If we play like that on Saturday we’ll be chasing shadows, if we play like we did at Villa we may get something from the game.
Last night:
Crowd was awful, ref was abysmal, our performance was worse!
Kirkland – 4 (Awful for their goal, no power on header)
Melchiot – 5
Bramble – 4
Scharner – 4 (Would have been a 2 but for a slight improvement in 2nd half)
Figueroa – 5
Thomas – 7 (Won some key tackles, never stopped for the full 90 mins and was my man of the match)
Brown – 4
N’Zogbia – 4
Gomez – 6 (Was marked very well by Wolves, given no time on ball and had 2 men on him every time he got it)
Koumas – 5 (Was slightly better than Zog but not good enough)
Rodallega – 4 (Looked lost, very poor but credit to Mancienne, he was immense!)
Subs:
Scotland – 6 (A couple of decent runs, a decent cross with no-one on end of it and nearly scored)
Sinclair – 4 (Did he enter the pitch? He went missing – rubbish!)
Roberto – 5 (I gave him a 10 at Villa Park but last night he had no plan B. He tried bringing on the extra striker but was still using the slow build up play from the back with less than 10 mins left when it hadn’t worked for the 80 mins before that).
Hope this was just a one off performance and judjing by that, we need a new centre back, centre mid, winger and striker.
Back to the Villa performance on Saturday please!
BTW, I booed at half time and left before full time. The reason for the boo’s was not directed at Roberto but at the players who are paid huge amounts of money to win football games and they put on the worse 1st half performance i’ve seen for a long time. My booing was aimed at the players to make them realise what we thought of their 1st half performance and I was hoping it would wake them up and start playing in the 2nd half but it didn’t happen. There were boo’s coming from all the stands (apart from the Wolves end) so it wasn’t just a small number. On my way back to my car after full time I heard the whistle, a loud cheer from the Wolves fans which was then drowned out by boo’s from the Wigan fans. I agree with the booing and just hope it makes Roberto and the players know what we thought of that particular game. My boo’s were also directed at the ref who was very poor. Bramble was lucky, from where I was stood (ES2) that looked a certain penalty! The ref was just awful on the whole, all in all, it was a dissapointing night!
We were awful last night but I don’t agree with booing! When things are going pair shaped we should get behind the team they ain’t going to play better if we crucify them every time they make a mistake.
I think we all agree footballers are over paid but thats not there fault if you were offered £25000 or more per week you’d take it, yes?
