Player ratings14 Dec 2026
Harrison Jones, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.68
A mark of 7.68 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.
Match12 Dec 2026
The wait goes on for Oldham Athletic
4 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.
Squad14 Dec 2026
Callum Maycock 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.
Player ratings14 Dec 2026
The game went through Donervon Daniels — 7.33
Marked 7.33 on 12 actions at both ends of the pitch. Midfielders like this get described as unspectacular by people who have never tried to play against one.

Oldham Athletic supporters have found a favourite in Harrison Jones
There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 21-year-old it feels ownership of. Harrison Jones has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.
Match12 Dec 2026
Harrison Jones rescues a point for Oldham Athletic
It needed Harrison Jones to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against Harrogate Town, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

Nobody could get near Kieron Morris
Successful dribbles: 14. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
The dugout14 Dec 2026
The view from the dugout
“We did not lose. Some weeks that is all you get, and I would rather have the point than not.” Timothy Williams chose the glass-half-full version of 1‑1; the supporters left with the other one.
The dugout14 Dec 2026
No hiding place for Tom Pett
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Tom Pett, and the manager let it.
