Trialist (Benteke?) scores, decent finish.

Keeper should have saved the goal but has made some decent saves.

Missilou playing better in CM than he did on the wing.

Branger in and out of game but looked decent - quite direct.

Maouche is playing off O'Grady - needs to be played further back to see best of him.

O'Grady is a downgrade on Davies & Holloway, end his trial asap.

People ask that we sign non league players like Peterborough, sign a non league player and people complain...

What level did Eyres play at before he made his league debut at 25?

It's good for them but he could be about to preside over a 3rd relegation. 

Have they ever been relegated when Hill was manager?

Just watched the interview with the new owner on facebook, couldn't hear properly but sounded like he said Doyle has signed until end of season and 5/6 more to come in.

Had my driving test on Saturday, examiner was the brother of Craig Fleming - apparently works as a coach at Southampton now.

What's your point? He's no slower or quicker than he's ever been as a Latics player.....

 

But he hasn't got visible abs so he's fat, lazy & unfit...

Our defensive regard last year was significantly better before Gerrard joined. I am not a fan 

When you go more attacking you tend to concede a few more...

So we're back to the diamond again. Hope Fawns does well, but why have we put McLaughlin behind the strikers again?!

Not necessarily. Could be a 3-5-2 if Dummigan is played as a right sided centre back - might help in making sure we are not caught out by pacey attackers as much?

No way is this young lad going be our number one! His distribution was really poor from what I watched in that first half, in the modern game seems to be quite an important attribute to managers! Not that we will be playing from the back so much, but I also feel good news could be coming! If not - Good Luck Mr Wilson 

 

So excited for tommorrow! 

 

Missed first 10 minutes on Tuesday and didn't pay much attention but thought his distribution was 50/50 - I can remember one pass played perfectly into someone on our left wing for us to break?

I'd like us to get Joel Periria from Utd was on loan at Dale last season for a short time but looked the part a full season as no 1 will be ideal for his development 

It was season before he was on loan there & it looks like he's 3rd choice at United now. No chance!

Either there's one more to be announced before the game, or we can take Shez's statements with a pinch of salt in future.

If we do sign Ripley I wouldn't be surprised if we did what we did when Baxter signed his extension and announce it just before kick off in the stadium.

Been a while since we had a black keepers kit.

He will be 2nd choice I suspect.

Sheridan did this quite often during his 1st spell here. I think that's the reason we ended up with Windass in net at Leicester...

Did it a few times last season didn't he?

Now number 14!

I'm confident that come 5pm on Saturday we will either be certain of promotion or relegation!

They could do with changing the netting back to white aswell!
