Hemel latic Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 1 hour ago, BP1960 said: Not so with this lad IMO. I saw him take a battering from 4 6ft + defenders who targetted him and came back for more, even giving some a taste of their own medicine. Kidderminster won't be able to handle him I'm convinced of that. Rarely seen such ability and desire in a young player. MM needs the courage to start him I'd say on the right wing. Given your endorsement I'm really excited to see him when he gets his chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deckyd Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Looking at remaining fixtures we have, I would think that we could end up with around 75 points or so (being conservative edging on the side of Latics being Latics). in the last 10 years think 75 has been good enough for top 7 finish, which means nothing with this table I suppose! Last night wasn't great by any means but as long as we keep plugging away and picking up points, winning ugly when needed, likelihood is at least a crack at play offs.

That would represent a slight drop in form under Mellon so far. If we carried on at his current PPG we'd have 78 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Only Blue Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 2 hours ago, yarddog73 said: I'm not advocating a Reid return that's Mellons call, your post just misses the point though on what Reid offers, he is a goal a game man on minutes played so if he was to maintain that then that alone would be impressive and that's without him taking the penalties so all goals from open play. He also offers something different, I know Mellon prefers the graft and battering ram approach but Green has proven that pace is key at our level, these big pudding defenders hate it, Reid gets in behind and plays off the last man so he would of been perfect last night in the last 20 against tiring legs. He turns defences and causes a different type of problem. All that said I'm not really bothered if he plays for us again after what went on at Christmas, same goes for McGahey for that matter but there is no denying he'd add something to the 16 we are currently naming, particularly late in games. He'll probably end up somewhere like Macclesfield in the summer, they'll love all the nonsense that surrounds him there. Perhaps my point didn't come across right. Believe it or not I would have him in the squad for the football reasons you stated but it's just that rose tinted view of him that he is better than he actually is and some are trying to use him to have a go at MM. I don't think he has knuckled down and tried to make amends like McGahey has and so I trust MM to make the call on him whether to play him. Looking at last night I really don't think he would have touched the ball if he came on as sub and that is a reflection of the team behind him and not him but a lot of people are clamouring that he would have single-handedly changed the game and that is just fanciful thinking.

Fair play Micky, as you were lads. It's been blown up out of all proportion for me - so he said 'What the Fuck are we doing here?' when asked to come in on Xmas day - hardly an earth shattering crime is it? He was disciplined but should be brought back in to the first team squad - Melon is overreacting in my opinion and its costing the team.

Only Blue Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 2 hours ago, deyres42 said: People love to point out Mellon's P2G ratio, Reid I believe has one of if not the best M2G ratio in the squad, seems odd that you wouldn't want to utilise that asset. But if all of what you say is true then it shouldn't be too difficult for Mellon to come out and explain that the player is no longer being considered for selection. Other factors have come into play off the pitch that stop him being utilised. The fact he is not being selected confirms he is (at the moment) not being considered for selection. This has happened since Christmas so we all more or less know why, so what is there to explain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prior to the Xmas day video, he was given a final warning due to a previous misdemeanor. Lets work on the assumption that is something neither he or the club want to go public... He's now out of the fold and trying to undermine Mellon and the club, by saying he's fit and ready to go, knowing full well he isn't considered for selection due to the above, and making it out like he's the victim for not being picked. He knows full well that the previous misdemeanor won't come out so he knows he can continue to play this game and not come out looking like the bad guy. It's really snakey behaviour and for me, a justification and proof point of why he's not involved. Perhaps if he was more concerned about his career than likes on social, he wouldn't be in this situation. Go on then I’ll bite. What did he previously do wrong ?

penrhyn Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 3 hours ago, BP1960 said: Atherton is ready to start, he's no shrinking violet and despite being able to run at defenders, cross the ball and shoot on sight his tackling back is tremendous. I don't know why MM won't play him as in training he will be just the same. If he can take Manchester United u21s apart and score against them Kidderminster will hold no fears. An 11, 000 crowd urging him on will be perfect. BP I am taking your word on this and your previous good judgement . I totally agreed with you on James Berry . But I have only seen clips of Atherton as good as they are its always a gamble . I wonder if he is any relation to Michael? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
