Any chance you could post something effective on last nights game Jamboree?
I can. I believe that it is an instant positive for us, although I would have hoped we could keep the lead but a point is a decent result all in all.
When I say positive, I mean because we shipped off Yanic for 7mil and he had a shocker, but the young English Bogle fits right in and bangs 2 away and cost substantially less (Around 6mil less?). If we hadn’t sold Yanic to Norwich and inevitably captured Bogle for very very little in comparison, would we have won/drawn? No, I think we would have lost.Decent looking bit of business and now I see more hope :)
EDIT: Also although it was positive in ways, WJ has to see that 2 Strikers on the field, creates more and can essentially get the goals to win games.
I would also drop Burn and put Bruce in for experience.
You for real ???, he had a stormer. Last ditch tackles are all apart of a defender’s game. The tackle he made in the box when chasing back a one on one was top draw and the one on the dead ball line skinned him and came away with it. What game were you watching ??.
If we can add a little bit of width even on one side I can see goals.
That second half was exactly what Wigan fans,want to see regardless of the result, players giving it 100% and we could have nicked at the death.
Bogle is a breath of fresh air and like Heskey he’s not scared to drop back in and do some defending duties when needed.
I would sooner go down trying and drawing 2-2 or losing 3-2 with 2 up front as opposed to 0-0 draws 1-0 losses with 1 up front.[/quote]Bruce is a far better centre half than Burn with nigh on 50 games worth of Premier League football as opposed to just 9 with Burn. As for the last ditch tackles, what I meant was they are usually tackles that redeem him from an initial mistake that wouldn’t have been called for had he read the game better in the first place! Yeah he has his moments of brilliance ( Don’t most footballers? ) but on the whole the lad is calamitous, almost ‘Bramblesque’ and I feel that Bruce is a far better proposition at this present time.
My man of the match was Bogle who ran his socks off, tracked back ( he was even in our box at one point heading clear! ) played off the last man brilliantly and made some great runs, the lad has vision for sure. Oh yeah and he bagged a brace on his full debut which saved our bacon! Whether he can be our saviour is another thing but the lad is a welcome breath of fresh air to the club!
As for 2 strikers on the field and playing with more positivity, I think you would find it hard to come across many who would disagree that by bringing Grigg on and keeping Bogle on we definitely looked a better side!Like others have said it wasn’t exactly two up front but it did work. Two attack minded players getting in the box. Went home for once feeling entertained.
I’m sure it will be one up top on Saturday.
Other issues for me is even though the two centre halves played well we do look very shaky defensively, maybe Bruce to organise mat be a better option.
The keeper after a decent first few games is now a worry. Maybe time to bring in the experience of Gilks.
Power and Jacobs still not contributing that much.
Why did Weir play on the left after looking so good on the right on Friday?

All defenders make mistakes, for me it’s the hardest position on the field. While a forward can miss 10 efforts then redeem himself with goal and become the hero a defender can make 50 tackles in a game then one slip and he’s the bad guy.
Like I said , all defenders make mistakes, what makes a good one from a bad one is he can redeem it.
Please name me a defender who doesn’t make mistakes and if you do he’ll be in the 40-50 million bracket. And if you think Bruce wont then …… The worse the team the more pressure is put on defenders and more mistakes are made. This doesn’t make them bad defenders,,,, fook me Leicester won a championship with Kante saving the day or they’d have be near the bottom like they are this season.I would also drop Burn and put Bruce in for experience.

Back to 1 up again……Jacobs. Power,Perkins……and 30 mins in…..you guessed it …losing!!!….Is this Tuesday all over again?…..Just for good measure Bristol city already 2 up at Derby. Come on Joyce,start learning the lessons.
Fingers crossed a massive result if we can nail this…..
