Less than a week into pre season, it’s just a fitness exercise.

Neither of the goals were in stoppage time, so there's something.

Is it asking too much for the official site or official twitter feed to tell us which players we fielded in each half etc.

I could be completely wrong but it seems pretty obvious to me that they're keeping something under wraps. Had barely any pre-season pictures, no videos and no info about the friendly yesterday. Who knows what it could be though, could be keeping some trialists secret or players missing that would cause a meltdown or maybe even as simple as them working hard on new tactics that Sabri wants to keep secret.

Maybe we have several new players called A Trialist? ?

[Forest are Class]

Latics played against a first-half Forest side that featured the likes of Michael Dawson, Sammy Ameobi, Lewis Grabban, Matty Cash, Brice Samba along with recent additions Lyle Taylor and Tyler Blackett.

According to the Latics’ official report, Taylor and Blackett featured for Forest in the first half as part of a strong line-up which also included in-demand right-back Matty Cash, goalkeeper Brice Samba, striker Lewis Graban, defender Michael Dawson and winger Sammy Ameobi.

After the break, a new side was fielded, featuring defenders Joe Worrall and Carl Jenkinson, as well as Albert Adomah, who spent the second half of last term on loan at Cardiff City.

Among others getting game time during the fixture were Nuno Da Costa, Joao Carvalho, Ryan Yates, Tobias Figueiredo, Yohan Benalouane and Tendayi Darikwa, along with younger players such as Alex Mighten and Tyrese Fornah.

Oldham not played for 5 months but had a few friendlies before.

Our first competitive match is 2 weeks away!
