Oldham Manager Richie Wellens was frustrated following Saturday’s 3-0 defeat at Peterborough United.
Three second half goals won the game for Posh and Wellens couldn’t hide his disappointment at full time.
He said: “I don’t really know where to start. I thought we were outstanding in the first half, passed the ball well and got into some good areas.
“We had great opportunities after time and time again passing through them but again, we have a lack of movement in the box.
“We need a striker desperately, a good striker at this level who can score goals and can pull off shoulders.
