dobxal Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 HIS NAME IS CERTAINLY NOT APT !!! In the 30 years I have been watching latics, he is far and away the worst goalkeeper I have ever seen wear the shirt. He is rooted to the line and goes down to shots like a sack of spuds. I honestly believe a half fit Crossley on one leg would be better than him. If he is our fist choice goalkeeper, god help us. And going of the subject, when gregan retires from football, he should go into sales because how he convince anybody to give him a new contract and the captains armband beats me. It certainly wasnt by footballing means. I believe with those two donkeys at centre half and brill in goals. I think we will be lucky to win a game. We will have to score 6 every week just for a point. HELP !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should not have loaned out Fleming though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The defence is a serious worry and perhaps slightly worse than last season's back line which if memory serves me well conceded 70 goals plus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The defence is a serious worry and perhaps slightly worse than last season's back line which if memory serves me well conceded 70 goals plus Brill? He quite clearly isn't on his pre-season showing. Maybe he needs competion from the bench? But we haven't got any! Edited August 1, 2009 by dazlatic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dobxal Posted August 1, 2009 Author Share Posted August 1, 2009 Don`t get me wrong, the players up front and in midfield I have been impressed with but we have absolutely no competition in centre of defence, and as for gregan being ok, how many times did he lose the ball in midfield and get caught out of position.Then he doesnt have the legs to get back. He is fast becoming a liability Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you've missed an awful lot of games in that time then. At least the guy's vocal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No i havent missed that many been a season ticket holder for most of that time. And Senor, I dont like to be a boo boy never usualyy one to give players stick, but I just can`t find one positive thing to say about brill. He is just bad.

nava Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Already on his back before the season as kicked off. Don't get me wrong he hasn't impressed me so far but its pre season. Players are being chopped and changed every game, subs galore and there is a very serious problem in front of him in the central of defence with a player so out of form in Hazzel and Greegs who is doing ok but will struggle with any pace he is up against. I hope there is another CB brought in before now and saturday but lets not get our knickers in a twist over a friendly. Next week is when performances matter.

ste1987 Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 I'm glad its happenning in pre-season rather than in the actual season, but I'm losing my confidence with him in goal. I would have liked to have seen Fleming play as our No. 1 this season, with Brill as back up. Just certain things about Brill i'm uncomfortable with. He seems to have no presence as such in goal, when attackers are one on one with him he looks completely lost and distribution is disapointing. Hopefully he can get it out of his system now before the season starts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archiecat Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 I certainly hope that Mr Brill proves his doubters wrong! although after watching three very unconvincing displays in the last seven days,i feel that he has some way to go to achieve this.

yarddogs Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 (edited) i would love to know who scouted him,christ i've seen some :censored:e at latics over the years but come on this guy is bobbins,every corner or attack from blackpool they looked like scoring,even andy goram wasn't that bad against cardiff..

I agree. Albeit the way some people were reacting and shouting at him in Main Stand upper was laughable. Its a friendly for god sake. Save it for the season when it counts and let them get it out of their system now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
