Oldham Athletic boss Micky Mellon expects his side to face a stern examination at the JobServe Community Stadium tomorrow, describing Colchester United as a well-organised team who will be desperate to claim their first win.
What's at stake?
Oldham are currently 4th in League Two, with 3 points from 1 game, and a recent form of W, having scored 2 goals and conceded 0, with a goal difference of +2.
The opposition
Colchester United, managed by Danny Cowley, will be a tough opponent, with Mellon knowing Cowley well from previous managerial battles.
The challenge ahead
Mellon stressed that his players will need to be close to their best if they are to return home with a result, saying 'They'll be really well organised and we know that we again will need to be somewhere near best to get something down there.'
The bigger picture
Oldham's next fixture is against Chesterfield on February 20, 2027, and they will be looking to build on their current form, with Mellon's side aiming to make a strong push in the league.
