I'm sorry, but I just don't see what everybody sees in kelly. Sideways passing, never shoots or makes runs forward, barely even breaks up play. Every time I've sen him he's been the worst player on the pitch. Feel free to disagree, I'm just saying what I'm seeing

Let's see:

 

- we don't want unproven kids from Premier youth teams

- we don't want past-it journeymen with nothing left

- we don't want young players with 100 games under the belt

 

Who exactly do we want? Only players in their mid-20s with 50+ games in League One or higher who are happy to play for peanuts in front of the 23rd placed club with the 19th lowest attendance in the division?

 

Phrase about beggars and choosers comes to mind...

To be honest I'm more dissappointed about the fact is another one month loan. At the end of the day the lad has racked up more than 100 appearances already, and was a regular in their side last year so I'm willing to give him a chance.

Can we actually sign a player though? Like, a player who will be ours and want to play for us? Can't see who's going to come....

I am a bit underwhelmed but let's see the lad play first

Signs on a youth loan until 27th Feb from Burton Albion

I've said this on here before, but as a 24 year old supporter I just don't see the point in going. I've seen absolutely sod all success whilst I've been supporting this club which I love to my bare bones (for some insane reason)

I'm not interested in climbing the leagues or setting the cups on fire, I just want to see 11 players who will put their all in for the shirt. The only one I see doing that is Liam Kelly but there's only so much sideways passing can do. The greatest professional I've ever seen play for this club was Paul Warne. :censored: me that bloke ran his goddamn socks off every second of every game. Why? Because he :censored:ing cared.

This current group of players aren't even fit to pull on our shirt if that sorry display yesterday was all they could muster against, let's be fair, a terrible crewe side.

My point being is this: I know of 4 people personally that have :censored:ed latics off and started supporting city, and whilst I find this abhorrent and treacherous, can you really blame them? This club Is in my blood and I wouldn't even consider switching my allegiances, but I'm so disinterested in the club after this shambolic season that I just don't give a :censored: anymore. That was my last game for a long time I think. I work 45 hours a week in a Wetherspoons for minimum wage, £20 is a chunk of my wage for me when all my bill come out.

This club is dying a death and in my opinion, things will only start getting better with a new board/set of owners. How that's going to happen I don't know, and I just don't care.

Finding it very difficult to keep the faith

I'm 24 so all I've ever seen is :censored:. At least some of the older fans got to see a bit of the glory years. My old faves are David Eyre, John Sheridan, Michael Clegg, Clint Hill and Fitz Hall. They were the players I watched as a younger kid.

I've never seen your Holdens, Ritchie and Barretts play. I think to say I still go nearly every Saturday (not with a season ticket aswell mind) is a goddamn miracle Mr Dunn. The closest I've come to seing success is getting beat by QPR in the play off semi finals, in a year which is still say now thay if Clint Hill wouldn't have broken his leg we'd have gone up automatically that year

Glad I didn't bother - 1 nil down already, sounds terrible on latics player. Burton albion = the latest smaller club to bypass latics in terms of talent and soon to be stature

If I were Dieng id just look elsewhere. Easily good enough to be in the first team, we are taking the piss out of him

STILL need a proper centre half

Dieng still sitting on the bench, but at least there's no Connor brown

Its even more complicated with 3. The left and right sided one constantly get dragged out of position leaving the other isolated.

Not if the wing backs do their jobs

Wish people would stop suggesting 3 at the back is the answer.

 

We're already :censored:e and unorganized with 2 centre backs.

Only Mills could play the wing back role well (don't say Croft just because he's better at tracking back than going forward - that doesn't mean you're a good defender).

Even worse, by then suggesting Fulton & Winiesta as your wide midfielders infront of the back 3, you're committing suicide really.

....but we've been :censored: with 2 centre backs.

Cornell

Dieng

Wilson

O'connell

Croft

Fulton

Kelly

Jones

Mills

Poleon

Fuller

Mills and croft to act as wing backs, Jones breaking away from the middle three when on the ball towards the strikers in the number 10 role, 5-3-2 without the the ball

From another viewpoint - Higdon can't play on Saturday. Would you rather Philliskirk, Stancevicius or Fuller start the game in his place?

Fuller hands down

Got to be 352 for me

Cornell

Burn

Wilson

Dieng

Yates

Jones

kelly

Fulton

Winchester

Poleon

Higdon

It's the only formation that allows us to play our best players in the correct positions.

To be honest I do fear relegation if what we had on offer today is literally ALL we can offer. The most hurtful thing about the match is that scunthorpe clearly wanted it more. More determination and fight. That's not what we should be getting for our buck. Especially at home for Christ's sake.

Even after we went 2-1 up I knew we'd have to score again to win.

Can anybody remember us winning ANY headers all game?

I actually though lafferty was on of the better ones. Him and kelly were alright, burn was ok except for that last goal. Wilson infuriated me he just doesn't look arse

And as for that last goal, can't remember the last time I was that embarrassed to be watching latics

1st game I've been to all season because I've work commitments. What an absolute shower of :censored: that was. Philliskirk, poleon,higdon, Jones, croft all terrible. And how Connor brown carries on stealing a living as a footballer is beyond me. Kelvin Lomax was better an he was terrible.

Can't see myself paying another 20 quid to watch that again any time soon. No fight, no determination, no passion.

Literally could not give two flying :censored:s about next season now. 15th to 16th or a relegation battle, for the, about 14 of the 17 seasons ive been going to latics regularly. After this appointment, that wont change now.

Been quiet on this topic but if this kelly appointment is made, it will sap any remaining excitement I had for next season. Dont know if ill bother going after this, unbelievably unambitious appointment

Glad I didnt bother
