Im not a Rowe tub thumper but I think we looked more dangerous when he came on. His work before the second goal was sensational. It was a boring nothing happening part of the game when his tenacity won us that corner out of absolutely nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
League one forever Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 31 minutes ago, Behind Closed Doors said: MacAleny Dearnley, Grant , Blackwood Dunn are being routinely selected before him by professional coaches. They offer pace, mobility and defensive and work rate qualities he does not, .and they are all currently scoring more or the same as him He is a brilliant striker of a ball and has good vision but he limits the way we can play. Tonight’s system suited him....we had no interest in a high press and were happy to sit deep with two banks and you can then relieve him ( and Blackwood) of some tracking responsibilties ..... I suspect that’s because his work rate isn’t deemed good enough. But then he’s never been that player. There’s loads of examples of ‘lazy’ players who win you games. You even allude to that yourself with his strike and vision, there is undoubtedly a player there. His presence this season has won us points, even if he hasn’t scored or shone with his press. I suppose in the end it’s how you want to play him. Ask him to press as part of team, and he can look poor. Give him a license to pick pockets of space and find players and I think he’s great at this level.

astottie Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Not sure if it has been mentioned but someone worked out that kick off manoeuvre . It was terrific and we should have scored.

Watch the video - he gave Comley and Delaney no rest at all and Crellin had to rush most of his kicks out. I don't see him doing less pressing than Dearnley, either.

I suppose we should be happy with victory of any kind. Maybe I’m being a tad negative but I would occasionally like to see some dominant football from a Latics team when they are playing at home!!

Monty Burns Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Wait, so people now admit to wanting us to lose? All those knobeads who used to preach down to us from ivoryville 'Don't be so stupid no Latics fan would actually ever want us to lose..' when anybody dared to suggest we had fans who actively want us to lose? Not that anybody will ever admit ever saying it, like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see him doing less pressing than Dearnley, either. Does he do it consistently? Or for 90 mins. There is no doubt he drifts in and out of games. I don’t mind that though- he wasn’t bought in as a high press striker. Or if he was- the scouting was shit. To me he is a number 10, playing in little pockets and being a bit maurading. He’s a player for us- but you’ve got to take him for what he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Errr.. I'll take the three points every week, please. Pointless having the ball if you do fuck all with it! I think we're a new team, manager and owner away from worrying about how we're play the beautiful game. Lets just get the results now, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
