Squad12 Mar 2029

The knee: Joseph Wright out for 21 days

21 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.

Player ratings12 Mar 2029

Ryan Kavuma-McQueen beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 30. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad12 Mar 2029

Ryan Kavuma-McQueen is the real thing at 20

A season average of 7.23 at an age when most of his year group are still in the youth team. Oldham Athletic know what they have, and so, by now, does everybody else.

Match10 Mar 2029

4 matches without a win for Oldham Athletic

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Oldham Athletic are no longer polite ones.

Squad12 Mar 2029

Tobias Asenzo 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.

Squad12 Mar 2029

A row about effort at Oldham Athletic

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

Match10 Mar 2029

Harrogate Town take the points off Oldham Athletic

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

The dugout12 Mar 2029

Simon Jones faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Simon Jones after 0‑1, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

The knee: Joseph Wright out for 29 days

29 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.

Boardroom5 Mar 2029

Oldham Athletic put Simon Jones on notice

The board have said in public what they had been saying in private. Results between now and the next meeting decide it, and everybody in the building knows the arithmetic.

Match3 Mar 2029

Nowhere to hide for Oldham Athletic

0‑3 against Fleetwood Town, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Squad5 Mar 2029

Jethro Medine stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Jethro Medine and Oldham Athletic agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad5 Mar 2029

A falling-out at Oldham Athletic

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

Squad5 Mar 2029

A row about effort at Oldham Athletic

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

The dugout5 Mar 2029

The manager makes an example of Harry Griffiths

“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.

Boardroom5 Mar 2029

Doors closed at Oldham Athletic

The music was off and the showers ran late. What was said in that dressing room stays there, but Saturday will publish the minutes.

The dugout5 Mar 2029

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑3 defeat, delivered by Simon Jones to a room that had heard them before.

Squad26 Feb 2029

A knee injury of the worst kind for Joseph Wright

37 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.

Market26 Feb 2029

Rodrigo Fortes 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.

Boardroom26 Feb 2029

The scrutiny sharpens at Oldham Athletic

Nobody upstairs has said anything, which is the loudest thing they could do. Results buy silence in this game; the account at Oldham Athletic is running low.

Squad26 Feb 2029

Rodrigo Fortes 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.

Squad26 Feb 2029

Words at Oldham Athletic training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Calum Kavanagh 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.

Match24 Feb 2029

Oldham Athletic come up short against Barnet

Barnet left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout26 Feb 2029

No hiding place for Tobias Asenzo

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

The dugout26 Feb 2029

Simon Jones answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 1‑2, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

The dugout26 Feb 2029

Tobias Asenzo is still being punished for one mistake

Nobody will confirm it and the team sheets confirm it every week. One error has bought him a spell as second choice that is already longer than the error deserved.

In brief
