opinions4u Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 And at Tranmere too. Wanted the ball. Got crosses in. Looked sharper than Croft. I've spent close to three years wondering what he's in and around the squad for. There are signs that it might fall into place for him. I hope so. Even though I'd have binned him years ago!

disjointed Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 He got stuck in as well, as O4U says give him a chance instead of critisising as soon as they walk on the pitch. (See CI) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely worry that some supporters haven't grasped the consequences of choosing to continue with the youth set-up. The vast majority (including me) wanted to keep it but what everyone should realise is that it will mean more reliance on the likes of Millar, Tarky & Winchester. Supporters will either have to choose to be more patient and supportive of them or understand that constantly running them down is fruitless and pointless. Inward transfer and loan activity will be tailing off from hereon in but I don't think people have understood that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many fans expect the finished article straight away, Tarky with a few games under his belt is still learning. Even Beckham had the luxury of playing on loan at Preston before going into the first team. I hope one good thing that comes out of this season is that the new manager will have a remit to work with Tony Kirk to develop our yoof. We as fans need to be patient and supportive of them, not get on their backs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laticacid Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I stick to my post, Kirk millar is not good enough , and certainly not in our present situation , of course I want to see our youngsters make it, and I believe tarky n Winchester are good enough , not Kirk millar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've written him off without commenting on his most recent effort. "I stand by what I said and I'll never give him a chance even when he does quite well". Brilliant.

Wardie Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 The problem is, it is an 'instant gratification' world that we all live in, nobody wants to wait for things to develop any more. Without the proper support from the club and the fans, what chance do the youngsters really have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lalalajpkalala Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I've spent this season thinking he was just making up the numbers. We his number came up yesterday I thought we may as well wave the white flag. I then spent the next 20 minutes repeatedly saying 'well done, Kirk' as he got stuck in, pushed forward and showed a bit of desire. He played for his future. I wish the others realised they were playing for theirs too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbrown23 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Maybe TP should throw a few of the other youngsters in for tuesday, Taylor, Winchester, Mellor. Whilst the others don't care and have no affiliations to Oldham, these boys grew up and progressed under Tony and will have more respect and dedication to work hard for him, if not the club. Maybe if the senior players see what guts and fight and pride in the shirt are they'll pick up too (but I wouldn't count on it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4froale Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Yep fair play to young kirk, for me he would have been one of the first through the door a few weeks back but his cameos against trannies and Bournemouth have made me think again. It was refreshing to see a player come on the pitch and chase every single ball down and not back out of any challenges, maybe the other 10 should of took notice of him.

steveoafc Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I was also in the camp of " why is he still here? "......but at least he's come on and tried to make an impact and yesterday fired over a couple of good crosses. I would love him to prove me wrong. The only reservations I have with being heavily reliant on youth is, if we do go down, would we be physically strong enough to compete? The more successful L2 sides are usually big bruisers who muscle their way out of the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midsblue Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Part of me questions should we bother struggling in this league.... Should we not focus on our youth, deliver a nucleus of hungry players, TP performs a role he enjoys, we bring in someone equally hungry at the helm to take first team matches and start again in League 2 Granted attendances will decline but we then cut our cloth accordingly with no debt. The club simply pays Corney rent on BP until we move or can buy back and they keep the land in return for retaining the debts. We rebuild afresh with a clear focus from the youth players and bring in talented and hungry players from lower leagues who can make the step up to League 2 with the target of building a "team" ethic that could perform at the top end of League 1, possibly Championship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewBlue Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Agree with O4U. Millar was good against Tranmere too but I feel like if we're going to give a youngster a chance it has to be Dan Taylor. Consistently does the job in the reserves and still doesn't get off the bench. I know a lot of people have said that Iwelumo was good yesterday, I'm really not having that and I think he should be replaced by a player with speed. Baxter tried so many through balls and Iwelumo on multiple occasions was too slow to get them. It was painful to watch. On Millar, his body language, like the rest, looks absolutely void of confidence understandably when he gets doubted by everybody at the club. If he wants to stay next season he needs to show something more than he has in these past 2 games but it's a good start for him. Although, I wouldn't start him v Hartlepool.

Guest Scratch2000uk Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Any talent brought through the youth system will be sold, The ones we have aren't good enough according to TP and his predecessor, so we will get more loanees. I just can't see that changing anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stargazer Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Not a fan of Millar one bit , but he did put a couple of quality crosses in . The Croft & Obita who played yesterday were pale shadows of the ones who played against Liverpool & Everton. Imagine Monty will be back in on Tuesday , with the new Smith alongside Wes , with Baxter & Barnard up front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losesome Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Kirk Millar will be playing Blue Square league football next year. Underlines how low the club have reached when we even have a guy of this quality in the squad never mind playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphlatic Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Like to see the youths given a chance they can't show any less passion than what we have been dished up by loanees. not saying swamp the team with youth players but at least use them and give them a decent run on the team and develop them.
