Who's your Man of the Match v Oldham?

Tue, 24 Mar 2026 22:35:14 +0000

A very dissapointing evening at Oldham. Poor conditions with a strong wind and rain. The sending off of Ollie Norburn didn't help the Notts cause especially facing the wind in the 2nd half.

Match Discussion: League 2 - Oldham Athletic (A)

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 08:51:07 +0000

League 2: The Latics (A).

Venue: Boundary Park.

Date: Tuesday 24th March.

Kick off: 19:45 pm.

Notts travel to an Oldham Athletic team who are the form team of League 2. They are unbeaten in 9 games with 7 wins & 2 draws. The last team to beat them was Swindon Town on the 7th Feb. They currently stand in 11th place in League 2 on 58 points, just 4 points from a playoff place.

As a result of their last 10 matches, Oldham are top of the form table. They have earned 23 points from a possible 30. They have scored 16 goals & conceded only 5. They have the best defensive record in the League having conceded just 31 goals from 37 matches.

Notts will be looking for their third consecutive win on Tuesday, however, Oldham are the best team in the League on current form, so it won't be easy & could prove to be the toughest game of the season so far.

Notts will welcome back Matt Dennis after his suspension, so 3 Strikers will be available to Martin Paterson on Tuesday. Tyrese Hall & Maziar Kouhyar will be missing as they are on international duty. Even so, it should still be a strong bench.

Notts will also be bouyed by the great form of players like Jodi Jones, who is back to his best, Tom Iorpenda who had a masterclass against Cheltenham, & Skipper Matt Palmer, who is back to his influential best. Even those players on the bench have shown their ability to come on & change the game in Notts's favour.

The game could well be decided on Notts's ability to break through the Oldham defence, & successfully counter Oldham's physicality, high energy & aerial threat from their strikers. I have a feeling that Martin will be happy with a draw even though he always wants to win every game.

So what are your thoughts on this important match for Notts. What would your starting line-up be? What will be the key areas for the Magpies to get a victory? What do you think the final score will be?
