Hello everyone and welcome back to my Oldham story! We were doing well in November, we had climbed to top of the Coca Cola Championship, now we had to keep up the good form to ensure that we stayed there.

Hello everyone, welcome back to my story with Oldham! We have started well in the Championship, at the end of October we were sitting in 2nd place, one point behind the leaders Wigan. We start the month with a home tie against Derby, they were in 17th place, so I was confident of a win. The match was a poor one, we dominated but Derby’s defence held firm. The match was drifting away into a [Read more]
Hello everyone, welcome back to another update about my Oldham story!

Hello everyone, welcome back! At the end of March we were doing very well, we were 17 points clear and needed just another three wins from the final eight games to secure promotion. The first game of the month was against Gillingham, they were struggling near the foot of the table, so I expected a win. We completely dominated the game, but our finishing was poor, we had already had three clear cut chances when Febian Brandy twisted away from [Read more]
