I don’t rate McDonald he gives the ball away far too often and has been at fault for a couple of goals against us this season, the Newcastle game being his biggest cock up! He is as you say not a flair player and can be quite negative with his passing and as we need to start shifting the ball through midfield at pace, he is not the type of player we need right now! As for WJ, I just thought that at such a crucial time of the season and in our current predicament that the club would have been more candid and kept us in the loop! Mind you we are only the fans, it’s got fuck all to do with us!
From watching the above video I reckon we will see Josh Laurent sooner rather than later! Got to be better than McDonald surely!
So Barrow still appears to be at the helm for now but why have the club not updated the fans on the situation? Have I missed something? Will he be in the dugout tomorrow? Will he show up before this Saturday? Will he be in the dugout Saturday? All a bit cloak and dagger!
We’ve been saying this for weeks now and still nothing changes, the thing is I don’t think it is going to change either!
Mate of mine who is a Rovers fan said we were the worst team to visit Ewood this season and that he can’t believe we are not bottom of the league!
If we start with some wide players who can skin defenders and put decent balls in then we might get something out of it! Here’s hoping!
We’ve been saying this for weeks and then come match day it all turns to shit! I am now bereft of any confidence or positivity! 0-0 or Rovers to nick it!
Perhaps the fans that are ‘Kicking off’ are more passionate than the easily pleased brigade and that they don’t want to see their club going in the wrong direction?
…and perhaps the fans not “kicking off” are those who go week in week out and would watch and get behind um if they got thrashed every week. It’s Wigan Athletic I support, not a manager, or players or Chairman. Its been my team since a young lad and it will be my team when I die. I leave the grounds moaning about how crap they have been then wipe the slate clean for the next match.
The demise of our crowds from when we were in the top flight says everything about our fans particularly the young ones who have tasted nothing but success.I’m certainly not happy with our current predicament and would love to see WJ turn things around, but if any of you think that by sacking WJ it will solve our problems, then think again boys.
Having managed people all my working life, folk are great at finding problems and faults, but not that good at finding solutions.You all have a right to have a moan so carry on if it makes you feel better, but just remember the “Lightside” are in a win, win, win, win situation. If WJ stays and turns it around we’ll be happy, if WJ is potted and a new manager comes in and turns it around we will be happy, if WJ stays and gets us relegated we will look forward to next season, if a new manager comes in and gets us relegated we will Look forward to next season.
One thing that is guaranteed, is if we lose Satdy, the serial moaners will be falling over themselves to be the first to start a doom and gloom thread, I will guess it will happen at 4:56pm. :lol:
If we do lose, I’ll check it when I get home from Ewood about 5:45pm. :whistle:[/quote]
The superfan has been coaxed out of his hiding hole! As I see it, most if not all the fans moaning as you say go to the games so don’t try that old chestnut, have you not heard of smartphones ? Blind faith is what you have just described and if you are quite happy for ‘Your Club’ as you put it to wallow in the lower leagues with fuck all money and a danger of actually going to pot one day then you are more stupid than you actually come across![/quote]
Hey up Phil, I’ve hit a nerve there!! Super Fan, why I thank you sir, I don’t see myself as one but thanks anyway.
I have heard of smart phones and have one myself, however at 4:56pm I’ll probably be stood clapping my team off or having a piss. I definitely wont be rushing to find a signal to post on CL. Still if you or others get a cheap thrill from it, carry on buddy. To quote an old poster who no longer frequents the board, “There is nothing like trying to make a fool of someone and looking the real fool yourself”
Go on then I’ll check my watch at final whistle and see how long it takes till the first moan post. I’ll guarantee that it won’t be from anyone who has been to the match.By the way Phil I hope you are going, its only 25 mins down the 65 for you. :lol:[/quote]
It’s 20 mins actually but I’ll be gigging this weekend so no I ain’t going! Thought it was Sammy who came out with the fool thing, water off a duck’s back either way and I don’t use phone to post ( far too small and fiddly for my eyes! ) As for the clapping team off against Forest, you must have been in a minority there then! Every single person I could hear coming off the ground was saying how shit it had been and that it’s getting worse but you thought they deserved clapping off ! Another corker right there ![/quote]
When did I say I clapped the team off at after the Forest game? As soon as the whistle went I shot up to the concourse steps looking for a quick get away, I do this at every home game. Was my reference to clapping not for the coming Blackburn game?. Another attempt at trying to be clever and ballsing it up. I’d leave it at that Phil and have an early night. :P[/quote]
Not much of a super fan then after all! So you never clap the lads off at home then? You just leg it! You’re no better than me man ! ;) In fact, contrary to popular belief I do actually stay till the end of games that hang in the balance and clap at the end so maybe I am the better home fan and you are the better away fan, unless you are taking a piss instead and then again, you are no better than me! ;)[/quote]
You are there again Phil, were did I say I didn’t clap after the whistle blew at the Forest game ? I can actually clap and run, however,whether I did or didn’t I haven’t yet indicated, hence you are making assumptions.
You are not doing very good job with this discussion are you Phil.[/quote]You couldn’t beat Griff and you can’t beat me, you are not intelligent enough! Clapping whilst running away? Very sincere mate, very sincere! As for my assumption, not really an assumption is it when I can quote you as saying…..”When did I say I clapped the team off at after the Forest game? As soon as the whistle went I shot up to the concourse steps looking for a quick get away, I do this at every home game.”
You are meeting yourself coming back mate, I have bamboozled you into a state of confusion! ;)Perhaps the fans that are ‘Kicking off’ are more passionate than the easily pleased brigade and that they don’t want to see their club going in the wrong direction?
