FAO mr caldwell & mr sharpe

The more the lad puts in great shows the less the chances we will sign him. He belongs to a Championship club and they will either call him back or his wage demand will not match that of what Latics can meet. It is a shame but that is the reality of the situation.

By all reports and from seeing the goals on Sky it looked like another great game for him last night at Peterborough. It would be good to keep him. He must put the fear in defenders when he is on one of those runs. Can anybody remember a player at Latics who could burst through from deep in the field to create chances for himself and his team mates. Gets the old grey matter going that one.

The last time I turned up at a Latics game not knowing any of the players was the 6-3 demolition of Chester when Gillespie beat Chester pretty much on his own. I checked out who he was and found he was a Man Utd youngster which kind of explained the gulf in class between him and the other players!

For the first 30 minutes last night Wildschut was utterly unplayable when Wigan wewre going forward, which they did at will. He did seem to go off the boil a bit after Posh changed their tactics and actually put the Wigan defence under pressure – I guess defending isn’t his strong point at the moment, which may explain why he’s out on loan, as the higher up the football pyramid you go, the more is expected of your players.

I don’t give a flyer if he can tackle or not, if he plays like that for us then he can crack a can and light up against the hoardings for all I care. We’ve plenty others who can do the donkey work.

I think we should at least try to secure the loan move till the end of the season. It’s gotta be good for both parties because if Bro do go up he’ll be more than likely surplus to requirements and if he’s in good form he will no doubt command a higher fee.
As for his wages at Bro ? I’d like bet he’s on less than Holt.

At the meeting with Gary and Jonathan Jackson last week they were both agreeing that, if possible, we will be looking to extend his loan. It is of course not entirely in our hands.

Issy Diaz was no slouch when he ran at defenders, but with his size Wildshutt must petrify defenders.
