And, I just hope it’s nothing more than a rumour that were actually taking a look at a young 20 year old centre half from Oldham’s Academy for a reported 400k-500k.
A bit of an embarrassment for our Academy I’d say.
In recent years we’ve brought through quite a few players who made it as a Pro at lower league level and in Scottish football. Lang’s the latest and we’ll have to see if he can step-up to the Championship. He seems to have done OK at Oldham. But the big hopes, the ones who are international regulars at their age group, are all 18 or under. Of course we still need to see them given an opportunity.
He’s been screwed around in different positions, different formations, all of which has coincided with our drop in form. If only we’d stuck with our tried and tested formation and put Windass in the No.10 position when Powell was injured. Maybe by now he’d have formed a decent relationship with Grigg. As it is both are in and out of the team and we’re playing long ball to Garner!
Then again you can say the same about plenty areas of the team. Not least how the Kipre/Dunkley partnership was broken up. Or shoehorning Burn into a full-back slot when last years player of the season was sat on the bench.
