Did well to withstand that pressure which was very encouraging but man of match for me was again Sam Tickle.
So many times he made why looked like routinesaves from shots and bounces but they were anything but on that weather. as they dug in and his distribution was superb.
He makes the job of goalkeeper look so easy and I reckon his contribution won the points yesterday and he was easily man oft the match for me.
A real nugget we have got there , let’s hope we have a few more in that development squad.Poor game played in dreadful conditions but the goal was a rare moment of quality and very well worked and Thelo took advantage of some bad defending score a very good goal.
Always good to beat Barnsley and even more so since the shenanigans of 2020.
One swallow doesn’t make a summer however positives are that league 1 is one of the worst for many years and a couple of back to back wins could take a club near the play offs as much as a couple of defeats could take you nearer the relegation zone.I am also Not really interested in any of this pointless PR bull**** , women’s teams, all hold hands with the chubs , one town , joint season tickets blah blah blah !
It in my view it just deflects things away from the main problem facing Latics at the moment and we all know what it is.
Let’s face it , this team of kids are a reserve team that are being asked to play and compete at the third highest standard in the English pyramid and without some serious input in the January transfer window are very likely going to be at the foot of the fourth tier in one years time.
No PR or deflecting is going to change that very simple fact and there really is only one issue for me.
Get the team sorted and fast please !!!Aeful negative football last night that is boring to watch and a zillion miles away from the cut and thrust Latics teams of the past.
Massive signs now that this policy is going to produce lower home crowds and eventually league 2 football , slippery quick fire decline unless this policy is reversed and quick !
i just cannot see the sense of it , clubs at EFL level are not self sufficient and arguably have never been so unless you are a club like Bradford with 18,000 every other week at home or a club with parachute payments.
I keep reading on here about tactics etc but the problems are much deeper than that in my opinion.I agree , he needs to find ways of placing those lads around the first team especially as most of the current bunch will be history this time next year.
We are crying out for a bustling centre forward like Stones in the first team and he may as well try them
Out here and there.Couldn’t see anything wrong with that goal I agree.
let’s though applaud the excellent defensive display from Latics.
They pummelled that left hand side in the second half and created a cluster of chances and but for solid defending could have scored two or three.
There are negatives , our forward play lacked bite and the final balls were woeful at times.
A very strong physical team Stockport who probably bully teams into submission however I felt our young lads mixed it physically so
For me it’s a very good point won.Hate Tuesday games with a passion, the walk to the ground in the dark over that horrible bridge depresses you before you even get in , flattest night of the week and so easy to stay at home on a winters night.
International breaks should be scrapped and a return to the midweek slots that worked so well before.
Everything is geared for the top clubs in my view and this is one of those annoyances.Really good performance.
A similar game to the Bristol Rovers one with high intensity attacking and positive attitudes.
Plenty of mistakes but rather see that and having a go than sideways and pass backs to avoid them.
Peterborough must have gone in at half time wondering how they they were not 3 goals to the good as they had far the better of it with that superb save from
Man of the match Tickle the turning point.
On to in form Stockport and anticipation now rather than trepidation.Nathan Byrne was a great player at whipping in quick and dangerous crosses mostly from the right and Will Grigg lapped them up from memory in 2017 – 2018 season.
That player is currently at a club in USA , id have him back tomorrow.
Not rocket science but football is in my view a simple game complicated and ruined by fools and over coaching.
