I know it just questions why. Surely in this scenario however good or bad he is even Billy would be better than no striker or a makeshift striker.
Is Will injured or off to Hull?
Who knows these days. What is stated by clubs is often much different than reality and if the offer is over a million we will be listening. Others sniffing around players can often turn their heads and this is when these sudden injuries develop. Agents offering silly money can also get to players too.
Jason Pearce was far from our greatest ever defender so what really happened there? Clubs will feed us fans any shite.We’ve never been a club that have had an abundance of strikers, plenty of midfielders but never strikers. Good strikers these days are as rare as rockin horse crap, hence expansive, hence why we in effect only really have Grigg. Weve always seemed to take a punt on relatively unknowns and hoped for the best, some have been expensive flops, some have just .. well picked up their wages and either benched or sent out on loan. it worries me that we only have grigg, and hes untested at this level, let alone be sold to the likes of hull, in effect 2 steps up. The club aren’t stupid, Caldwell knows far more than we ever do/will, so we just need to trust his decision making .. he hasn’t done much wrong so far has he ..
Wonder if Yanick likes them ?
He could be our Pasty Dutchie on the left hand side…
oh dear sorry about that
If Huws ends up staying I think he will be the perfect replacement and we don’t need to go out and buy anyone.
I don’t think Caldwell would go near him.
We just signed this Dan Burn, and Caldwell said of him:
“He fits our profile exactly, young, hungry and with experience at this level and the desire to progress with us”
Somehow I cant see that applying to Powell.
Message for Bobby:
Good luck in your next job and thanks for the memories. Top bloke and marvelous human being.
Watched this in the Marquee last night – Whilst I agree that was a good point in the circumstances, if Milwall had any decent strikers or had taken their chances, this could easily have been a serious whitewash – we lacked any pace from the off, kept giving the ball away, couldn’t find our men and looked lethargic. Still, a great point nevertheless. Oh and ref was absolute shite.
What if doesn’t make any difference; it’s what happens that matters !
What if Robles hadn’t kept Tevez from scoring a certain goal at Wembley ?
What if Morsey hadn’t been sent off last night ?
What if Bill Kenyon had re-located us to Skelmersdale ?
What if DW had never bought the club ?
See what I mean.[/quote]
What If I didn’t even say “What if” ?

Not only one lot of applause but two, well done to all tics fans .. respect, the family must be really proud.
Ha ha yeh it does look all made up, just thought I would post it for some Friday fun .. yes I am bored.
Thought it was one of his poorer games yesterday, yes ran around a lot as usual, but gave away the ball a lot more than usual and a lot of his short balls never found their man, lost a few tackles that he would normally of won. Doesn’t take away my overall opinion of him though that he is normally reliable, solid and 101% committed.
Jacobs for me didn’t do anything yesterday, James needs to do more when he cuts inside, an needs to use his right peg more – gets forward a lot but absolutely no end product, and ends up scampering back. Needs more confidence.
Every time Morgan got on the ball by heart rate increases ten fold, for a captain I don’t see him doing any shouting or organising, thought Perkins would be a much better choice IMO
Power seems to be coming on more an more every game, and does do a lot of shouting and organising, looks like a great prospect we have.
Donovan, prefer him at RWB, gives us a bit down the right hand side.
Good to see McCann has a licence to roam from the back through the midfield at times, just need to make more of those opportunities and chances when he does go forward.
Grigg – Now he is one player I just don’t know about yet. Yesterday he was on the floor more times than off it. Seems to be a bit lazy, doesn’t put enough pressure on defenders, seems to jog around rather than get stuck in. Still, if he can score the goals that get us promotion, I suppose that’s a good trade-off. Still expect a lot more from him though.
So that’s my thoughts anyway, on both yesterday and in general. Very happy with the progression we are making, especially the fight and desire to get a goal until the 96th minute
Keep it up lads.If you’d have seen the way the players celebrated after scoring the winner … they were ecstatic, looked so happy and passionate – haven’t seen that in a latics team for a while now, whole team looking together.
Not getting carried away by far, but happy so far with the progress in such a short time.
