      FFS get him back in the team, he can’t be any worse at 16 stone than the two so called forwards we have been using so far.

      He would be a big enough target, that’s for sure.

          Cardiff played with two decent ones up front who combined to score their goal. We played with one up front again, and a shite one at that.

          Cardiff also reverted to a 4-4-2 system which at Wigan seems to be taboo. I was excited when both Fortune and Holt came but is it just coincidence that for the past few seasons our forwards have been inept to say the least or is the negative system we have adopted?. Ah, remember the halcyon days of Roberts and Ellington when football was good?.

            Maynard is NOT decent he is crap, Jones is a rubbish footballer, but is a decent header of the ball so is ok if you play to those strengths, the difference tonight is Cardiff were up against a defence that doesn’t know how to keep a clean sheet.

              You might not rate those two at Cardiff, but I would swap them for Riera and Fortune.

              Maynard scored 4 in 11 matches while on loan with us last year, Fortune has scored 6 in 53 matches for us. He has scored 34 in 190 in his career, and 10 of those were in the mickey mouse Scottish Premier League.

              They may not be world beaters, but Maynard has scored 92 in 250 matches and Jones has scored 88 in 330 matches. I wish Fortune was as shit as those two??

                Fortune could be used as a foil to a striker who has pace and knows where the back of the net is but as an actual goal scorer himself his stats tell us that he aint really that good! As Rosler has said, the business seems to have been done for finding decent strikers and so I feel we must make do with what we have! Rosler’s bubble does appear to have burst!

                  Problem is a midfield issue. Too many players at Wigan who pass it sideways and backwards. Maloney apart no creativity! strikers are isolated with little or no service. I think thats why Rosler wants Forshaw but Whelan probably won’t pay up

                          As bad as Fortuné if not worse, lucky escape if you ask me but another reason to worry about the manager and how desperate he may have gotten!
