chubbs. A win is pretty much a must over Brentford.Boundary Bullet-zine/Rivals message board After some discussion Jack Scott and I have agreed to some mutually beneficial co-operation.

This was a truly dull match and will have done very little to inspire quite a few of the sparse attendance to come back for the crucial relegation battle with Notts County. Only rumours and gossip around the terraces brightened the afternoon for many and whether or not we have seen Wayne Turner’s last match as Head Posh Whistler remains to be seen, an ever dwindling amount of Posh fans can barely be bothered to express any concern. Once again Leon McKenzie was out of the game. His Mum had put "bad ankle" on the letter to Mr Fry this week but we all know it will only be a matter of days before the truancy officer comes a-calling. Neale Fenn was restored to the starting line up to partner Howard Forinton. Clearly pace wasn’t going to feature highly in Posh’s forward play and it didn’t. Daniel French made a rare start and Matthew Gill was rushed back from injury as Marc Joseph moved into his natural centre back berth to replace the injured Simon Rea. Someone suggested to me that this line up would provide more balance than in previous weeks but it is rather unfortunate to report that French looked somewhat out of his depth. Gill, with barely a fortnight’s worth of match fitness, spent most of the game treading water and playing on memory. The game started with all the life of Prince Charlie’s Aunt. Only Andy Edwards ducking out of a header to provide space for Carlo Corazzin - who was destined to maintain his Posh duck - to shoot over enlivened the first ten minutes until Forinton shot wide from a Fenn lay off. From the resulting corner, Paul Rachubka grasped the ball, fumbled it and Forinton leapt in to head it into the net to open the scoring. Posh’s lead was extremely short lived as Allan Smart broke free of both Tom Williams and David Farrell on the right. He crossed low and nobody picked up the well-timed run of Paul Murray who tapped the ball past Mark Tyler with ease. So much for all this defensive work, then. On 15 minutes, matters became much worse for the home team. Murray turned in midfield and dropped a well-judged lob behind Joseph for Smart to race onto from the right wing. He struck the ball on the volley and it looped over the advancing Tyler and bounced into the goal. An air of resignation enveloped the ground. We’ve seen it all before and no doubt some of us will see it all again but this awful ball watching habit is now endangering our Second Division status. Fenn presented Rachubka with an easy catch to enable the young keeper to regain his confidence and on 17 minutes, Gill was booked for a rash challenge on the well travelled David Reeves after being sold a hospital pass by the jittery Edwards. The game meandered on with barely a highlight and I started to wish I had bought my Innovations catalogue with me. Fenn gave Rachubka more handling practice, David Eyres curled free kick just wide and Fenn was too slow to reach a Farrell cross. Oldham were controlling the game and seemed happy with their lead. Posh, on the other hand, seemed bereft of confidence. Long balls were being hit towards Fenn and Forinton with the inevitable consequence of the Oldham defenders heading the ball back and neither Posh winger seemed to have the capability or inclination, depending on which one you chose, to get to grips with the game. On 37 minutes, Forinton did his best to brighten proceedings when he headed a Farrell cross over under pressure from Julian Baudet. The big Oldham defender then directed a header wide at the other end of the pitch from a corner and as the game entered stoppage time, Fenn blasted wide from distance. The Half Time whistle was met with a ripple of boos from those who still give a monkeys and I made way to the London Road Enclosure Bogs. Guess what? They are still out of order! Does