Perkins

My son, who is also a fine chap may I say, was a bit annoyed at me for criticising Wildschut on Saturday.

He has certainly been stunning in a few games, but I am not quite sure he is the Messiah. Against Bradford he was pretty well marked out (although that did give Perkins, Jacobs and Power space to move) and although fast against Swindon I was disappointed in the finish a tad at times.

Is he a good player? Yes of course
Should we try to get a permanent deal? Yes – and we have a good chance with him being here
Is he the solution to every problem in the World? No
Should we (as I have seen said on various social networking sites) “break the bank” to get him? My own view is no. One player is not the answer -we are doing so well because we have a team all pulling together. I would like to see him perform time and time and time again.

And I do realise that this is two threads in a row that I’ve (sort of) agreed with Tez – I promise it won’t happen again.

YEah! I had to take a double take and a rebound off the keeper when I saw that you were agreeing with TEZH in 2 threads. I was on the verge of asking TMO and the 4th Official.

BTW …… why oh why does no one ever respond to my postings? It seems as if I usually close them down. Clearly not enough in training.

Oh aye … In the long run, the best shoes are good. Ah hah, just thought …… my life is like a penis, quite relaxed and simple. It’s just my wife that makes it hard. She got mad with me when I put some Nutella on my salmon; we both got salmonella.

I do think we should sign him, John, it’s just that we shouldn’t bankrupt the club or spend all our budget on one player – which is what some people are saying on social media.

Mind you – I did have to laugh at one comment (not Wildschut related) by a lad whose profile is full of Latics badges and photos of himself in various Latics’ kit poses – who posted on Saturday “Oh – I didn’t realise we were at home today”.

You must admit though George, he looks very much like Macmanaman with a brain. Even when mediocre, his markers have looked rather worried when he gets the ball and wishes at that point, that he was a team mate.

If he does nowt but distracts two defenders, in order to keep allowing Jacobs and co a free run to the box, that will be job done.
Get him signed I say!!:cheer:[/quote]

Isn’t it funny how a grown man would react to a similar viewpoint in 2 completely different ways?

Isn’t it also funny that someone has to make two consecutive posts to try and get a point over, you must be all of a dither. :lol:
Doesn’t matter how many Palace fans watched the game, they have convinced you that Swindon looked a better team when in possession, yet they only had one shot on target, that’s if you call hitting the post on target, the stats say not. I will side with the all the latics fans I’ve spoke to after the game on this, rather than listen to some Palace fans on the wind up.
Does better in possession, not mean creating chances or doing something positive whilst on the ball?
Apart from a 10 minute spell, Wigan looked head and shoulders above a piss poor team looking very low in confidence. You can also tell the palace fans that’s probably our worst performance in 6-7 games.

Swindon better in possession FFS….

Sorry for replying to 2 seperate posts back to back as the way I read them on my phone!!! What a fckwit!

But well done on ignoring my points and choosing to go down the avenue you have. Swindon played nice football with the possession they had I didn’t say they should have won or had more chances though they did hit the post and looked on top at that point. They certainly didn’t look a bottom 2 side with a chairman as manager.

I’ve come to the conclusion you’re clueless about football and blinkered by anything Latics.

I’m clueless about football egh? lets run a poll and ask all the posters who is the clueless one.
You change direction more than the wind and have to resort to name calling like a little kid when people disagree with you or challenge your often pathetic posts.

So thinking that latics looked far the better team in possession than Swindon makes me clueless. Look at the match stats again and try to convince me that they where the “nicer footballing team”.

Perhaps the palace fans thought that the Swindon players had nicer legs, nicer haircuts or nicer kit. :kiss:
The palace fans hung out a kebab and you bit into it, no harm in that, but mentioning it on here??? you left yourself wide open for skitting and skitting you got, end of!

Congratulations to Mr Perkins on getting a 1yr contract extension today.
