LAST MEETING: LEYTON ORIENT 2 OLDHAM 1 (28-3-2009) Scott McGleish levelled from the penalty spot for the O’s on 68 minutes, after Dan Whitaker had put the Latics ahead in the first half.
Jason Demetriou sealed maximum points for Geraint Williams’ side on 84 minutes.
ALL ABOUT OLDHAM ATHLETIC: Last season was one of strife at the club, as management and squad squabbled among themselves.
Striker Lee Hughes Hughes tussled with a team mate. He is one of several players to have gone during the summer.
Eight new signings are in place.
Now Dave Penney is boss and Oldham seem more settled. Crave a play-off place.
DANGER MEN: New hitman Pawel Abbott looks dangerous.
Playmaker Dean Furman from Rangers could pose a threat from midfield.
Local boy Chris Taylor is dangerous down the flanks.
PREDICTION: 3-2 Orient win.
DID YOU KNOW: Oldham want to build a shiny new ground a la Colchester Utd and Shrewsbury Town.
But there must be a dearth of Latics fans in the area where the club want to build because they are fighting plans all the way.
MIDWEEK: Orient host Charlton at Brisbane Road on Tuesday.
A great chance to gain to scalp in a derby clash.
