dec666 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I'd like to see Philliskirk tried as a striker. He's no number 10 Agree, if he's sticking around it should only be up front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG H Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 To me the few names that be go straight on to the team sheet are Dieng, Wilson Croft, Green and Turner. Turner has to start for me, with what he has showed, Dieng ls fast and puts a shift in, Croft will run all day and fight for every ball and if Green is played right he has enough in his locker to cause any defence problems, but putting him on the wing is a waste of time, his touch skill and vision is way ahead of any other player at the club. The rest for me could be rotated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzlatic Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Turner is a must start for me. Seems to take a decent proportion of chances and is scoring. Could be the goalscorer we've been after if he stays fit and gets the supply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobOAFC Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 No one should be a guaranteed/define starter... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryBosch Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 No one should be a guaranteed/define starter... Would it not be good if a number of players played consistently well enough to make themselves just that? 8 or 9 of the team between 89 and 91 were pretty much guaranteed starters and rightly so......

MAC0AFC Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Philiskirk the forgotten man, I like him but off last seasons form he doesn't deserve a starting spot in that team and he was playing out of position which is unfair to him, I think he gets out in different positions because of his work ethic! Certainly on the bench for me but will be interesting to see if this pushes him on and he improves again like we know he's capable of.

BIG H Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Wow, i couldnt disagree much more, no kelly, jones, forte, mills or winchester in guaranteed starting spots? Everyone to his own, I did say rotate so your first choice may be in my starting line up, mine may not be in yours. DK needs to put what he thinks his is best team out on Saturday and only make subs as and when he thinks it could change the game, or forced on him. Pre season needs to be about finding your best team and get them used to playing with each other, it's not just all about fitness. He has just kept swapping all the time playing nearly two sides per game how can he or we judge from that to be honest, I dont think we can or him.

Agree with that, I think there's a place for him in this team he just needs to prove that he can play in his natural position - it's a shame other managers have moved him about but it's down to him now to get back in! Think it's a case of being patient with him, he'll come good no doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kusunga_Is_God Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 The question on everyone's lips*, where is Jordan Bove?Probably not I just want to know where he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midsblue Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Genuine question but have whats the longest run of games where we've played Philliskirk up front or as part of a front two and what was his goal return? Is he more an attacking midfielder or do you see his strength as a striker and if the latter, where would you rank him in a list of Cassidy, Poleon, Turner, Murphy, Forte and whoever else I've missed?!

deyres42 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Always been a striker for me but he's been missed about so much position wise I'm not sure we will ever see him get to his best form for us. Certain starter against Walsall though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarddog73 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Messed about ? He has hardly been played on the left wing like Rooney was, the main reason he has been moved between midfield and attack is that he doesnt excel in either position, he is a solid pro but to improve the team he may just be used from the bench this season.

I don't remember Rooney playing left wing, did have one of his best games for us on the right vs Sheff Utd IIRC.

How many other solid pros have we got, maybe Kelly Jones Mills and J Wilson? He has moved position when played up front to cover for deficiencies elsewhere within the starting 11, as instructed by the managers both last season and the season before!

Im not sure, but his up front performance at Rochdale away is one of his best in a Latics shirt. Proved that with someone nippy and energetic behind him like Johnson & Forte were that day, what a good striker he can be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
