Excellent 2nd half performance.
Deserved to win really.
But we’d have taken a point prior to kick off I’m sure.
30 January 2013 at 1:41 am #101626Terrible 1st half
Very Good 2nd Half
Espinoza Quality
Can’t help feel we could have gone on and won it but seemed content to keep possesion.
Henriquez should have had the last 10 – You never know!30 January 2013 at 1:43 am #101627Good point out of bottom 3 for 24 hrs at least :woohoo:
30 January 2013 at 1:46 am #101630Apparently we have twice come from 2 goals down to win, Arsenal and West Ham, but both were at home. We have never before tonight gained a single point away from home after being two down.
Well done lads.
30 January 2013 at 1:50 am #101633Much better 2nd half,golobart looked comfortable,how much ground did espinoza cover,but lots of possesion and no real end product,yes we got two goals but for the length of time we had the ball we should have punushed them
30 January 2013 at 1:53 am #101634Has our season just kicked in after half time?
Maloney was immense, McCarthur did great to get forward and Espinoza I love this guy already!!!
Looked a bit shaky at times in his first touch but finally a CM who is not scared to try a decent ball!
All three of them appeared to have free roles at times with McCarthy sitting back deep allowing them to roam about up front as if they owned the place.
And a special mention to Di Santo for sticking it in the net and nearly going on to win the game :)
I want to see us play like that every game now no excuses!
30 January 2013 at 1:56 am #101638Not a problem with anything written by anybody on this thread.
very frustrating team Latics, wish we’d play more up front then we could score a goal like crouch’s, similar to the chance we could have had in the first half when their keeper pushed the ball out
30 January 2013 at 2:08 am #101648I thought that if Henriquez had come on for the last 10mins or so we could have nicked it, especially with the quality of balls that were being put into the box from Maloney and stam. Bar Di santo arriving just too late to get on the end of Maloney’s cross properly there were no players willing to get into the box and take a gamble. That is the annoying part but with hindsight I guess a draw is a fair result !

The fat lad out on the left ! I would have brought on Henriquez instead of Macca ! All the action was down the right after fat lad went off !

Yes, but if you’d taken the fad lad off, and put Henriquez on the left, he wouldn’t have been in box. Or if he was, there’d have been nobody on the left!Considering we’d already scored two in the half and were by far the better team, under the circumstances I think the team was fine the way it was.

Di Santo could have pushed out wide ( He does quite a lot anyway ! ) Henriquez would have provided the fresh legs that more than likely would have got on the end of Maloney’s cross. I just think that a young lad eager to prove himself would have been like a Jack Russell after a rabbit and would have given us the injection that we needed to finish Stoke off. With fat lad off the pitch Macca didn’t really figure and I think Di Santo could have drifted in from the left when needed just for the last 10 mins ! We will never know but I think Stoke were definitely there for the taking in the latter part of the game.
30 January 2013 at 3:26 am #101673Great display tonight. Thought we were quite good first half in parts but lacked that cutting edge. Second half we were superb.
Not many sides silence the Stoke fans at home when they’re 2 up but I don’t think they could believe it. Their board should be interesting reading tonight.
Espinoza was poor early on but got into the game and was impressive again.
McArthur was immense.
Maloney was his usual busy self.
Beausejour even played well.
Golobart made a few mistakes in his distributuon early but he looked very composed and could really be a star for us.Mike Jones. As shite as usual. I’m not sure Crouch can head a ball if he isn’t holding onto someone. Every time he looked where the defender was and then held onto him. Wanker.
30 January 2013 at 3:28 am #101674I was thinking after the 2nd that we could bring Gomez on but I honestly didn’t know who to take off. Henriquez up top and Franco out wide isn’t a bad shout really. Nor is those 2 up top with Maloney behind.
