      Tough to know who is available because I think it will be the loan market for us unless we sell some of our better players.

      With the injuries we’ve had at RB this season, Wabara may be worth another shot.

        I think he’s a massively talented player but he seems to be really injury prone which is a worry for someone of his age. Hopefully we can get him fit because, like Gomez, he has the eye for a pass and probably scores more goals than Jordi does.

          The lad who scored the winner had only signed the day before as well.

            My heart says we will get something tonight, but my head says 2 or 3 nil Newcastle.

              How does he work that one out? Stop paying out more than you bring in and make a profit!!! Jesus he got the club for virtually nowt.

              Yes, but then all the fans criticise for not paying stupid fees and wages and question where the money from previous sales has gone.

              Well, ours did anyway.

                If Dave Snr were to ring up his old mate SAF and ask/beg him to come and help us out of this mess, does anyone really think SAF would leave 3 strikers on the bench?

                Not unreasonably, people say give Yootha a chance in the transfer market, perhaps to bring in the so called wonder kids from ManUre (Powell used to be one didn’t he? :P ). A good chef can rustle up a tasty meal from the left overs in the fridge…no different for a footy manager is it?

                He once put Ronaldo who was his best player on the bench so who knows.[/quote]

                Who knows? LeylandLatic knows bro.

                  I am quite good with electrics, i’m not time served so i’m not an Electrician.

                  Take that EGG!

                  Egg, served. I see what you did there. Fried may have been better though especially as Bullitt had mentioned electrics.

                      What do we class as a recognised striker? The Manager believes Yanic to be a striker so does that make him a recognised striker?

                      Is Wayne Rooney a striker or an attacking midfielder? Is Ronaldo better on the right or the left?

                        A very worrying stat. Even before Joyce we were hammering sides but not putting any shots on target. Our play in the final third is woeful.

                          I really hope we start playing well and winning games again, so that fans like you will start watching them again.

                          I’ll let you all know when it happens.

                          I fekin despair! :angry:[/quote]

                          Why do you despair jr? You try making so many fundamental mistakes as Joyce is in your job marrer and see how long you last. You cannot blame fans for being mad and upset. No fan of any club will go knowing the chance of seeing your beloved team win is being drastically reduced by the manager playing lads out of position and ignoring your best strike option. Will Grigg has not become a bad player overnight more likely the fact is that this boring anti-football we have adopted simply doesn’t suit the lad. Like Ali, LHL I have watched this club all my life with pride and fulfilment and its been only the last few years that has been really hard to take. Needless as well coz it has just been down to bad managers. Still fed up and upset.[/quote]

                          I think the last few have been tough to take because 8 years in the Prem has led people to believe we are actually a big club. We probably shouldn’t be in this league really once you take away the parachutes and we rely on what income we actually make.[/quote]
                          I think the lads complaining on here go a lot further back than the greed league. Thirty or forty years and more. The last four years of that era was garbage anyway bar a few desperate run ins when we reverted back to playing the Latics way.[/quote]

                          I go further back than that and know plenty on here do, but it doesnt stop us thinking we are someone when realistically we aren’t. Then there’s those who think we could have made it without Whelan.

                            “The game plan will be no different at home or away from home because we have got some really tough sides to play against and we have got to deal with football clubs that are throwing the best part of £20million of substitutes onto the pitch,” Joyce explained.

                            “That’s where we’re at, we’ve got to make sure we stop the opposition from playing in the best way that we can and limit their opportunities of scoring – which we did today – and then try and come up with ways that we can score goals to win games.

                            “We will approach the game no differently on Wednesday night, we will try and win the game in what we believe is the best way that we can go and do that.

                            Joyce out. Yon mon at Leeds would have sacked him (and his replacement) by now.[/quote]

                            Let’s hope he is never making the decisions at Latics.

                                i think joyce is doing best he can with what he has trying to limit the damage untill january
                                then he can bring in his own players be it loan from manure

                                Exactly.
                                It’s the players who are poor not the system. The system is trying to do the best with the squad we have.
                                The problem with playing two up front is that it weakens the midfield (the extra striker has to come from somewhere), who then are over-run. It then doesn’t matter how many strikers you have if the ball doesn’t get to them. Midfield is over-run, and the defence is put under pressure.
                                Our defence does seem to have improved, with everyone seeming to know what their job is – even if they don’t always manage to actually do it.
                                Joyce needs time to get his own players in who can understand what he wants them to do.[/quote]
