Oldham Athletic (A) League 1 Saturday 29/12/07

Thu Dec 27, 2007 9:52 am

Form Guide Oldhams last 6 league games,

Bournemouth - away - 3-0
Luton - home - drew 1-1
Doncaster - home - drew 1-1
Millwall - away - won 3-2
Southend - away - won 1-0
Forest - home - drew 0-0

Tough one , Oldham are 11 games unbeaten and sit comfortably in 15th position on 28 points from 21 games .
and a certain Lee Hughes has rediscovered his goalscoring touch .
Prediction a very hard fought 1-1 draw.

Is Ricketts available for this game, (as with Fox & Gerrard presumably suspended? and Mooney doubtful?) it will mean quite a few changes.

When Ricketts first arrived it was said that Oldham had given clearance for him to play in FA Cup ties AND in the fixture against them. That indicated to me that (1) they had no intention of having him back and (2) they had no Cup ambitions or expectations of getting into the 3rd round (are they there, I have no idea?).

So if that original report was correct, he will be available on Saturday, and I certainly hope so, given the number of enforced absentees that we have for this game.

Can't see us getting anything at Boundary Park in the circumstances, but who knows, stranger things have happened. Maybe they have injuries and suspensions too. :?

Not going to this one :cry: I suspect it will be hard work with the enforced changes and would settle for a point and be very happy with one! Come on the lads!

As I posted earlier, it has now been confirmed that Ricketts IS available and will play against Oldham. See Money's comments on the subject in tonight's E & S.

Going to be a hard game with Fox and Gerrard missing. Is Mooney going to play or is he still injured? Hopefully he can as he makes the side one bit better. Still think it is going to be a draw with Rickets scoring!!
Come on Walsall :D

Personally I think it'll be a bit or a dud draw to be honest. But, with players injured / suspended I'll take a point.

Anything we get from this game will impress me if I'm honest. Along with us, they've got one of the best recent form records and have a striker who seems to be scoring for fun.
Head says we'll lose 1-0.
Heart says we'll sneak a 1-1 draw.

We're going to have to play a hell of a lot better than we did at Vale to get anything at all.

Despite missing a couple of key players, I still fancy us getting a result from this. Having said that, we have to lose some time - so my 'educated' guess is a 1-1 draw.

Good question. I'd guess Wrack, or possibly Gerrard.
