If his knee injury keeps him out on Saturday we won’t be able to play 4-4-2 as we’ll only have one fit striker!
Bit frightening that we’ll have Di Santo as our lone ranger up front when he’s only scored one goal in his career :?
Just had another scary thought, Gomez is likely to start too with our injury problems! He’s just the type of player we need to stand up to those Sjoke bullies!
How many times do folk on here need to be told that we are never ever going to play 4-4-2 whilst Bob is in charge. Stop dreaming.
Very commendable, but even the most hardened optimists need to become realists in face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary! :)
To be fair to the ol’ cart horse I thought one of Gomez’s best performances in a Latics shirt came away at Sjoke last season where they kicked him from pillar to post but he kept getting up (eventually) & was quite impressive
Gomez is good at winning free kicks, pity no one can take them !It sounded like Watson was woeful again last night when it came to corner and free kicks.
It’s a shame because with our lack of cutting edge, we should be trying to make the most of our dead ball situations
Cant remember the last time we took a corner direct into the box, or since we last beat the first man on a corner…..
Am sure this all comes down to betting syndicates…

we must be using the same coaching video as when bullard took corners, either short and crap or barley reaching the 1st man…with the size of our lot you`d think some training ground movement would be used !!!!!!!!!!
has anyone considered that the way we defend deadballs in our own box(clueless) has some bearing on the reason we dont knock corners and free kicks in to our opponents box.
we may have a big set but we are pretty bad in the air front and back
I remember a Swansea fan on one of the latics forums after he’d joined us saying that for all he’d been worshipped down there, there were a few downsides to his reign.
One was the sides inability to close a game down (I think they drew way too many games in their Championship season) & another was the teams inability to defend set pieces which they said stretched back all his managerial time there & which no attempt seemed to have been made to rectify it.Any of that sound familiar??

I’d settle for drawing a few more than we do currently.Me too, but there are games since the start of the season which they have drawn (Sunderland, Bolton & Newcastle – possibly Liverpool too if you discount the first 20 minutes) which should have been 3 points without a shadow of a doubt
I’m not calling it unlucky coz that’s a cop out that can be used to cover a fair few failings on the teams & Bobby’s part
On the flip side I think there’s probably only the Tottenham game that Latics have got 3 points from where i thought on the balance of play we probably only deserved 1
