It's really hard to warm to this guy, the fitness into pre-season sounded like a step in the right direction, but get him on a football field he's got the look of a man going through the motions. The performance against Blackpool was stellar compared to the one against Salford. The international games on the back of this send out a strong statement that we are back to square one.
They didn't wear squad numbers today - that's why Smith was 10 - I don't think the keepers had any numbers today, Connor definitely didn't. Was quite impressed with him today, didn't have much to do but seemed like a good talker and organiser
I think I read that he'd be signed initially to play in the Bayern Munich second/development team which has just been relegated to the 4th tier of German league, so probably quite a bit!
i'd like to think we are seriously interested in keeping Smalley and that the money is a back-up. Let's face it, if Smalley wasn't one of ours and had scored 12 in 28 for a team who got promoted from league 2 we'd be saying why would he sign for Oldham?? Or we couldn't afford him. The facts are we often drive these players out. I'd rather have the player than any money
I just don't think Brill is as bad as people make out, or Amos was as good as people seem to think
Amos made loads of mistakes that Brill would have been crucified for
I thought the same against Carlisle, not seen him play since but his body language worried me. Head down and hiding, thought he'd be bossing a young back line but I think he's being shown up for the bully is, now he's struggling he's nothing to say
