Les has lost both previous home games against the Latics. Last season's opener, where a late deflected effort from ITM gave the impression of a closer game than the reality and a 0-1 at a fog-bound PP the previous season. Oldham come into this on the back of a deserved win over the Franchise, helped by a goalkeeping slip (literally) from former Rovers loanee Dave Martin at the Boundary Park swamp to give the home side the lead.
I don't think that Les will have much to think about in terms of team selection, given the Joss ban and continuing injury absences. Hopefully, the brain time saved there can be deployed to devising a strategy for retaining possession and making sure our striker (presumably Enoch) isn't totally isolated. Baxter needs to be further forward than the Bournemouth game for a start.
Prediction. Another draw. Despite Oldham's decent travelling support, due to home apathy, we'll do well to get over 6k for this one.
