@LeeErwin19 smashes home from close range for @OfficialOAFC v @OfficialBWFC on Easter Saturday. A great win for 10 man Oldham Atheltic.
.
During this two-month spell The Latics have kept an impressive 6 clean sheets and only conceded 11 goals.
Wins against good quality sides such as Bolton Wanderers, Oxford United, Northampton Town and Fleetwood Town have all but guaranteed them League One football next season.
The highly impressive Connor Ripley in goal and the rock hard captain Peter Clarke will be formidable obstacles on Easter Monday. Having dragged themselves out of the bottom four in the last eight weeks they are likely to prove tough opponents.
They have beaten The Cod Army 2-0 and The Trotters 1-0 in their last two matches. Keeping a clean sheet in matches against promotion chasing sides at this stage of the season is no mean feat.
