Squad30 Sep 2030

The knee: Jacob Evans out for 28 days

28 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Oldham Athletic lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Squad30 Sep 2030

14 days out for Ryan Woods after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Oldham Athletic will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Squad30 Sep 2030

A falling-out at Oldham Athletic

Junior Kamwa and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Match28 Sep 2030

A bad afternoon for Oldham Athletic against Wigan Athletic

0‑1 to Wigan Athletic, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout30 Sep 2030

No hiding place for George Hardy

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to George Hardy, and the manager let it.

Squad30 Sep 2030

Alfie Hughes 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.

Player ratings30 Sep 2030

Jack Diamond was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 17. 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.

The dugout30 Sep 2030

Interim Coach: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 0‑1, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

The dugout30 Sep 2030

Thiago Domínguez asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad23 Sep 2030

A knee injury of the worst kind for Jacob Evans

35 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Oldham Athletic lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

The terraces23 Sep 2030

Supporters organise against the Oldham Athletic board

A bad atmosphere can be waited out. A group of people meeting afterwards to decide what to do about it cannot, and everybody in the building knows which stage this is.

Squad23 Sep 2030

A fracture rules Ryan Woods out for 21 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.

Match18 Sep 2030

The cup run ends for Oldham Athletic

0‑3 against Queens Park Rangers, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

Squad23 Sep 2030

George Hardy stands alone

8 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

The terraces23 Sep 2030

A cup embarrassment at Queens Park Rangers follows Oldham Athletic home

0-3. Going out of a cup is one afternoon; going out like that is a week of phone-ins, and the manager will hear every one of them.

Squad23 Sep 2030

Conor Coady in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Oldham Athletic this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match21 Sep 2030

At last: Oldham Athletic win one

6 matches without a win, and then this, against Milton Keynes Dons. Relief is a strange noise in a football ground and it was the only noise at the end.

The dugout23 Sep 2030

No hiding place for Franco Malagueño

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Franco Malagueño, and the manager let it.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad16 Sep 2030

Jacob Evans damages knee ligaments — 42 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 42 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Boardroom16 Sep 2030

The interim tag comes off Interim Coach

Oldham Athletic interviewed the field and appointed the corridor: Interim Coach keeps the job he had been doing in all but title. Sometimes the safest pair of hands is the one already holding the wheel.

Squad16 Sep 2030

A fracture rules Ryan Woods out for 28 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.

Market16 Sep 2030

Fərid Səfərli puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Oldham Athletic, and it is not being withdrawn.

Match14 Sep 2030

No end in sight to Oldham Athletic's wait for a win

5 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.

The dugout16 Sep 2030

Mykhailo Oliinyk: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Oldham Athletic have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad16 Sep 2030

A falling-out at Oldham Athletic

Conor Coady and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad16 Sep 2030

Words at Oldham Athletic training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Thiago Domínguez is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Transfer targets16 Sep 2030

Door shut on Gabriel Ortelli

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

Squad20 May 2030

Words exchanged at Oldham Athletic

Franco Malagueño 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.

Squad20 May 2030

Thiago Domínguez 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.

The dugout20 May 2030

The manager has not finished forgetting Courtney Baker-Richardson's mistake

Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.

The dugout20 May 2030

Kane Drummond asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

The dugout20 May 2030

Thiago Domínguez has been promised minutes

A conversation in the manager’s office, and a commitment that came out of it. Promises like that are cheap to make and expensive to break, and Thiago Domínguez has written the date down.

Market20 May 2030

Alfie Hughes linked with a move away

The name of Alfie Hughes keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Oldham Athletic say nothing, which says plenty.

53 days out for Conor Coady after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Oldham Athletic will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Market20 Aug 2029

Terms done: Jack Moylan is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Amiens SC waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Oldham Athletic is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Match14 Aug 2029

Chastening afternoon for Oldham Athletic

A 0‑4 beating by Peterborough United was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Market20 Aug 2029

Jack Diamond hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Oldham Athletic can pretend not to have heard.

The dugout20 Aug 2029

Ryan Woods: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Oldham Athletic have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Transfer targets20 Aug 2029

Oldham Athletic rebuffed over Jack Currie

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Oxford United have kept their man, and Oldham Athletic go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Boardroom20 Aug 2029

7 academy players handed senior numbers at Oldham Athletic

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Squad20 Aug 2029

Ryan Woods makes it 500

500 times in these colours, in all weathers and under four or five different managers. That kind of service is quietly disappearing from the game.

In brief
