Well there’s a pattern at the moment were forwards come to the club and we basically don’t play to their strengths.

Let’s face it, if a player can play up front with little supply and get 20+ goals do you think he’d be playing for us right now.
We need to play to our forwards strengths. When Grigg got a bundle he had Deli Ali with him at MK Dons.
For me
5-3-2
Using wing backs going up 1 side at a time so we’ve always 4 at the back, fook me if we can convert Boyce to play wingback I’ll swear we can do it again.

I very much doubt it

a few more out then piley on, probably 5-6 loans and 3-4 new faces should bolster it up to the point that

1/2 of them don’t get a game so we send them out on loan. Woolery the first to go to Swindon when Swindon have made it clear they would prefer to buy not loan so whats the fookin point of us loaning out a player who will be the next Mackay ?.

We need 25 players all with a shout of getting a game, period. And loans in ?, let’s look at some of the loans we’ve had over the past few years it’s comical ,,,ffs. The majority tbh don’t give a flying fook, their not because they want to be, because they have to be. Then when we get a half decent loan in remember Albrighton ?, couldn’t get in our side but wins a Prem medal.

Then there’s folk saying “It’s down to what the manager see’s in training”. Football is littered with lazy tvvats in training, players who don’t enjoy it or dont shine like a race horse on the gallops they save it for match day. So to base a team on purely how good they look in traing is utter fookin madness. I can’t imagine Powell been the best trainer but when he produces on the pitch he’s head and shoulders above the rest.

4 or 5 ?, I can name at least 11 that need to go asap.
Why we bring in players then loan or never play them is beyond me, wages that could be used elsewere.
it’s unbelievable how many players we’ve turned over in the past few years. Normally I can sit there saying “Yeah we got him from…….or….he’s on loan from……but now I’ve not a clue. We need to chop back the dead wood dramatically, shrink the squad to a manageable amount of players so they know they stand have a chance of getting a game.
I just hope Cook doesn’t follow suit of all the failed managers gone by and makes wholesale changes because Southport was was like a horrible flashback

I watched these stats last year in the Prem for betting purposes and I was shocked how many of these “keep the ball” teams actually had 2 3rds of the possession and lost Liverpool been one of the main culprits and West Brom been at the other end of the scale.
I never believed in it even with Martinez in charge the rolling it out from the back when a goal down and a minute to go. Sometimes it took 10 passes and a couple of keeper touches just to get to the half way line while the opposition sat waiting in their own half

He’ll be a starter. Highly rated.[/quote]
By who?, some fans reckon he’s not the best ball player more of a straight forward get rid defender. To be highly rated you need both attributes

If were gonna play Bogle up front on his jacks (which looks more than likely) we better get the wide players right. I seem to remember him playing with a guy at his side at Grimsby when they scored 47 goals in a season so without the service he might struggle which was last seasons undoing.
Hopefully Powell gets himself fit and stays at Latics because his threat from midfield will be the difference between promotion and doing a Sheff Utd
