Oldham Athletic vs. City Sky Bet League Two - Matchday 26 Saturday 30th January 2021 - 3pm KO HEAD COACH - “We return to this afternoon for the second time in a week as we look to pick up from where we left off in our victory here seven days ago.”

Nicky’s pedigree speaks for itself, he is a player I have admired for a long time and his impact within the squad has already been evident. Nicky’s leadership and experience meant I had no hesitation in handing him the captain’s armband on his debut and even at the age of 34, his energy levels and endeavour are an example to everyone. Nicky was instrumental in forcing the winning goal against Newport and I was also delighted to see Davis Keillor-Dunn on the scoresheet again. I have spoken before about the huge talent Davis possesses and in recent weeks we have seen him make some vital contributions to games. It was, of course, disappointing that we were unable to follow up Saturday’s win with a result at Cheltenham Town in midweek, despite the number of chances created in the first-half. Cheltenham as a team are very streetwise and again it was a lesson to us in how we need to be shrewder in these sort of games.

Getting results at home is crucial to the progress of any Games such as the one against Newport must have been team and now we are in the second part of the campaign, it very entertaining for you to watch from home. It isn’t the is important we use the win as a platform to achieve greater same here without you but once again we’ll be doing all we consistency here. can to ensure you have reason to cheer this afternoon. Playing against ten men, especially when you have got to force the game, is never easy, but the players showed great application and our performance was such that the winning margin should have been bigger. A big factor in the turnaround was our use of the wide areas and key to that was the performance of . Harry

“We signed Milly (Mark Milligan) from the rebound of leaving Manchester City and other likes Ian Marshall came out of Everton reserves and Denis Irwin was given a free by Leeds United and you’ve still got to shake your head at that. “Me and Jim Cassell were out three nights a week watching games and at least once a month we’d get together. We watched Halifax in the lower leagues because they usually played on a Friday, we watched the two Manchester clubs, the two clubs and Leeds United so that was our market. There was no point us scouting down at Chelsea or Arsenal because they weren’t going to come up here. “When Denis Irwin was given a free, Pete Gumby, their Head of Youth Recruitment rang me up and said ‘Joe I know you like him but Billy’s given him a free and he’s going to Chesterfield tomorrow’ so I rang Stotty (Ian Stott) straight away saying ‘I’m not sure we need a right-back desperately but I think that this kid is exceptional and he’s going on a free’ and whilst he was thinking about it I said the magic Joe royle took a look back at his recruitment strategy words to him ‘I think that we’ll make money on this one whilst in charge of latics as well as revealing how denis Chairman’ and from the first moment he arrived, we knew irwin’s transfer to Boundary Park came about. and the players knew that he could play could Denis.”
