No asking what the point is of only making it half a season. If he doesn't score and is garbage we can send him back .. so should have been a full season from the outlet so cover ourselves.

oafcmetty Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Let's hope he's better than the last striker we loaned off Wigan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hands on Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 It is fascinating to see. We approach the season with our only striker, Baxter is not and Branger isn't, out on loan and then a flood of which two are injured (looks that way from the official) and O'Grady still doesn't seem to be able to do it for us. So now another loan of a promising striker. Presumably they have worked out that the way they are working the players means we are unlikely to have a fully fit squad ever. Welcome Callum - look after yourself. If anything train with Wigan and just turn up here on match days. Could play tonight if Wigan allow it.

His ten goals last season came from 14 starts and a load of sub appearances. Can't argue with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mentioned they've both had a year previous to get experience and shake off rust, they're both young strikers with pace looking to prove themselves.

losesome Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Would think if he scored 10 goals for us upto Jan then Wigan would probably be looking to loan him to a league1 club after that!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they are both wonderkids I'd still start with one of O'Grady or Miller on Saturday. Despite COG being awful at FGR I still think that we need an experienced striker for the young guns to play off if we go with two up top. If we get the chance to play Baxter though I'd drop both oldies and play one of Lang or Surridge up on their own with Jose deeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surridge and Lang is infinitely more appealing than any strike force that contains O'Grady, Benteke or for that matter Miller. I'd only play Miller if fit and I'd still start the other two Surridge alongside and Lang coming in off the right. O'Grady and Benteke are no more than bench warmers.

Stevie_J Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Three games into the season. O'Grady written off. Benteke written off. Miller written off. Ridiculous. Litrually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I wrote O'Grady and Benteke off after the pre season they showed nothing that would make you offer them a contract, hope they prove me wrong but can't see it, I reckon Bunn will be getting to the end of his tether with them as well and will be shocked if either are in the starting eleven Saturday.
