Latics and England Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Big year for George next season for me. Last summer we were talking about him as the next big thing but he failed to break into the first 11 in 2016/17. He will be 20 in August so he is no longer a young kid. Pleased to see that we have given him a contract but he has a big task on to force his way ahead of Clarke and Gerrard. I think this just shows how difficult it is to blood youngsters when you are constantly in a relegation battle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philliggi Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Over the coarse of a season yu will need at least 3 strong centre half's. He needs to prove himself when he gets the chance because it will come at some point. Not a chance he will get ahead of gerrard and clarke any other way other than injuries to either one of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opinions4u Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Red cards. Injuries. Playing three at the back. he'll get his chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigDog Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Sheridan does like to play three at the back and as I see it, this would involve three from the following: Clarke, Gerrard, Wilson, Stott, Edmundson. Wing/Full Backs: Dummigan, McGlaughlin, Mantack, Obadeyi Plus a couple of additions Just need a decent keeper behind that lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deyres42 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I thought he'd gone to Sunderland? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryBosch Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Both Stott & Edmundson could come on leaps & bounds getting regular run outs in a defence including Clarke and Gerrard. Either can play in a 3 and either can fill in at fullback too. I'm perfectly happy with them as as first teamers and it's great that we're going into a season only needing to sign a left back to "complete" our defence (assuming Wilson stays)..

NewBlue Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Dummigan's an interesting one. Still only 20 but hasn't seem to get a look-in of late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Stott a left footer or a natural left full back? Obviously I have not seen him live yet. Trying to work out if we need one more left back in next years squad.

Personally, I'd be happy with him at LB but only as a convention LB rather than a wing back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely injured - picked up a right nasty one in the Shrewsbury away game, also known for it's 'I was there for Ngoo's run down the left' moment.

Trying to work out if we need one more left back in next years squad. He started out there against rochdale and tbh, he looked a little lost. Obviously thats not enough to judge him but from what I've seen, he looks much more comfortable in the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whittles left foot Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Stott was found out for the goal in first half but the player never got a kick in second half-thought for a young lad he played well overall and it was a peach of a cross for our goal.

Fruitygoo Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 didn't we revert back to a back 3 in the second half though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlossopLatic Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Surely Clarke and Gerrard won't both last for 46 games without picking up injuries and suspensions certainly not at their age. Yes Peter Clarke has just played every minute of last season and looks after himself very well but time will catch up on him at some point, we all know Gerrard isn't the fittest either. I expect too see Edmondson get his chance for a run of games at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's 4 years younger, with Wilson in the middle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
