Don’t know the contact situation of these but id be going for, the bald headed Halifax midfielder, the Solihull midfielder with the long throw (if they don’t go up) and then go all out for that Haughton at fylde. Genuinely think he’s the best player in the league.
All midfielders yes - but the most important position on the park, we’ve somehow ended up with a midfield consisting

of players who wouldn’t get a game at chadderton. 
 

Got to keep Norwood at all costs and make him captain. 
 

Then all we need is a couple of steady full backs. 

First of all, hope everyone is well, haven’t been on here for a while, normally use twitter for latics stuff. 
 

Anyway, genuine question in line with the release of the Chesterfield tickets, as their fans seem to have fabricated a rivalry with us. Who are actually our rivals?

I could probably name every other clubs arch rivals in the country except my own. Literally watched us for 30 years and genuinely don’t know what the answer is. For me, it’d be either Tranmere or Scunthorpe. 
What’s the general consensus?

Should have a good season in non league next year 

Still miles better than any striker I’ve seen at our level. Chesterfield will piss that league next year.

Oh Danny Rowe. Nice goal (crap goalkeeping).

Similar to the one for us this season, although not as good.

Lovely striker of the ball though that lad. 

Dino takes Jonny Smith to burton!

Looks like Désiré’s got a new club in the lower leagues of french football.

Not half as much @Clubfootkilkenny will be. He's still got him as his avatar.

 

 

 That’ll be getting changed! Never rated him anyway

Danny Gardner has a contract at Salford for the coming season, but played in a friendly for Swindon last night...

Good player Gardner for me. Hope McCann doesn’t go there.

The pic is a bit tongue in cheak. I’ll admit that. I do like him though and deployed correctly,  I think he’d be far too good for this league.  Can’t see him staying past January if he doesn’t get back in mind. 

Merry Christmas. When you say you haven’t seen much of him, are you staying away full stop or just doing aways?

Have a look who brought Maouche up first. 

If I was on a windup, I’d think of something better than that. Relax and stop letting one player wind you up.

He brought him up. I think everyone secretly loves him

its weird how how football fans seem to criticise their most talented player. Pogba at United, ozil at Arsenal, MM at latics. 

And no, I’m not putting him in their bracket. Just observing. 

Lets not not turn this into another Maouche thread. I can change the pic if it causes offence.

haha our best player by a country mile!

I said that a lot of them were awful, not all 11.

obviously he’s playing a decent level, he’s done well but I don’t rate the guy.

theres an argument for surridge too as he’s playing at the same level. He wasn’t my cup of tea either though 

Daniel Johnson has just got a call up. Top player but forgot all about him.

I guess you don't really know much about football then do you.

Why because I don’t rate Lewis fucking grabban?

yes my opinion of Kieron lee is tartnished by seeing him out in Stalybridge every other week but fair play to the lad, he’s a decent person and worked hard to get where’s hes got to.  I don’t think many of the above are spectacular, mind, with the exception of tarky and Stephens. I like eardley a lot too, he’s just made some poor moves and been hampered by injury.

I thought grabban was awful. Still do. 

George overrated too, he’ll end up in league one, most likely at posh. 

not a massive fan of lee either but some Wednesday fans class him as there best signing in recent years. It’s all about opinions, hence the post.

I was considering a new thread for this but this is fine. After a long night shift, I think about the team we could have had we not sold anywone...so current players. This is the best i can come up with, feel free to play sporting director and make changes;

                        Grant

Eardley tarkowski George Sheehan 

 Lee    Stephens Palmer   Harkins

           Smith Grabban

* note: a lot of these were awful for latics and I don’t rate the majority, I’ve just gone off the level of football they’re playing. 

Have i I missed anyone?

Edit: Korey smith! Overatted

Edit Edit: Bertrand. Good, very good.

It’s got a very non league feel about the place at the moment. On and off the pitch.

Hamer put a shift in but with no quality. Same for mills who was also direct but with no end product, keeper did ok. Apart from that everyone else was awful. Maouche, miss, Sefil and Vera attrotious...the new left back even worse. 

No hot food in the Joe Royle, just crisp chocolate and cans of carlsberg being served from a table.

The club is on its arse!!!

Can I use my season ticket for the football league trophy? Not been to one of these games since Wrexham (I think) beat us in the area final (or semi final) years ago.

Also, I sit in the Joe Royle so presume it will allows me to re-locate for wednesdays game? 

Gone from a bottom 7 team to a top 7 team in the space of 24 hours.

Get a goal scorer in and a half decent left back and we’ll piss this league!

Mouche divides opinions but if we’d have let him go and packed the squad full of work man like league two midfielders, come October , people would of been complaining we don’t have creativity or anyone with the ability to pick a pass. 

He may be paid more than some would like but we wouldn’t be able to attract an upgrade, certainly not a British one.

im not too concerned about the captaincy...although I don’t get people suggesting someone who they’ve seen play twice (at most) given the armband.

Dan Gardner played 20 games last season. He scored 2 and assisted 6 times.

 

Maouche played 34, returning 4 and 3.

 

Baxter's numbers were 29, 4 and 2.

 

How the fk Maouche got a new contract - especially given what he was reportedly earning - on his performance at his job and the other two didn't, is a disgrace. It stinks.

 

For context, here are some other comparisons;

 

Nepo, 42, 6 and 10.

Branger, 25, 5 and 8.

Lang, 42, 13 and 2.

O'Grady, 38, 7 and 3.

 

Look at the numbers.... there's no way he should've been offered a new contract. There has to be ulterior motives.

He’s always fit...can’t guarantee the other two would be fit this season.

plus, it makes sense to offer your best player a new contract. 

Nice.  I forgot about one size. Clint hill would be up there for me also but he impressed me more for tranmere before we signed him than when he actually turned out for us.

Apologies if I haven’t built up enough rep on here yet but following the bulls*** rumour about Danny mayor last week which briefly got me up for the new season, it got me thinking; whose the best 3 players you’ve seen in a latics shirt in the last 25 years? I’ll start the ball rolling with mine.

1) Wellens 

2) Gregan

3) Kilkenny

obviously they’ll be a debate about positions but we all know a good player when we see one.
