UNLUCKY Andrew Davies faces another spell on the sidelines after going off early on his comeback this afternoon.

The defender's hamstring injury was the low point of a City win that has put them within two points of the top six.

Billy Clarke scored both goals in the 2-0 victory over Oldham - their first over the Latics since 1997.

Phil Parkinson was delighted with the response from last week's late frustration against Fleetwood.

But he admitted that losing Davies again was a big blow.

The City boss said: "We won't know the full details until we have proper checks on him but it didn't look good.

"When it goes like that and it is a sudden injury, normally it is bad.

"We will be expecting the worse so anything better than that will be a bonus."

Gary MacKenzie, who had made way for Davies to return, came off the bench and Parkinson said: "I thought Gary was faultless."
