Putting aside everyone would prefer a bigger squad full of world class players… how happy is Roberto with the quality and depth of the squad at his disposal? and what are his thoughts on improving in Janaury i.e. will he be actively looking to increase numbers, increase quality or will this all depend on the quality of players available to a club of our stature?
As previously mentioned whats going on with van aanholt?
Also has it been specifically asked of the squad to move the ball around quicker and take a more direct approach in recent games? or is this more down to a better understanding of players?
I have to disagree appley re: putting Boycey in at CB.
He’s been fantastic for us at RB going forward and 95% of the time defending.. So to take him out and put in Stam who is nothing short of a rubbish midfielder would present another problem in itself.
Has anyone noticed how often the CB’s get pulled out of position to cover wingers running down left and right wings (mostly Figs) when facing a counter attack, which leaves us low on numbers when the ball gets put in the box??
I think its one of our most serious problems in the defence and the only thing I could suggest putting aside buying a new defensive line is pressing the point that the holding midfielder needs to get further back when it is the right time and if a CB comes out to defend a wing the other winger needs to come in and take over that Central position.
All in all some players seem reluctant to over lap and cover positions when it is needed.
May be its MartineZ philosophy to blame , I dont know?!!??!
But we need to learn to switch between a defensive attitude and then when we have control of the ball go back to the “good” attacking football we have been playing…
But hey what do I know… lets just sack the manager switch to 442 and everything else will work itself out :pinch:
Ill back my teams players and managers as far as possible but considering I wanted Diouf’s head on a pike for spitting at Arry and we are a family club… I think we should do something off our own back about it despite the obvious ban coming…
for one he should never grace the captains armband again.
Funny how the “darkside” brigade come out in full force after a string of bad results but I dont remember anyone asking for Martinez’s head after he proved them wrong to keep us up last season, or did formations etc not matter at that point???…
Im all for opinions but some of the stuff people come out with on here are borderline insanity….
switch to 442!! gotta be the most tactically naive statement since Sam Allardyce last opened his mouth!
Put Boyce in at CB he is a rock! Stam can attack at RB!! …. Stupidity doesnt even sum this up…
All in all I want Martinez to do well and will back him until the end while we are still putting in competitve performances ! which is something I couldnt say about Steve Bruce’s time in charge…
If you want someone to blame which obviously you all do then blame Rodallega for missing a golden chance blame Ali for slapping the ball back out into the box to be slotted home ( yes he played brilliant yesterday but taking the sting out of a shot and not slapping it past all your defenders is basic goalkeeping)Blame the three players (Diame Ghouri forgot the other) who stood watching as Ali made a brilliant string of saves while the Wolves players grew in numbers inside the box…
I think individual players need to shoulder the blame for indivdual stupid errors !!! its easy to throw it all against Martinez but it doesnt get you anywhere does it ! Roberto wont be sat at home saying im a shit manager blah blah blah he will be looking into the reasons why and how he can change it ! and switching to 442 is not one of those things when your “general” performances for the last 3 games have been very good!
Rant over
Darkside… KISS MY ARSE
“yea i have noted bobs new overall of our club working very well
keep it up bob”Bob wearing overall’s???
Keeping Wigan in the premiership, its a dirty job but someone has to do it!
Martinez knows what he is doing make no mistake about it!
Makes me laugh whe people criticise his positivity… what do you want him to say??? “lets face it were punching above our weight and its going to happen sooner or later?”
If you want an example of this look at how he is handling Kirkland…. the lad is probably one of our top earners and Martinez is doing everything he can to get him off the books , personally I would go one step further and take the number 1 off him at start of the season but maybe that would be disrespectful considering he has been good to this club not only on the pitch but in his “charity” work around the town…
but putting that all aside hes not fit to train fully and we cant depend on him to be available all the time.
Not too shabby at all
All the darksiders should note the fantastic overhaul from top to bottom Martinez has done to this club…
Do you think old bent nose had the same policies? no he wanted a good season or two before he could move on to “better things” …
I also think there is a lack of real gossip from within the club, no hints of team news, signings in the pipeline or bust ups.
Are we now the dullest club in England?
the football we play is ![/quote]
I think you have a virus….. been getting some really wierd emails from you….[/quote]Yup think you’ve come down with a bad case of miserablegitisis loudmouth….
Struggle to watch a full England game nowadays got switched over to Family Guy half way through second half last night…
Reminds me of when there were rumours we might take a punt on Goater …
Saying that it puts it in to perspective how far we have come as a club since then…
Anyway we are not talking about Fabregas or anyone world class were talking about a player who cant get a game for team I am expecting to finish below us this season!! and were talking about the guy who spat in arguably one of our best ever players faces!!!!!!
f3ck him !!! :angry-boxing:
I wasn’t being negitive on Gomez, just saying he ain’t a winger. I thought his game on Saturday was good and to be fair, young Jimmy Mac wil struggle to reclaim that spot if Gomez carries on (and why would you change it). He did fade towards the end before he was subbed. There were a few mistakes and lack of willingness to make the tackle but he had put a shift in for the first 60 minutes.
keep it up and he can become a latics legend.
He will never be a Latics legend as long as you have a hole in your arris !! He is Championship standard at best accept it !! I don’t boo him or get on his back but I do sit there thinking ” What the fcuk is RM doing starting him every game ” !!![/quote]
no pleasing some people … :roll:
