Oldham Athletic assesses current squad amid Norwood injury
Micky Mellon says Oldham Athletic will be ever-evolving under his watch, but he is satisfied with his January transfer business.
The Latics boss made six new signings, with Ethan Walker, Sai Sachdev and Andrew Dallas all arriving on loan while there have been permanent deals for Ollie Hammond, Tom Conlon, Joe Garner, with Joe Nuttall, Kurt Willoughby and Brennan Dickenson all departing on loan.
And although Mellon insists there is still work to do as he moulds his squad, he is encouraged by the progress being made with personnel, although the recent injury to James Norwood could dictate whether he delves back into the transfer market sooner rather than later.
The striker limped off in the second half of Saturday’s goalless draw at Ebbsfleet with a hamstring injury, with early indications suggesting a six to eight-week lay-off.
“It’s moving towards what I want, to try to stamp my own mark on it now with the players we bring in,” said the Scot.
But I think it will ever be evolving, when the opportunity comes where we think there’s a player that can give us a better chance of winning games of football and we have the room to try and do that then we would try to do that. But at the minute we’re happy with the group that we’re working with.
