All Pressure was on John "The Special One" Lack, Prior to Kick off at Prenton Park as Roughly 17,000. Turned out to watch Oldham Athletic take on Tranmere Rovers who we're at home.
Lack was heavily critised prior to Kick-off by announcing that 5 Squad players have been Transfer Listed, and many thought that would effect the teams game-play,...
The Match got off to a quick start with Oldhams Kiegan Parker tripped in the box but the referee waved play on.. Apart from that the first half was pretty much even stevens with both teams created little chances. Until the 38th Minutes we're Oldham's Lee Wallace Poked home a goal, after a scramble in the box.
Then Suddenly BAM! - In the 43'rd minute, After a long ball down field Tranmere Rovers pulled a goal back from Thomas-Moore.
Second half- was just like the start of the 1st, very slow, with both teams created pittyfull chances, Oldham we're created chance after chance. But None failed to hit the back of the net.. And then, around the 77' minute Oldham Cranked up the pressure coming close Twice, and then they're hard work paid off, after Keigan Parker smashed home a shot from Inside the penalty area.

Leeds United 2 - 5 Sheffield United

Lack gets a winning start

It was a typical Yorkshire Derby- as Leeds hosted Sheffield United in a thrilling English Shield round one tie.
Within a few seconds, Sheffield United striker Shinji OKAZAKI found himself in front of a open goal..Only to fire wide. Leeds United Goalkeeper Casper Ankergren was extremely lucky there!
Then Suddenly Leeds we're on the counter- Jonny Howson running strong against the Sheffield United back four, put a through ball to Sam Vokes who slotted passed the keeper.
As the time ticked on, both teams we're make great chances, Sheffield United player Junior STANISLAS continously sprinting down the wing- threating with some crosses.
Half-Time- Scores level.
A few minutes after the half time- Jason Crowe smashes a 30 yard shot- Against the crossbar.
Sam vokes, scores again- to level the game.
Then, after a big lump up field from the defence, Shinji OKAZAKI latches onto a ball, a pokes it past Casper Ankergren.
Jonathan Lack, is pushing his team on more. He wants more Goals!!
Gary Speed, vicious shot won Sheffield United a corner, it was beautifully wipped in by Speed, and Franco ARIZALA Smashes home.
Franco ARIZALA find himself one- on- one, after been put through by Junior Stanislas, and toe-pokes the ball into the back of the net.
