Agree with CW & Dirk:
The passing backwards is becoming a pandemic, and I’ll never understand short corners or free kicks when we need to get the ball into the box and create panic & danger; and we are bloody losing !Aye, and next Saturday when Reading fans invade the DW pitch we will get docked points for not having sufficient crowd control in place ! You can bet on it !
I agree VAT69, and if we sell our crown jewels and don’t re-invest; or worse still sell for a pittance, then I might finally throw in the towel. Gave the new ownership the benefit of the doubt this season, but next season will be the “season of truth” as we see the what strategy and level of commitment is unveiled.
Sadly it doesn’t feel optimistic. No smoke without fire, but can’t even see the smoke !!!
Yes CW, you are correct.
Meanwhile all the other clubs scouts are sniffing around our best prospects; leaving us with what ?Bloody Hell Papa, your post was not far wrong.
Bloody typical Wigan, hope it’s not a serious injury and we’ve shot ourselves in the foot again !Could of easily been 4-0 at half time.
Then second half we don’t keep the same momentum and good goalkeeping and their poor finishing kept us in front, bar about the last 10-15 mins when we stopped panicking.
Magennis did well and played a pivotal role IMO.I’d like to see us throw men up front from the start; get in front by a couple of goals then use substitutes to shut the back door. We normally resort to a more direct attacking approach only when we are chasing the game.
I just hope that SM has not built this game up to the point that it’s a “must not lose game” and we try to defend our way to a sneaky win.Guess we’ll know by 21:00 hour tonight.
Yep, and what do you get if you pay peanuts ?
We all know that answer !
Can’t see many “quality freebies” beating the door down to sign for the Latics.We played a lot better at the end of last season in the Championship; after decimation of our resources and total uncertainty about our future existence, and it was only the points deduction that killed us off. Why did we play with spirit and endeavour. Answer: we adopted the siege mentality. We need to press that same button now, before it’s too late !
During last season we were forced to install Robinson at the back. IMO he did an admirable job and showed determination in every game that he played. Then as reward, we loan him out this season and fill his vacant role with injury prone players or players that are not turning out to be any significant improvement.
Okay it’s tough; and I’m not really moaning, I’m just so bloody frustrated and I do believe that SM’s post match briefings are starting to sound like excuses. The only trouble is that this subliminally infiltrates the player’s minds to the point were losing or drawing becomes acceptable. Even the supporters expectations are beginning to wane
Hello Cup Winners. Two very valid posts there !
The book definitely stops with SM and the commitment to the one style of football he plays. He needs to give his head a wobble and realise that we are in League 1 and not the Premier League.On the car journey home I listened to Burnley Vs Liverpool on radio Lancashire and funnily enough the commentators said that a lot of the games in the Premier League tend to be slow and boring because of the possession football mentality, whereby they are patient and wait for that one clear cut opening. They actually went on to say that the games in the Championship are often a more exciting spectacle for the fans.
Maybe football as we knew it, is dead
