Lee Sinnott Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 It was quite apparent early in the season that he had talent in abundance. A lovely touch and lots of skill. As the season went on, he started to look like he couldn't be arsed, but there was no doubt in my mind that Sheridan could get him playing well and scoring...

mcfluff1985 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Only a couple of us said he was decent. Most said he was absolute shite. People saying he had an awful touch etc. Think he's proving the point that people need a decent chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philliggi Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 He's proving himself to be useful. Reminds me a lot of Matt Smith in a lot of ways. For me he is the same player as holloway and if we can get a decent "little" to holloways "large" erwin would always be on the bench. I'd take him if he was cheap enough but he probably won't get the game time the wage he will ask for justifies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just not good/interested enough ? I think whatever decision Shez makes will be the right un,as he will see how he is attitude wise in training etc. Im not trying to slate the lad by the way, I'd be content either way. And unlike some cretins behind me today in the North stand I don't abuse my own players The difference is in the way Sheridan has asked him to play. He does not want him tackling back, defending deep but rather to stay up front and play as an attacker. This has obviously worked with Erwin. He has always had good technique now he has a hunger to match. Top player and Sheridan knows it. Edited April 10, 2017 by TheBigDog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you therefore not recognise the improvement the player has made in the last 2 months? Because he looks a far better all round player now than at the start of the season.

laticsmarra Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 For most of the first half of the season he was poor,possibly because he was constantly drifting wide and playing with his back to goal.He also has attitude problems. Sheridan has got him playing in better positions and Holloway helps. Regards signing next season I think that is unlikely. He has an ego and we won't be able to afford him, he will earn more in the Scottish Premier league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that was part of the problem early in the season. He's a big guy who won't go up and win many headers, or get involved in a battle with defenders, and when we weren't winning that clearly didn't sit well with fans who didn't understand those just aren't his strengths. Back then we were creating so few chances for him he just looked lazy and was rarely involved. You almost have to ignore his height really. He is that perfect foil for Holloway in this team and he's really come to the fore for us since Shez arrived.

Lags Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 (edited) We've struggled for goals all season long. Are we happy to go into next season with the same firing squad in Holloway and Erwin? What we need is a Holloway/Erwin combined into one plus another who scores goals IMO. Both Holloway and Erwin have qualities in their own way, but it's not enough for me. Obviously Erwin has done far better of late however I also remember he wasn't up for the battle early doors. That's not to say he can't come good in the future, I just don't think I could take another season struggling to score goals.

Can't see him getting much game time in the championship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's what you saw from Saturday my advice to you would be stop watching football, but in all seriousness Two completely different players who are causing real problems for defences. Just keeping Holloway fit is the real issue. Would love to see them two as two of our striking options next season. Would imagine though Erwin is on far too much money for us.

Scapegoat Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I wonder about Erwin though. Clearly a confidence player that was lacking it completely early on. Now seems to have it and all round game is better. I'd happily give Lee and Tope a go, I like AHH but lack of goals is becoming an issue for me and would like to see another partnership given a go. Maybe a game on the bench will give Holloway a bit of focus - or show me I know nothing about football ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holloway has 5 assists in 15 games paddy joint top with banks but banks played more games. For what Holloway does in holdup play the others don't have in their games would be a massive loss not having him starting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erwin will be on decent money at Leeds but it won't be astronomical. Neither will he be anywhere near their first team or in mega demand at this level. It seems plausible that we'd get him on a similar deal next season, or even on a permanent depending on Leeds' stance. Watching the Oxford at home highlights and plenty of games before Holloway was here, Erwin is also a creator. Is this partnership now better than Main and Holloway? (Were they even that effective when played together?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hometown on here asserting that he had a shit first touch was one of the worst things I have ever seen on here. Classic Latics fan comment.
