      It seems we are not satisfied with fucking about with the first team, we have now moved on to the Development Squad. Five trialists in a semi final, it could only happen at Wigan.

          That is the idiotic bullshit that has fucked this season up. Pathetic.

          It’s a pretty common occurrence at this time of year. Latics have already informed the players in the development squad who are getting released & other clubs have done likewise
          The players Latics are releasing are currently looking round for other clubs and so are the players released from other clubs. All these players (if they’re lucky) get offered opportunities to train with other clubs & those clubs (if possible) like to see them play in a game as opposed to just in training.
          That’s all it is, & if the likes of Joey Johnson are not being kept on then it may be more beneficial to Latics future to take a look at other players who are going to be available than stick with players who they’ve already decided aren’t going to have a future at the club
          It’s nowt to get your knickers in a twist about even if in this instance it may have cost Latics the game

          Come on Tyldesley, let’s not let the facts get in the way of a good rant.

            A bit mean to do it in a cup semi-final though.

              I think this post tells me more about the formation rather than players being released. Sounds like they played one up front then changed to two up front in the second half. Why wasn’t the leading scorer played from the start?

              Development squad. There’s a clue, there

                Yes, I am aware of that. But if the club want to promote a winning mentality then you don’t make changes like that in a semi final. I don’t follow the youth so not sure what formation they normally play but would guess Robles & Cosgrove normally start?
                There is a time and a place for most things, that was a poor decision by whomever and sort of typifies our club at the moment.

                  …and yet Latics won the LFA Youth Cup 6-1 on Saturday. Why doesn’t that typify the club ? ……. building for the future ?

                    If you look at the line up for this match, looks pretty much like the regular first team choice. No wonder they walked it & should maybe have won two bits of silverware this season? On the face of it we have some good young talent coming through

                    As said, there is a time & place for things and making wholesale changes to a team for a semi, isn’t the right time.

                          Though it sounds good strikes me that the LFA Youth cup is a pretty sub standard competition played in by the likes of Bury, Rochdale, Tranmere and Preston rather than teams who have good Academy status. It’s a joke that after so long in the top division we haven’t built a better standard youth set up and despite all the ramblings I’m yet to hear a definitive answer on why the Charnock Richard training ground isn’t near completion. Poor hindsight which will now come back and bite us now we have to nurture our own.

                            Bollocks to giving people credit, let’s aim to find summat negative about everything. FFS !
