Appointing a new manager who still hasn’t a win under his belt after 4 games and has now resorted to having no recognised striker on the pitch?
Don’t you think that’s because he didn’t inherit any recognised strikers and he sees more striker quality and chances of a goal in the likes of McManaman and McLean than Delort, Riera and Fortune? What exactly are his options up front for Saturday?[/quote]
Head. Wall. Against. Wall.
Haven’t you realised yet that the obvious answer is to let a bunch of keyboard nerds pick the team and tactics because clearly letting someone with years of professional experience do it is a nonsense.[/quote]
I think we have turned into the North west version of the toon army
I often think “oh dear” when you post and get constantly shown up only to argue the point over and phookin over again :S
with Bruce invited into the audience, about Hull’s precious history making debut in the final last year –
with the draw taking place in Hull maybe that’s the reason Bruce was invited into the audience also even though they could of made an mention they did not have coverage of the FA Cup when we won the bloody thing
MALKY Mackay admitted some of his misfiring Wigan Athletic players are ‘playing for their futures’ after Saturday’s 1-0 home reversal to Norwich.
The misery surrounding the DW Stadium continued with a dismal defeat to an out-of-form Canaries outfit, who hardly had to get out of first gear to pick up only their second win in 11 matches.
Jonny Howson’s goal after just five minutes means Latics have now won only once in their last 15 outings and are three points adrift of safety in the Championship.
“There’s 10 players out of contract at the end of the season so they’re definitely playing for their futures,” Mackay told the Evening Post.
“Every time a player crosses that line in a Wigan Athletic shirt, they are playing for their futures.
“There’s no given in this game, and over time I will assess everything.
“I’m only three weeks into the job, and what I have got is a group of players who are honest, who want to work hard and want to be here.
“I’ve not taken over a fractured dressing room. Everyone here wants the best for Wigan Athletic.”
Mackay also confirmed he will be looking to do business in the upcoming transfer window – although he did warn of the dangers of pursuing a quick-fix.
“If we can, we’ll certainly look to tweak the squad,” the Latics boss revealed.
“January is an interesting window in terms of the pool of players out there.
“You’ve got to be careful about the type of character you go for, and take into account why someone is available.
“There is the freshness aspect, though, and if we are able to do one or two then we will do.
“But it will always be linked to the financial prudence at the club, and will depend on outs as well.
“The squad here is maybe too big, and over time it will be reshaped.”
Latics, who are 23rd in the ladder, are next in action on Saturday when they travel to sixth-placed Watford.
Seriously today after doing an 12 hour night shift then having a couple of hours kip and watching that shyte I did an phyllis moss and phooked off at 86 minutes the last straw being taking off a forward and putting on a midfielder if you can call him that
It’s about time they supplied pepper at the DW for the half time Bovril any one else notice they jacked the price up 40p coz it was cold bloody rubbish Wigan
