Hazell Wants Automatic Spot

Oldham defender Reuben Hazell wants his side to step up into one of the automatic spots.

Speaking to the Manchester Evening News, the former Villa trainee said: "We are more than good enough to go even higher. We are on a good run and we have some very experienced players who know what it takes to perform at a higher level.

"The one thing we need to do is kill teams off better and once we do that, as I am sure we will, we will be on our way to where we want to go."

The Latics will travel down tonight with midfielder Mark Allott available again after a one match ban, with manager John Sheridan warning that the width of the Edgar Street pitch will cause his side problems: "We will have to defend at times as it is a big pitch down there and they will come right at us. They are a decent side and have drawn games in the past when they should have won.

"Graham Turner is a very experienced manager who has been around the game a long time and he will have his players up for it. We must go there, get hold of the ball, take care of it and cause them problems."
