David Dunn branded Saturday’s goalless draw at Spotland a ‘typical derby’, after a game of few chances yielded Latics’ first clean sheet since August.

Rochdale and Oldham have told fans to be on their best behaviour at Spotland this weekend in a bid to avoid a repeat of last year’s ugly scenes.

David Dunn believes this weekend is the perfect time for a local derby, after finally recording his first win as Oldham boss away at managerless Swindon on Tuesday night.

Rochdale boss Keith Hill says his players will be up for the battle against local rivals Oldham Athletic at Spotland tomorrow.

David Dunn believes the long-awaited opening of the North Stand has taken a huge weight from the shoulders of the club, and hopes that success on the pitch will follow.

Oldham boss David Dunn says he understands the supporters’ disappointment after a run of just one win in 22 matches, but has called for calm ahead of Saturday’s home encounter with Sheffield United.

David Dunn suffered his first defeat as Oldham Athletic manager on Saturday, as fellow strugglers Scunthorpe United took all three points away from Boundary Park.

Oldham have this week appointed David Dunn as permanent manager, following signs of improvement in his four-match unbeaten term as interim boss.

56% of first-time managers never work in the top four divisions again.

David Dunn hailed his side’s performance as their best of the season, as Latics came away from high-flying Gillingham with a fourth successive draw.

David Dunn is eyeing a first away victory of the season at Gillingham on Saturday, despite the Gills chasing promotion, and boasting a 100% home record so far.
