The Latics saved their best away performance of the season for the final match as they romped to a 1-4 success at out of sorts Crewe Alexandra. Goals from Deane Smalley, Neal Eardley (2) and Gary McDonald resulted in their their ninth away League success of the season. Over 1,200 Latics fans, many in fancy dress, watched the humiliation which, thankfully for Crewe, left the Railwaymen still in League One after the result. The win leap-frogged the Latics over Tranmere Rovers in the league table which also put a wry smile on many of the fans faces. Manager John Sheridan told Latics World, "We played very well today. Football-wise, that was the best performance of the season away from home. I know we had good results at Leeds and Everton but we dominated the game today. Mark Crossley made a couple of good saves after we got the first goal and we took control of the game after that. We moved the ball very well and it was an excellent team performance. I was disappointed to concede late on, but Neal Eardley got two goals and looked very comfortable in midfield, Gary and Deane both grabbed one and Craig Davies played his first game for a long time. We wanted to win the game and the attitude was spot on. We showed today that we are a very good team." "I'm pleased Crewe stayed up because I like them as a club and I have a lot of time for Dario Gradi and his coaching staff. I'm also delighted for our fans because they gave us great support today and fortunately we gave them something to smile about. There were plenty of goals, we could have had more and the fans looked like they were enjoying themselves. Eighth (position) is an excellent return considering what we've been missing all season. We showed today that the young players are coming on leaps and bounds and that is a massive benefit for this club. Now we can hopefully strengthen with four or five new players this summer to give us one or two things and make us a better squad. If we can get the right blend we've got a chance next season because we've shown over the last two seasons we can match anyone. But the magic word - I've said this so many times and I'll say it for the last time now - is consistency." Another of Athletic's promising youngsters, Deane Smalley, has signed a new three year deal with the club and he is delighted to be staying at Oldham for the next three years. Already the 19 year old has made over forty senior appearances. Smalley told Latics World, "I'm glad to have everything sorted out and of course I'm delighted to be at the club for another three years. I know things have been going on for a while but it was simply a case of actually sitting down and getting it signed. I've loved every minute of this season and have made over 40 appearances, hopefully I'll make more starts and score more goals next year. To be honest I didn't expect to play nearly as much football. I thought I'd be playing a lot of reserve games and just making the odd appearance off the bench. But I've had the opportunity to play against the big teams, and Everton in the FA Cup was something else. It was brilliant, especially because I got 90 minutes." Rumours have been circulating regarding Chris Taylor and suggestions have been made that he may be moving away from Boundary Park. Simon Corney has dispelled those rumours and has stated that Athletic have 'no intention' of selling the 21 year old winger. Taylor is under contract for a further two seasons at Boundary Park and Mr. Corney stated that only a 'silly offer' could prise the star player away from Oldham. He said, "We have no intention of selling Chris Taylor. He will be here at the start of next season unless someone makes a silly offer. We don't want to sell anyone, really. We've got seven or eight targets at the moment and three or four of those will probably progress further. John Sheridan is out every night looking at players and hopefully he'll bring the right ones in. We're still working on the budget, but John will be able to buy a player if he's the right one. But it must be the right one." Goalkeeper Mark Crossley has signed a new one year deal after expressing a wish to stay at the club in a playing and coaching capacity. 38 year old Crossley has made 44 appearances since signing on a free transfer from Fulham. He is involved with the coaching set-up and will be overseeing the development of the club's young goalkeepers. Crossley told the official Latics website, "I'm very pleased to have extended my contract, and I wouldn't have done so if I didn't want to stay. I had the opportunity to go to Norwich as goalkeeping coach, and they also approached me midway through last season. But I'm very happy at Oldham and I want to keep on playing as long as I can. I'm enjoying my football and I wanted to stay with John Sheridan. Now I'm looking forward to the summer, but we're in training next Tuesday and Wednesday so really the season ends on Thursday. Then I can rest these old bones for a while!" Would you like a unique football gift for one of your friends or even for yourself?
