Guest sheridans_world Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Brilliant result today, shame I wasnt around to see it. Hughesy coming to full fitness is something the rest of the league will be looking at. Stattos, when was the last time latics got 9 from 9 in at the start of the season?! I hope we dont get too distracted by the cup competitions this year. While we are obviously FA Cup winning material I think we need to concentrate on getting promoted first! Lastly, word for Crossley, he's done well so far and is proving a lot of people wrong. Three clean sheets (Penalties excluded) is the start of a good run for him. Bring on Colchester?

Xander_OAFC Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Crossely- Had nothing to do, but when called on did what was needed. Eardley- Few dodgy moments but kept their winger under control. Gregan- El Capitano was great, cool and collected on the ball, not one mistake. Hazell- Reuben was the same, had an easy game. Lomax- Played well, why do we need another left back? He is definatley good enough. Liddell- Played well, didn't have much to do, :censored:e corners, they need to be worked on. Whittaker- Ran the show, his goal topped of a sublime performance. Allott- Also ran it, everything went through both CM, no mistake, our engine room is fired up captain! Taylor- Did well again, played more of a backseat role today, passing and moving really, caused thier defence problems. Hughes- Played unbelievably well, didn't stop running (Until he got his hat-trick of course!) I would renew his contract on Monday! Alessandra- Played reasonably well, wasn't quite the same player after the ball smacked him in the chops. Very good performance from all the team, no-one played badly and in the end should have had at least 6 with all those chances in the first half.

Frankly Mr Shankly Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Stattos, when was the last time latics got 9 from 9 in at the start of the season?! Wasn't it 1990/91? Wolves (a) Leicester (h) Portsmouth (h) In fact we won our first 5 games then. And didn't lose until November. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good save, the only time he was called upon. I would say that was a quiet day for Crossely; wouldn't you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigfinLatic Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 i hope shez reads this Highly doubt it has much to do with Shez - sure he would sign him up tomorrow.... Lets hope Simon Corney reads this ..... Get his contract extended NOW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't nothing normally mean nothing and not one thing and as that one thing was a jolly good save then its worth noting: "Crossley - made superb save to keep score at 2-1 which IF had gone in could have spurred Cheltenham on and who knows what could have then happened????"

Very good performance from all the team, no-one played badly and in the end should have had at least 6 with all those chances in the first half. My view which i know might be bollocks Crossely- 7/10 Was kept reasonably busy first half I thought. One very good save at 2-0 and good distribution. Wish he would come off his line for crosses a bit more but that seems to be old school thinking nowadys. Eardley- 6 Did ok faced with a decent winger.Fabulous cross for third goal Gregan- 7 Very good, Very strong. Looked like Makeelele at times 2nd half! Hayles got well pissed off. Thought the ref dealt with him well. Hazell- 6 ok Improving from the Millwall debacle Lomax- 7 Played well, why do we need another left back? He is definatley good enough. AGREE Fabulous left footed cross for 2nd goal Liddell- 6 Gives shape at times and does cover. Wishhe would stay a bit wider some times. Whittaker-8.5 Very good. Half macca half Wellens. Plays well with Allot/Maher. Allott- 7 Did well!As Whittaker Taylor- 8 Pleased with him today got closed down for the first 25 minutes and managed to work out what was going on and sorted it out. Godd second half when the space was there.H Hughes- 9.5 Fabulous perfomance the guy is far too good fro this league Alessandra- 8.5 Links well with Hughes and has come on in leaps and bounds. Could be our best ever youth product Brill prformance. Cheltenham were no mugs and we ran them ragged after the first 30 minutes, KTF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And still would be 2 points clear. Edited August 23, 2008 by Xander_OAFC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
