The Latics play Doncaster on Saturday, their first game under the charge of interim manager David Dunn who will be looking for sustained effort from his new charges.
He commented, “Training went really well and I got a very good reaction off the players. Hopefully that’s a sign of things to come. It’s a bit different to just being a player, of course. But I am a lad who loves challenges. Certainly after Saturday, there were a lot of things I didn’t see that should have been there. It hasn’t really happened for Oldham over a period of a lot of years. I’m here, hopefully, to start changing that.”
“We have to focus on the games coming up. The first, at Doncaster on Saturday, is big for us. We got a reaction in training — now we need a reaction in the game, where it counts. In the short term, we need to get results and I am sure the fans will agree. There’s nothing wrong with winning 1-0.”
