With the squad being so small why is there room for both mitchley and Brooke no need for both
-
Thought Mitchley did well when he came on today, looked strong and brought something different.
IMO Brooke is not good enough.
-
Agree with you ecky Brooke not good enough think Mich has potential , need s more games to prove himself
-
If this is the case, there is absolutely no room in this squad for passengers and Brooke should be replaced as soon as possible.
-
It's in the case of in an ideal world get rid of both replace with a better forward and another defender or midfielder
-
We've got Mitchey and Brooke in case Reeves leaves.
Mitchley might well do a job
-
Mitchley for reeves who will athletico Madrid replace falcao with when he leaves heskey
-
I thought Mitchelly looked rather sluggish and seemed to loose out on the ball to often.
Brooke never does anything when he is on the ball, he needs a personal lesson with Larwie and Clee because it seems when they get the ball they make something out of nothing.
-
Brooke and mitchley were brought in because the manager panicked in the summer when he thought reeves was leaving

Who do you think he should have brought in? It looked for all the world as if Reeves was leaving. And McGivern f**ked off too. So he needed a couple of forwards. Young lads with a bit of experience at higher levels seemed reasonable enough acquisitions to most people...
-
Mitchley is tarred with coming in on the same day as Brooke, people see them as a double act.
Mitchley needs match fitness for sure but he can't get that unless he gets a run.
I believe when his chance comes he will be a good signing for us.

They were brought very early lee in my opinion was hasty and there track records were hardly impressive
-
As others have said, at the time they were recruited, it was a racing certainty that Damian Reeves was on his way........in fact he had left us. They both seemed reasonable signings at the time given the clubs budget. Of course I would have much preferred we signed Barnes-Homer ::)
I have only seen both players for a limited amount of time and Mitchley looks keen to impress and I think needs match time. I am sure we will see some ins and outs at the club over Christmas once the FA income is known and we know how the Trophy is going
-
But Jimmy, in previous years everyone has absolutely hammered the manager for leaving his signings too late, thus starting the season underprepared.
Damned if you do and damned if you don't. It's not even Christmas in these players' first season. I think we owe them a bit longer...
-
I must say I am disappointed with the progress of Ryan Brooke.
speaking to a few Oldham fans over the summer, they were surprised he dropped so far down the pyramid and thought he could do a job in the football league.
-
Ryan Brooke's basic problem is that he lacks physical presence. Like it or not, in BSBNorth brawn is often more use than brain. Mitchley has possibilities but needs time on the pitch.
I do find it a bit worrying that with a late cry-off and an absence through injury we find it impossible to field a full 16 for a league game.
-
Mitchley got 3 goals last year Brooke has got 2 in his career am I the only one who thought they were odd signings
-
To be fair be Brooke he is still only really young at 21 and, still needs to develop. Mitchley has been out injured for a while and needs to gain match fitness.
As has been mentioned above both were signed after Reeves had left in the summer. It would be difficult for whatever striker came in to follow in those footsteps.
Bear in mind that Reeves hadnt exactly set the world alight before he joined us
-
Reeves had a decent track record at farsley

But bugger all at his subsequent clubs.

2 career goals by the age of 21 isn't that good is it. There's full backs who'd be unhappy with that.

Yes but phil we knew reeves could do something and granted at the time I only thought could rather than will
-
To be fair, he has 4 career goals, still not great, but let's have it right.
-
Yes you maybe right there nicky I take everything back
-
Both Brooke and Mitchley are poor and should be released at the earliest opportunity
And yes I did say this in August

In your opinion that is.
IMO Mitchley has done well in the time he has had with little match practice. Would have scored on Saturday if not for a fine one handed save by their keeper.
-
Ecky, Mitchley is not a good player
Did you see his header from a corner that went out for a throwing on Saturday
Maybe he might get a little better with more game time. But it will be a grim day when Mitchley is named in the starting line up
Only my opinion, I could be wrong of course
-
January will be grim then jdn
-
If Damian Reeves leaves in January we will sign at least two new players, one of whom I am almost certain would be a decent striker.
-
You maybe right mate however many seem to think mitchley is decent
-
we'll see how the two do in the Cheshire Senior Cup.
they should both be looking for braces against congleton.

It depends on your outlook really though mate. I think you may that clear in August!
You focus on his poor flickon that hit him full on the forehead and I focus on his decent strike from the edge of the box and decent control.
For me he is a 23 yr old striker who was very highly rated at Blackpool (i've just read his wikepdeia page again here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Mitchley ) who hasn't been able to get a run in the team due to us having a decent front four. Needs to get fitter with games but I see some promise.
As you say, its about opinions. You could be right but I would like to see some more yet...

By no means certain that reevesy will go in jan
-

There's a massive difference though between decent and absolutely f**king spectacular. Because, lets be honest, there are not many players that can touch Damian Reeves in this division.
