Eyre

VETERAN midfielder David Eyres admitted he will need a "turbo-charged zimmer-frame" to keep up with Shaun Wright-Phillips when Oldham take on Manchester City in the FA Cup today.

Iain Dowie's side had dominated much of the game, but looked to be heading for a point until Eyres' free-kick looped over the line.

But veteran forward Eyres popped up with his first League goal of the season to win it for Iain Dowie's men.

The Latics weathered the early storm and Eyres got clear on the left to deliver a threatening cross which, fortunately for Wrexham, eluded the incoming Eyre.

But with just three minutes to go, Delaney allowed a long-range Eyres free-kick to drift into his net.

Oldham were in control and they sealed the points shortly after the interval when Eyres headed down Carlo Corazzin's cross and Wijnhard swept in from close range.

Preston were two up by the 14th minute - Michael Jackson heading home and Kurt Nogan lashing in another, both from Eyres crosses.

In the meantime Eyres could be the key figure among the mayhem.
