Maybe he is adapting the tactics to suit the conditions, especially the heat? 

 

Focusing on keeping possession is something most top teams do in the heat. 

They also score the odd goal!

Those highlights are something else. Playing for a 0-0 in a friendly. You love to see it.

May as well set your stall out early Kus,got to defend as there is nobody likely to be troubling the oppo keepers.

So closing in on 2500, was it 3000 in the end last year? 

 

 

Still scrap understandably,not everyone is convinced that signing a few Moroccans will make us competitive.

also taking in to account that some of our fans have multiple personalities, could really be somewhat smaller physical number.

Looks like he means business judging by the beach training, already fitter than any player from last season

I just hope you have called it right!

1 year contract doesn't scream beating them off with a stick to me.

I hope everyone is aware how likely Mills is to become the new Eardley.

After all and sundry bigging him up he will need to be the next Dani Alves to avoid a constant barrage of abuse.

Millington and Marlin still around aren't they?

Didn't they go with Pearl and Dean?

Palmer on loan to Bradford from rotherham.  Good signing that imo.

Palmer and Vaughan vs Maouche and Vera.

You may be right

Nah. He’s not “shite”.  Ridiculous to say he is. 

Vastly overrated then.

Got to be a bit of give and take with the opinions eh

Nepo isn't shite. You're in a minority of a couple of fools with that opinion. 

He is though,him and his pal together are not half the player an ageing Eyres was.

My bad. It's @archiecat who thinks Nepo is shite

Wrong,it's Archiecat that knows Nepo and Branger are shite. Ta

That's been Crewe's philosophy for a few decades. They've been in the Championship more recently than us. 

 

Obviously everyone knows there have been issues with that philosophy. 

Yes, a flat cap on a dressing room peg could potentially strike fear into any young lad.

A true gent, a great professional. If only he'd been treated as such instead of just letting him go with barely a mention.

You need to be sold for £675,000 payable in three instalments and have a sell on clause included in the deal to warrant a glowing commendation on the official site.

George received the works, Clarkey a quick Ta and poor old Hunt watch the door doesn't hit you on the way out.

As the old saying goes " we do things right around here"

Hope Clarke gets fixed up soon, very genuine bloke .

I know what you mean, pity I can't pipe whale music down OWTB. 

 

Oh well, the thread as been stolen now, It won't be the first and certainly not the last.

Someone asked way back in this topic if Barry had been banned or lost his OWTB login details.

Assuming neither to be the case, wouldn't it be better for Barry to post here in person rather than you relaying his offer to speak to people should they request.

Maybe the board would prove too hostile, in which case he just resumes his self imposed exile but i feel that people would adopt a less aggressive stance talking directly rather than through a third party.

I note the points you make and believe that the bloke wants the best for the club,has a desire to help in any way he can etc.

We all make mistakes, do and say things we may later regret, have sometimes pointless arguments but ultimately are all on the same side and the world keeps on turning.

I am sure that everyone on here would welcome Barry back and hopefully create less of a " them and us" mentality.

Why have you taken such a stand to be his advocate? Barely mentioned on here lately. All you've done is stir up long held grievances. 

All a bit weird this,Barry will not be winning any popularity contests either now or in the foreseeable future.

That allied to the fact that he is very much onside with an owner who is trying his hardest to make Corney look like a choirboy, pointless exercise trying to launch an appreciation society.

He was an Entertainer. He died so young.

 

We have had some great wingers in my time following Latics.

Bebbington,  McVitie, Groves, Holden, Adams.

 

I wonder if I will remember Nepomuceno as fondly as I do the above?

 

 

It's not Nepo's fault that he isn't fit to lace the boots of any of the aforementioned.

Just look at the current England squad and try to find anyone with the talent the older players had. Sterling is rated as the biggest talent in English football and he can't kick a ball straight half the time.

Everything was wrong with what the some of the old guys did,half time fag, rat arsed night before the game etc but they could play!

Who currently holds the Rosebowl? If Pep can count the Community Shield as a trophy then we can claim this.

 If we had the Rosebowl it would currently be residing in the pawnbrokers.
