Latics star to plough lone furrow

17 August 2009 11:42
Summer signing Abbott scored both goals in Saturday's 2-1 win at Leyton Orient after Penney sent the Latics out in a 4-3-2-1 formation with the former Huddersfield striker spearheading the attack. Penney seems certain to stick with the same formation as his side make a swift return to the capital in search of another three-point haul. Winger Chris Taylor played 90 minutes against Orient without feeling the effects of a recent groin problem but new signings Rob Purdie and Joe Jacobson remain sidelined due to injury. Midfielder Purdie is recovering from a stomach injury and defender Jacobson is currently troubled by a hernia problem.
