HarryBosch Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 Although things are going well it does feel a bit like we could really do with a home win to consolidate a solid start to the season and really settle down. Three points would have us right up there too. Shrewsbury have won 1, lost 4 so present the kind of opposition we should be getting back to beating regularly at home. Plenty of competition upfront now with the arrival of Ladapo so goals must surely be just around the corner. Good that Mckay can maybe drop to the bench for a bit before things get too desperate for him and people start to get on his back. He can regroup and come again hopefully. Winchester and Brown may well be gone leaving Jake Cassidy as our longest serving player Unlikely we'll have any more in I'd say. Maybe a winger though? Will McLaughlin or Martin be ready? Ripley Law Clarke Burgess Dunne Flynn Klok Fane Green Erwin Ladapo Maybe Reckord will be in for Dunne which would be harsh as Dunne has been good.
bowl Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 I might be being harsh on Dunne, because Marshall is a very good player but I thought he was poor against Bradford.
opinions4u Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 I might be being harsh on Dunne, because Marshall is a very good player but I thought he was poor against Bradford. Both our full backs were given a tough time on Saturday.
OneSizeFitz Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 Both our full backs were given a tough time on Saturday. Both our full backs are very average footballers...
opinions4u Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 Both our full backs are very average footballers... As is the whole squad. Team spirit matters.
OneSizeFitz Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 As is the whole squad. Team spirit matters. I don't know - a few of them are alright! But yes, much more about the whole than the parts at this level.
Dave_Og Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 t the kind of opposition we should be getting back to beating regularly at home. Impressively long memory
sjk2008 Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 McKay with a goal which should boost his confidence. Ladapo has been impressive. Osei bagged 2 within 5 minutes of coming on. Banks scores a worldie. Maybe it's not a given that Erwin will start...
yarddog73 Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 Erwin will start, he may play him out wider but he will be in the 11, Osei must be close to a start.
BP1960 Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 Erwin will start, he may play him out wider but he will be in the 11, Osei must be close to a start. Flynn disappeared again for long periods, his place must be in danger.
simplythemostimportantkick Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 Flynn disappeared again for long periods, his place must be in danger.After seeing him for the third time I would say your boy burgess should be looking over his shoulder BP. I'd seriously consider edmundson instead. I think it would be more beneficial for us to develop our own youngster next to Clarke I really do
yarddog73 Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 Would Erwin and Mackay out wide with Osei and Lapado through the middle leave us too exposed? I'd be tempted to see how those four clicked as a front four, excusing Burgess his performance tonight the keeper and back four picks itself with Green and Fane infront to protect it would be interesting to see how that four operated in an attacking sense.
mickeylatic Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 Ripley Clarke. Burgess Law Fane Reckord Klok Green Osei Erwin Lapado
OneSizeFitz Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 Reckon Crofty's worth a start in some capacity. Maybe something along the lines of...RipleyWilsonClarkeBurgessDunneCroftFanéGreenErwinMckayLadapo
BP1960 Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 (edited) After seeing him for the third time I would say your boy burgess should be looking over his shoulder BP. I'd seriously consider edmundson instead. I think it would be more beneficial for us to develop our own youngster next to Clarke I really do Burgess will be ok in the long term, but he didnt look at all comfortable tonight without Clarke alongside him and I thought 3 at the back in the first half was a disaster. I would be asking the Latics coach why Burgess isn't using his height on set plays at both ends though. Unfortunately, Edmundson looked lightweight and was turned easily, IMO he won't displace Burgess. Edited August 30, 2016 by BP1960

I'd seriously consider edmundson instead. I think it would be more beneficial for us to develop our own youngster next to Clarke I really do Burgess was our best player at Bradford. Clarke is a steadying influence for him, admittedly. Edmundson was terrible tonight - how can you possibly say he's ready ?

Markspark92 Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 (edited) Maybe Erwin could play in the no 10 role with Ladapo and McKay up top I think Erwin will defiantly start Saturday as he's been excellent so far deserved a rest tonight, Green Fane back in Clarke, Law and Ripley back in Croft to start instead of Klock and I think Flynn will miss out Edited August 30, 2016 by Markspark92
Guest nonaenever Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 Osei must play some part on Saturday - excellent when he came on - scored 2 and won 2 free kicks in dangerous position by using his pace and power - when he was fed the ball, they simply couldn't handle him.
yarddog73 Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 Agree about Osei, add to that his tracking back and general work rate and he is really pushing for a start.
BP1960 Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 After conceding goals I suspect the manager will return to a more solid defensive minded team with not much creativity on show.
JohnnyPimp Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 After conceding goals I suspect the manager will return to a more solid defensive minded team with not much creativity on show. Thank god many weren't there tonight to witness the blip in proceedings!
RobOAFC Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 Maybe Erwin could play in the no 10 role with Ladapo and McKay up top I think Erwin will defiantly start Saturday as he's been excellent so far deserved a rest tonight, Green Fane back in Clarke, Law and Ripley back in Croft to start instead of Klock and I think Flynn will miss out Alternatively, Mckay played the no 10 role in the second half and looked decent there. It's nice to see we have a selection problem upfront due to players playing well rather than picking the least :censored:.
oldhamoafc Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 Ripley Law Clarke Burgess Dunne Fane Green Erwin Flynn Ladapo McKay Croft, osei both pushing for starts! Klok unlucky to miss out. Flynn lucky to be included but think he could be creative against a team like Shrewsbury.
