pinevillawill Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 (edited) Finished 2-0. Defending looked far from convincing - Ashton hit the crossbar twice and the post once - but all in all a decent performance. Josh Parker looked quick and lively and scored two cracking goals; for his first he broke free out wide and curled the ball into the top-far corner with the outside of his boot, and for his second he span their 6ft+ centre half on the edge of the area and lobbed the keeper with ease. Mellor looked strong and creative and made a couple of surging runs from the middle of the park. Other two trialists (black left back and European-looking left mid) looked far from convincing. Morais played the full 90 but clearly wasn't trying his hardest. Edited August 3, 2011 by excharnwoodlatic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinevillawill Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 so would you sign parker up? That's not for me to say but the fact Duxbury took him off after 45mins suggests he'll be in the squad for Saturday. No Dickov tonight but, according to my brother, Taggart was there.

No Dickov tonight but, according to my brother, Taggart was there. Dickov was there with his son and the missus turned up at the end to pick them up. Josh Parker - yes I think will be tomorrows signing, taken off after 45 minutes and looked very relaxed with the lads in the second half sitting in the stand. No Marc, I have heard a small whisper there are problems in sorting a deal out even beyond the possible training payment I mentioned the other day. If he doesn't sign it will be a sad loss to Latics, I tried to ask Dickov the question but he seemed to not hear me which is a bit unusual as he is normally vey approachable. We will have to wait and see. The French left full back with the hair was gash and we had a left sided (trialist) midfielder/winger (I was told he was Moroccan) was very light weight and also gash.

oafcprozac Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Thank you Ian, your another one who can see it. Let him go so he aint wasting our time any more! He was particularly poor tonight, as was '11'. Parker looked a threat every time he got the ball and it's a shame that Ashton's No. 9 Chris Amadi is 27 and a little too old imo, but he caused us a lot of problems and looked a real handful...

Parker must be signed after showing such finishing prowess. I thought Ashton's terrier like number 4 Danny Lambert had a very good game, sprayed some great passes too, only young I understand and one to watch for the future. I agree about Amadi, silky skills for a big man, what has he been doing all those wasted years ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyPimp Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 The trialist left back has looked OK to me. He can certainly play football anyway. Maybe he just looks worse compared to Black who's had an excellent pre-season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alec1954 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I thought that the Ashton Number 5 was worth a look at. He was young tall and filled the CH role very well. Worth a years reserves contract? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnno1 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Probably what Rod McDonald got... I think its pretty normal for lads such as Rodney McDonald to join on what is effect a third year scholarship in terms of pay etc. Depends on the lads age if he could be signed on this basis.

pinevillawill Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Forgot to mention - Ashton's no 9, the Adeybayor lookalike, was more than a handful in the first half. Think we should work on a 'snap them up from the basement leagues' policy. There's a few gems kicking about aka Smith, Hall, Andrews, Cooksy etc. What about that Norton fella who plays for FC United? I've seen him score goals for fun for Curzon Ashton. Never too late to give players like this a go and their wage demands would be minimal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusoe Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Their wage demands may not be minimal, if they're going from part time to full time. They may want compensating for lost earnings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to bad, didnt Eyres come into the football league at 25? Look how good he turned out to be.. 27 is the start of a strikers prime years.. Could be at least worth a trial to see how he does?
