Squad28 Sep 2026

A knee injury of the worst kind for Kieron Morris

44 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.

Match26 Sep 2026

A bad afternoon for Oldham Athletic against Milton Keynes Dons

1‑2 to Milton Keynes Dons, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Tom Conlon 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.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Manny Monthé wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Oldham Athletic know it.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Appearance number 100 for Calum Kavanagh

100 games in this shirt, through managers and relegations and everything else. Service like it is disappearing from the game and the crowd knows what it is watching.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

No hiding place for Josh Hawkes

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

The dugout28 Sep 2026

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 1‑2 James Grant left the room before anybody could ask which.

Market28 Sep 2026

Jake Leake told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Jake Leake has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Oldham Athletic.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

Kane Taylor dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Squad24 Aug 2026

The knee: Kieron Morris out for 85 days

85 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.

Match22 Aug 2026

Oldham Athletic taken apart

0‑3 to Chesterfield, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Market24 Aug 2026

Jake Leake asks to leave Oldham Athletic

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Josh Eccles is a medical away from Oldham Athletic

The deal with Coventry City is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Oldham Athletic

José María Riquelme 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.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Oldham Athletic rebuffed over Joe Buršík

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

Match18 Aug 2026

Oldham Athletic get the job done against Crawley Town

A 1‑0 win over Crawley Town, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Words at Oldham Athletic training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Manny Monthé 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.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Ryan Woods in the eights

A performance of 8.06 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.
