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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

“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.
Match12 Sep 2026
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 dugout14 Sep 2026
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 dugout14 Sep 2026
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.
