Karl Robinson still waiting for first win as Oxford held in Oldham stalemate

Karl Robinson is still looking for his first win since taking over at Oxford United four games ago as the U's were held to a goalless draw by Oldham.There were few scoring chances in a nervy encounter at the Kassam Stadium.Oxford midfielder James Henry charged down a defensive clearance but was then wasteful in front of goal.The home side had a let-off when Todd Kane appeared to push Wilfried Moimbe in the back as the Oldham player ran into the box, but the referee let it go.And only a clearance off the line by defender Kane denied Jack Byrne when he fired in a shot in first-half stoppage-time as the Latics ended the first half strongly.Oxford had an effort blocked on the line in the second half when Rob Dickie's header was stopped before a mad scramble ended with Wes Thomas hooking a shot over.The first save for either goalkeeper came five minutes from time when Latics' Johny Placide held a drive from Ryan Ledson.
