probably not - but to me morgan always looks to have a nasty streak

I'm sure he looks across first, and he doesn't need to jump or anything so there is no need for his arms to come flailing out - other than keeping opposition players at bay, which is what he did!

i'd give morgan some stick as well - that elbow smash to hulme' face should have seen him banned for a while... I think the same abuse happens at every football club. It's all part of the game!

I've had to go through commentry instead of console...

bit disappointed for lewis myself, don't think he's done much wrong all season, yet if he goes a couple of games without a goal - he's back on the bench.......BUT i do think byefield could be a decent signing, so i'm not too bothered!

Arber and Branston both played plenty of games when fully fit.....you could make a judgement that they weren't good enough. Thompson played for forrest in league above i believe, and tranmere fans thought he was a decent player. For me, you can't make a judgement on the fella untill he's had a chance fully fit. Something he's been unable to have since he signed.

I don't think we've ever seen him fully fit....looking at some of the horrific defending latley, i'd certainly give the lad a chance once he has some match sharpness. If he struggles to play well for us once he's sharp, the decision can be made to get rid....i'm sure notts county would take him off of our hands.

did i see cywka name on the wigan subs tonight v arsenal?

Who was the fella we signed on loan and then he fell down a pothole sending him straight back to physio? Was it andy gray?

For me - lomax has to play at left back....i can't remember ever feeling that he let the side down. He's been dropped when in all fairness, there was no need to drop him. This has happened to Lomax on a number of occasions and to be honest - i feel a little sorry for him. It's one of Shez' decisions that i disagree with... The same thing happened early in the season with lewis. He was playing well with Hughes, the team WAS scoring goals and the only reason that Lewis didn't score was a lot of bad luck. He, like Kelivin, was dropped for O'grady and then Davies without really having reason to do so. I don't dislike Jones, but as a left back i don't rate him at all. If he's going to play anywhere for us i'd prefer him on the left. Shez did start a game with him there and Taylor on the right but that lasted 10 minutes (albeit down to injury) - since then, it hasn't been tried again. Why? Did he see enough in those 10 minutes? Somebody mentioned that by dropping Lids, we'd lose crossing ability. I agree that taylor struggles from the left with his crossing. For me, his best crosses come from his left foot when he swings his foot at it. Once he's cut back onto his right foot, he tends to have more time (which doesnt alweays help) and he has a almost dead ball. If he was charging down the right - i think his right footed crosses...at pace...would be excellent. He'd also have that extra option of cutting back onto his left after a couple of years experiance. Russel Slade constantly told his defender that Taylor always cut inside which is the case where he is. On the right - he could go either way. I'm a big fan of Liddell - always have been - but i feel that now he can't gain that yard, he struggles to get any crosses of quality in. If you go back through the season - i would imagine eardley has put in as many crosses from the right as Liddell. Most of them after lay offs from AL becasue he no longer as the pace to pass his man. Just my two cents

1 or 2 a season? I cant remember scoring anything from a corner since maybe trotman early last season.....i am a bit forgetful though!

D.B. ? Me?! Does Shez not realise i'm out with a cruciate injury?

I think we have to get smalley and wolfenden out on loan....surley someone would take them...at l of east untill anuary with a busy set of fixtures coming up - maybe we should see if Barrow want any of them....the way i see it is if Hughes and Ormerod are starting, then davies and lewis must start in the reserves, so any others wont get a game - we dont have regular reserve games anyway! On the Davies front, i never made my mind up with him last season - i didn't dislike like, i didn't think he was a great player. When he performed his antics at rochdale, i actually realised how stupid he is. Yes, he's working hard now to make up for that now but when he gets the ball, his control is poor and he has to work hard just to get the ball down. When we have possetion and he's off the ball, he doesn't seem to know where to go. Hughes and Ormerod instinctivly know and run into positions without thinking about it. That aspect cant be to do with confidence....you either know where to go, or you dont. In response to Lewis, i think that he would get more than 10 a season with a good run. So far, he's been unlucky a number of times by either snatching at good oportunities, or being unlucky by having a couple blocked on the line from close range. I think he believes in his own ability and with a goal or two, he'll look an even better player and he'll score....i think (not 100%) is that he scored quite a lot of goals at reserve/youth level.

may try the same type of thing on the left as saturday?? GK - Crossley LB - Lomax CB - Hazell CB - Gregan RB - Eardley LM - Jones CM - Whittaker CM - Allott RM - Taylor CF - Ormerod CF - Hughes SUBS Flemming Maher Liddell Allesendra Davies / Any other defender!

We've had a few different strike partnerships this season so far...davies and hughes has been the choice of late, and now omerod has arrived to stake his place. So its a simple question - whats our best strike partnership? For me - Hughes and Allessandra, although i'd like to see lewis knock a couple in. Davies today worked hard enough but at time his close control is woeful. I've also noticed that when hughes is about to win a header, or is looking for a pass, davies doesnt seem to know where to go. Omerod looked ok today, but i think he'll be on the bench for at least first few games.

Whittiker did play well, allowed allot to do his job too. Can't see how we can play maher and allot. No forward driving force. Whittiker attacked well and worked back Have to say all 3 subs made the difference for me Stam for hazell Gk swap Wud b my other changes for tues

How can someone be ok, and the next fella be good yet still both get 6's.....i thought hazell was outstanding for large parts of today, reliably backed up by stammy.. Crossley - 7 Eardley - Much better second half - 7 Hazell - 8 Stam - 7 Lomax - 6.5 Smalley - 7 Macdonald - 8 Allot - 8 Taylor - 8 Allesendra - 7 Constantine - 7

width on both sides

Am neither a happy clapper nor a doom and gloom person....but there is nothing but negatives from tonight. Shocking passionless performance. Shez in - but players need a rocket up their jacksies

I'd be making it so the refs have as much command and respect as in rugby. Not my favorite game that but you have to admire that rule... Captains can only talk to the ref - and even then it's mostly when the referee requests the chat.

Bugger forgot about taylor GK - Crossley RB - Eardley CB - hazell CB - Stam LB - Lomax RM - Macdonald CM - Allott CM - Jarrett LM - Livermore CF - Smalley CF - Allesendra

GK - Crossley RB - Eardley CB - hazell CB - Stam LB - Lomax CM - Jarrett CM - Allott CM - Livermore RW - Taylor LW - Smalley CF - Allesendra Davies should be forcd to sit on the bench - we played well without him Macdonalds just unlucky i'm afraid

Yeah i'm seeing people say wolfendens had his chance - i gfail to agree. Wasn't Wolves away his first start? I'd like to see how many times he's been on the field with more than 10 minutes left. It's hard enough to get into a game in that time never mind score goals regularly. I agree that Allesendra needs a chance too but if eitehr was to go out on loan - Lewis would be the one
