Micky Adams watched his team end their four match losing streak with an impressive 1-1 draw at Boundary Park. He told the official Seagulls website, "We've been stung by recent criticism and we can't really argue because we find ourselves in the position we find ourselves in, and need to respond to that criticism. I think we did that." "We limited them to very few chances during the whole game and possibly had the best chance of the match. We stuck to our task and everybody filled in their slots when they had to. I was happy with our shape after the sending off and there was some fantastic defending all in all. As a unit we've got to feel proud of ourselves. Oldham are a very good side. They're fourth in the league, they've got some fantastic players with a bright young manager."
"The Oldham fans were a bit critical of us at the end and said we were boring. They've had a penalty, they've had a sending off, they can't beat ten men. I don't know what they're moaning about. I've been disappointed in myself more than anything. Maybe I've let things slip at the football club. But I've had a good look at myself over the last ten or eleven days and I've gone back to basics. Fitness has been a big part of that."
"We'll continue with that program even though we've got games coming thick and fast. The boys probably don't want to hear that, but that's what they're going to get. Getting Adam Virgo booked put him under pressure in the second half. I asked both him and Andrew Whing to be sensible with their defending, but unfortunately a bad bit of defending has cost Adam."
