  1. We tried doing that with Mellor. We ended up getting nothing and now he’s “playing” in America... Bring a few into the first XI every season, sell a few, keep a few
  2. This is why I’ve never understood Latics not playing their youths more. If we gave Edmundson, Hamer, Mantack, Stott all 10+ games at this level, and they had steady games throughout... all of a sudden it promotes an interest. All of the above with 10/15 games under their belt in League One would be of interest even without being spectacular, to teams above and we could command a fee. Even Dave Mellor nearly went for 300k to Fulham, it just makes perfect business sense to give them that time at least.
  3. I saw Chesterfield play earlier in the season against Notts County... they won quite comfortably against a side in the top 3 at the time. They played heilliant football theoughout the game and looked a class above league 2... genuinely shocked they’ve been relegated, thought they’d have enough about them to stay up at minimum.
  4. Or the best midfield 4 that’s played for us together... in recent years and in past years gone by
  5. Tom Hamers throw-ins causing chaos. Doyle, without scoring... he’s involved in every single one of those chances. Class movement and fast-simple passes. Love him
  6. Some very interesting games down at the bottom in League 1 this weekend... I’m looking at them and I couldn’t possibly tell you what results I’d want from them. So so many teams play each other.
  7. So you’ve essentially put Fane in the midfield and that’s it... post above. No way he drops Gardner. For all his faults, I like Gardner but he ain’t gonna get us out of this league he’s your typical inconsistent league one midfielder. He’ll graft his bollocks off and more often than not have a 7/10 performance but he gets in very valuable positions only to misplace a pass or put it out of play or shoot 20 yards wide of goal, so frustrating but he’s a certain to start in our squad. Gardner Fane Pringle as central midfield 3, Pringle and Gardner able to cover right and left flanks. Byrne in front with no defensive duties past the halfway line but needs to be used to press the opposition defence because he’s good at that getting in their faces.
  8. Personally agree with I think SJK’s team... 4-3-1-2 Placide Hunt Edmundson Gerrard Moimbe Gardner Fane Pringle (midfield 3) Byrne (solely there to create and press further up the pitch) Davies and Doyle (doing what they did so well at the start of their partnership)
  9. He set up his own company and I presume while it’s still early days for his business he was picking up work at Oldham to keep things ticking over.
  10. Moimbe has easily been our best player (due to Doyle being injured) ever since he came in. Steady as can be. Ive not seen him have a bad game, just a bad 30 minutes that’s all.
  11. I’d prefer his attitude to Danny Philliskirks... “I’ll play anywhere gaffer, put me right back, put me right mid, put me striker and I’m happy” because that got us sweet fa. He came on today fired up and fuming he had been dropped, changed the game. Although, it’s a travesty that it’s took Wellens 6 weeks to change to a 4-2-3-1 formation when we’ve been so lacklustre in the previous shape for so long. Been said previously, but playing Byrne right midfield is absolutely criminal and it’s took him weeks to change shape, signs of bad managing but I’m willing to give him chance he’s definitely still learning Much needed win and I think we’ll be just OK now. Happy days.
  12. He was extremely good in the youths, and stood out massively doing pretty much what he went on to do for us in the first team.. gliding out of the back 4 so comfortably with the ball and pretty dominant in the air. One thing I noticed very early on into playing in the first XI was how he was ordering everyone about and we needed that.
  13. One thing that did used to piss me off about him, was his obsession with running through the middle, losing control of the ball and ending up conceding a free kick from a lunge... but other than that I used to bloody love watching him play, and came home from a youth game saying we had a decent polish lad at the back who’s worth keeping an eye on. Turns out he’s English, turned out he was from Moston... similar I suppose.
  14. ? can we pull up all compliments from day one aswell?
  15. Is there a Brian Wilson fan club yet? What a hero. Glad he quite clearly heard his chant from my group of lads after the game, showing his appreciation to it. Probably one of the most ‘proffesional’ footballers I’ve watched in my time. Albeit I’m only 21.. Very very very rarely puts a foot wrong. I digress, we were awful Saturday and we’ve got some massively cunty fans but on the whole we know how to make an atmosphere... Rochdale will be cracking and might have something riding on it now with their upturn in form.
  16. So true. Sad state of affairs isn’t it when you put it like that!
  17. You’re a good’en. I want to see my £10 go further next year (I’ll probably predict every week and end up bottom?)
  18. How am I not bottom, I haven’t predicted in about 2 months - great effort!
  19. Oh 100%... but his repetitive stance on here is just as boring as the numbers boys banging on.
  20. Reece Wabara.. for anyone interested. https://mycomeup.com/ex-footballer-reece-wabara-became-force-fashion-mycomeup-2/
  21. The atmosphere.. not the following.
  22. Plymouth have fuck all else to do. They may aswell travel away... closest club/competition for their support is 50 miles away. Within 50 miles of us we have City, United, Liverpool, Everton, Leeds, Huddersfield and the list goes on and on and on. I’m up for Bury on Sat; but I’m sick of seeing numbers. Just wanna enjoy the day for what it hopefully will be... oh and it’s my 21st so they best pull their finger out and gat the win!!!
  23. ‘Best fans in the country’ was the weirdest statement I’ve heard to date. Stick to just turning up and putting a decent atmosphere on rather than speaking it up all week. Think Blackburn got a few of the younger ones giddy.
