palmer1 Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Im hoping he strats at Blackpool as it would be interesting to see in a form striker with a point to prove in a Latics shirt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzlatic Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Im hoping he strats at Blackpool as it would be interesting to see in a form striker with a point to prove in a Latics shirtAgree. As long as he wants to come here and stay though. If he's got his eye on a move in January back to Crawley and league 2 then not sure he'll be an asset. Especially if the move is already sorted - he'll probably want to avoid injury so could play within himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to make an in form striker like Murphy want to be playing for us if a deal hasn't been agreed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super_blue Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Yes let's start him and build on his current form but it will Only work in a front 2 not up top on his own...he isn't a lone striker or winger and that why he never performed with us previously as he was out of position. With that in mind he will start on the bench I suspect as Dunn won't play 2 up top away from home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1955 Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Don't think Dunn rated him but it seemed crazy at the time to farm him out on loan then get Brandy and Fuller in on trial as potential replacements, also if Fuller was the better option then Brandy must have been absolute :censored:e!! If we keep Fuller and let Murphy go I'll be well pissed off, the guy can't even run and has completely gone!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1955 Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 It still grates that Jabo Ibehre wasn't asked to come back. Especially when we then take Fuller and Brandy on trial!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how many were that upset when his loan actually ended? As most strikers at this level he had the occasional good game, but there were games when he looked out of sorts, only 1 game for us sticks out and that was Sheff utd away, so for me it was 1 good game in how many starts?

sjk2008 Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Murphy is in form. Regardless of his goals being in League Two the difference in quality isn't too big, so for me he has to start at Blackpool. It makes little sense recalling a player who's been sticking them away regularly to then bench him first game. I'd also go 442, but that ain't going to happen.

ddot_m Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 He has a chance to prove himself in league 1. If he can replicate league 2 form he will gain personally whether it be with us or someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven't recalled him - the loan has expired and I fully expect to see him back there in January as that's the earliest they can do a deal Having said that - yes he should start, do I think he will? No Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No If a permanent deal is in the pipeline in Jan, then he probably shouldn't play. If it's a loan, then we should play him, if he scores in the next two games, don't send him back.

NewBlue Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Will he keep his place with Wellens being eligible again? Wouldn't think he'd be worrying about that. Cassidy and Cornell, perhaps, Winchester a dead cert, same goes for Eckersley and J Wilson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1955 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 If we hadn't sent him out on loan and had given him a decent run in the team we might not be in this predicament now. Dunn's going to have to make his mind up about this guy pretty damn quick, we either play him or sell him for a fee. There's no way I would loan him back to Crawley, we need the player or money now for a replacement! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

underdog Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 I like Murphy, Bear in mind we bought him injured and threw him in when we were desperate last season. He's come back from a loan period better too. His postioning his good, he's in the box, he asks for the ball and prepared to back track and help out. We look more balanced yesterday Only downside is that he's a little short...anyone got a rack we could stretch him out on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
