A very poor result that has been on the cards for many weeks arguably since the Cambridge away game.
I hope it is just a blip and we are simply not getting the ‘rub of the green’ at the minute, two clear cut chances missed and some very iffy decisions.
Pressure is on now and he needs to shake it up massively for Saturday.BTW Goals galore why not keep these amusing posts going for every game?
Best post I’ve read in a while
Agree 100% , play both teams and stuff it up the bar stewards !!!Great post Goals , shades of a disgraced Radio football correspondent who wrote in muchthe same way.
The players that got the club to Wembley In the tournament I’d expect to play there.
I also agree that bringing under 21 sides has devalued this competition beyond The Micky mouse category in my view.
If we get to the final play the kids and give them some vital experience and the supporters who want to have a nice day out.In any division of football the period after the turn of the year is harder as teams start to fight promotion and relegation battles.
Reality kicks in and we have seen from the last two games how teams can hurt us when they play direct route one style.
Every game from here will be as tough and the manager needs to
Bring them down to earth because despite the win yesterday I felt we showed a lackadaisical approach after we went 2 up.
Could easily have gone in at half time 3 or 4 up and game finished.
They obviously picked up on that and got back into the game and I’m thinking we will have many games like the one yesterday in the run in.
That said the character this Latics team has is arguably the best I have ever witnessed in my 40 plus years of watching the club and it was that that grabbed the win yesterday when things were not going well.
Big month coming up and a very tough run of fixtures, a crucial part of the season for me.Great win tonight against a team fighting the relegation battle already and who gave it a fantastic go.
The lad Greg Leigh gave us so many problems and they looked weaker when he went off but he was one of several who stood out for them in my view.
A few scouts will be flocking to see them based on what i witnessed last night.In league 1 i think we are a fairly big fish to players moving around at this level with the big ground etc.
Added to the fact the club appears to be going places at a fast pace and its no surprise that players are happy to sign for the club.Be lovely to go to Wembley and the comp has a sentimental appeal to the supporters due to it being the first Wembley victory achieved back in 1985.
From a supporter perspective and mine it’s go and win it but This is low on the priority list surely.
A tough one for the manager to weigh up given the trophy represents a much smaller financial gain.
Play a reserve team is
My view.Great game and day out and turn out from Blackburn very very good.
The little melee after our second goal in ES2 reminded me of the old terrace days in the seventies.
Great performance from our lads in the second half against a very decent Blackburn side.
A cup tie that will live long in the memory that one.Hopefully a great new year for all Latics supporters although the fixture congestion will be a test and the club needs to get some players in now to cope.
Tuesdays blocked out for next three months !
