Have to agree, he has natural ability on the ball fawns, it's great to watch, but obviously his positional sense still needs working on

Wouldn't play wing backs, want McLaughlin on the wing as far up as possible

Honestly last nights performance was overall very good, for a guy rarely getting into the box, he did well to hit the post, have a glancing header just wide, and a 1 v 1 in the box, three chances a game like that and he will score goals

Fucking hell you need to watch the game again pal, he won everything in the air from where I was sat

Sorry who is KL ? Lee ? No it wasn't him, but he's good friends with duffus, so duffus also knew what to expect

I had a mate who was managed by Sheridan in the last few years, no matter what happened, what the score was, he would come in at half time and go bloody mental, that's just the way he is I think, some react some don't, I suspect Davies knew what he was getting into

I'm sorry but if you didn't see the qualities that Holloway provided yestrday, I'm Adair you never will, which is fine it's all about opinions

Yeah we didn't win, yeah there are improvements needed, but last night was a good performance, and was entertaining to watch, and Holloway did his job fantastically, and dominated those centre backs, Shame he could not find the goal

Apart from the Holloway 1 v 1, Holloway hit the post, Holloway glancing header from a corner, Peter Clarke's header at the end which was clear cut chance, then soon after the cross that almost went it. Yeah mate never looked like scoring, stop talking shite

Entertaining match, improved performance, 3 points on Saturday needed for confidence

Yeah very true, though I think you would be hard pressed to find a top team in this division who has such a limited central midfielder such as fane currently is. But I agree, he does run, press and win the ball back really well

Fane will run for days, win the ball and press, but he's not going to pick it up and ping it across field, he's not going to dictate play, all he does is run and win the ball. This is a good quality and I actually really like him, but In all honesty, a top side in this division would have a fane but who can also pass, shoot and dictate, and that is the difference. He can be coached to do this, but this is currently where he is at and once he is coached and gathers experience he could play at a higher level, but personally I question his ability on the ball, he just doesn't seem to have any at all. With two others who can pass and dictate he would be a lot better, with banks and green, maybe not so good.

Can see a first year promotion for myself, can't wait

Latics 2 - 1 oxford (1-0ht) Davies 5,261

Jay Sherdian on the bench

Connor brown

He sees himself more as a striker who can do a job on the wing, can also play behind the striker

If any funds needed don't hesitate to ask, more than happy to contribute, and I'm sure many other would be to

Was at the game yesterday, and would just like to make a comment on how personally I thought Mason Fawns was the best player on the pitch, including the second half, he was fantastic being played out of position in centre midfield, he not only kept us ticking over with his passing but also tracked back and made some important tackles, great to see and could really be pushing the likes of Banks and Gardner for a starting spot! I know it was only against Curzon Ashton, but he has very good technique and is excellent on the ball. Also set up our best chance in the first half, the cross just happened to land to the number 12 trialist, who ironically was the height of a 12 year old.

Do we still need a left winger or will that be down to Tope and Hunt(LWB), if so that would leave us with just 2 keepers and a maybe extra cm to get ? with no loans used so far

A friend of mine plays for Everton and has played near enough all ages with duffus, he's a very good player, and we have done well to get him. Look in much better shape this year on the striker front

It is someone else, very good source

I would say this week, not to sure on the hold up, I would like to say the source but unable to at this time, though its a pretty certain source, if the deal falls through I will hold my hands up and say how i got the information, but as far as i'm aware the deal is done

Duffus will be an Oldham player very soon
