You can’t argue with our defensive record of goals conceded. We are circa 5th best outside of the Premiership.
We know that we need strikers, and I’m sure that RL has got his wish list drawn up.
Then to back up the front men we desperately need a midfield general, in the mould of Graham Cavanagh.
Like you say CW, let’s hope Danson stumps up a reasonable transfer kitty.

Despite RL not setting the team on fire, I have enjoyed the games more so than the games under SM.
I think SM did a lot of damage to player’s confidence and didn’t allow them to showcase their real talents. Maybe that’s why Lang & Aasgaard jumped ship. When you listen RL’s interviews carefully, he states that he has given our players more freedom to make decisions and play progressively. Hence, it will take a little bit of time and persuasion to exploit this new freedom.
It’s a bit like the Indian elephant that’s been chained to the tree for years; then when you finally take the chain off, the elephant just stands there not knowing what to do.

Good point CW; how can Maloney scout players that aren’t playing. That must take a special skill !

Second interesting point; I thought that last season we were on course for the play-offs, getting over the points deduction in quick fashion and then starting to climb the league. Then we took the foot off the gas until the final few games of the season. I suspected that Maloney had instructions from Danson

Great first interview, now on Latics TV.

I feel energised for the first time this season

Let’s hope he can take us where Knob End have never been

Trouble is Ryan Lowe has a reputation for a similar type of football as SM. On my way home from games I generally listen to Radio Lancashire and have a chuckle at the Nob End fans complaining about the boring style of football that he instilled into the team whilst he was in charge.
Sounds like frying pan to fire, to me
