RichmondLatic Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Davies and Whitaker on loan ;-) Fair play to Shez though. Doing a great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonesyOAFC Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I follow Chesterfield's results purely because of Shez. An Oldham legend in my eyes. And if Smalley comes back a better player than when he left, even more so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hometownclub Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 i'm not Smalley's biggest fan and it must be remembered that he is scoring goals in a division below us, he wasn't looking like scoring when he was here. Having said that I would take him back in place of Feeney or Reid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that I would take him back in place of Feeney or Reid. A striker – On form? Confident? Scoring goals? Well I never! You have to remember it’s in the division below; in a side who are flying (for the most part)......but even still – a confident, on form Deane Smalley is a decent player at our level who will cause problems for teams. If you list all our strikers; on ability shown to-date and current form – from messers Feeney, Reid, Tounkara & Brooke – on his recent form; Deane Smalley is at the head of that list currently.

opinions4u Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Based on the few seconds a week we see of him on telly, he is taking chances he would always have missed here. That is something that makes him worth having back next season. For the record, the decision to loan him out was the right one imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O'Grady never looked like scoring for us, or many for the clubs he went on loan to.. banged however many in for Dale last season and has got 8 so far this season.. I think the first sentence reference to Boundary Park should be seen as positive for next season ... Doesn't Smalley's contract run out at end of the season..?

Hometownclub Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 O'Grady never looked like scoring for us, or many for the clubs he went on loan to.. banged however many in for Dale last season and has got 8 so far this season.. Whittaker, Davies and Smalley are also scoring goals at a lower level this season. O'Grady scored 10 in 19 appearances at a lower level last season but has 8 in 33 appearances this season at a higher level. There really is a big difference between Leagues 1 & 2 as O'Grady's stats prove. Bringing Smalley back would definately not ensure he would continue his scoring at League 1 level.

There really is a big difference between Leagues 1 & 2 as O'Grady's stats prove. Bringing Smalley back would definately not ensure he would continue his scoring at League 1 level. There's little difference between the divisons in my opinion, illustrated by frequent cup 'upsets' and newly promoted 'surprise packages'. I think a player's individual performance is more down to whether he 'clicks' in a particular set-up rather than simply whether he's performing in the 3rd or 4th of the many serious leagues in the country. It surely couldn't be that cut and dried? O'Grady won't match last seasons impressive 22 goals, however the 12 he's on for this term is acceptable for a secondary striker. Wayne Rooney only has 8 (in 29 appearances), and 2 of those have been in the last 5 days! Goals aside, as an ever-present this season I imagine O'Grady is doing things right. Getting to the point, I'd like to see Smalley back. Infact I'd love to have him back for Saturday.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
