Tranmere 0-1 Oldham |
6 February 2010 | Written by Paul Harper |
 Tranmere failed to build on an impressive point earned at Charlton last weekend after they were beaten 1-0 in a relegation six-pointer against Oldham Athletic at Prenton Park.
Rovers saw one change to the starting line-up with Zoumana Bakayogo missing out through suspension. Aaron Cresswell replaced the French full back while new loan signing Marvin Sordell had to make do with a place on the substitutes' bench. The Latics lined up with former Tranmere forward Jason Price making his debut following his transfer from Millwall.
The game began is a scrappy fashion, with the ball pinballing about in midfield with neither side being able to control it long enough to string any possession together. The first chance fell to the visitors with Dean Furman firing a deflected shot from 20 yards which was well dealt with by Rovers goalkeeper Luke Daniels.
Oldham took the lead on 40 minutes via a corner which was won after Ian Goodison deflected another long range effort from going goalbound. The corner was whipped in and Pawel Abbott rose the highest ahead of the Rovers defence to turn the ball home into the bottom corner of the net.
Moments later, Abbott wasted a great chance to double the Latics' lead as the ball fell to him 10 yards out, but he struggled to adjust his feet and he fired an effort high and not so handsome as the Tranmere defence began to look fragile.
