Wigan Are definitely going down!!

I would like to share your optimism Dalyo but am finding it quite hard having seen that shower of shyte last night.
I walked off Villa Park with a Liam Gallagher swagger staring out the oncoming villa fans like a cat who had just rubbished all the milk. Then down to earth with a bang, like you say against a team who did a “Wigan Athletic style” job on us.
The highs and lows of the united game made it hard to realise what standard of team we actually are, having fought toe to toe for the best part of an hour against the EPL champs, then bushak! colapse of the Roman empire.

Now lets get round to last night. The things that botherered me the most were:

1) We have shown in 2 out of the 3 games played, that we have not got the players to pass our way out from the back. Bobby looks intent on continuing with this style and thats really worrying. What’s more worrying is that when we do pass our way out the back four and its in midfield, the short passing game stops and we suddenly start rushing things and finally resort to a 50 yard punt across field, hitting the winger at head height or hitting row F. Are we a slick, little traingle passing team, as per the old Liverpool team of the 80’s or are we a hoof boltonesque side?

2) It was a great opportunity for the likes of Watson[misplaced 27 passes], King[ ofseed again], Edman [caught in possesion], Scotland[couldn’t trap a bag of cement], Pollitt [couldn’t catch a bag of cement] and Boyce [would not be able to link up with Jodie Marsh], to stake their claim, yet not one of these looked good enough to get in the Blackpool side put out last night.

I’m not being funny but they should have bust a gut for Bobby last night.

3) As for Bobby. I’m still excited by his signing, but come on matey, arms folded all night looking like a civil servant waiting for a bus. Get the lazy barstewards bolluked!!. Me and my mate were arguing which 3 players would be subbed at half time and yet the same embaressing 11 trundled out. Surely DDR deserved a chance having played some decent pre season games. Lets see your nast streak Bobby, to survive as a premiership manager you’ll need one. Ady Boothroyd was a nice man, where is he now?

4) I know we need to give some of the new players time to settle at the club, but if they are good enough, just like Diame and Scott Sinclair they will look class for periods of the game.[ If SS is not in the starting 11 Sunday, then I’ll start getting really worried about our management team].
This Ayama, Scotland and McCarthy looked out their depth against a below average championship team. The juries still out on these, lets see if they prove me wrong after 6 or 7 prem starts.

5) Finally, some of our supporters. I realise that the numpty’s walking across the pitch side shouting abuse and showing the old two fingered salute after the second goal went in, were probably out just for a trip to the local watering holes, but FFS, they were more embaressing than the players in blue and white. I was sat there in my orange flourescent jacket, looking a pilluck and feeling a pilluck watching my team being mauled and felt like doing that, but hey lets not go overboard just yet.

So as daleyo says lets not throw ourselves off the pier yet and see what 5 or 6 more games bring.
