Gregan up for Leeds battle
SEAN Gregan insisted Oldham were fired up for the clash with his former club Leeds minutes after this breathless victory.
The Latics have 48 hours to recover from a game won by Chris Taylor's stoppage-time header, before facing the club Gregan played 73 times for.
However, with the TV cameras in town, Gregan insisted there'd be no need for motivation.
He said: "There shouldn't be any team talk to play against Leeds. I doubt whether the manager will bother with one.
"With it being live on Sky the players want to get out there and have a battle with them."
Saturday's victory at the New Den came at the death of a topsy-turvy encounter.
Change
John Sheridan made five changes from last Tuesday's defeat to Bristol Rovers, but Oldham were two up inside 10 minutes thanks to Deane Smalley and Lee Hughes.
It was all change after half-time as Neal Harris' penalty for Neal Eardley's trip on David Martins and Ashley Grimes' stunning effort levelled matters.
However, Taylor's 10th of the season snatched what Gregan admitted was an unlikely win.
He added: "To be fair the ascendancy was with them at 2-2, so you are looking to limit their chances, close the game out and take a point really."
Oldham will wear a bright pink kit for the clash with Leeds in aid of the Victoria Breast Unit at Royal Oldham Hospital.
