bluehobbit Report post Posted October 9, 2018 Wonder if he will be brought back? Or will we cancel his contract. 10 in 23 isn't a bad return but at a low level, is there much difference between the 2 leagues I wonder. We resigned benteke and don't use him but maybe there is room for another target man type especially if cog gets injured Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

boundaryblue80 Report post Posted October 9, 2018 He’s not been getting much of a game lately. Last scored at the start of June and then only played a full 90 minutes once since the end of June. Not sure why. But Waterfords result massively tailed off too. Would be highly ironic if they had to pay us money if he scored any more or played many more so have benched/dropped him!

Hes not going to be the answer unless he's pining for Andy Rhodes affection. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boundaryblue80 Report post Posted October 10, 2018 (edited) To be fair though, at least he'll come back not thinking he is the "big I am of Ireland" like Patrick McEleney did. Might work a bit harder to make it work. I'd still be happy to give Duffus time. Edited October 10, 2018 by boundaryblue80 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He could do really well or he could be a non-starter. Duffus should be given his chance, like any other player and at least he belongs to Latics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not saying don't give him a chance, just that don't expect him to be the answer to our goal scoring issues. BH said 10 in 23 is bot bad, that was the main reason for my post because yes, but looking deeper it was not so good. If he is struggling in the Irish League, he will with us. Anyway, we sorted out goalscoring problems last night! I'd really hope that if he does come back, that FB &AR are capable of getting him firing on all cylinders. It would like being a new signing.

Never say never, Mr. D42. Like Singe, I hope Bunn and Rhodes manage to get the best out of him. What have they got to lose? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ncookie9 Report post Posted November 6, 2018 Any news on this guy? Thought his loan expired end of October? Definitely seems worth a look over Benteke/COG. Sadly think he might get shipped out the back door. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He went right off the boil Of those18, 2 were unused on the bench, 1 for 3 min sub, 2 on for the last 1/2 hour, and dropped for 4. 1 in his last 7 + 2x1/3 games I hope the break and training without pressure give him a real confidence boost and he comes back like a new signing. My hopes are guarded, not up, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
