slystallone Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Winny should be played in a midfield 3. he tucks in loads anyway. I'm in the minority who prefers one up top with poleon and forte supporting.Doesn't have to be defensive with willing runners. Me too. I'm a 4-2-3-1 though; Pochetino style; and i'd have Winchester in the front 3, in the middle position. I think i'd have Poleon in the wide right, as from what i've seen; i'm not sure what he is really; but he doesnt to me look like an out & out striker. But that would be pace on either side with him & Forte. Wilkinson as the lone striker for now until we sign someone else for that role...

welshgaz Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 You would leave Philliskirk out Sly? this is my dilemma with the formation I'd play. on form philly would play but we would probably end up with no one up top as he naturally drops deep.

slystallone Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 He's not been great so far, and has been a shadow of the lad we first saw when he arrived. I'm hoping his 2 goals on Saturday will help reinvigurate him and he'll kick on from here again. My debate in terms of him is, if you play him as the lone striker; we could end up with a weird Spanish 'false 9' thing, as Philly naturally drops deep. His position is behind the lone striker - but that's where i'm wanting Winchester to go, so we can get the best out of him for 90mins. Eeeee, it's hard this management lark isnt it?

I did throw out the idea of using Philly up front with three (at the moment probably Forte, Poleon and Winchester) behind. I think he's got the intelligence to pull the defence around and play the others in if it's played to his feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OAFCM35 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Browsing through the Championship, looking at who hasn't had much gametime so far and could be fairly realistic, a couple at Leeds in Ajose and Morison, Williams at Middlesborough, Lolley and Paterson at Huddersfield. Lad at Blackburn who could do a job for us at right midfield, Chris Taylor his name... I liked the look of Lolley at Kidderminster, I recon he could be a top forward in League 1 if Hudds were interested in loaning him out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unsworthlatic Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I liked the look of Lolley at Kidderminster, I recon he could be a top forward in League 1 if Hudds were interested in loaning him out I know Joe Lolley, played in the same uni team when I played at UCLAN, class above he was, remember winning 8-2 he scored 4 and set up 4 and then had to go off because he was being called by the Kidderminster manager wanting him for a 6 week trial. Lolley I'm not sure would please a lot of people here, very much like wilkinson in the respect of unproven and young. A lot of Oldham fans want an experienced striker but I can't see for the life of me why to be quite honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigDog Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 'A lot of Oldham fans want an experienced striker But I can't see for the life of me why to be quite honest' It's not the experience that is most important, rather the proven track record I think. We need someone who can hit the ground running - Wilkinson is a decent footballer with great potential however Saturday showed that he lacks the killer instinct when in front of goal. Danny P did just that when he came on and hopefully he will now get back to his best. A striking trio of Forte, Philliskirk and a proven experienced striker would provide huge variety in attack. We then just need Kelly, Jones and Winchester to chip in with a few along with AMS, Bove to come of the bench when needed and we will win more than we lose this season.

b0ndl1ne Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I hope to god we get Paterson, he is far too good for league 1. He's one who I would take til the end of the season and pay top whack for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz_Oafc Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 His goalscoring record is a lot lower than what I'd imagined it to be, and I've no idea if he impressed or not in his 8 game loan spell at Bristol city last season but he only scored once. Don't see him as the cream yourself signing as others on here seem to... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it one of the youth side, who just happens to share the same name as another pro footballer, or is it the Danny Racchi who is ex Bury, Kilmarnock and now an Icelandic side???
