Ryan Kavuma-McQueen runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 63. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
Boardroom14 Aug 2028
Pressure builds in the Oldham Athletic boardroom
The directors have stopped offering the manager public warmth. In football that is usually the stage before the short statement.
Squad14 Aug 2028
A fracture rules Pasquale Rosi out for 56 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Oldham Athletic will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.
Squad14 Aug 2028
Real improvement from Charlie Crew at Oldham Athletic
Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Charlie Crew is 22, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.
Match12 Aug 2028
No end in sight to Oldham Athletic's wait for a win
4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Oldham Athletic has to find a result from somewhere.
Squad14 Aug 2028
Tempers go at Oldham Athletic
Luke Hannant 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.
Squad14 Aug 2028
A late step up for Luke Hannant
At 34 the improving is meant to be over. It is not: 4 points better than the mark taken at the start of the year, which is the sort of thing that happens to players who take the boring parts of the job seriously.

Oldham Athletic beat the market to Artem Garkusha from Bromley
Bromley will keep picking him until June and will get nothing for him after it. Artem Garkusha has pre-agreed a move to Oldham Athletic, and the only people who lose in that arrangement are the ones who let the contract run down.
Market14 Aug 2028
A long bet from Oldham Athletic on Frédéric Philippe
He is 18, and nobody at Oldham Athletic signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.
In brief
- Match Point won or two lost for Oldham Athletic?
- Market Calum Kavanagh leaves for nothing
- Boardroom The Oldham Athletic production line keeps running
