Struggling Oldham denied Nottingham Forest the chance to go second in League One with a battling display that earned them a 0-0 draw.

And Oldham, who did the double over Forest last season, could point to a number of opportunities which could have seen them register another victory over Colin Calderwood's side.

Colin Calderwood (pictured) witnessed his side struggle in the first half and although they improved in the second, particularly after the introduction of summer signing Arron Davies, the visitors more than deserved their point.

Gary McDonald went close in either half for Oldham, volleying just past the post in the first five minutes and then side-footing a second-half shot straight at Forest keeper Paul Smith.

Chris Cohen had two of Forest's best chances in the second half but he shot wide from a cross by Davies and then he and Kris Commons both miskicked after more good work by Davies.

Right at the death Junior Agogo might have snatched it for Forest but his left-foot shot flew just wide of the far post.
