I was on last week wondering why Cameron Dummigan had only played 12 games, he's played a few more since.
It is atrocious.

They were down the bottom massively struggling when he went there.

since then he has played 6 games. They have only lost one and kept 4 cleansheets including today against Millwall who are doing well. Must be doing something right.

It is atrocious.
Hardly atrocious when the lad has an injury that's going to keep him out for weeks. Once Sheridan went back in as manager, replacing Robinson, Dummigan was a regular starter until the injury.


The pleasing thing with Aiden O'Neill is that not only is he starting every game but he's also finishing every game. I think today was the first time he'd been substituted and he still got 79 minutes.

You've misread me, CT. I was on their site to find out if he'd been injured. It's the site that's atrocious. I learned nothing.

Oldham are 20th in the table and yet they have 14 clean sheets, the highest in league one. Amazing.

It's good to see him getting some game time.
Literally being a youngster was enough for some today to say he should have been playing for us earlier on this season.

Dumigan isn't our player anymore but at least he's got a football league club which doesn't seem to be the majority of cases over the last 5 years.

Its the perfect scenario for his development - a League 1 relegation dogfight. He'll soon "grow up" in that environment.

Wait, Dummigan left us permanently? I thought he was our most promising youngster (I believe CT said so)

Thanks for the info everyone. Sounds positive. I wonder if we'll look to get him out to Championship level next season? I imagine young Agyei will go out on loan next season as well.

Same here, both the Latics I work with reckon he's the best player they've seen in an Oldham shirt since they were in the Prem back in early 90's

They must have forgotten Richard Eckersley.

Thank you very much SkiptonClaret.

I'd forgotten Richard Eckersley until then. It'll take months to forget him again. >:(

A word for Oldham's keeper who saved 2 penalties yesterday, in the 90th and 95th mins !

Apparently aloud to free roam in the midfield infront of two ball winners.
Has alot of skill in his play and a real creative playmaker
One for the future