anything ever get done at London Road or is that a stupid question? The gossip at half time was of far greater interest than the football but that isn’t saying much really. It seems that Monday will be quite an eventful day at London Road but it is well known that Chinese Whispers can become all the more exaggerated when circulated among the bored and mischievous. Richard Forsyth pulled out at half time and was replaced by Helgi Danielsson who one would hope would spend his appearance money on trip to the barbers. He has at last shaved off that ridiculous chinstrap beard though. Posh looked much the livelier team but a lack of pace, the ability to jump and little understanding between Fenn and Forinton saw Posh’s ponderous approach play crash against the rocks of the Oldham defence. Jimmy Bullard chipped over from a French free kick and on 55 minutes Francis Green replaced the 22-year-old youngster (just how old do you have to be before you cease to be a youngster?). Some of the crowd voiced their derision but it was hard to see what they were getting worked up about. Forinton laid the ball of for Danielsson who placed a ball to his left for Bullard to shoot narrowly wide. Fenn started to show signs of his early season form and he placed a fine pass to the left wing for Green to turn onto and run towards the heart of the penalty area. Green reached a dead end thanks to not looking up and prodded the ball back for Bullard. The midfielder hit a rising shot that Rachubka palmed over and on 64 minutes, a Bullard corner was played short to Williams on the left wing. The full back hit a low hard shot (or was it a pass?) which Fenn intercepted, controlled and poked past the diving Rachubka into the Oldham net. Some of us cheered, others smiled and a few mumbled "Oh look. A goal." Posh pushed for a winner and it fell to Forinton to waste Posh’s best chance. Fenn put him clean through on the right of the penalty area but he snatched at his shot and Rachubka claimed the ball with ease. Oldham got bored with defending Posh’s powder puff threat and Smart centred low and hard for Baudet to fire over under pressure from Joseph. Bullard provided a rare moment of genuine excitement with an 80th minute free kick which made the cross bar wobble in the key of F and with the game about to enter added time, Green contrived top clear another fine Fenn pass on behalf of the Oldham defence. The added time featured more highlights than many were expecting and were arguably out of character with the stupifyingly dull 90 minutes which preceded them. Matty Appleby was booked for dissent after fouling Williams and the ball was bought forward ten fairy steps by Mr Warren. Bullard arched his kick over the wall but Rachubka once again caught with nonchalance. Michael Clegg crossed low and hard after being granted the freedom of the right wing from a foul throw but Reeves smashed his shot wide. With the last acts of the game, the hard working but ill-composed Forinton was bundled wide with the ball after a fine Farrell cross and Danielsson nod down. The fat striker made a little too much of his vain appeals for a penalty and probably spent all of his flagging energy store because he could only tamely head Williams right wing corner wide at the far post. The final whistle was met with silence. I cannot recall the last time this has happened at London Road and although this sounds daft, it was a loud and clear indication of many people’s apathy about Posh and their self-imposed relegation battle. A further sign of the Posh public’s waning interest was illustrated by the almost non-existent queue for the Bournemouth tickets. People just couldn’t wait to get home. Enthusiasm has now all but left the Posh building. Whether Monday’s news – assuming it is not scurrilous rumour-mongering by the increasingly disaffected – will awaken the fans’ ardour is an intriguing question but I can hardly be arsed to contemplate it myself.

