C.O.JONES Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 After last nights debacle and yet again having no threat from centre midfield, (Delia Smith on the sauce springs to mind), my team for Saturday would be 4-4-2; Norman, Clarke, Hogan, Sheron, Francis-Angol. Couto, Vaughan, Gardner, Tollitt. Fondop, Porter. Subs; Leutwiler, Mcgahey, Cooper, Luamba. Burgess. Tea boy; Hope. Making pies in Baxendale, Stobbs.

Wardie Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Southend haven't had the best of starts and Latics obviously need to capitalise on this by taking the game to them, which will require a much improved performance across the whole team, including management. Unfortunately, I can only see more of the same as Sheridan seems to be stuck in a rut when it comes to to team selections and tactics. Lose this, and it's now looking a possibility, then I think the groundswell for a manager change will start making itself apparent to the new owners.

Unfortunately if we couldn't take the game to two pub teams at home in front of large by our standards crowds then there's not a hope in hells chance we will be going to Roots Hall for anything other than a 0-0 draw. Major issue I have is on last night Clarke doesn't deserve to play but who replaces him? Same for Stobbs there is no obvious replacement and the recruitment now is looking piss poor other than a couple who have done okay. Some of last years retained players have regressed under Shez which is a major worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BP1960 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 As with Torquay I'm expecting a good result. Sometimes players express themselves better away from home, in our case away from the heat of BP. (Sorry for the ironic weather pun). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Littlemoor Lad Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 I'm going off recent times and wrexham haven't been a league club since 2010 Only on the map now, thanks to a pair of celebrity yanks and the money they've been throwing around, they'd best be going up this season or it could all go tits up.

the_mighty_bosh Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 My team would be: Norman Clarke McGahey Hogan Francis-Angol Sheron Gardner Hope Burgess Tollitt Fondop I think the alternative to Clarke is Windass, which I'm not convinced would be an upgrade yet. Sheron to add a bit of steel in midfield, so bringing in McGahey alongside Hogan would work. I think this formation would allow Vaughan would fit into starting XI at some point (I wouldn't put him in the centre of a midfield 2) but I think Burgess would be really good in that role at present. Finally, Fondop would be the best striker we currently have to play as the lone forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlossopLatic Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Has Sheron played centre mid in pre season I thought we signed him as that rather than a CB. Also does Shez like McGahey I'm not sure he wants him here tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deyres42 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 First look at Sheron on Tuesday but can't say he struck me as a midfielder playing out of position... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
