Having a right footer on the right and a left footer on the left would definitely benefit Doyle.

[Lt. Aldo Raine]

It'd be a waste of Declan John to have both him and Maddison on the left. I think Maddison's on the right side, it just needs to click.

Neymar is right-footed but plays on the left, while Messi is Left-footed but plays on the right. Have some ambition man!

100% agree.

Doyle as we saw in the Swindon highlights last season, does ever so well getting on the end of crosses played in early, with him facing goal.

Wide men coming inside onto their better foot does slow it down a bit.

However, its how IE seems to want to play at the moment, and we're doing OK, so can't grumble.

Thats a nightmare for a full back, marking someone who constantly cuts inside and puts you on your weaker foot. I think Arsenal used a similar ploy but with their wingbacks back in the day.

Ameobi scored some worldies cutting in from the right onto his left boot.

[Traf]

Cutting inside when faced with two banks of 5 creates even less space.

It works both ways. You can find pros and cons for both styles.

Maddison and how it's going is a bit like a L2 version of (at least till last week) Bale at Spurs. Big name, big reputation, obvious talent but something to prove. Everyone wanting him to do well and hoping it happens when he gets the ball but, sadly, it doesn't 

Couple of times he got the ball in areas where I was 'go on, now, go past him and fire it in the top corner' only for him to stumble straight into the defender and fall on his arse

Maverick will be our Freddi Bobic. Largely frustrating but in 1 must win will be the difference and ruin the opposition

I think that’s unfair on Maddison Matt. I just think it’s his positivity and drive not his intention to score a worldie. I love how as soon as he gets the ball he looks to go forward and make something happen. Ok it’s not come off for him yet but I’m sure it will eventually.

Ok Who are you and what have you done with the real Whitesince63 ?

ARGGGH you sound like Phil Walsh ......"he only scored in 2 games" ...etc etc 

Like a hat-trick is less impressive than if spread over 3 games.

Kewell sacked 

[Escobarp]

Aye. You wouldn’t want to take that job with that nutter in charge

What the hell do they expect?

More managers than cheesy lies this lot.

Bonkers. 

[Dr. Feelgood]

"Oldham have reverted to type and opted to make a managerial change yet again, making it 14 managers since 2015, with the Australian departing with a record of 17 wins, six draws and 18 defeats from 41 games at the helm.

Remarkably that means Kewell has overseen more matches than 12 of the 13 appointments that came before him".

They rated us so poorly that defeat meant the sack. We have quite a record over the years of that happening  it's quite hurtful really.

So, I guess it's tailor-made for Wheater to stumble in. 🤣

Oldham mate was telling me just yesterday Apparently the owners brother is the director of football who brings in all these random players with the manager getting no input  

Also said Kewell was clueless and totally changed the line up every game 

But whoever comes in is up against it with the current set up

 

[Johnnyrotten]

Keith Curle confirmed as new manager, did a good job at Northamtpon and half decent at Carlisle.

Obviously wanted to work with Nicky Adams again.

[jmjhb]

I've heard he's already fallen out with the owner 😂

[Morizio]

One Keith Curle...

After years of mithering, this was the first game I ever saw in the flesh (and the only game I went to at Burnden). Should have retired there and then, really.