Latics' Chief Executive Alan Hardy revealed exclusively to the Official Website on Sunday that a transfer fee has been agreed with Manchester United to bring Paul Rachubka to Boundary Park on a permanent deal. Mr Hardy said, "I am pleased to confirm that following discussions with Paul Kenyon, the Chief Executive at Old Trafford, that both clubs have agreed on the amount of transfer fee involved. However having spoken with the player and his agent over the past 4 days we are some way off agreeing personal terms with the player. In view of the deadline for permanent signings being 12 noon on Monday for the player to be eligible for Tuesday nights game, it looks like that deadline will be missed. We are hopeful of completing the signing in the next few days". Any further moved regarding Rachubka's move to the Latics will be available here, first on the official website. Match report 
Latics travel down the A1 to a sunny but bitingly cold London Road ground. The ‘pitch’ looks more brown than green as the Posh kick off. Posh’s starting formation is of a standard 4 – 4- 2 configuration whereas the Latics are looking to push forward with Corazzin, Reeves and recently signed Scotman Allan Smart. Both sides make a lively start with Corazzin firing just over the bar from a long Rachubka clearance just a few minutes in. This is countered minutes later with the lively David Farrell making a charge on the left hand side. However a poor shot to goal let's him down. Then  a free kick from Posh number 4 Marc Joseph is met by the advancing Howard Forinton who makes a shot. This is deflected and creeps just wide of the woodwork. The resulting corner is quickly taken and is met by Forinton who this time makes no mistake and shoots past Rachubka for 1 – 0. Posh possession does not continue for long as a period of neat play on the right hand side and good through ball leaves Paul Murray with a clear chance on goal. Murray makes no mistake and hammers the ball home past the helpless ‘keeper Tyler to make it 1 – 1 on 11 minutes. Oldham pressure continues and following some good play in midfield Paul Murray combines well with Allan Smart who finds some space to execute a well placed lob which finds the back of the net. 2-1 and 15 minutes gone. The army of Latics fans who have made the trip South increase in volume as David Reeves is fouled by Posh left back Tom Williams just outside the area. It is quickly taken by the Latics forward although is easily gathered by the Posh ‘keeper. 22 minutes in and Athletic continue to push forward, winning a corner which is taken by Stuart Balmer on the right hand side. It swings in for the advancing Corazzin although just clears the Peterborough right hand post. A good spell for Posh on 25 minutes and some impressive play on the left hand side is met by big forward Neale Fenn on the edge of the box. He manages to get a shot on goal but it is well saved by Rachubka who gets well down to his right. Posh pressure does not continue for long as some good work by Eyes linking up well with David Reeves on the right hand side lifts the Latics team and they continue to push forward with Corrazin chasing every ball. Chris Armstrong and Posh’s Dan French dual on the left hand side on 35 minutes. The impressive Armstrong wins out and defends well for Latics to continue their quest for the points. Alan Smart, who has shown some impressive touches, goes down a few minutes later after a rash challenge by Posh’s Tom Williams just inside the Peterborough half. He stays down for a while although completes the first half to witness more Latics pressure and the blues go for half time with their heads up. HALF TIME Peterborough 1 Latics 2 News is that Danielsson starts the second half for Forsyth as Peterborough emerge with renewed confidence especially with the zippy Farrell on the right hand side. Posh pressure continues with a Tom Williams inswinger which is met by Jimmy Bullard on the outside of the area. However he fires high and wide and the Latics regain possession. Some good play in the midfield by Matty Appleby moves the play towards the Posh goal although a period of good and sustained pressure- notably from the Frenchman Julien Baudet and ever-present Appleby- the move ends with a Posh goal kick. Jimmy Bullard gets frustrated with Appleby in the middle of the field and brings him down to earth with a strong challenge. However after this period of sustained pressure Posh fight back with a low and hard piledriver which just clears Rachubka’s right hand post. That man Bullard again with a stinging strike. Posh pressure continues with quick number 14 Green linking well with Bullard to fire a shot toward goal, only for super ‘keeper Rachubka to make a fantastic save. Farrell continues on the left hand side and start to frustrate the Latics. David Reeves shows energy in midfield as he chases play, although just loses out to the oncoming posh forward-  who pushes onward to shoot at the Latics goal. This is deflected for the corner- which is quickly taken. It bobbles about in the box before Neale Fenn shoots and scores to give the Latics keeper no chance and bring the game level. It’s all on the left hand side as Bullard and Williams continue a strong partnership. They deliver some good crosses, which hover dangerously in the goalmouth but are never converted much to the Latics relief. Reeves and Corazzin combine on the right hand side on 77 minutes. This results in a Latics corner, an inswinger which unfortunately fails to trouble the Posh keeper. On 79 minutes Baudet fires just over the bar from a good Chris Armstrong cross and the Latics seem to have found some form and movement once more. Clegg and Colusso are brought on for Corazzin and the injured Smart and the Latics continue on. However Peterborough dominance continues as with ten minutes of normal time left, that tricky number 16 Bullard fires a free kick over the Latics wall and against the woodwork as Oldham fans breathe a sigh of relief. Skillfull Armstrong hits back though and constructs some good movement down the left hand side, all to no avail however as the final whistle blows and in truth, the Latics have been fortunate to stay level. After a promising Latics first half, Posh retained much of the possession after the break. They know how to deal with an unpredictable and muddy pitch and how to make the most of ever-advancing danger man Bullard. Chris Armstrong put an impressive performance together on the left in difficult conditions. Allan Smart and Matty Appleby played some good football. Latics earned a point away from home but to continue with their quest for promotion, they know next time that they must make it three.

