Crap first half much the same as we have seen recently.
The second half was much better and the second Latics goal was superb and well worked.
Charlton looked a decent side who I would expect to be amongst it next season so no mean feat getting a point on their ground.
All that said I’m going to be positive and just say last night represented a milestone in that safety from relegation has been achieved once and for all.
That’s what he set out to do at the start of the season and that is what he has achieved with not much to work with.
At least we still have a club in the EFL not the Pub team standard of the NW counties.I seem to remember a game at home at the end of the 1995-96 season against Northampton Town.
Whelan had backed the then manager John Deehan very heavily in the transfer market and expectations were starting to rise.
Lost narrowly 2-1 and failed to make the play offs by a very narrow margin.
My main memory of this was after the game when a WIGAN RL fan was stood on his gate gloating at the very silent crowd as it passed his house near the ground.
He made then made a daft comment which was responded to very sharply with “ at least we’re not f*****g bankrupt” at which point the Rugby man beat a fast retreat as the grog was making moves to fill him in.Absolutely dire performance again , season end cannot come quickly enough.
Good luck trying to sell season tickets next season.Worst performance this season!
World beaters Fleetwood with the non league standard ground made to look like Real Madrid , they must have thought it was Christmas again with all the gifts provided.
Lack of effort and fight , joke of a performance and fans should be refunded !I saw the altercation at the bridge and could see fists flying about and agree not the sort of thing that will fill our ground with families and kids and the south stand looked very spartan last night.
I thought the policing was abysmal last night compared to recent encounters with Bolton though , not sure of the sense of allowing their supporters to converge at the bridge after the game with obvious results.One of the great nights that last night and one bit of real quality decided the game.
Relegation fears were probably buried for good last night and maybe time for Maloney to be a bit more adventurous particularly against poorer teams from now on.The home performances have been shocking lately and I’m struggling to see this bunch beating Bolton this Tuesday.
The first half against Cheltenham was one of the flattest and worst performances I have seen from ANY Latics team for many many years , so bad I almost left at half time.
Not sure why they play so badly at home and without effort or intensity.
Tuesday would have been the Sort of game for Lang and Wyke both experienced players but both no longer here and they always played really well against Bolton.
A draw I’d the very best hope for me.Was like the Alamo near the end of that game but the lads did well to keep them out.
A major thing for any manager is whether the team gives their all and they certainly did that yesterday.
Onto Cheltenham this Friday and then Bolton and knowing this Latics team we can guess which game they will probably win out of those two.
