OLDHAM 1 - 1 MK DONS (R/L 2-1)
Man of the match: Danny Whitaker
(5923)
Oldham were seemingly happy with their point against the MK Dons, although the Dons are struggling to pick up points at this early stage in the season. Danny Whitaker scored the first goal in the game after just 15 minutes with a great volley from an impossible angle, the ball just fired into the top right hand corner of the net past goalkeeper, Daniel Glass, the 18-year-old youngster not having the best of starts to the game. The game stayed at 1-0 until 60 minutes gone when from nothing Aaron Wilbraham put the ball in the back of the net, the former oldham striker broke away from the defenders when captain Sean Gregan mis-placed a back-pass and played Wilbraham through on goal. Manger Alex Mawer said 'it was a silly pass to take from Sean, and he knows he's done wrong but hey were all human and we all make mistakes.

OLDHAM 3 - 0 YEOVIL (R/L 0-0)
Man of the match: Paul Benson
(5581)
October has started well for Oldham, a 3-0 win over Yeovil starting off the month in style. The home form of Oldham is unquestionable but away form is letting them down. Marlon Harewood easily stood out again in this game with two goals, the first of which coming after 3 minutes, brilliant play by defender Chris Morgan to find Harewood over the Yeovil defense, put him through on goal and as cool as you like he slotted the ball up high in the net and ran over and celebrated with the Oldham fans, that was the players 10th goal of the season, and ninth in the league, although he didn't have to wait long for his 10th. Just 7 minutes later to be exact, some bad defending from Yeovil left him clean through on goal, in the same place as the first goal, and again it was the same result, high into the net and the Yeovil keeper was frustrated with his defense. Half-time looming and a bad tackle on striker Chris Dagnall meant that he limped of the pitch and straight up the Boundary Park tunnel seeking some treatment. This meant that Paul Benson could come on for the seconds that remained in the first half. Benson made his impact in the second half though when he climbed higher than the popular ex-Oldham defender Stefan Stam, to head the ball straight into the middle of the net, god only knows where the keeper was at this point. Manager Alex Mawer said after the game, 'it was a brilliant performance from my lads, a great team effort, all we need to do now is get it right in the away games and we could be looking at a play-off place at the end of the season if we stay consistent'. Oldham are only 2 points away from 6th place even though they sit in 13th place at the present time, this just shows how close this battle is.
