If we couldn’t beat one of the top four with the quality managers and players we’ve let go, this bunch of lower league trash marshalled by an inexperienced boss and coached by a bloke who has been sacked at every club he’s been including us have not a hope in hell.
quality managers!roberto,graeme,graham, DE -BAN bobby
25 September 2009 at 11:44 am #9653After reading those comments about digging in and not trying to pass round them I had to chuckle to myself.
How ironic is it, that the few teams that beat chelsea do it by playing football and passing round them. OK these teams have top quality players who in the main are man for man better than ours, but the methodology is still the same.I personally would like to see us develop the passing game getting the odd hammering by the top four teams than being labelled just a gutsy little team out to kick and stop teams playing. We saw some woeful displays against the top 4 teams under Jewell and Bruce and guess what, apart from the draw at Liverpool and the cup win at home to Arsenal we still lost every game.
Bobby has a plan, yes for once one of our mangagers actually has a plan and is hell bent on making it work. OK it will take time to get it to the standards he wants but the Villa game was proof that it can work and more importantly work with these players.
So as fans of Wigan Athletic Football Club, lets not get this mentality that Bobby has already recognised in the players and wants to change, i.e. being beaten before the first whistle has been blown.

Now I know that me and thee have had minor differences in this past but I could not possibly agree more with that post.

What a journey!26 September 2009 at 9:48 pm #9730Unfortunately with 4-5-1 (or whatever the f*ck we’re playing) I fear another hammering.Against sides like this you need to dig in and poot your foot in, not try and pass round them.
Oops!! :lol:

Good post.
Have you noticed that our other 2 managers are ex Liverpool (Youth i know) & Yoonited & we got tonked off them. every season. Yet get Bobby who hasnt played for one of the top 4 & we finally win against 1 of them. Is it just that Bobby isnt sycophantic but gives them as much respect? -
