I prefer the following article.
… for letting Fregussen off.
Has Mr Whelan been giving Bobby lessons and will the MUFC Chief be a bit disgruntled.
Martinez has said he thinks that Sir Alex hold too much power in English football.
I think Mr Whelan might be having word with Martinez about that.
Aye and playing Scott Sinclair (out wide obv) would be even better imoSo, out of the team which started against Man City who would you drop to accommodate Sinclair?
Yes, me too.
I only discovered it the other day but it’s very amusing.
What do those people do for a living?Pat Gavin…………..must lead the line,
Jeff Wright,
Dave Mcmullen
Nigel Hart
Billy Urquhart
Jeff Powell..(was it Jeff?)
All Kenny Swain signings………….Quite frankly the team under Swain was Latics worst team in history!
Kenyon was a gobshite,
and as for Stephen Gage,wtf did he ever get involved in football?
Jeff Wright? Really?
Did you ever see him play?[/quote]
Yes
and
Yes.[/quote]I don’t really know on what you are basing your opinion. Jeff Wright was a very good footballer, probably one of the best passers, of his time, ever to play for Wigan Athletic. The fact that he wasn’t considered aggressive enough and didn’t get “stuck in” clouded many people’s judgement of him. I think if he was playing in today’s game with its less physical demands people would view him differently.

Did you ever see him play?We have some young kids who could get a run and would be ahead of Marlon in the pecking order.
Clearly not, or they would be on the bench ahead of him, wouldn’t they?[/quote]
But I suppose it has to be seen to be justified considering he’s on £38k per week. (head shaking uncontrollably as I type….!)Pollitt …last night…shocking. Kirky all is forgiven.Kirkland is most certainly the best keeper at the club, but whether he is Premiership class is another matter. He looks and plays like he has a brush steel up his back; a back so fragile he cannot train properly. I just don’t see how a goalkeeper can possibly compete at this level with such an injury. A pity because he had the potential to be up there with the best.
Bramble looked like a disaster waiting to happen tonight. Bruce got him playing no nonsense football and he was fine. I don’t think I’ve seen a player look so uncomfortable as he did tonight.
Leaving aside the performance, the most alarming aspect was how unconvincing the players looked playing that style of football. And the body language from some of them said it all, especially Brown who went straight down the tunnel after he was subbed. Martinez has a mountain to climb and it’s even steeper if he’s got dissent in the dressing room.
For god sake, why do people contradict themselves so much? After the Villa game everyone said, “Amazing how comfortbale on the ball everyone looked compared to last year.” Now completely the opposite, after 1 bad result. Why are Wiganers so fickle?[/quote]
Well I didn’t go to the Villa match and therefore didn’t post any comments so didn’t contradict myself. My observations were made after watching last night’s game and what I saw wasn’t good.
Maybe Villa stood off and gave us more time on the ball. Maybe Man U will do the same on Saturday and people will comment how amazingly comfortable the players looked on the ball. However, last night, against a team playing the style of football typical of our relegation contenders we were awful playing the style of football Martinez is keen to adopt.Bramble looked like a disaster waiting to happen tonight.
