I thought Tuncay had gone to Fenerbahce on a season-long loan? Wiki says he hasn’t, did I dream that?

Distin and Bentley would be terrific signings, but would cost us too much I fear, in terms of wages at least.

He’s played three games. :roll:

To get to Blackpool, yes. It’s £9 on the coach and would be a lot less in petrol.

You are completely overreacting. We have lost one game for Christ’s sake. Against a decent side that scored from a set piece early on and then put ten men behind the ball.

Let’s not forget that we are WIGAN. How can losing a Premiership game against Wolves cause so much outrage? We’re by no means the finished article yet.

It’s not about spending money.

We do need a centre midfielder, I’ll admit that, but we could quite have easily played 4-5-1 like Wolves and nullified all our chances of going for a win by settling for a point and hoping that we grabbed a goal from somewhere – which is what we would have done under previous regimes. But instead, Martinez set us out to have four men committed to getting forward and creating what they could and, well, it didn’t work, but that’s not necessarily down to a lack of quality.

We need somobody to drop deeper and recieve the ball from Bramble and Scharner, otherwise they will have to resort to just knocking it about amongst themselves. Neither Brown or Thomas did that and when Gómez did he was followed by David Edwards.

Worst performance in fifty years? Get out. Overreact much?

We were playing a side that came to defend and did so well. It was perhaps tactical naivety thinking that we could pass through them, but it certainly wasn’t the worst performance in the past year, let alone fifty.

And we don’t need to spend big, we just need the right type of player – a good passer of the ball in the middle of midfield.

Aye, I was in ES3 and people were booing at half time and shouting get it forward at every opportunity. Imbaciles.

Mancienne was quality tonight – I’m not at all surprised that he got called into the England squad judging by that performance. He kept Rodallega out of the game completely. And fair play to Wolves; they came and snatched a goal and defended valiantly for the rest of the game – they deserved their points truth be told.

As for us, we need someone that can pass a ball in the centre of midfield, because when we play at home and teams come and close us down and mark our wingers out of the game, all of our creativity is rendered redundant and we become impotent unless we run at them. A Xabi Alonso type player alongside Hendry Thomas would work perfectly, hopefully Messrs Bodde and Diamé will live up to that tag.

I think I’ll be seeing Scharner and Bramble playing one-twos in my sleep.
