TEAM NEWS

Reds have no fresh injury worries.

Oldham, who have used 40 players this season, report no new injury concerns either.

 

VIEW FROM INSIDE THE CAMP

John Gregory: “This will be as difficult game as Wolves was. Oldham need the points to keep themselves clear of trouble and they will look on this as a game they can win. Our attitude will have to be spot on but I am sure it will."

 

Lee Johnson (Oldham manager): “I saw Crawley beat Wolves on Tuesday and they were very, very good. They have 13 to 14 top quality players and they made Wolves look a poor side. We need to be right at them from the start.”

 

WE’VE MET BEFORE

The sides have met on three previous occasions and all three of our goals have been scored by defenders. Our only previous visit to Oldham ended in a 2-1 defeat last April despite a Mark Connolly goal. At home Joe Walsh’s early goal secured a 1-0 win in September. Last season’s home game finished 1-1 with Kyle McFadzean on target.

 

FORM GUIDE

Reds have lost just one of their last ten league games while Oldham have two wins from their last ten but none in their last five.
