Poor mans Simon Charlton i'm afraid...

Funny you say that as I had non Oldham supporting mates round to watch Preston and they were like who's this Mills fella he's garbage, and then as the game progressed he improved dramatically. Yeah I do think Grounds is better at FB than Mills, as I don't think Mills is a full back, he'd be better as a wing back or Left Winger, it's his attacking attributes that everyone is creaming over, he's not done anything special in defence. And that's been confirmed to be just now as I asked a Burnley supporting colleague about Mills without offering any opnion of my own, and he said he's alright but he needs to be played left wing as when he played in the Championship, most clubs exploited his defensive inadequacies. I reckon if we played him Left Wing and Grounds Left Back we'd have a lot of joy down that flank.

Not wanting to drop Mills because he's played bad, but for me we still have the issue of square pegs with Grounds at Centre half, plus I feel Grounds is a better left back than Mills. So by having Lanzoni Tarky Kasunga and Grounds, it seems a more balanced defence.

I'd defo change it after 3 losses. Rachubka Lanzoni Tarkowski Kusunga (Spelling?) Grounds Schmeltz Smith Wesolowski Montano Rooney Macdonald Would win at a canter that team...

Only the one pic appears on my screen, the one in the Sheffield pub, is this the same for everyone else or is it my computer? Laugh Out Loud.

Will make my way to them then, can't imagine it'll be worse than the Rock.

**MIND GAMES ALERT, MIND GAMES** Very clever, put all the pressure on us, put us in a false sense of security, etc. If we do win, its damage limitations as he says to his players, I told you they were good dont worry about it etc, no confidence lost. Don't get pulled in...

I reckon we'll take 2,000 over.

Glad you worked it out, I thought it may be Beckenbauer bu couldn't piece together the rest haha.

Yeah ring ticket office and get them posted to your home address for a quid or go and pick them up when your free.

True, I'm purely basing my opinion of the 3 or 4 sub appearances he has made. Maybe Wes will get the nod, another brace like he scored in the 3-3 would go down well.

Rodgers is very good at looking after the ball, which is why I think i'd give him the nod Monday, Korey Smith can break up play etc. It's a big pitch PNE so the pace of our counter attacks could bring us much joy. Jonson Clarke-Harris to come on and batter them for the last 20. Got a good feeling about this game.

As I suspected, I think we'll have a great deal of success on the road, needs changing for the home fixtures from what i've seen so far...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23944355 Turned out to be a great deal for him.

It was evidently a flat peformance from the lads on Saturday, we never looked like overloading the box, getting on the end of crosses, those that beat the first man. I've come to an early conclusion that the way the team is set up, we will benefit a great deal more from playing away from home, ie PNE, where they will come at us and have a go and we can attack on the break. Out of all the home fixtures, the one we won was against a team who came to have a go, but most teams will sit back like Tranmere did, maybe a change of tactics is in order for the home fixtures? Definitely backing hepingping because he knows why and where we went wrong, hopefully he'll do something about it. 3 away games coming up, a morale boosting win at Shrewsbury will set us up nicely for PNE.

Point taken, but what's sjk been smoking, to suggest Tarkys worth £2,000,000??? £200,000 maybe.

Luca was awesome for the first half dozen games, he then faded out, when he realised 3rd division :censored:e facilites and dopey clogger defenders weren't for him. Let's hope this lad has a bit more about him.

IF IF IF IF IF IF IF IF Although as someone said, our team is better than Yeovil's, man even Walsall and Orient finished 8th and 9th, while the Tramps had a flirt with promotion, they went 5 points clear after beating us at BP, our current team is better than all the above, just need some consistency. Personally, i'd be delighted if every week, I read the Sunday paper and get a little bit excited that when I read the table, we're hovering around 8th and 9th, then one week 5th, and then 7th, you get my drift??? bit of excitement...

Yeah I guess, why? are you not? I don't know much about him, but sounds promising from what i've heard.

Adam Rooney will surely be penalty taker now, he's wanted them since pre-season but Joseph pulled rank.

One minute everyone's slating him, the next he's worth 13 times more than Baxter (if Mike Keegans £150k is to be believed).

Love his Northern/Slovakian accent.

Yeah, Clifford did play well when he came on, but would prefer to see this Italian, I can't give you a reason, i'm just presuming he's good because of his name. It's like Antonio Luna for Villa, would they really have signed him if he was known by his English name of Anthony Moon, sounds more like an Eastenders character.

Had the same thought myself, not like he hasn't been round the squad for 2 weeks, give him a go I say, gotta be better than Clifford out there...

He'll be baxck next week after we beat Tranmere, don't give him the attention he craves...
