After joining from Northern Irish Premiership side Glenavon in July 2011, McLaughlin’s breakthrough season came a year later, when he was selected as part of Liverpool’s first-team squad for their pre-season tour of the USA. However, any potential debut was put on hold due to injury, something that turned out to be a regular occurrence throughout his Liverpool career. Former Liverpool right-back Rob Jones, who coached McLaughlin at the Academy described the Northern Irishman as one of the best right-sided players he has ever seen and believed that he will make it if a club gives him a chance. (Lets hope it will be at Oldham)

I remember Kenny from our away days on the double decker bus that the lads used to hire. Rest In Peace Kenny.

08:39 TARKOWSKI MEDICAL Brentford defender James Tarkowski is having a medical at Burnley, according to the Football League Paper. The Lancashire club had an offer of £2.5m plus add-ons rejected for the centre-back earlier this month but it is believed he could be allowed to move for a fee of around £4m-£5m. Tarkowski is looking to move to the north of England for personal reasons. He has made 72 appearances for the Bees and his contract is set to expire at the end of next season.

Me thinks this is one of the most important matches of our season, if we lose this one I am struggling to see where our points will come from. The players confidence will be rock bottom and unfortunately I don't think Holden is the type of manager that will get the best out of the team. We need a manager who will put some fire in their guts and battle, because we are going to need it if we lose on Saturday. As it stands we have 46 points, we will probably be safe with (going off past seasons) 52 points Oldham Athletic v Barnsley =? Oldham Athletic v Milton Keynes Dons = 0, Crewe Alexander v Oldham Athletic = 0, (bottom 4 club) Oldham Athletic v Rochdale = 1 Bradford City v Oldham Athletic = 0 Oldham Athletic v Bristol City = 0 Crawley Town v Oldham Athletic = 0, (bottom 4 club) Oldham Athletic v Sheffield United =1 Coventry City v Oldham Athletic = 0 Oldham Athletic v Chesterfield= I would like to say 3 but if Tommy Lee's in goal? Walsall v Oldham Athletic = 0 Oldham Athletic v Peterborough United =our last match, we could need 3 points to stay up Against the sides currently in the bottom-four, the club has taken only two points out of a possible 21.. Jacob Mellis will be missing for three weeks George Elokobi, will be missing for six weeks Joseph Mills will be missing for six weeks Amari Morgan-Smith, will be missing for four weeks Philliskirk may as well be missing he’s been missing since the Rochdale game. Forte has not scored in 8 games Brian Wilson, suspended for Barnsley match Conor Wilkinson in the Republic of Ireland U21 squad, could miss Rochdale & Bradford matches. PS, But on the other hand if we WIN …................................... PPS, And for any Barnsley fan looking in, if Mr Johnson gets you promotion this season and you find yourselves in 7th place 3 points off the play off’s in the championship next season and your manager is seen scribbling notes in the dugout, beware he may be writing a 100 page document for another club a little bigger than yours, good luck!!!!!!. but not this Saturday, PPPS, Lets all give Mr Lee Johnson the welcome he deserves.
