The knee: Kieron Morris out for 67 days
67 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.
Squad23 Aug 2027
Sam Hutchinson breaks a bone — 75 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 75 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.
Match21 Aug 2027
The run is over for Oldham Athletic
12 matches without defeat, and then Colchester United. Nobody at the ground pretended it would go on forever; nobody expected it to stop here either.
Transfer targets23 Aug 2027
No thanks: Harry Gray rejects the move
Oldham Athletic had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Leeds United, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

A falling-out at Oldham Athletic
Tomoki Iwata and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Boardroom23 Aug 2027
Graduation day at Oldham Athletic
5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.
Match21 Aug 2027
The run at home goes on for Oldham Athletic
9 matches unbeaten here. Every visiting manager is asked about it in the week before, which is precisely why it keeps going.
Transfer targets23 Aug 2027
Oldham Athletic rebuffed over Rabby Nzingoula
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. West Bromwich Albion have kept their man, and Oldham Athletic go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

One of our own: Nicholas Roberts joins the Oldham Athletic first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Nicholas Roberts is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
