Latics playing well especially down the left were Moses is running their right back ragged. Had 5 or 6 good chances already Mommo, Watson and Macca bossing midfield.
De Santo playing up front and doing OK with Gomez playing just behind him.

30 mins gone 0-0
Great link…thanks JR
Promising signs already. Good build up play as usual but lacking that ‘killer’ touch in the final third. Plenty of chances as you say but now need to be a little more clinical – oh! and why on earth do they still persist with the ‘short corner’ routine – have they not the confidence to battle for it in front of goal………or do we not have anyone capable of putting the ball into the area?
This has simply been the Victor Moses show!! :clap:
He has been outstanding all through the game skipping past players at will. We should really be 3 or 4 up, the finishing has been poor [whats new here]and their keeper has been outstanding with particularly top notch saveS from a Mommo curler and a Moses effort from 15 yards out.
We have limited them to a few long range efforts that polly has easily dealt with.
Their best chance came from a poorly defended corner were Gohouri lost his man and he knocked it wide from 2 yards out.
Gomez does not look comfortable in that wide right position and the danger down that side has come from Boycie’s overlapping runs.
MCcarthy has been booked for a deliberate pull back and has been fairly quite compared to Momo and Watson, who have knocked it around nicely creating quite a few opportunities for Di Santo.
The ground looks typical English non league standard with the overshadowing mountain looking very picturesque in the back ground. The pitch looks very rutted but has plenty of grass on it. The lads have knocked it around quite well on this substandard looking surface. Apart from Gohouri hobbling around for 5 mins early on there looks like no injury worries yet. Having waved to the bench looking in quite some pain, big Stevie looks to have worked the knock off.
Very disappointing second half so far 70 mins still 0-0. Apart from a long range Moses chip that just went over the bar with the keeper out of his box, not many chances…..phew Watson has just hit the bar as I am typing. :scared-eek:
Gohouri has finally limped off replaced with Roman Golobart.
MacArthur has looked lively and a Momo thunderbolt just been tipped round post. Sammon trying hard to get into game, but apart from a close range header not really had much service or made anything happen..
Our defence have not really been tested.
Full time whistle goes just has Caldwell makes one two edge of box and looks to have chipped the keeper.
0-0. :shifty:
Generally a good work out, but we look very, very, lightweight up front. Lets hope Rodders comes back from his escapades in South America all fired up.
On the evidence of this game, Moses looks ready to fill the gap left by Zog. however, I really hope this Gomez playing wide right milarky is not in bobby’s long term plans. :naughty:
