A bit harsh Ian. Always looks more likely to get on the score-sheet than Ferrier, though Morgan contributes more elsewhere on the park.Great, he was rubbish to be honest.

Interesting re Charlie Jolley. The 1950s guy was also a forward. Born in Bebington. Went on to play a few times for Chester and then Oswestry. Died a few years ago. I wonder is they were related?Don’t think he featured in the EFL game, he certainly didn’t start it? Given Wigan’s financial woes and pared down squad, surprising he wasn’t given much opportunity there if he’s got potential. Would like Jake Burton to be given another go, if we’re going down the inexperienced striker route.
Curiously we’ve already had a Charlie Jolley on the books who played a handful of games for Rovers in the 50s
I agree re Burton, guessing he got covid, but deserves another chance on what I saw in the Barnsley game. The fact that Jolley hasn't been given much opportunity even in Wigan's current difficulties troubles me a bit, he is very short of experience and unless something unexpected happens, he'll probably be a bench warmer for the rest of the season.Interesting move for someone with so little senior football - assume it means Burton will be off out on loan if we can find someone to take him and then will be let go at end season now that Jolley has signed - shame I would like to have seen him given more game time.
Seems no matter which Manager is in charge the youth setup simply can't produce players as the PL creaming off all talent now - DWR also seems to have sunk without trace this season.
It’s funny how football works. Nelson who played at Wembley v Newport ahead of Mcnulty and was excellent. Ellis was quality in the last few games of league 1 before lockdown. CBT arguably our player of this season under Dawes and Parky. Football is a ruthless business and can only assume that neither Sid or Mark have impressed Hill as much as Ray.The ITK poster on the other site is suggesting CBT, Ellis and Nelson as players who might be moved on, he is vaguer about Ferrier.
Assuming Ellis/Nelson is an either/or. It would be risky to let both go without replacement. I still think both are better players than Ray, but the manager seems to think otherwise.
