Previous Games

Tom Parsons has three Latics game under his belt, two of those came against Shrewsbury in the same season, 2024/25, two goals to the good with 20 minutes left, in the home fixture we contrived to hand a share of the spoils to the Shrews, a Will Aimson own goal and an 87^th minute equaliser saw victory snatched away, Baba Adeeko, Matt Smith and Dale Taylor all ending up in Tom Parson’s book.

The away day was slightly different, Dale Taylor with the only goal of the game giving us victory and all the points, Will Aimson picked up our solitary yellow in that game.

Boxing Day 2023 was the other occasion that Parson’s ref’d us, our 0:1 home defeat to Derby County, four Latics players found their way into the book that day, Liam Morrison, Baba Adeeko again, Sean Clare and Callum Lang.
