Mellon relishing a Boundary Park return for Latics with visit of Tamworth

Oldham Athletic are set to welcome Tamworth to Boundary Park on Saturday 26th November for a National League North fixture.

The clash will be Mellon's first match in charge of Latics on home soil.

Latics boss David Unsworth has been sacked by the club after just seven months in charge, with the club languishing in 16th position in the National League.

Mellon, who has previously managed Tranmere Rovers, Dundee United and Salford City, has been tasked with turning things around at Boundary Park.

The 49-year-old will be looking to get off to a winning start when he takes charge of his first game against Tamworth.

Latics have won just three of their 16 league games this season and are in desperate need of a victory.

Mellon will be hoping that his new side can put in a good performance and give the fans something to cheer about.

The match against Tamworth will be a tough test for Mellon's side, but it is one that they will be confident of winning.

Tamworth are currently 12th in the National League North, but they have lost their last two games.

Mellon will be hoping that his side can take advantage of Tamworth's poor form and secure a much-needed victory.

The match will be a good opportunity for Mellon to assess his squad and see what areas need to be strengthened in the January transfer window.

Latics will be hoping to get their season back on track with a win against Tamworth.
