I’d go for McCarthur MOM, closely followed by Collison, Ramis and Crainey.
Cant fault any of them really, although Fortune didn’t do much when he came on.
From Matlock to ManU
What a journey!I just thought that we should have carried on pushing at 2-1 as they were well on the ropes and I felt that taking Powell off ( For obvious reasons of shutting up shop ) was maybe a mistake and the Gomez substitution although backing up the shutting up shop theory was also puzzling! I have sort of contradicted myself there but what I am saying is, we could have got another if we had just kept on pressing !

I expect they’ll both start on Saturday.
The performance dipped when Powell came off though.
My only gripe was that he brought on McClean rather than Callum.
Would you take a draw right now? I personally think that Uwe will go for it and this will make for a most entertaining game ! If we can beat them it will send out a warning to the next 3 sides due at the DW that we are nigh on invincible at home ! :)
My prediction 2-2
Great prediction.
Hope you had a few quid on it.
What a cracking match that was.
Arguably the league performance of the season.
I would have settled for a point beforehand but having led twice you can’t help but feel a little disappointed.[/quote]
Don’t bet on correct scores anymore ! I can’t help feeling slightly annoyed with Crainey for giving away that needless free kick in such a dangerous position ! We looked dead on our feet in those last minutes ! Oh and Fortune is pants ! :unsure:[/quote]
He’s by far the best striker we have in my opinion. I thought he held it up well when he came on and looked much better than Maynard – who was pants.Would you take a draw right now?

Maynard’s frustrating and Rosler has given him a chance. Doesn’t get in the right positions much of the time and needs to work harder and go and find the ball more but I do sense there is a good footballer in there.
As for Fortune, poor decisions from him most of the time (and a good few last night) and capable of moments of inspiration (the penalty he got against City) and moments of madness (his ‘shot’ against City). It’s like there are three teams on the pitch when he’s playing; Latics, whoever they are playing and Fortune doing his own thing.

It’s probably fairer to say that he’s the striker on latics bookas who is most suited to playing that lone sriker role. Maynard for me is probably the more natural finisher but doesn’t have the attributes to play up top on his toddIn all honesty though none of the strikers latics have had on their books this season have been much kop & it’s latics weak spot.
I think it’s testament to the rest of the squad & the work Rosler has done since coming in that with 3 strikers who have a mere 10 goals between them this season in all competitions that we’ve reached the semi-final of the FA Cup & look nailed on for a play off berth when you consider some of those around us have the likes of Charlie Austin, Chris Martin, Adam La Fondre & Pavel Pogrebnyak on their books who have upwards of 60 goals between emI just thought that we should have carried on pushing at 2-1 as they were well on the ropes and I felt that taking Powell off ( For obvious reasons of shutting up shop ) was maybe a mistake and the Gomez substitution although backing up the shutting up shop theory was also puzzling!

Had to come off before he was sent off.
Great performance and should have really had all 3 points. James McArthur was MOM for me I think.
