Oldham Athletic Carabao Cup fixtures and results 2026/27

Oldham's 1989/90 League Cup run combined emphatic home victories with a final decided by a single goal. The same season also brought an FA Cup semi-final, so the competition label matters when looking back. Alongside the current Latics fixtures above, this guide separates the Wembley final from the earlier rounds and the other cup campaign.

Forest's single goal settled the Wembley final

Oldham faced Nottingham Forest in the League Cup final on 29 April 1990 and lost 1–0. Nigel Jemson scored the only goal. Joe Royle managed Oldham, while Brian Clough was in charge of Forest.

The match record identifies Wembley as the venue and lists the teams, managers and scorer together. Those details make it straightforward to find the correct final when browsing older reports or footage: Oldham against Forest in April 1990, rather than a league meeting between the clubs.

For Latics supporters, the final result completes the campaign but does not describe the route which preceded it. A single-goal defeat at Wembley followed several much higher-scoring matches. Keeping the final and the earlier rounds visible together gives a more complete account of why this season occupies such a prominent place in Oldham's cup history.

Seven against Scarborough and six against West Ham

Oldham beat Leeds 4–2 on aggregate, then won 7–0 at home to Scarborough and 3–1 at home to Arsenal. Southampton required a replay: a 2–2 away draw was followed by a 2–0 home victory to secure the semi-final place.

Latics then beat West Ham 6–0 in the first semi-final leg. A 3–0 defeat in the return still left Oldham 6–3 ahead on aggregate, taking them to the final. The large first-leg advantage explains why a clear away defeat did not end the run.

Manchester United were Oldham's semi-final opponents in the FA Cup that season, not the League Cup. Those drawn and replayed semi-finals belong to a separate route. In the League Cup, the closing sequence was Southampton, West Ham and Nottingham Forest, with the Southampton replay and West Ham's two legs serving different purposes.
