HEAD COACH - HARRY KEWELL

Hello and good evening
Latics fans. After a great
win at the weekend at
home to Bradford City,
it’s important that we
back that up against
Walsall.
Hopefully, this match will be the last
without fans at Boundary Park so that we
can get our 12th man back.
Picking up our second league home win of
season on Saturday has definitely given the
lads a massive boost alongside our
   impressive away form. The lads deserved
      it at the weekend after working
          tirelessly on the training pitch to
          make sure that we put things right
         after the Sunderland defeat.
        It was fantastic to have Zak Dearnley
     back on Saturday and he was able to get
       a few important minutes into his legs at
       the end of the game. He’s a talented
      player with a great attitude so it’s
      always good to have people of his
  character amongst the squad.
Overall, there were countless positives from
the game at Bradford, for example, I thought
Dylan Bahamboula was outstanding and
caused them endless problems also
defensively we looked solid but it’s
frustrating we didn’t come away from a clean
sheet.
As I keep saying we’re still a fairly new squad,
so there will be bumps in the road, however,
we’re looking at the big picture and once
these lads know each other’s game inside
out then we will be flowing.
Darrell Clarke’s side will offer a tough test for
us especially when you take into account
some of their recent results and
performances which has seen them go
unbeaten in four games. They like to get the
ball down and play but also have the
adaptability to go direct and physical so we
must be prepared.
Once again, I’m thankful for all the
supportive messages I’ve received on social
media recently. It’s great to see the fans so
passionate about their club and let’s try and
kick on now and climb this table!

Harry

TALK ABOUT LAST MINUTE!
Latics legend Andy Ritchie discusses his late equaliser in the
first-leg against Southampton in the Littlewoods Cup 1990.
"The referee had come in before
the game into both dressing
rooms and told us what he was
going to do and said to the
manager and players ‘when 45
minutes is up at half-time I'm
blowing with no injury time and
I'm going to add all the injury time
on at the end of the game'.
“Why he did it I don't know
because in those days you usually
had your 45 minutes and maybe a
minute or two of extra time and
then your next 45 and a minute or
two of injury time or whatever it
was, but he chose that night to do
it the other way and we had seven
minutes at the end.” He
commented.
“I managed to score on virtually
the final whistle because they
took the ball to the centre spot,
kick-off and then he blew for full-
time and then it all went off.
Jimmy Case went absolutely
ballistic and ran over to the
referee giving his abuse so I tried
to get Jimmy away because I knew
him and we were good mates, we
played together at Brighton, and
he wouldn't shake my hand after
the game. It really wasn't good
after the game.
“But we got there, and I managed
to score the two goals and they
were very worried about coming
up to Oldham and playing us on
the plastic and their worries were
confounded because we beat
them 2-0."
