I would like to see Davies given a run with Hughes given the partnership they put together last season but can you drop Lewi?!. O'Grady now looks to be finding his feet after the Tranmere showing so a nice problem for Shez to have.

Now with The Wolf back in training will we see him move on maybe a loan? nowhere near the squad of 16 would be 5th choice behind Deano.

Anyone know how that United lad is doing Williams, didn't he come with a big reputation?

Seb Caroles at Hull City

anyone going Davies and O'Grady start upfront, Stephens plays against former club Byrne in at leftback with two un-named trialists also included in starting line up.

Back at Bristol after his loan at Cheltenham worth asking about? Rated him for Tranmere and Cheltenham when they came to BP. Bristol want him to go out on loan again been linked with Carlisle.

Could kepp him out of Tranmere game.. Hughes injury being assesed today

excellent signing but not gonna happen, think we will stick with what we have. Maybe Byran will sign in the next couple of days as cover for lomax.

Just got his family settled in Saddleworth for a fresh start, loving his time at Latics.. To move back to the Midlands of all teams Wolves

I think someone is having you on mate..

Do we need anymore players coming in?? A left winger would be nice but I would be happy to see Lomax keep his place at leftback..

Then again tonights MEN ???? maybe Richie Byrne isn't a free agent or its another target..

Byrne is a free agent after being released by Aberdeen so no loan move maybe a 12 month contract.. We have made an offer to bring a lad in on loan but no names/position mentioned

Can't see anyone arriving unless we sign that Irish trialist Byrne maybe Thommo going but can't see anyone taking JP or Woolfy.

Hmm probably a loan and could well arrive before the weeks out just awaiting a response from the player in question (so its not Byrne)

Demar Phillips? Hopefully left winger Danny Galbraith from Manure

Didn't go to Burnley due to the Col U trip Sat but some Latics fans insist on having a Boo Boy every season last season in the Lookers upper we had Smalley, Davies, Eardley and even Taylor!! Eardley most games before the game kicks off!!

We will always have fans that will Boo our own players. After moving to the Maine Stand this year I have already had Eardley is Crap, Davies isn't fit to wear the shirt and Maher should never play again for the club (after the first game of the season lol)

Could well be didnt Vernon sign a new deal then Wellens arrived in the next week or so as a swap deal?

Nah he would get better wages at either Hudds, Leeds or MK only we he would arrive is part of a Taylor or Davies exchange.

Davies Heff swap deal

Crossley, Gregan, Liddel and Hughes to be rested and replaced by Flemming, Stam, Deano and O'Grady.

OLDHAM boss John Sheridan will break up a winning side tonight when the Latics take on Championship outfit Burnley in the second round of the Carling Cup.

The League One table toppers boast a 100 per cent record but that will not stop Sheridan from making changes.

Goalkeeper Mark Crossley, skipper Sean Gregan, Saturday's hat-trick hero Lee Hughes and veteran midfielder Andy Liddell are all likely to be rested.

And that could leave the way open for new signing Gary Fleming, Dutch defender Stefan Stam, winger Deane Smalley and striker Chris O'Grady to start.

"There will be changes. I have a big squad and it is important to give players games," Sheridan said.

"It will be a good time to rest some and throw one or two others in to give them match action.

"Games are coming thick and fast but, hopefully, whatever team I put out will be good enough."

Revenge

Oldham are out for revenge after losing 3-0 Turf Moor in the same round last season.

But Sheridan insisted: "We will again be the underdogs but we are going there to win.

"I want to go as far as possible in a competition that gives the chance of pulling a Premiership club.

"It will be hard and a good test against a higher division side but we have got off to an excellent start and Burnley have yet to win a game.

"We will certainly be going with plenty of confidence."

Meanwhile, promising left back Paul Black has been loaned to Blue Square Premiership side Barrow.

Sheridan has let the 18-year-old go for a month to the club where younger brother Darren is the joint-manager.

Black made his debut in a 2-1 win at home to Mansfield on Saturday and kept his place in the side for yesterday's trip to York City.

Black's first team opportunities are limited following a spate of new signings at Boundary Park.

He said: "It is good to be involved in first team football and I am enjoying myself."

Yep great signing keep it up Danny

Peter Sweeney Leeds United.. Leeds have listed 10 players including Sweeney would be worth a look at.

Whats holding the Phillips deal up as stoke forum oatcake seem to thinks its the 100k loan fee for the season..

Agree Liddell will start with either Taylor or Phillips at lb should he sign other wide left. I think Maher and Mark will be in the middle with Danny on the bench. O'Grady and Davies up top Eardley rb Gregan and Rueben in the middle.

Hopefully sorted out in next 24 hours... Taken from MEN

Sheridan used the game to check out left-back John Hills who has been released by home-town Blackpool.

The 30-year-old, who has also been at Everton and Sheffield Wednesday and has more than 300 career appearances, was given a 45-minute run-out.

But Sheridan will not be following up his initial interest.

He does, however, hope to complete the season-long loan signing of Stoke City winger Demar Phillips in the next 24 hours.

Sheridan revealed: "He wants to come, I want him and I am hoping to sort something out by tomorrow."

If Phillips does arrive and Shez singing the praises of Liddell will we see Taylor at leftback for Millwall??

Have we seen Taylor right, Phillips left, Ogrady and Davies through the middle in pre-season yet? On paper that is a very exciting attacking line.

Anyone get the people?? Lashers reporting Taylor set to sign 300K!!!

Get him sold 3million more like 750k tops!!!

Can Phillips still play at Bradford as a trial then sort out the deal next week ?
