From an ICT site
Mckay struggled for quite a while here when the former manager had a style of play which involved lumping the ball upfield to the 6′ 4″ striker. After a while of this being pretty unsuccessful he finally realised that Mckay is only 5′ 7″ and we started playing it on the deck a bit more. There seem to be a couple of types of goals in the compilations here which represent the type of situation in which Billy will score. The first is having players who will clock his running off the ball and in particular his diagonal runs which invite team mates to slip the ball behind the defenders and into his path. The second is getting wide and drilling in low balls into the middle.
But there is more to his play than just scoring goals and he has often made excellent contributions to games even when going through a bit of a barren patch in terms of goals. He works hard and pressures defenders, he can hold the ball up pretty well and lays it off well. He can also drift wide and take defenders with him making space for midfielders coming from deep. He loves to go for goal as all strikers do, but he has good awareness of others and is not selfish.
One reason why strikers often flop is that folk expect too much too soon. Players like Billy score goals when they are on the same wavelength as their team mates. It can take quite a while for people to gel but football fans and many football managers can be very inpatient. If the crowd gets on a striker’s back because they haven’t scored in the first 4 or 5 games then they get to feel the pressure and either snatch at chances or hesitate. We’re a patient lot up here and like to give players a chance to show that they can realise the potential the manager saw in them when signing them. Billy might not save you from the drop this season, but he may well be a major factor in you bouncing back up next year.
I can remember about 10 years up till Whelan taking over which were as bleak as it gets supporting a football club, without actually going bust. Anyone starting supporting after that will have only ever seen the good times, mixed with some stability and plenty will be doing the Wigan walk now.
It will become easier to stay in the pub or house this winter than wander down the Latics, that’s for sure, even for some of those Loyal voters. Grown men doing a loyalty test :silly:
Oh dear, playing the “Goole Away” card, are we? How much did you throw in Stan’s bucket then, Superfan?
I am confused though; I think you said in earlier post that you only go now because of your son. For someone who claims not care that much, you don’t half do some moaning[/quote]
What a horrible man you are, forever putting people down, you need counselling or at best a metal Bob cap !

From Matlock to ManU
What a journey!Can’t remember the exact date, but we are 20 years since DW took over with the never to be forgotten comment of having us in the Premier League in 10 years.
We have been on the most amazing journey of any English club in that time. Now we’re facing a drop in Fortune.. :oops:
Our time will come again. Plenty of clubs have had to drop to League 1 and then got back to the Prem eg Man City, Norwich, QPR….
On the 50th anniversary of Churchill’s funeral, we can genuinely say of 11th May 2013….”We have never seen a greater day”
A priceless memory to take to the grave, whatever happens in the future.

I think you’ll find I only have a pop at knobheads. And most of those knobheads are clever enough to realise that most of the time it is just their opinion I’m having a pop at. Banter, I think they call it.
Others, however – and I’m looking right over at you now – are just plain knobheads. Now run along, the grown-ups are talking
A knobheads opinion is better than not having an opinion and knocking someone else’s opinion imo
Any loyal Latics going to Ipswich today.
I looked at going as the wife’s in London this weekend but when the tickets for me and the lad cost as much as a night in the Holiday Inn I knocked it on the head. Nobody bawling about the cost of tickets for this one but its nearly as much as Leeds was and its more costly to get there.

Almost as silly as a grown man calling himself Tez….!
Almost as silly as a grown man thinking this poll was anything more than a little bit of light entertainment after the near-suicidal comments that were being made by people on social media.
I even put a smiley at the end of the OP.

Or Griff or Sammy or anything else, its my name or my nickname, I ain’t hiding behind bald cock or some of the other shite I see. At last you won the most pointless inane comment of the day award.
If you don’t find it strange, grown men voting to prove how loyal they are that is up to you Samuel or do folk call you Sammy or is it a reference to a seal? FFS

Odd what passes as light entertainment in Little Liverpool
I prefer the Stella in the stagNot going to Ipswich but just cant wait to get behind our team against Bournemouth. We will beat them but fingers crossed for their fans they can go on a cracking little journey like we have.

It seems everyone else viewed this Loyalty thread as a bit of fun except you “Tez” who used it for another one of your pointless mard-arse rants.

Tez hasn’t got a sense of humour. He hasn’t time for one, because he’s too busy thinking he’s the only one who has ever supported Wigan properly and he’s the only one who has any clue about what’s going wrong at the club though he is STILL yet to come up with any solution for any of these problems and the only person who seems to ally with him is that idiot, Torch.
And all this from someone who says he’s not even arsed about the club and only goes because his lad wants to.
Oh I’ve got a sense of humour alright, I’m pissing myself at you two gay lords, telling me I’m sad for having my own name on here and an opinion.
Oh the irony of the 2 called Sammy and Griff! I presume you both voted to show how great a fan you’re going to be for Mighty Malky? Is he allowed to be called Malky or should I start calling him Malcolm.

Ps, I don’t go because my lad wants to at all, I take him because I want to, so he doesn’t end up supporting somebody else other than his hometown club or the rugby for that matter. I’ll hopefully just let that sink in so it isn’t brought up again when you’re trying to clever and failing.
