The first time in a long while the players gave their all last night, and this had a positive reaction on the crowd. Scharner was the weak link I think even though he gave his all. He gets into positions brilliantly and nobody can argue with that, he is just not the right man for that position. Melchiot needs to stay away now, as Boyce was playing well before having to make way for Mario in th elat couple of games.
We were given something to shout about again last night and the crowd reacted well to the players. Lets hope we take this to the scum on Saturday.
I can honetsly say I didnt moan at any sub as they were all done at the right time with the right players – he must read my messages haha!
Well done Wigan, well done Martinez!!!!
natdan – fair play to you & a very good positive post. at the end of the day there will still be twists & turns between now & the end of the season, but as i have said in previous posts, now is the time to get behind the lads, martinez & co.
It was the most positive I have felt after a Latics game all season.
I thought Caldwell set the tone in the first minute when he clattered Torres with a tackle
That said they weathered a bit of early pressure for 15 minutes & you could see em grow in confidence after their first decent attacking move. From then on I thought they looked comfortable & the goal had been coming for a good while
What impressed me most about last night was the way the midfield didn’t let them settle & never gave them the time & space to spray passes about as they have done so often this season. I’d been hoping to see Diame & McCarthy together in the middle & I thought it worked far better than Thomas & Diame.
Thought Moreno led the line well & chased down everything unlike his previous outing up front on his todd. Was a bit bemused when Bobby took him off & moved a guy up front on his own who he has stated can’t play there & I do think we suffered a bit attacking wise after that until Scotland came on but by then the players well & truly had the bit between their teeth & weren’t gonna let that lead slip
A word to Caldwell who i thought led the line superbly. He’s no Bobby Moore but he knows what he can do & does it wellAll that said, one swallow doesn’t make a summer & we’ve been here before. The real acid test for Bobby & the players is to carry on last night’s great work into the rest of the season coz an insipid performance against a Bolton side with improving confidence will mean last night’s hard work will have been wasted
Just to add as well that I can’t make it to many games any more & had the unfortunate experience of watching last night’s game on ESPN. Dunno who the commentator was but the pundit alongside him was Joe Royle & in the 1st half alone they’d mentioned poor crowds 3 times, rugby town twice & some gash about that even being with cheap ticket prices.
All the way through they were patronising in the extreme coming out with comments like “Who’d ever thought you’d see a Colombian & a Honduran playing for Wigan?” “Multi-national Wigan” (like Liverpool aren’t) & that getting beat by Wigan is “even more embarrassing” than losing to Portsmouth
I can usually let $h!t like that slide, and whether it was coz it was coming out of the mouth of Royle who used to come out with similar stuff when he was in chareg of City against us I don’t know, but it was really feckin me off last night.
Guess that’s what I get for not going to many games any more!!!
