“Wigan were content to defend their lead and paid the penalty for allowing City to dominate possession in the second half”
As for Pierce, in my opinion the club couldn’t win in this situation – he had an offer from a club down south where he is from, he expressed a wish to go (by the way didn’t go on strike, kick up a stink etc, just got on with his job) and he only had 12 months left on his contract. yes we could have made him stay, but then we could have had an unhappy player and also lost him for nothing. The fact he moved to a club a division lower shows it had nothing to do with ambition or money, purely to be closer to his family, after all footballers are human beings like us. Good Luck to him I say.
I know it just questions why. Surely in this scenario however good or bad he is even Billy would be better than no striker or a makeshift striker.
Is Will injured or off to Hull?
Who knows these days. What is stated by clubs is often much different than reality and if the offer is over a million we will be listening. Others sniffing around players can often turn their heads and this is when these sudden injuries develop. Agents offering silly money can also get to players too.
Jason Pearce was far from our greatest ever defender so what really happened there? Clubs will feed us fans any shite.We’ve never been a club that have had an abundance of strikers, plenty of midfielders but never strikers. Good strikers these days are as rare as rockin horse crap, hence expansive, hence why we in effect only really have Grigg. Weve always seemed to take a punt on relatively unknowns and hoped for the best, some have been expensive flops, some have just .. well picked up their wages and either benched or sent out on loan. it worries me that we only have grigg, and hes untested at this level, let alone be sold to the likes of hull, in effect 2 steps up. The club aren’t stupid, Caldwell knows far more than we ever do/will, so we just need to trust his decision making .. he hasn’t done much wrong so far has he ..
Wonder if Yanick likes them ?
He could be our Pasty Dutchie on the left hand side…
oh dear sorry about that
If Huws ends up staying I think he will be the perfect replacement and we don’t need to go out and buy anyone.
I don’t think Caldwell would go near him.
We just signed this Dan Burn, and Caldwell said of him:
“He fits our profile exactly, young, hungry and with experience at this level and the desire to progress with us”
Somehow I cant see that applying to Powell.
Message for Bobby:
Good luck in your next job and thanks for the memories. Top bloke and marvelous human being.
Watched this in the Marquee last night – Whilst I agree that was a good point in the circumstances, if Milwall had any decent strikers or had taken their chances, this could easily have been a serious whitewash – we lacked any pace from the off, kept giving the ball away, couldn’t find our men and looked lethargic. Still, a great point nevertheless. Oh and ref was absolute shite.
What if doesn’t make any difference; it’s what happens that matters !
What if Robles hadn’t kept Tevez from scoring a certain goal at Wembley ?
What if Morsey hadn’t been sent off last night ?
What if Bill Kenyon had re-located us to Skelmersdale ?
What if DW had never bought the club ?
See what I mean.[/quote]
What If I didn’t even say “What if” ?

Not only one lot of applause but two, well done to all tics fans .. respect, the family must be really proud.
