I said he improved after Baxter came on... but he did have a bad game overall. Yes, Missile contributed as much when he prevented a certain goal after the Hunt mistake. Stopping a goal is as good as scoring one. Anyhow, off you pop to vote for your love in the MOM thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope he is not related! !! Not taking anything for granted in this game and will have to be up for a fight. Looking forward to the game and a win. My wife is treating me to a couple of days at the Midland so will have plenty of time to celebrate our win......hopefully. That'll be great, staying over Friday and Saturday night I'm guessing? You'll receive a fine welcome in Morecambe and a walk along the coast either way is highly recommended, I cycle down it daily proudly wearing Latics gear Safe journey over Sir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is my opinion that after Baxter and of course, the incarcerated Byrne that Gardner is the pick of the other midfielders. I see your point with the contribution of Missile but i didn't say that he had a crap game , i said he was a mini Fane , ie much more likely to be breaking up play than playing a creative role.

I agree with you. Gardner is the only other midfielder who at present has the ability in him to produce, but he doesn't do it enough and last night his mistakes far outweighed his contribution. I believe he would benefit massively from Baxter being next to him though and will show much more as a result, all is not lost yet. We can have this league.... its mostly shit.

Maybe he has that Byrne thing going on, feeling the need to do everything himself because he can't trust someone else to do it. Take on too much responsibility and the potential to drop a clanger increases. There was an instance last night when he lost possession on half way which could have proved costly,.maybe there were others i can't recall, me head was hurting trying to follow the cameraman up and down from the sky.

It happened twice in open play. Really dangerous positions that could have easily led to a goal. I'll ignore all of the awful dead balls that also led to breakaways. But you are right, he is doing that Byrne thing of trying to do everything. Its not conducive to a good performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It stands out as being one of the worst i've ever seen .. that said he's played a few times more since and hasn't stood out. MK Dons first game he came on and didn't exactly do much apart from over run the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im writing him off on the grounds that he hasnt had a sniff in our midfield for the last 12 months. The most likely reason being is that he isnt good enough.

Quite right, you can throw him in the pile of dead legs that we've managed to offer contracts too. Fraud of a player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcfluff1985 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I'd like to see Baxter with Gardner and Missile in the middle. Don't know if anyone noticed last night but Baxter received a shocking pass and instead of stripping like Byrne did he applauded the effort and gave a thumbs up. Byrne always gave people like Fane players of they messed a pass up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get him attacking rather than defending like he played for most of his career, here he's been changed detrimentaly IMO into a grafting holding midfielder.

HarryBosch Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 This Fane talk got me wondering if he was our longest serving player. Am I right in saying it's Dummigan if you count his loan spell and don't count the fact Edmundson was on the books without starting in 2015 (at least I don't think he did)?
