NewBlue Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Not even to mention Poleon, who's attracting interest from Championship clubs and was our best player at the tail end of last season, or Philliskirk, who's been a regular in the side for a couple of seasons now. Or Green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAC0AFC Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 (edited) ...... you want him to start? i want him to come on with half hour/40 mins left and tear tired legs apart, personally. Until he's fit enough to play the full 80/90 and then we can start him. Edited August 10, 2015 by MAC0AFC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlossopLatic Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 (edited) It's nice to be even entertaining the thought of leaving one or two of our better players out rather than picking players because they are the least :censored:. In fact we have 2 players for every position we could actually put 2 11's out. Edited August 10, 2015 by GlossopLatic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaticsPete Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 And great to see so many of our own coming through the youth system and doing so well! Four of the squad - Coleman, Philliskirk, Edmondson, Winchester .. So not too bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singe Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 It's funny they say that because our two subs would have been their best players. I rate Walsall, they have some good players, Sawyers, Henry and Bradshaw all looked very able, but our team as individuals are miles better than theirs. It started to tell that our midfield was another level to theirs after about 15 minutes, then we brought on David Dunn and Johnny Forte... In fairness, our two subs are probably our two best players!

OAFCM35 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Tuohy & Bove will play no part this season. Tuohy is too small and Bove has been loaned out to Ashton United FTFY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmer1 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) Kiss of death for Bove that IMO On the edge of the first team last season now at Ashton, too much of a drop If he can get a league 2 club then he wont progress for us. Cant think of any that have gone on loan to that level to make it as a league 1 player for us? Edited August 11, 2015 by palmer1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to agree with this, he was loaned out to Conf North last season and is now going a level below. 1st year pro's shouldn't even be playing at the Evo-Stik level.

Tenuous..... but Connor Brown was loaned to Eastwood Town and Hinckley United as a teenager by Sheff United..... and it can be argued he has made the grade in League One!?!?

ChaddySmoker Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Not really but, even that were true, he's in the team to carry the ball, create, score & generally entertain - let less talented players work hard.

Dale Stephens came to the Latics from Bury after a loan spell at Droylsden, also in the NPL..both are with Championship clubs now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were they loaned out at a higher level prior to going to Barrow & Droylsden? I must admit I've only seen a bit of Bove pre-season so it's hard to judge as is the case with the 1st years with the exception of Edmundson. He and Truelove had very good pre-seasons - should they be loaned out to teams at Ashtons level to aid their development? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I think maybe Bovey just needs to go and score some goals to get him rolling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

palmer1 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I'm not convinced how much of that was for footballing reasons. He may have given them an excuse but nobody can seriously tell me he would have made their starting 11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmer1 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 In all cases that have been mentioned of a player going on loan down several divisions how many had made appearances in the first team squad first. It can be part of their development but this is a step backwards for someone who has made first team appearances in the last 2 seasons. Surely he should have gone only as low as league 2 or a Tranmere maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckshawlatic Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Bove will be released in summer and join the ranks of Brooke, Belezika etc - £50 to playershare if I'm wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlossopLatic Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Taking most people a while to process this. Good to see another on board. The thing is we seem to have the numbers but not the overall quality to get people really excited. In midfield we have not just depth but quality upfront we have 8 strikers if you include Jacobs and Bove. Of those I would only really trust forte and possibly Cassidy to get double figures if we sacrificed 2 of them or even 3 for 1 absolute top drawer striker who we could bank on getting 20 I think people would sit up and take notice. We have an adequate strength defence but not one of the quality of Hill Hall and Armstrong. In midfield we are as strong as we have been for along time, if we were as strong upfront and at the back as we were in the middle of the park I would say we would be gunning for a top 6 place as we are not I would say top 10 is as high as we will get the cynic in me says 16th though.
