MR Brownbill

Still hope yet but a slim one at that.I’m afraid we’ve danced with the relegation devil once too often and no one can really blame bad luck,injuries on our season long plight.Some people harp on about another great relegation escape but for me if we do drop then early season failings like the sequence of games from beginning of Nov to early Jan where we played 12 games ,won 3 drew 1 and lost 8 paved the way to where we are now.We have struggled for 3 seasons to score the goals our sometimes eye candy play deserves and the last few premiership games have highlighted that once again.Second half at West Ham,against 10 men at Qpr,outplayed City and should have done Spurs.The one player who has shown a goalscoring coolness is Macmanaman with superb under pressure finishes against Huddersfield, Everton,Millwall,Spurs.A lad who i don’t think grasps how good he actually is and plays with a freshness, and a no fear attitude.If we are to give these last 4 games a real go then for me it is imperative that you play him from the start and give him the freedom to take the game to the opposition and should we drop then here we have one player who can massively aid a swift return.In fact i’ll go as far to say he could set the Premiership alight never mind the championship.Anyway 10 pts and were safe ….no problem..bye bye Newcastle.

Not going to apportion any blame for Saturday,thought it was a great performance all round.Granted the 1st keystone cops goal was an early kick in the nuts ,but we responded immediately .Would have took a point before but came out feeling p****d off as with the City game it could have been so much more.Di Santos chance at City and 2 great opportunities Kone had in the 2nd half to make it 3-1 we just don’t get the goals our play credits.Was Macmanaman injured or knackered because I found the substitution odd.Just hope Sunderland can nail Villa tonight and put us nearer an adult pamper wearing final day shoot out.

As in the city game and 2nd half at West Ham we will have a lot of the ball and are more than capable of frustrating Spurs ,just got to convert the few chances we get.I try not to get pre-occupied by how other teams might fair,just get results in ours and see where it takes us.2-1 home win for me .

Duncan Sharp was such a sad loss obviously to his loved ones but also to the club,a real Wigan supporter who would have been an excellent successor .

Nothing to do with luck.Had our share recently,macmanaman non- sending off and handball goal against newcastle.As for Qpr how were we unlucky there ? Played against 10 men for 2/3rds of the game and failed to make it count.There will be a few twists yet so its nowhere near over but I have a horrible feeling those toe rags down the road might fail to put Villa away tonight.I agree with previous poster that its a win only Saturday the time for expecting other results to go our way well and truly over as proved this weekend.

FA CUP has been a smokescreen(albeit a great one)which has hidden our deficiencies .Way to many “should have and would haves ” all season long .I thought not getting a striker in the Jan window was a huge boo boo being that he knew from summer Kone could be away for up to 6 wks. Yet again another week of slow pass,pass,pass with not a jot at the end of it.I like every Wigan fan pray we stay up but for the life of me i can’t see it as villa look now like they have goals in them and Monday at Man utd wont be the duck shoot some people are predicting .

1 season of overplaying too many.Out played city and lost. ……out possessed hammers and lost. Again and again we move the ball too slowly and are mediocre in the last 3rd.For me its now a straight shoot out with villa……..and I for 1 think we are the underdogs. I live in hope though! !

My grandaughter has an u5 season ticket which of course cost me nothing.Does anyone know if would be able to get final tickets on that upgraded to u16 as she is a bit too young to go ?
