They looked dispirited and played that way throughout the game last night.
Not once did I feel they would breach a very very ordinary WBA side who looked two leagues above Latics last night.
6 points adrift and absolutely no chance of staying in this division , another relegation , 5th in 10 years, getting rather p****d off with it now !!
Something is very wrong with this bunch and the sooner the better summer comes and the expected clear out the better.72% possession , 2 corners and only 3 shots on target ?
Says everything about where the problems in the team are.
Boring to watch isn’t the word and the faults in the team remain and won’t be corrected unless major changes are made.Shocking first half performance , so bad that I wandered into the concourse for a beer well before the finish.
Tip tappy back and forth in our own half and as negative as you could have got and all when a goal behind.
Better second half but the fact remains we have about as much cutting edge as a polystyrene dagger and no amount of coaching or throwing teacups around is going to change that.Keep hoping for the turnaround but just can’t see it despite recent improvement in form.
Can only do so much with this lot and I am afraid they had better start planning for league 1 next season because that is where we are going in my opinion.
Saturday was a golden opportunity and we didn’t take it , everybody’s whipping boy at this level and I’m expecting the same on Saturday.
Sorry to be so negative .Rotherham beating Blunderland 2-0
Adrift by 4 if that stays the same ,absolute must win now on SaturdayThree sitters missed is all we hear but we forget how good those saves were from their goalkeeper.
End of the day SM has to treat every game like a cup final and play with same intensity which will catch one or two out i think.
PNE is a massive game and a huge opportunity , big away following , has to be 3 points this saturday !Disappointed is the word with yesterday of points dropped because the team was outstanding in the first half and defended the onslaught brilliantly in the second half.
Three brilliant saves made by the usual premier league standard keeper at a parachute payment club was the difference.
The players did the right things but our team lacks quality in the final third and Maloney will have to try And work on this major fault in the team now he has the back line sorted.
I have noticed a cup final like intensity since he arrived though which is now filtering to the crowd and this is good thing but those forwards need to start firing in the goals.
Have a chance but not much room for error now with the games running out.I think the remaining fixtures offer a good few opportunities for some points especially when some teams are coming into that spell were they realise the play offs are out of the question but have enough points to stay up.
A few weeks ago i said we have no chance however i am not so sure now after seeing the massive improvement seen we have had under Maloney and his coaching team. Its a remarkable turnaround and he looks and sounds like a born football manager and we may have unearthed a real nugget management wise.
He has addressed the intensity and effort and more importantly organisation , we even have seen Fletcher get a scruffy but important goal and who would have predicted that a few weeks back ?
Charlie Hughes looks like the find of the decade and it so heartening to see Latics producing talent of this calibre and its our future and worth embracing by the owners.
The lack of goals though for me remains the problem but he has no options really now the window is closed other than trying out a reserve or two or hoping Fletcher now gets into some kind of groove and starts banging them in.
A win tomorrow would be a huge step forward and the biggest of the season however a point wouldn’t be a disaster because its those games against the likes of Rotherham , PNE , Reading etc that will determine our fate.src=”https://www.cockneylatic.co.uk/wp-content/plugins/wp-monalisa/icons/wpml_whistle3.gif”><noscript><img src=’https://www.cockneylatic.co.uk/wp-content/plugins/wp-monalisa/icons/wpml_whistle3.gif’ alt=’:whistle:’ width=
I still can’t get me ed round Leam’s sacking, just doesn’t make sense. So good luck to Kolo, but you have a lot a fans who are like me, bitter about Leam going. Best way to shut us up is by winning the league :)

SZe plays in midfield an area long overdue a shake up and has had some very good reviews.
He should be making the bench at least now .I keep saying it and saying it , the development squad is producing proper raw talent and our best players this season have come from that source in my opinion.
The thinking in football now is that “you’re in the under 23 squad “ and then they get left there?
CW raises a good point there about Hughes and that Kolo had a look but if I was Maloney I’d be looking constantly because I firmly believe that’s our best source of footballer.
A good striker is needed very badly and we might already have him.
