Doesn't Oldhams new keeper need international clearance? Signed from Cardiff today, Welsh FA are notoriously slow with this sort of thing.

Going for a easy 2-0 win Thomas with both goals. We can bask in the new season optimism for a week enjoying looking at the table wondering what we were all worried about and hoping Thomas could be our 20 goal man.
Before all our weaknesses being cruely exposed the following week at home to pompey and thomas or riberio limping off

A scrappy affair, heading towards a 0-0, only for Williamson to come up for a corner and score a header in the 88th minute.
0-1

Oldham have signed Ben Wilson on loan from Cardiff to go in goal for them. Never heard of him and hope he picks the ball out of the back of his net a few times tomorrow. From Ben Wilson's wiki page: "After conceding a goal from a free-kick taken by Jerome Okimo from inside his own half during a 2–1 defeat to Stevenage, Wilson became embroiled in a row with Wimbledon supporters after he received criticism of his performance on social media website Twitter. Wilson responded to the messages by posting you're still paying to watch me every week and helping towards my wage, I'm laughing and you're losing out. His loan spell was cut short ahead of schedule two days later on 14 December 2015." Let's get the crowd on his back. And let's get on his back!!

Totally different team and manager. Build up selection seemingly totally random. Most likely 0-0. Yeah, I heard that Pep chose the teams out of a hat

A new season, a new dawn. Trouble is, we've got so many new names and I haven't learned them all, yet, so bear with me. My crystal ball has been polished and lacquered and it has come up with: Oldham 1 Oxford United 1 (That new bloke) Att: 6765 and 1023 Yellows fans. Who's it will pass it to what's his name, who will smack a beauty into the top left corner. Thomas will injure his coccyx and Ribiero will fracture his clavicle. Oh, yes (wait for it) .................a dog will run onto the pitch in the second half. Good to be back!

I have a sneaky feeling we will walk it 3-1. Payne, Hall and Thomas. The lucky gloves are not making the trip north so a good victory could see their early retirement.

I reckon a hard earned point with a solid battling performance to start the campaign off.
Not many clear chances for either side with Ledson equalising in a 1-1 draw
So it'll probably be 5-4 to someone...

Do we blame the pitch, training methods or gypsy curse?

Missed that, is Martin available? Rather have a proper centre half as cover, especially given that Tiendalli isn't even match fit, but if we don't have any I suppose we will have to make do. Let hope it's not similar to Ribero's ankle injury last season! Very very similar ... blocked a shot, bent his ankle back and fell awkwardly. First signs were that its not too bad but that what was said about Ribeiro until he had a scan. They have also found quite comprehensive ligament damage in Raglan so lightening does indeed strike twice. I hope its not as bad as Ribs but he may need an op and that could be 12 weeks !!
Forgot to mention score 0 -0 for 80 minutes until we start to tire at the back 2 subs in defence and they nick it 1- 0 with a penalty.

Cheers Diago for the update. Not a good start with Hemmings injured as well. Is Martin fit as back up centre half? Not seen any pre season and haven't heard him mentioned in the bits of commentary I've caught.
Can't make today but someone needs to start the "I wasn't there today, Jerome" phone-in later 😉

Looking forward to seeing how cohesive the side look. I think Thomas is a better bet than Hemmings ... sounds like we'll see soon enough if the later is injured... and assuming Obika doesn't start ahead of Thomas. I suspect oldham to be fairly physical so expect Thomas to get the nod. Fast start, goals from Johnson, Thomas and Payne... well I can dream. Johnson man of match and sold before end of window 🙄COYY!
