RoytonBlueLad Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Fleming makes great saves no denying that, he likes chopping down opposition players down too in the box and give away loads of penalties. Which is something we could have worked on. After all look at the two Charlie's he had playing in front of him. Communication is hardly a strong point of the pair.

ste1987 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I think Byfield can be good IF FIT, something he clearly wasn't the last time he was here. However for him to come in, I'd hedge a bet O'Grady or Allessandra will have to leave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PointonsTache Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Id sign him just because he is porking Jamelia, surely that could work in our favour re PR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

razza699 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Struggled against a decent Boro defence , as did Abbot Byfield did nothing which Lewi and COG couldnt do. Spend the wages on a defender please Penney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaticsLee Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 dont sign this lad, he is rubbish from what i have seen of him, even last season he was gash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaticsLee Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 yeah i did. How many has he scored though ? if he was a defender fair enough but he is a striker ! should be scoring goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoytonBlueLad Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 We've plenty of strikers who don't score enough goals as it is. Abbott outshone Byfield tonight I thought. Put himself about and started to stretch himself a lot more than previous friendlies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaticsLee Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 what im saying is he is rubbish, and is far down the line of strikers i would have in my starting line up. To be honest in MY OPINION i think Parker s**ts on daz. id rather penny get a decnt centre half instead of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaticsLee Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 fair enough, some people might see it different to what i saw of him. i just dont think he would have regular football at latics so why waste wages on him when e could use them for a decent centre half ?

yarddogs Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 but come on we all know the problem last year was midfield and creating chances. its all opinions but midfield the key to a decent performance, Furman sounded ok.our problems this year will come from our centre half's and goalkeeper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nava Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Name one striker who formed a decent partnership with Hughes? Byfield got a lot of stick last season but when he was in the team we were UNDEFEATED and Hughes scored a fair few mainly down to the movement of byfield dragging defenders out wide. Not being funny Lee you say Parker s***s all over Byfield but Parker has only scored 2 goals in 2 years, now if its down to just scoring then i can't see where your coming from. I thought he did well tonight by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaticsLee Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 how old is byfield ? sure if we gave him low wages and told him he would be a back up sriker fair enough but id still start COG or lewi in front of him. also can we recall fleming ? brill reminds me a little of jan budtz after tonight lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nava Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Hughes got 6 in 8 games with Byfield 4 wins 4 draws. So although he wasn't making any headlines we were doing pretty well with him. I wouldn't mind him coming in as he puts miles more effort in than Lewi does and reads the game a lot better than O'Grady does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wozz_oafc Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I dont think Lewis or COG are in the same bracket as Byfield, look at their respective careers. Lewis and COG havent had ones yet and are looking like they probably wont while Byfield has. I dont think Byfield was that bad last time and I am sure he could have a lot to offer. It wasnt long ago he was doing well in the Championship at Bristol. I think we are sometimes too quick to judge unfit loan strikers at Latics. Remember Adeboela he's done alright for himself since being labelled the worst striker ever a few years ago. I say give Byfield a chance, it might not work, but he has at least proven he can do it, which some of our strikers have yet to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say give Byfield a chance, it might not work, but he has at least proven he can do it, which some of our strikers have yet to do. did very well tonight. Get him PROPERLY fit and with our decent midfield him and Abbott would do ok, he wont have just taylor to run with him this season, we have legs and not wagging fingers and lumbering centre mid's (maher, allott) Abbott did very well, really nice touches and the interplay for taylors' goal was superb and a great finish. Parkers' as well, what a beauty!! Problems for me this year are CB (Hazell) and possibly the GK position although perpared to give Brill benefit of the doubt with it being pre season. All the new players looked decent, Furman superb. Had to laugh at to guys coming out of the ground 'we still need a playmaker' er hello did you not see Furman play tonight then lads??!! Oh and Lee as for 'i'd pick COG and Lewi over Byfield any day' get real mate. Lewi is too weak and doesnt work hard enough, COG has the build but the ability of a chocolate fire guard. If they arent up to the business they will be shipped on by DP, no room for sentiment, he will be us a proper squad given time, no room for the nearly men with DP around. I expect to see Hazell, COG Lewi, Lee and Whitaker shipped on in the near future. All in all though looked very pleasing, not sure where we will finish but what i do know is that the team will be organised and give 100% effort which DP demands, thats ok by me.

JohnnyPimp Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 If Darren Byfield plays the same against Blackpool on Saturday as he did tonight, Dave Penney will offer him a contract. He looked an awful lot fitter than last season and more importantly, he looked better than our back-up strikers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lochheads Bald Head Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Byfield did OK last night and with matches under his belt feel he would be a good signing. DP was yelling at COG all the time to "work harder". Think that if he doesn't then he will be on his way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razza699 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I just think Byfield isnt going to do more than what Lewi could , surely we could use his wage on a good CB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leezyverpunk Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I agree......perhaps Penney will be able to get the best out of him. When he was here last the club was fading fast and Shez didn't know his arse from his elbow!!!! Yeah right!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razza699 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Rubes...gone down hill since signing contract, remember article on how happy he was felt at home, tea ladies, friendly etc. BUT hes put on his pipe and slippers massive threat to his position when we bring in another CH or the young lads settle. I thought Rubes did really well last night ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
