Stockport…

No attempt to win that game second half, the subs once again reduced the attacking threat.

Stones on the bench 0-0 10 mins to go what does Maloney do takes Carra off for Sibbick for the last sub.

Why not get Stones on to see if he could nick us a goal the defence was fine.

Two points dropped for me.

Taylor had actually stopped chasing down for the last 10 he’d ran himself into the ground so at that point you replace him yeah?. The most obvious choice unless your 1 up and holding on is Stones.
Nope not Mr Maloney it’s Sibbick on for Carragher who really didn’t need replacing so why? well to give Sibbick another 10 were as Stones is left to ponder his future.

We proceeded on going wide on a pitch the width of a cig box were keepers could also comfortably kick it to each other. That game needed the middle of the park flooding and over run them not wingers on one of the smallest pitches I’ve seen in donkeys years.

Taylor spent most of the game needlessly chasing down, stuff he should be leaving well alone not stupidly burning fuel on no hope lost causes another Maloney trait “Chase everything I don’t care”.

Maloney’s all about don’t lose and nothing to do with let’s win risk & reward.
We finished that game with the vast majority of the players on the pitch either defenders or defensive minded leaving Maloney again happy with a point.
It’s awful colourless football dull to the core orchestrated by a manager lacking in ideas and clearly out his depth.
He took Weir and Aasgaard off two attacking minded players and replaced them with 2 defensive minded midfielders coupled with M.Smith tucked in at the back sums up Maloney.

His treatment of Stones is pathetic soul destroying pathetic. Apparently Cze has crossed his path as well so if true you won’t be seeing Cze again.

I’ve always advocated for Maloney to remain but I’ve had enough. His boats sailed for me and it’s time up. The crowds are dropping and the football is awful no identity no style it’s nasty to watch.

Watch Maloney’s interviews it’s an uncomfortable watch. If he looks and talks like that to the players they’ll be as uncomfortable as me.
I’m a great believer that you should talk and treat people the way you’d want to be treated and spoken to. One hair out of place and he doesn’t treat you the same, that’s my view and I have actually heard this from someone within the club cross his path your out for good.

It won’t be long before winters here and for a lot it will be a case of:-
“Shall I get off my comfy couch and fork out £25 to watch sh*te football or just make another brew and get dunking ?”

It will be hob nob time for alot of folk

Just got back and if you think Maloney’s the man then come off the meds.
M.Smith centre half to allow chamber’s push up ? seriously?, Taylor on his last legs 15-20 to go ? …..doesn’t bring Stones on like for like ?

Look Maloney’s shit, grade 1 turd 4 x 0-0’s in 5 ? Utter clueless get shut get shut now.
I’m sick of it tbh that was wank

I’ve got to be honest, since I’ve stopped going, my head feels a lot better and my BP has come down.

Listen, the whole thing of football at the moment pisses me off. It’s all about not conceding rather than trying to score. It’s supposed to be Entertainment and I cannot remember being entertained much by Latics sides over the past 3 or 4 seasons. It’s been a shitshow, and it’s got worse and worse, year by year.

Maloney is not a manager. A coach at best. But for his club history, he’s no different to Kolo The Klown.

My matchdays are taken up with different things now and I can honestly say I don’t miss it. Sad after 38 years, I know.

I don’t even know who our next game is against? Can’t say I’m bothered, to be quite honest.

You see I see a manager as a guy who chooses the right type of player for he’s style of football. He has to be a good communicator on and off the training pitch and match day.
Coach ? definitely not, he employs guys to coach his style. Maloney stands there after a game and cannot even communicate with 1 guy.
If he can’t do that he’s no chance with 28 guys.
He is 100% not a manager and after seeing his style of play he’s not a coach.
That football were been currently been dished up is some of the worse football I’ve seen in years. I’m reading people’s comments like

6 clean sheets another well earned point

We just need to score a couple more

At this rate we’ll finish on 58 points

Currently in most games we are totally reliant on the defence. At some point it will be breached and if and when that happens we will lose.
We won’t draw because we’ve probably the worse attacking bunch of players badly set up as far back as I can remember.
Yes I support Wigan and always will but I’m not sure I can take another winter sat there freezing my sack off without something to take my mind off the cold.
I can see some of these Tuesday games going below 6000 I truly can

You are not on your own Vat man.
