Sky bet have both sides 10/11 off scratch! Don't let your heart rule your head that's a great price on oldham

Didn't last long ... Oldham 8/11 already.

Bet365 ...

Oldham -2 10/11
Dons +2 10/11
Handicap Draw 16/1

A Dons win is 6/5

This will probably go to 4 or 6 before kick off so get on now

The bookies are giving us a better chance than I imagined.

I know there aren't many of us post on here these days but it's ironic how everyone's head seems to be ruling their hearts as we all make Oldham clear favourites.

The importance of today's game can't be overstated. It's massive in terms of our season.

Skybet now Dons +4 10/11 and 5/4 the win.

They're starting to come a little closer to our way of thinking.

Have you been able to get on Oldham at a decent price?

Kept it simple. 8/11 for the win with Bet365.

If I'm wrong, at least the Dons will have got a result.

I just hope we don't get beat without putting in a serious effort and we have one of those Dons eighty minute games that puts a smile on everyone's faces. Come on lads get the attitude today spot on.

The psychology behind today's game, both for the fans and players, is fascinating.

If we win, we'll probably be more confident we'll at least finish second. As a consequence, we won't fear Oldham too much if we play them at home in the play-offs.

If we lose, we might finish behind Oldham and have to visit their place again in the play-offs. This time confidence would be much lower. Should we lose by more than 12 today, confidence would be pretty low.

Of course, one game is only one game but in the context of this league, the matches against your main rivals count for much more. Top of the table rivals have very few games in which they might realistically drop points.

If we lose today, we can't win the league unless we beat Dewsbury and they also drop points against someone else.

If we lose today, to get back above Oldham, they'd probably have to lose at Dewsbury and we'd have to beat Dewsbury.

Hunslet and Workington might nick points off the top sides somewhere along the way but the above basically puts into context the importance of today.

The Dewsbury v Oldham fixture is next Friday so the table will look pretty interesting by the time that is over.

HT Oldham 16 Dons 6

Note: Kicked off 14 mins late due to a medical emergency in the stadium.

FT Oldham 22 Dons 28

Credit where credit is due, that was one hell of a fightback! 22-6 down early in the second half.

22-6 down, then the come back!

It'll be interesting to hear from those who went. The rain coming at half-time seemed to lead to more errors and we took advantage of that.
