For all martinez fans …….. same old same old, 2-1 up sit back try and defend and end up drawing…. makes me laugh when we cant defend in the first place so why try and defend for 45 mins f@cking joke martinez,Heres me thinking we all supported the same club :lol:
martinez cant complain about finishing off the game , somebody needs to tell his players to go over the half way line and then they can get in positions to finish off the opposition…….. sorry forgot THATS HIS JOB
Your reet lets all start waving the old white flag if only di santo would of stuck that in on 46 mins might have been a different match
Some fans on hear cor blimey :yawn:
I had us down for a point and that is what we got
33 you are flogging a dead horse now mate ! Look at the league look at the actual position and try and tell me why you think we are doing ok ? 2-1 up albeit luckily and then the supposed 4 3 3 formation becomes 5 4 1 in the vain hope of a counter attacking 3rd goal ! Martinez has a lot to learn about containing a lead and also putting a game to bed ! His tactics WILL take us down but who cares ? I do and thats why I complain !
I had us down for a point and that is what we gotWould you have taken a point before the match started?
I personally wouldn’t have taken a draw and think West Brom will be the happier of the two it did.As well as a 3 point lead and a game in hand WBA play West Ham and Wolves their next two home games.They would have been right back in the relegation battle if we’d won tonight but now have a possible route to a very healthy gap over us.
I think we’ll have to finish above WBA to survive.

Are you mad WBA were the home team you know they expected three points and having been booed off at half time did you not expect a reaction
some fans are beyond belief
Why is it in some posts people are moaning about us not taking the chances we created in the 2nd half to finish the game off, yet in other posts they are moaning because we never got out of our own half in the 2nd half. Both couldn’t have happened.
At 2-1 Di Santo went through 1 on 1 and missed, Hugo missed the rebound then N’Zogbia went through with a weak finish.
If we got that 3rd goal it was game over.
You know, I wonder if SKY Sports hadnt talked about Wigan sitting deep in the second half, how many would be quoting that today?
The game was a cracking end to end relegation battle, we should have won but could have easily have lost it. The reason why we defended so much in the second half was West Brom pushed and threw men forward.
Of course the series of misplaced passes and a lack of an outlet up front to hold the ball up and allow us to get out didnt help, but for all the Darksiders we gave it a go last night and it didnt work out. Fitness for McCarthey didnt help us, the back 4 was makeshift, and when Figgy went off it changed the game for us.
If we play like that till the end of the season then we cant say we didnt give it a go. 3 points on Saturday and all will look good again !

The reason many are mentioning it is because we have eyes & can see when a team is sitting back as opposed to being pushed back
I think a further reason many people are mentining it (I certainly am) is in light of Ronnie Stam’s comments in the WEP following the home draw against Fulham when the team also appeared to sit back & try & protect a 1 goal lead (and failed). His comments are on the Wigan Today website but basically were in response to a comment that Fulham pushed the team back & he said somet along the lines of “No they didn’t. That was a deliberate tactic to bring them on to us & then try & work the ball into the space that they’d leave behind them when they pushed forward”
It didn’t work then coz we don’t have the players to play that way & it didn’t work last night eitherIt was an entertaining game I’ll agree but I think the 3 points were in part chucked away due to some poor finishing early in the 2nd half & a change of tactics at half time. when this was combined with West Brom pushing forward to try & get somet out of the game it was only ever gonna lead to us not getting 3 points & in the end it should have been none but for some fine goalkeeping
On another issue – I think Di matteo is getting his knickers in a twist about nothign for the “penalty” that wasn’t given. There has got to be some form of intent for a handball to be given & a defender slicing a clearance up on to his arms, which in turn didn’t move towards the ball nor did they allow him to gain possession of it, is by no means a handball offence
