proper football afternoon 3pm kick off ,driving wind and rain and a hard fought performance that gives real hope that things are turning.
Nichols was once again absolutely superb in goal and another great performance from Powell.Hull couldn’t have a better manager to keep them up.
I think he probably has the safest job in football at the moment as who could do a better job at an outpost like Hull than Bruce?
Very very underrated managerInformation for the away tie in Kazan from the home office

Minimise the risks
Some important information to note:•Security at the Stadium will be strict and uncompromising – refrain from antagonising the police even if you believe you are in the right
Hope the little mob that are travelling on that train to the game from Moscow stick together -sounds like they will have to!
:blink: :blink: :blink:[/quote]Hollaway looks like he needs a holiday back home in the south west ,as for Coyle, most games were on top but some games sh*te, It’ll come in the end and I can see us going on an unbeaten run, but can you imagine this squad in the prem !!! didn’t think so,here’s for 3 pts tonight thoughI thought last night against Kazan we looked like a lower ranking Premier league side in standard so we are more than capable of going back there.
Coyle seems to be slowly building something so he should be given the season which is fair in my view.
Nearly the end of October and we are unbeaten at home!!!!
A long time since we could say thatIffy spell in the first half but a great second half from all the players particularly Watson who had a great game.
this competion is now becoming the forefront of the season and the gate was very good last night when you consider no away fans attended .
We should have won the game and I dont see why we should fear going out there in November.It now seems that promotion to the so called ‘ promised land’ is a death knell for the managers concerned. I heard he got booed on Monday which was probably from the hangers on who turn up at every club when they get promotion to the big league the disappear agin when times get tough!
Not sure any manager could do much better here with the club in transition .They have only been narrow defeats and to be honest we could easily be sat on a few more points if luck had ran our way. The home form has been superb…
But luck has run our way at home. Without it, we could easily have had several points fewer. The results may have been good, but the form has been indifferent.
Wigan 2 Doncaster 2 – Maloney free kick and last minute equalizer by Barnett
Wigan 2 Middlesbrough 2 – late equalizer from Gomez free kick
Wigan 2 Ipswich 0 – Carson Man of the Match; last minute goal by Powell to make game safe;
Wigan 2 Blackburn 1 – last minute winner by Boyce; Blackburn played with 10 men for an hourAnd none of these opponents are high fliers.[/quote]
Most of the above and Forest who were top of the league when we played them are fairly established Championship clubs and I don’t remember too many comfortable home or away wins the last time we played in this division.
if similar results had occurred away we would be sitting near the top of the league but I’m realistic and with the crop of players that have been brought in -the play offs is a realistic target this season.I agree time is the essence and lets see where we are in January and make our judgements then about our new manager and team.
I think that 4-0 drubbing of Barnsley on the opening day lifted expectations to ridiculous levels that were never going to be acheived given the away games at some very tough high flying teams even Bournemouth have done better than expected!
They have only been narrow defeats and to be honest we could easily be sat on a few more points if luck had ran our way.
.The home form has been superb 11 points from a possible 15 and if we kept up the present ratio we will be around the play off positions come the end of the season.Very few teams will fancy coming here and how long is it since we could say that?
My prediction is the play offs even without any additions in January but to be honest I’m not bothered I’m just enjoying it all and not taking it too seriously.let’s just enjoy the European campaign and the season as a whole rather than moaning about the unlucky away results.
Still think we can make the play offsMaybe the club could approach the Maribor club and try to get some more tickets to meet the demand as I bet the game won’t be a sellout.Id email the chief executive and ask him to approach the club to see if there is any more tickets because it seems a shame people will miss out.
far better than travelling to that dreadful crackhead ridden dump about 10 miles east !
So bad they built their new stadium nearer to Wigan town centre than their owns
I took the little lad to the illuminations on Thursday.You should spend as little time as possible in the shitehole if you’ve any sense. Horrific place.
disagree Tez ,the place has its issues like any seaside town in the uk But they have done up the seafront and the pubs always seem to be smart on the inside regardless of their exterior .The town has always been a bit seedy and grotty especially when the primary reason people go there is to get leathered and laid it isn’t going to be anything other is it?
I had a fantastic day the last time Latics played at Bloomfield rd (incidentally a ground we generally do well at)and saw a thumping away win that kick started a superb fight against the drop.
it’s what you make it and what a place to record our overdue away win which I’m sure we will get.I haven’t been impressed with him either but at least he’s an out and out striker which Powell obviously isn’t despite his 2 goals on Thursday.If Holt does play then I’d play McMananman and Jean Beau as the 2 wide players, Powell behind with McArthur and Watson holding.
Back 4 Perch at left back then 3 from Boyce, Barnett, Rogne and Shotton.
tion
Carson in goal obviously.BELIEVE !!!!!!!! :cheer:
I think we will win today as the pressure to gain promotion (unlike at the never never club QPR )isn’t there and isn’t being applied by the management.
They have had a good run but our back line should be able to cope with Rhodes and I think we will trouble them with or without Holt.
Good to have these games back
