That when Rodders “at last had someone upfront with him Sammon”!,we caused havoc in the City backline all be it for 8 mins and were unlucky not to score.
Why not bring him on at half time?
Why take Moses off when imo today was his best game since signing for the Tic’s?
How is it that next week against Brum Bobby won’t start with 2 upfront Rodders +Sammon together!.
After all were not desperate for points are we?
No wonder were propping league up!
Sorry but this Mon nice lad that he is,hasn’t got a clue.
If he hadn’t been so stubborn with his 4-5-1 system that every mon and his dog could see wasn’t working we wouldn’t be in the position we are today. :angry-banghead::text-goodpost: :text-goodpost:
I was going to post the same myself.
HindleyIf your target is merely to win as many games as possible and stay up, and you don’t manage to do that, then yes, you deserve to get fired, and no, it is not rocket science.
If your remit is more than that however, and it perhaps includes reducing the wage bill, helping sure up the finances, and develop a decent youth policy to bring players through, then maybe it’s not as clear cut as just avoiding relegation.Tyldesley
You know full well what Martinez is trying to achieve on the pitch, and you know full well that to what extend he has achieved is another matter. I, however, like the fact that somebody has attempted to bring a more patient, European style of football to Wigan as that is the type of football I like. Again, I’ll reiterate before the ‘it’s sh7te football’ brigade comment, it is what he is trying to achieve.
Also, as stated above, he has introduced a system whereby the club buy young players and develop them. The Reserves squad bears testimony to this, and they are playing good short-passing football to boot.
That is what I like about Martinez. You asked for my
reasons – and there they are.Swindon
The phrase I used was ‘not overly concerned’. Perhaps in hindsight it was the wrong phrase to use. Yes, of course I want the club to stay in the Premier League and play at the highest level possible, and if the club are relegated (which I still think/hope we’ll avoid), I would hope we’d be pushing to gain automatic promotion again.
What I won’t be doing if we go down is throwing my toys out of the pram or my season ticket at Whelan. I certainly won’t be sobbing hysterically or calling for the manager, the board, or the owner/tealady/groundsman to be sacked.
You’ve asked for passion, but if passion for some at our stadium includes booing your team off, cheering when a player is substituted, hurling abuse at your manager, and delighting at the prospect of relegation just to prove a point, then I’m not interested.
I’ll support the team how I see fit, and if we’re relegated, I’ll cheer them on next season to gain promotion again.
1) How will relegation help sure up the finances Standish?????
2) How long do you give this clown when everyone can see it’s not working hence our attendances sinking quicker than the Titanic?????
3) We don’t even have an academy so how are we going to develop youth when all the clubs around including Blackpool can offer young players academy training?????Just three questions I could think of which sort of make a mockery of Bob’s master plan IMO.
I,ll be happy if they put the effort in and show a bit of spirit. We may not be able to outplay Citeh but we can match them by trying to outfight them. Just play for 90 mins and put a shift in boys its all we ask. :clap::text-goodpost:
And for all the doom and gloom merchants who are content for us to go down and seem to have accepted it is a fait accompli, let me remind them that we are only TWO points away from safety and that at exactly the same point in the season four years ago West Spam were 10 points off safety and still managed to confortably avoid the drop.So let’s not write off our chances just yet :violin: because in this season of shocks there is absolutely no reason why we cannot turn what has so far been a disappointing season into one where we finish with a bit of a flourish :dance:
Swindon with Bob in charge we have never looked like flourishing, I’m afraid were doomed.
What’s all this “I’m not bothered if we get relegated, it was going to happen sooner or later”.Well I’m sorry but I would be bothered if we got relegated. I don’t want to see the team I support go down. Despite what another thread has said we are at the pinnacle of the English game, playing against some of the best players in the world on a weekly basis.
Why would anyone not be bothered about dropping down a division and seeing us play against mediocre opposition at, let’s be honest, some shyte grounds.
I want my team to be successful, punching above their weight and confounding the critics.
I had a conversation with a Rangers fan last summer where he asked me how I could support Wigan when we invariably hover in the bottom half and get a good thumping off the big boys.
I explained that our existance in the top flight is still a dream to me. I never thought 15 years ago we would be in the Premier League let alone that we would stay there for six seasons. And yes while we may take a few drubbings, I look forward to us every year maybe sticking two fingers up at the big boys and pulling off a shock win, which we did THREE times last year.
We still have one big scalp to claim, but I believe one day we will do it and maybe, just maybe the ref will smile on Little Wigan.
I think a lot of our fans need to take a reality check. Most clubs’ fans are jealous of us, yes jealous of us because we are a small club who are playing cup finals every week while they travel to Torquay or Hartlepool on a cold Tuesday night. We get the p&ss taken out of us by other fans for our poor support, but who cares we are Wigan and proud.
I for one want us to have a few more cup finals against the big boys next season so anyone who is not up for the fight and give their support to the lads can F*ck off and support a small team who dream of one day doing a Wigan.
Well said that man why would people be glad to see us go down???? If we do the aim next year will be to get promoted so will those same people be happy with mid table mediocrity????
I wont I want my team to be the best they can and I’m afraid that means Premier League Football.
Standish it’s not the fact that I was right it’s the fact that you will have to admit you were wrong. Since Bob became manager I told you he was not up to the job and you more than most have critisised me for it.
:shhh: :shhh: :shhh: :shhh:So, you are actually admitting that you were rolling your eyes at Fil for not including Wigan as one of the teams that will be relegated?
And, you are hoping Wigan are relegated so that I’m proven wrong?
I’ve said on numerous occasions that if we’re relegated I’m not overly concerned as it was bound to happen sooner or later, and bar apart from two seasons, ever since we got into the Premier League we’ve been fighting relegation. I’ll still be in my same seat whatever league we’re in.
And yes, I still like what Martinez is trying to achieve at the club and clearly Whelan thinks he’s doing a decent job.[/quote]
If you had a business and Bob had managed that business and spent the money he has and showed you the results he has achieved?????
Well to me it’s not rocket science he would have been sacked along time ago.
Midweek home game, against Colchester.He scored a header at the Shevvy end.
Happy days :obscene-drinkingcheers:
Referee for tomorrow is Matin Attwell. The same guy who sent Caldwell off at City last lear for a foul on himI’ve given up bothering as no matter who we get as ref we wont be able to buy a decision a Shity. :angry-banghead: :angry-banghead:
did he score the goal that confirmed promotion at springy from division 4 or league 2 or what ever it was called at the time?Yes :happy-jumpeveryone:

:shhh: :shhh: :shhh: :shhh:Favorite- IMO the best player to ever play for the mighty Tics De Zeeuw.
Worst- Peter Thorne came on loan from Blackburn did not want to play for us was absolute shoite.
I am gonna predict the three Bs to go down. Birmingham, Blackpool and Blackburn ! 8-):roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:
Old Latics players takes over at Irish Club Newry City.Good luck to him. Scored the goal that got us promoted out of the bottom division and set the ball rolling.
And the rest as they say is history :happy-partydance: :happy-partydance: :happy-partydance:
