  1. Ivan Toney.

     

    From the Shrews board.....sounds like another Ladapo!

     

    Very frustrating player. Won't be losing any sleep over him leaving!

     

    He will end up somewhere other than his own club. No way will he feature in Newcastles squad , he just isn't good enough. He hasn't done the business for me , not strong enough , poor control and basically quite poor.

     

    His balance in football boots is similar to mine in ice skates.

    Different surfaces but we both spend too much time on our a*se.

  2. This whole Billy Sharp obsession he's developed is grating.

     

    Most sides in this division have got over the fact they can't afford the division's best striker and have got on with it, while our strikers have got worse. It's grating.

     

    There is an excuse for having no striker scoring 25 goals a season, but there isn't one for 12 goals in 23 games.

     

    Why can't we go all out attack? We've got nothing to lose. We're bottom. We lose most games. The only way these players will get confidence is through scoring and we're making it hard for ourselves. Take off the :censored:ing shackles. We've got to start winning games to stay up and we won't playing this way.

     

    I agree we have to start in the faces of the opposition and go for it

  3. Can't quite believe it but when I stopped and thought about this - I actually voted for Ladapo to stay! Just something inside me says there a good goalscorer in there (like I always thought there was with Poleon). Right, I`ll go and eat some more of those special mushrooms someone brought me back from Amsterdam :OASISscarf:

    Probably is but it won't be here. As poleon shows

  4.  

    Genuinely none in my eyes, was tempted for Croft and Dunne but decided against. Need a left footed left back and was going to keep Dunne as back-up but Wilson or Dummigan can cover there if needed and sick of givong Croft the benefit, true he's our best player for 10 mins but thats 1/9th of a game. The rest are really toss and ill pay there train fares home[/quote

     

    Thats more than most of the others give

  5. I was lamenting our season to a fellow football fan (of the Barnsley variety) recently, who pointed out that they were bottom of the league at this point last season and then went on to win this competition and snatch a late play-off spot.

     

    Big leap I know, but success in this competition does seem to have some longer term impact on sides. Also, winning something, even the FLT, is still something that many Oldham fans haven't seen, and even those that have it wasn't a cup at Wembley.

     

    Personally, my opinion on this competition has changed over the years. I used to feel it was a waste of time and beneath us, now its a genuine chance of a good day out and a pot. The new format hasn't helped this year, but still I'd take a final win now.

     

    Big difference Barnsley have better players
