I think Smalley is faster, more skillful and has a better eye for goal than Davies. Davies will never find his form sitting on the bench so send him to County, let them get him back into shape, and see where we stand from there.
For me Lomax has to be dropped, he has been decent defensively but the guy can't pass to save his life. In our current starting 11 he's the most obvious weak link IMO, with this being highlighted by the massive difference a ball-playing and run-making full back like Daniel Jones can have on the way the team plays. Eard's to take Lomax's place tomorrow along with Davis for Ormerod.
ive got a close mate coming on saturday, im going halves on the ticket due to a certain person's employment status!
does the club do a student discount on matchday tickets?
Eardley is been a top player for us. I know he can send some passes flying into the stands but he's a great athlete and has been brought up through the youth team, here's to another 100 Neil!
I can't believe all this is coming from a player who has just signed a contract extension with us. He should be fully focused on giving 100% in the latics shirt.
10. We've got the best atmosphere at Boundary Park we've had for years.
11. Ticket prices havn't gone up.
12. We've just signed the biggest sponsorship deal in the clubs history.
Everyone gets over optimistic at the start of the season, but based on the (what looks like) improvements to the squad we have now I think top 6 is a good target.
Lomax doesn't inspire me with confidence, we have to get a new left back or teams will exploit and punish us in that area.
I say hats off to the Latics management for having better taste than the majority of Latics fans. Im sorry if I upset a few on here but MOD is cringe worthy.
Reeves looked like our own mini-Batistuta when on loan, then as soon as he had a contract he did **** all!
Maybe we could make up our own crap-signings worst XI?
