Agree with all the intelligentcomments above, all put better than I ever could.
In many respects last night reminded me of the dark days of early 90s pre Whelan but at least that bunch tried and sweated for their team.
They are a team so lacking any feature of what we have come to expect from a team representing Wigan Athletic that I actually felt pity for Burton going in at the break somehow a goal behind.
Only Hughes with his incredible passing range ( wasted mostly)and Tickle came out of that with any credit and but for Tickle it may well have been 4 or 5 against.
One of the worst performances of the last 30 years in my view that last night.Dear me how bad was that ?
A total lack of ideas and an extreme lack of power or intensity.
Bristol Rovers looked a cut above and we never got near them and some of the play was beyond naive.
Not sure why they played so badly today and I will take 5th bottom right nowReality check really because I think a few especially after the Bolton game started to misguidedly expect promotion.
Let’s get real , no chance ,
scarred by the numerous relegations and admin for this season success will be staying up and that is it.
From there it’s kick on again and early signs are good but expect some weird results which is what you always get with a team in transition.
Staying up is number one priority for me and developing the academy set up.A coffee and Madri last Saturday was nearly a tenner , unbelievable !
Used to be able to go out on a Friday night and have 6 pints of lager a bag of chips and ten cigs and still have some change from a fiver !
Inflation calculator tells me that in real terms that fiver would be worth £15 today meaning prices have gone through the roof haven’t they?
6 pints of lager , a bag of chips and ten cigs would be comfortably double that and more today.Would take great pleasure in a victory over Barnsley, no pre match preamble needed for this one , just remind the players of 2020.
That should be enough !A great turnaround yesterday and Callum’s goal was one of those memorable moments that will stick in the mind for a long time.
The performance lacked intensity for the first hour and they lapped that up and could easily have been two or three up by then with the missed chances they had.
The changes upped the tempo with more direct play and it led to a barnstorming finish worthy of any Latics team.
The sooner the better the points deduction is erased the better, hopefully at Carlisle in midweek and then on to our ‘mates’ at Horwich.I wouldn’t read to much into the game last night as a reflection of the squad and how things might pan out going forward.
I thought the intensity seen on Saturday was missing and some players seemed to treat it as a friendly in my opinion.
The EFL cup is now a non event , look at the attendances across the board last night and the prize of playing a premier league reserve team doesn’t hold much Sheen anymore.
The game on Saturday is much bigger as the sooner that points deduction is wiped away the better.
Certain they will strengthen a bit more as some of the younger players don’t look ready just yet but we have found an absolute gem in that goalkeeper Tickle which is a massive positive and a fantastic defender in Hughes.
Just pleased to emphasis being now back at pitch level rather than off it.
Loads to be upbeat about, up the tics.After many delays and mind wrestling I decided to renew mine this morning so rang the ticket office and paid the money.
Lady who took my payment said they are all going out this week.Wyke was superb today and dare I say the lads seemed to play with a new freedom not seen for a good while.
Stand out today was the superb Tickle , must be more nuggets in that development squad surely !
Great start and a fantastic performance.Leythers v Wigan would be a good one, isn’t the rivalry harsher between Leigh and Wigan ?
