  1. I'd agree with playing lomax on tuesday and I also see you're point about thompson..i dont think hes suddenly become a bad player but he needs to sort himself out quickly and find some form..again I'd agree with giving him a rest and playing trotman. was also surprised with the stick eardley in particular was getting, esp as i had him down as one of our better performers yesterday. as for taylor..well i personally wouldnt be picking him at the minute as I dont think hes doing anything like enough to earn his place..however, that still doesnt mean getting on the players backs is gonna get us anywhere
  2. No need for the tin hats as far as I'm concerned lads. I seem to be the only person at the minute who's voted for Taylor..I think we'd miss his pace but at the minute pace is all he offers us. My only real concern is how narrow that would leave us
  3. Just got in from the game and I've got to say I enjoyed tonight. I've not seen a game for a fair while and was looking forward to seeing our new boys in action. A couple of quick comments before i get to bed.. Firstly, the defence..to put it simply they need sorting out and quickly. Thompson had an absolute mare, Gregan didn't fill me with confidence (although to be fair he won every header he went for).full backs did alright..thought lomax in particular looked our strongest defender. As for Crossley..on that performance all he has over Pogs is his kicking. hopefully he, gregan and thompson will improve once they know each other a bit better Apart from that everything else was very positive. Taylor didn't have the best game and still seems intent on bombing down the wing whilst leaving the ball behind but he worked hard and hopefully the form will come. I thought Allott and Kalala looked good in the centre..battled for everything with Allott having the better game. Liddell put a couple of decent balls in and his set pieces seem much improved on last year. Ricketts held on to everything that hit him and, although he still looks rusty, looks like he could be a decent buy once his fitness returns. Davies was the best player on the pitch IMO, looks quick, strong with a good shot on him and a clinical 1-on-1 finish for the goal. As for the subs..I thought Wolfy looked decent and if he had been a bit greedier maybe could have had a goal. Stam looked a little uncomfortable at left back for me but still did a solid enough job. Allessandra looked nippy and Smalley didnt look too shabby either, although neither are ready for a run of games just yet for me. Finally, the fans..great support again for a meaningless,thursday night friendly which we had already been told would be nothing more than a fitness exercise. Seemed to be decent numbers dotted about and a fair amount of noise from a group which, if I'm not mistaken, was made up of OWTB regulars. All in all a good nights work
  4. Like many others on here I'm too young to have seen him play, but the fact I and others know so much about the guy just from hearsay and legend says a lot about the man. RIP Bert
  5. I know Bonner was bad but did he really need mentioning twice???
  6. Holland-Groningen as i spent a year with a dutch girl as a flatmate who was a fan Spain-Atletico Madrid as I spent a year living in Madrid and after going to a couple of Real games decided to try out Atletico..much more like going to a proper game Scotland-I take surprisingly little interest considering i live up here but i usually enjoy watching Hibs
  7. i reckon its in greece but im strugglin for a club as i cant find pics of any greek stadiums to compare!!
  8. just to agree with everyone else..thank christ he's gone. The club is on a tight enough budget as it is without paying some actor/model to ponce about trying to feign interest in a career as a pro athlete
  9. Loving both the last 2 efforts ackey esp the blue and white
  10. aye happy birthday!! (although with having your 21st birthday on st paddies day which also happens to be a saturday night i'm guessing youre probably not sat in front of your computer)
  11. Its got to be Wembley..and as a bonus i managed to book the that weekend off work today so wherever it is i'll be there if Latics are
  12. haha brilliant..hes looking for double figures now
  13. aye was just looking at that meself although i fancy us to finish above forest..the good news it takes us 6 points clear of the trannies in 7th and neither they or swansea are ripping up any trees at the minute and donny are the team behind those 2
  14. you can say that again stevie..this is the game I've been most nervous about recently and it looks to be our best performance (definitely best result as it stands)..nice to see we dont have to rely on ports for goals as well
  15. Get in!! This is just what we needed today..(oh and afternoon all)
  16. Thursday April 11th, 2058 at the ripe old age of 74..with my diet and exercise regime very unlikely!!
  17. balls could have done without that..just found out my plans for gettin to carlisle may be to cock...god im depressed
  18. cheers ackey may give that a go (with security measures to prevent any unfortunate frostbite :dizzy2: )
  19. cheers for the updates stevie. i may have the same problem as leeslover in a sec as my laptops been regularly overheating and shutting itself off recently..fingers crossed
  20. yep id agree with that Ackey. from what i hear of the weather down there it sounds like it might be a case of brawn rather than finesse so we need to impose ourselves early, especially if they have a few fans there..need to keep them quiet and get our lot going. only worry is it sounds like it could be the type of game that results in injuries and suspensions
  21. yep its on t'fishul site now...great news that our first choice 1st XI are all good to start
  22. "defenders weren't very good on the ball"..who could he possibly mean?
