3 games I have seen him play, believe he genuinely has more about him already than banks does. 

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

Why are you swearing?

 

Not from where I was sat. He was completely disinterested for the first half hour then came into it a little. I'm a fan of his but whichever opinion you have of his performance last night his goalscoring record is beyond unacceptable and he is rarely in the box.

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

Holloway won next to nothing in the air in my opinion. Apart from a really unlucky headed effort first half. He Looked like he was going to hold it up but then fell over looking for a free kick. Ref was having none of it.

 

Davies won his first 3 headers and Holloway didn't gamble.

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

KL by any chance? seen him in my local not long ago, said the same

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

Spent half the game on his arse.

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

Championship side only by name 110% they are coming down this year, aside from comical defending from Ripley and a soft penalty of our own we wouldnt have scored...

 

The skys grey

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

Or would have other players to do that so he wouldn't need to and could concentrate on what he's good at 

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

This is what joe Royle said at Gordys funeral or is it someone else? 

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
