He said he thought he played well today, which he did.
He also bemoaned the poor finishing and said that he was looking at strikers, plural.
Given it’s likely Reid will be here next season, he’s not going to slate him.

I go more towards Stone re the blame.

I think the Oldham goal will have an impact for Stone and Sweeney. Not sure who was to blame but I just don’t get this shielding the ball back stuff ... stay safe and put your boot through it

I think that Clough's frustration with Stone is the fact that he is mute when we need someone bellowing like Conrad Logan and he is still not clear on when to come and when not. If you look at the penalty and the goal today, Clough is clear that a better or more confident keeper would have got the ball in their hands

Penalty ?

Are you saying that Logan didn't shout at other players?
Stone is silent most games whereas Logan was largely good at shouting at players to get to the ball when it was coming back to him. Getting to the ball within twenty minutes or catching the ball from corners were a different matter

We have generally always been a bigger club than them and I think they hold the record for the most seasons in the bottom division. Cracking club though and best chippy near ground in the league.
