Worcester Owl Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 One trusts the demands above that Williams should have been brought on were made at least partly in jest. Not sure I’d risk a 15yo against a bunch of non league cloggers in a game where we were largely in control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh_latics Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 My comment was in jest. But when we go 2-0 up in the 85th against a bunch of cloggers who haven't looked like creating anything, you'd think it would be the opportune time to stick him on - makes a record; nice day for him; adds a zero to his transfer fee. Just felt v negative for a bloke who has spent most of his career with u18s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or sensible, given the task in hand - make sure of our place the the 3rd round draw for the chance of a possible massive payday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, this i thought we were focussed and professional yesterday As we were about to bring him on Maidstone were attacking and hit the bar from the free kick, we correctly held back the substitution for a moment and then the chance was gone and the game ended...Frankie’ did his job perfectly yesterday; right team selection, right tactics and we’re in the 3rd round no need to look for negatives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lads time is going to come and he should only be introduced once hes ready and in the right settings. If we were 3 up with 15 minutes to go then no doubt he would have got on but as the game was still competitive til very late it was never really going to happen.

To be fair I thought they created a decent atmosphere yesterday, put plenty of League teams to shame that's for sure. Really enjoyable game yesterday which we controlled and never really looked in any danger, Surridge not quite firing yet but I thought the defence was very solid particularly Clarke, Dummigan and Hunt both had their best games for a while and players are really giving their all for the cause, roll on Monday where we can either pull out a winnable game at home or a big pay day at a new ground.

They reckon he will go right to the top... If a big side does come calling chances are he will be off. Sitting in a premier league 'stockpile' for a few years will earn him more than most of us will see in a full working life. Isn't the question more ' what can AL do to avoid just getting token compensation ?' Does giving him a professional contract give us more leverage- even if it is on a modest amount?

This for me. Their section of the terrace was packed and very loud. Made for a great atmosphere. The Latics fans who who made the long journey were, excluding the usual suspects, on top form. Good noise and well behaved. Maidstone made us feel welcome and that only added to the day. The Flower Pot pub was a superb little find - top class beer and atmosphere. A proper pub. As for the game; we played within ourselves and were in control throughout the game. We did seem to play a lot in the air and looked slightly ill at ease with the 3G pitch. Job done in the end. Hopefully Surridge will get back to his pre-injury form as he still looks off his game. Next game please... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
