Oldham
Latics
hoping to bounce back
Oldham
will be hoping to bounce back from the disappointing home defeat at the
hands of Cardiff when they travel to Notts County on Monday. The Latics
crashed to a 2-1 defeat against the relegation candidates at Boundary Park
after taking the lead on Saturday, and must now pick themselves up for
the trip to Meadow Lane. Neither side has much left to play for this season,
so it could turn out to be a typical end of season affair although Latics
boss Andy Ritchie will undoubtedly be stressing to his players the importance
of finishing the season on a positive note. Ritchie may decide to make
changes for the game and give some fringe players and youngsters the chance
to impress before the end of the season. Teamtalk
Notts County
All
hopes dead
The Magpies
go into Bank Holiday Monday's clash with Oldham with nothing to play for
for the first time this season. County sit in 8th place in the table following
Saturday's results, on 64 points, but after the 2-0 defeat by Wycombe on
Friday all hope of a play-off place has gone out of the window. If Gary
Brazil's men were to pick up all the remaining nine points on offer then
they could only finish in 7th place in the table on goal difference, that
is if Stoke failed to gain another point and didn't score too many goals.
Otherwise they are fourteen points off of Millwall in the final play-off
place, so promotion hungry fans will have to start pinning their hope on
next season. Gary Brazil may now be ready to try and test out some of his
fringe players ahead of the new campaign now that there is nothing left
to play for. He will look at his resources over the weekend before announcing
a final eleven for the Meadow Lane date, and the chances are there will
be a couple of different faces on view.

Brazil has a number of injury worries as his Notts County squad entertain
Oldham at Meadow Lane. Mark Warren missed Friday's 2-0 defeat at Wycombe
with a back problem, while Dennis Pearce missed out with a thigh injury.
Sean Farrell was another casualty with a thigh problem, and midfielder
Shaun Murray was unavailable with an Achilles injury. Brazil said: "Oldham
are a side doing half-decently. They are getting a good run of results
and Andy Ritchie is doing a good job." Oldham boss Andy Ritchie is set
to make changes to his Latics side that faces Notts County after their
disappointing performance in the defeat against Cardiff. The Latics travel
to County with Richard Graham likely to start in place of Mark Hotte. Other
changes are likely after head coach Billy Urmson blasted the weekend performance.
Urmson said: "We had too many out there who didn't play to their potential.
They know who they are because I told them after the game. We can't make
any excuses."
