Latics led three times in the game but were pegged back on each occasion, meaning the tie was decided on a shoot-out that Latics won 4-2. The Latics boss added: "I didn't think that we did anything really that would be towards how we want to be as an Oldham team. "I know what a big job we've got on but we keep trying to move forward and we go again on Monday. We've got a lot of work to do and we go again with that on Monday." I'm not trying to deflect away from it, I've got a big job on here.
