Oldham Athletic vs. Bolton Wanderers Sky Bet League Two - Matchday 31 Tuesday 2nd March 2021 - 7pm KO HEAD COACH - “Hi everyone and thanks once again for supporting us from home.” There’s always an extra sense of anticipation when a home fixture comes straight on the back of a good away win and that’s certainly been evident over the past few days in our preparation for this evening’s game. The result we picked up at United on Saturday felt like more than just three points due to the manner in which it was achieved and the character shown by the players to come from behind in such dramatic circumstances. As a team, we have developed a habit this season of battling back in games, and for the second successive Saturday, I was incredibly proud of our determination to keep going against strong opposition and produce a hard-earned result. I have said throughout the season that we have a young squad full of potential and our ability to record a win at Carlisle, along with the draw at Tranmere Rovers the previous weekend, shows we are progressing in the right way. Of course, we were all disappointed with the home defeat against Barrow in the middle of those results, but to respond so quickly in a difficult fixture is testament to the players and their hunger to put things right. No-one typifies that mentality more than who, despite being limited in his game-time in recent weeks, came off the bench to register an outstanding second-half performance at Brunton Park before scoring the goal that made sure of the win. Carl is someone who is respected by all of the players. He is an excellent professional who has always led by example and his celebration after heading home our third goal showed exactly what the moment meant to him and the rest of the lads. The importance of this being a squad game is particularly relevant in a season such as this. The players are under no illusions that they all have a key role to play and the fact that all four substitutes helped shaped the outcome on Saturday is further evidence of that. I am delighted that has been able to translate his excellent attacking performances into more goals recently, and it was also pleasing to see Marcel Hilssner find the target for the first time in English football to start the turnaround at Brunton Park. In Bolton Wanderers, we welcome a team tonight who are right in form. The quality within their squad has never been in doubt and deserves great credit for their recent run of five straight wins which has put them firmly in the promotion picture. That level of consistency is something we are all currently striving for. The way Bolton have elevated themselves up the table is an example to every team in the division and with plenty of points to play for it shows what can still be achieved in a relatively short period of time. With the added ingredient of this being a local fixture, I am sure there will be a real sense of excitement in both camps as kick- off approaches. Our job tonight is to ensure our performance lives up to that billing. As the first of back-to-back home games, we are focused on getting a result so we can look to build our own momentum as the final part of the season approaches. As well as the players, I know this is a fixture you will all be looking forward to and we want to make sure we use it as an opportunity to reward your continued support. Best wishes,

BOUNDARY BULLETIN - 03 VISITING … THE TROTTERS MAN AT THE TOP...

Latics legend John Sheridan took a look back at an interesting team-talk he gave in September 2006 away at Bournemouth. “We were playing Bournemouth away, it might have been the first game of the season and we’d worked on our game and system all week for Bournemouth because they were a decent side. Anyway, I’d changed the system and I played Neil Woods in a diamond and it was a different system to what we were used to, so the game has kicked off and we’re 3-0 down after about 20 minutes. “So, I’ve come in at half-time with Tommy (Wright) and Lee (Duxbury), who were my coaching staff, and I got into the dressing room and told all the lads to sit down because we’re 3-0 down and I’m absolutely fuming. I’ve got them and said, ‘I’ve changed the system and you’ve gone out there and you can’t do this that and the other and we’re 3-0 down, what’s going on!’.” He added. “Dux and Tommy are behind me and I’ve gone ‘From now on I’m telling the f****** lot of you, we’re going to play 4-4-f******-2’ and all the players started laughing and I’m going off my head! Tommy and Dux behind me are absolutely creased up because of the way I said it. “Anyway, we went back out and ten minutes into the second-half we got it back to 3-2 and we nearly got something out of the game.”
