The number 20 at Stalybridge was Saul Milovanovich, who looked promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevo Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Where is Saul milovanavic from Tuesday defensive midfielder , best passer on the pitch only going to improve with games and move up the leagues . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure McGahey is mobile enough to play n a 3 but perhaps Adams would cover him. The 2 could be Keillor-Dunn and Dearnley with Bamboozler from the bench.

Guy Branston Pickle Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Anyone who takes friendlies at face value is, with all due respect, an idiot. They're for getting back to match fitness and trialing... trialists. And that's it. All the proper work is done in training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GKing521 Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 I thought the performance was actually incredibly worrying. I don’t see how Burnley would get any benefit playing their first team against us. They would put 10 past us. I’m never optimistic with Oldham but 22nd would be an achievement this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tall and gangly in appearance cross between Lineghan and Edmondson. Didn't see enough to say if he was any good or not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaddy14 Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Seems from posted comments that a few on here don’t really listen to KC post match comments on what he believes friendlies are for? Results don’t really matter for either side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
League one forever Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 If you win friendlies- it’s promising, it look like he’s building a squad, they gelling together quite nicely, I like the system he’s playing. If you lose friendlies- it’s only practice, why would anyone take notice of a friendly result, they’re trial games- for trialists! (My favourite from eyrsey) It’s 47 degress!

I've seen Latics go unbeaten through pre season and finish 18th. You cant take anything from friendlies, they're for getting back to match sharpness.

IF that's how they line up in a league match. It's pretty obvious Pidge and McGahey won't work in a three but that's the system our manager prefers. Clarke would seem the logical choice with one of them and Hart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Burns Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Are we genuinely thinking that Pidge is going to get in the starting XI??? Oh fuck, dreading the season starting if that's the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh fuck, dreading the season starting if that's the case. From jan onwards he was in the top 3 of performances. Dont know why he's getting so much hate. I think people on here have an opinion and stick by it no matter what. I was critical of him early season but he massively improved and if it wasn't for him we would have conceded double what we did concede. By far one of the better performers and that's in a defence basically on his own. Imagine what he will be like with half decent defenders with him. He will be his usual solid self and not have to try and clean up others mistakes. Id have him in all day. He's a bully and I love watching him kick strikers off the field. Dont make em like that anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont make em like that anymore l don't think he does it enuf. Struts around silently doing his ten men walk whilst Skippering us to the worst defence in the country. l was hoping four new defenders would see the end of him. Came in in January and was OK then last year was good from Jan onwards, so maybe leave him out until january? Seems to be how he works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
