It was good to watch, now I know Pompey were in party mode and I’m sure if they needed a win to win the league it would have been a different story but still we had to beat a decent side.
Im still scratching my head as to why Maloney’s not prepared to adapt against the lesser sides. If Maloney had of changed tactics against the lower sides I reckon we wouldn’t have been that far off the play-offs
Imagine if we had of scraped in the play-offs,
Bolton ?
Maybe we will have that joy next season
Time to uncork some fine wine from your expansive cellar Lostock.
Just rounded off a cheeky little number from Portugal – Lisboa Bonita.
It slipped down nice and easy as I basked in the splendour of mid table safety.
Hopefully, next season, I’ll need something more racey and punchy as we unleash the real Wigan Athletic I think SM must have ear plugs fitted !
He needs to throw them away and come and sit amongst the crowd; maybe near CW if there is a spare seat.
Otherwise there will be plenty spare seats next season.And one of our favourite centre forwards was in the crowd; Johnny Rogers, the first Latics player ever to score at Wembley !
We shook his hand Starts to blame the pitch at the end of his post match interview today. Apparently it interferes with our passing and slows us down
Just watch the penalty shout on Kevin Sharp; on you tube.
Wonder what VAR would have made of that ? and the Goater hand !Agree with you CW, just wish SM would take our observations / criticism in a constructive way and review his formations and strategy. I seriously think we have some decent players; if only he would let them off the reigns and use them in the right way.
Take Friday as an example: we had two moments in the game when we had Burton panicking and that was when:
Charlie Hughes didn’t put his foot on the ball and point his finger; instead he immediately set of at a pace and ran past 3 Burton players before delivering a pass. Then Tommy P waltzed past 3 Burton players in a similar fashion. There was more excitement in those two moments than the rest of the game. Didn’t happen in the second half.How about David Lowe as Manager & Neil Rimmer as his No 2
Said it weeks ago, that Maloney needs to realise that we are in League 1 and not LaLiga.
The overall standard in this league has been average to poor, this season; and we’ve failed to take anybody apart, except Bolton away. Apart from that game, I can’t recall a game with two good halves.I think this is the answer:
May 1999, our final game was Vs Chesterfield at Springfield Park.
Latics win 3-1, courtesy of Liddell (2) and McGibbon.
And then, onto our final ever game at Springfield in the first round of the play-offs against Man City. Ends in a 1-1 draw with Stuart Barlow scoring for the Latics
Then we have the second leg at Maine Road and “the hand of Goater” finishes us off !
Just watched the You Tube clip and can’t believe how that tackle on Sharpie wasn’t awarded a penalty.
There was no “keep the ball” and bore the pants off everyone in this game; by either side.However, do you remember this one
Play-offs were introduced in the 86/87 season.
Our Manager was Ray Mathias.
Our last game was Vs Brentford at Griffin Park.
We win 3-2 to sneek into the play-offs, courtesy of Lowe, Cribley and Knowles.
Then we flunk the two legged round against Swindon.
I think we were two up home and it ended 3-2 to Swindon. Absolute shock of a game.
Then we could only manage 0-0 away, and Swindon go onto promotion in the final.Roller coaster stuff from the Latics.
