Player ratings

Joe Rothwell was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 23. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Transfer targets

Wrexham tell Oldham Athletic: Joe Worrall is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad

Mathew Hudson reaches 100 appearances

100 games in the shirt. Nobody sets out to build a record like that; it happens to a certain kind of player at a certain kind of club, and this town knows what it has.

Squad

A row about effort at Oldham Athletic

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Mike Trésor was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad

Tempers go at Oldham Athletic

Donervon Daniels was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

“I want to play”: Oliver Rathbone speaks

“I respect the manager and I am not going to sit here and pretend I am happy.” It is the most common sentence in football and it has never once been the end of a story.

Match

Honours even between Oldham Athletic and Barrow AFC

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Diego Andrada

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Nicholas Roberts was not hiding it after 1‑1, and nobody in the Oldham Athletic dressing room was either.

Transfer targets

Oldham Athletic bid $6.0M for Róbert Boženík

The offer went to Stoke City this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Squad

Mathew Hudson keeps Oldham Athletic in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Boardroom

Oldham Athletic go back to the board over Róbert Boženík

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $6.9M — a club that wants Róbert Boženík enough to be asked twice.

Transfer targets

Collins Sichenje is a medical away from Oldham Athletic

The deal with Charlton Athletic is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Transfer targets

No thanks: Thomas O'Connor rejects the move

Oldham Athletic had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Wrexham, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Squad

Manny Monthé falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad

Words exchanged at Oldham Athletic

Diego Andrada and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Transfer targets

Oldham Athletic ask about Ra'ees Bangura-Williams

A loan enquiry to Millwall: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Match

Mike Fondop rescues a point for Oldham Athletic

It needed Mike Fondop to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against Gillingham, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

Transfer targets

Thomas O'Connor due for a Oldham Athletic medical

Everything agreed with Wrexham, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Squad

Mathew Hudson signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Mathew Hudson commits to Oldham Athletic for another 4 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Oldham Athletic

Mike Fondop was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Manny Monthé wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Oldham Athletic know it.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Toby Savin

Oldham Athletic asked and Wigan Athletic said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market

James Williams steps up from the Oldham Athletic academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. James Williams has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market

Oldham Athletic promote Jason Russell from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Jason Russell has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

Oldham Athletic promote Benjamin Murray from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Benjamin Murray has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

One of our own: Adam Spencer joins the Oldham Athletic first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Adam Spencer is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
