NewBlue Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Loved him clattering in to their left side centre-back. Aggression is something Cassidy just doesn't seem to have in his game. Or a first touch... Holloway's performance yesterday was akin to Cassidy's first game at Walsall, I thought. Hopefully he can retain that level.

HarryBosch Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Incoming.... . . . . . . . . . . . . .... did anybody else see a bit of Danny Philliskirk in him albeit less likely to score a goal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeroyboy Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Incoming.... . . .... did anybody else see a bit of Danny Philliskirk in him albeit less likely to score a goal? I certainly didn't notice any similarities, especially Phylly's speciality of standing still while holding a defender off with his arse until someone else nicked the ball off him. Half a game is little early to judge whether he'll be as prolific as Philly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scapegoat Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I'm more than happy seeing Shez bringing in hungry players who have been plying their trade in league 2. They both clearly have something to prove, Shez will have good knowledge having been in the same division for a few years now and surely we've had enough of 19yr old premier league kids, who hide, and past-it strikers like Ameobi, who has never been even close to prolific. Keep it up Shez - Palmer is a joy to watch! Personally no issue with League 2 players. Been convinced for a long time that whilst there is a discernible gap in the abilities of Premier League to Championship, and Championship to League One - I think that League One and League Two are much of a muchness. Many teams that come up do well, and many teams that go down continue to struggle. I'd regionalise the two divisions and get more local derbies.

Flemboy Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 He looks keen and able at Wigan .Looks to be another good signing by Shez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewBlue Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) Should work well with Curtis Main. No way Main should be near to starting with Murphy around. Aside from his half chance he we excellent on Saturday. Showed he is far from just a poacher. Main has been played on the wing each time I've seen him play.

Twisbrogan Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) Thought Murphy's first touch was mainly rotten on Saturday. Did one good turn and run that cane to nothing but looked rusty to me. Edited February 15, 2016 by Twisbrogan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyres_28 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Very harsh on Holloway. He bullied their CBs at times and looked like he has a really nice touch. Murphy, seemingly under instructions, was too far from him during the first half. There is a player there if we use him correctly. If Murph had released the ball earlier first half we'd be having a different conversation now - he still thinks he's playing in league 2 and expects so much time on the ball. I'm guessing Holloway was tiring hence the substitution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamoafc Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Murphy was one of the most embarrassing performances I have ever seen. Clearly you get more time on the ball in league 2 hence his goals. Not got it for me. Shockingly bad he would have been dragged off first before making the Holloway sub.
