With the pressure mounting on David Dunn after a 1-0 defeat away to bottom side Crewe, the Oldham manager says his side should shoulder the blame for another dismal performance.

Memphis Depay was elated to play a pivotal role in Manchester United’s 2-1 win against Watford and the former PSV Eindhoven star expressed his gratitude to Ryan Giggs for aiding his development.

Keith Hill reacted to fan criticism after his Rochdale side won 2-0 at Doncaster to end their run of seven league games without a win.

Neil Lennon has called on his senior players to take more responsibility after Bolton made it 11 games without a win on Saturday with a 2-1 reverse at Reading.

Having beaten both Chesterfield and Mansfield in the space of a week, manager David Dunn says Oldham will not be complacent ahead of hosting luckless Barnsley this weekend.

Neil Lennon has called on his Bolton side to bring some relief in a tough time for the club with a win at playoff contenders Reading.

David Dunn claimed his second win as Oldham boss thanks to two second-half goals in Chesterfield, despite what the manager called an out-of-character first-half display.
