Dons opener for new Latics boss Cook

Paul Cook’s men are also on the road on the final day, when they will journey over the Pennies to face Doncaster.

It’s a mixed Christmas offering for Latics, with a home game on Boxing Day against Shrewsbury being tempered by a long New Year’s Day trek down to Northampton.

They travel down to Oxford on Saturday, December 23, although they are at home to Charlton on Saturday, December 30.

There are also a few hidden gems on the fixture list, with Charlton (September 12) and Gillingham (October 17) away on a Tuesday night, and Portsmouth away on Easter Monday (April 2).