 TEAMtalk (www.teamtalk.co.uk) Wadsworth remains positive 
Mick Wadsworth remained upbeat despite The Latics dropping two points at lowly Peterborough United, to leave them without a win in three matches. The boss was unhappy at the two goals Paul Rachubka let in, but praised the goalkeeper for a string of fine saves that helped The Latics to their single point. "I thought their first goal was a foul on the keeper, for sure," said Wadsworth. "He had the ball in his hands, but the referee said it was a goal and you have to put up with that sort of thing. "The second goal was a very poor one to concede, but Paul made a marvellous save in the first half and his handling was very good in the second half." Paul Murray and Allan Smart scored within four minutes of each other after Wadsworth's side had gone a goal down, setting each other up to give The Latics a 2-1 lead at the break. But Wadsworth admitted: "I have to say I'm not happy with some of the players. "I felt we should have done a lot better to get the ball up the pitch in the second half, but it was a terrible pitch to play on and very difficult to play passing football." Wadsworth's troops are now four points adrift of the last play-off place and they face a tough game against Brentford on Tuesday. "We've got to beat them," he added. "It's a very important match for us."

Fry praises returning Gill 
Barry Fry heaped praise on Matthew Gill for a superb performance in his first game in almost a year as Posh drew 2-2 at home against Oldham. The 21-year-old completed the full 90 minutes in his first appearance for the club since March 6, and Fry admitted the midfielder played extremely well. "I said to Gilly before the game that even if he scored two own goals, he wouldn't get any moans from me because I'm so glad to have him back," said Fry. "I was absolutely thrilled to see him. There were times when he thought his career might be over, but he's come through it superbly." And Fry defended his decision to substitute Daniel French - making his first start since last April - after a chorus of boos greeted his decision. "Daniel didn't really look too comfortable in the first half, but I thought when I switched things around and brought on a third forward, we looked a much better side. "We scored the equaliser shortly after that and I thought we could have had a winner when Neale Fenn put Howard Forinton through, but the goalkeeper saved it with his legs and then Jimmy Bullard hit the underside of the crossbar. "We matched them and could have beaten them." Posh are now without a win in nine games and have drawn their last three matches at London Road. But the boss added: "I think if ever there was a side that deserved a bit of luck and deserved a win, it's us. "We're very nervous and lacking in confidence but I was pleased with the way the lads reacted in the second half. "I don't care about the performances any more - all I care about is the results."

 Sporting Life Saturday review (www.sportinglife.com) CURETON FIRES ROYALS CLEAR

Jamie Cureton came up with the goal that took Reading four points clear at the top of Nationwide League Division Two. Cureton's 52nd-minute winner settled a tight game at home to promotion-chasing Stoke, for whom Siarhei Shtaniuk was sent off for a second yellow card just after the hour.

Peter Taylor's second-placed Brighton were surprisingly held to a goalless draw at home to struggling Wrexham.

But Brentford moved up to third thanks to a 90th-minute winner from Ben Burgess against luckless Notts County, who had gone in front via Darren Caskey just before the hour but then let the Bees back into it with a penalty converted by Paul Evans.

A 0-0 draw for Bristol City at mid-table Colchester kept the Robins riding high in fourth. But there was even better news for Huddersfield, who were another team indebted to a 90th-minute winner in their early kick-off against Blackpool at Bloomfield Road. Leon Knight was the Terriers' hero with both goals in the 2-1 win. He struck first in the 70th minute, after Ian Marshall had put the hosts in front early in the second half.

Cardiff's promotion hopes are still on a high following a 2-0 win at home to rock-bottom Cambridge. Graham Kavanagh, in the 36th minute and then with a penalty just after the hour, was responsible for both goals.

Oldham also stayed on course to challenge for a play-off spot with a 2-2 draw at Peterborough. Howard Forinton put Posh in front in the ninth minute only for Paul Murray to almost instantly level and Allan Smart then put the visitors in front. But Neale Fenn kept the home crowd happy with a point-earner in the 65th minute.

QPR dropped a little further off the pace after a 1-0 defeat at Port Vale where Mark Bridge-Wilkinson got the winner in the 18th minute.

Just above the relegation zone, Bury leapfrogged Bournemouth with a 2-1 win at Gigg Lane where the hosts had to come from behind after Derek Holmes scored for the Cherries in the 14th minute. George Clegg levelled on the stroke of half-time, and Ian Lawson got the winner just after the hour.

Chesterfield and strugglers Northampton earned a point each in a 2-2 draw at Saltergate. The Spireites had to equalise twice, through Marcus Ebdon (13) and Jamie Burt (53), after first Richard Hope (three) and then Jamie Forrester (22) scored for the visitors.

Wigan and Wycombe earned a mid-table point each in a 0-0 draw in the north-west.
