I’m Danny byrnes’ brother, TP and Coops were the best part of that club as far as far as my parents are concerned.

Cant have helped having players and managers coming and going like a revolving door either. Was probably the star of the youth team when he was in it, could have been the same for the first team if not hampered.

Byrnes on loan to Colwyn Bay

seems like it, don't see why we're not trying the academy players (Byrnes and Knight) over the cm only midfield, seeing as they're both wide players. Still in the market for a few wingers mind you so it could all turn when the team isn't patchwork.

Heard it was a "play them or pay them" system last year. meaning the parent club paid the wage if Oldham kept them fit and helped them develop.

If I remember correctly most of those players were free or minimal cost too. Appears to be a theme here....

I'd have him back but seems the team Robbo is after is one of 7ft tall strongmen, don't think he'd interest him.

From what I've been told Knight was a striker but was moved on the wing in the youth system and Byrnes played as an attacking midfielder but was moved out wide also. Could be that Robbo wanted to see if Knight was still a striker.

Personally thought Byrnes played well despite being out of position. Mantack looked fairly decent but there was a few times where he looked like he was playing to impress the gaffer and not to win the game and he looked like a full back and not a wing back. Would love to see how they both fair in position for a decent length of time.

Pretty sure Mantack is a right back, Stott is a central defender, Byrnes plays either wing or behind the striker and Knight is a midfielder.

Awful lot of faith to place in Glackin, playing him at lone striker.

By my count we have 10, meaning yes but there's no goalkeepers. Good chance the game will end 0-0 though.

Seeing how Edmundson and a few other of the untested players develop next season is one of the few positives we've got to look forward to. Can't imagine they'll develop much unless we get a full 11 though.
