Final stats show that Wigan had a lot more of the ball....and got it into good areas...hence they won 2-1

33-45 good attacks
43-57 possession........

However Notts had loads of chances but couldn't score more than the one goal

8-7 shots on target and 5-4 off target

Grant and Tootle (twice) could have scored, I don't remember Adam Collin making a save, Alessandra looked good, Wigan took their two chances on the break well, Alan Smith shouldn't be anywhere near the team as a striker at this point in pre season imo.

Disappointing to concede carbon copy goals from the only two real chances they had, but a mildly encouraging performance overall. Apart from the goal the two biggest cheers were when the ref finally gave Ameobi a free kick after an hour, and a stunning bit of close control and backheel in front of the main stand by Hollis.

Yes, I did say Hollis!

Poor turnout

This afternoon's attendance is 1,570 (125 visitors). Thank you for your support!

A "poor turnout" until you realise that some teams in our league struggle to average this in games that matter. Two friendlies in 4 days still costs money & it was a fantastic turnout on Wednesday! Another good run out & enjoyable game but we have learned very little, Ameobi is beginning to show his class which should be good news but we still cannot defend which is the bad news, as posted before I will reserve judgement until the season begins,but there is still work to be done.

but we still cannot defend which is the bad news,

Didn't think it was possible, but the defence is as bad as, if not worse than last season. Hollis just seems to get worse every season.

are you telling use that that usles lump can be any worse than last year

Hollis had a decent game today. Some on here decide he was useless before a ball has been kicked.

Alessandra scored the best goal of the three, he looks a decent addition.

Well at least we scored and created plenty. I see the favourites to storm league 2 with their WOW squad got hammered 4-0. We may not be as bad as some think. Time will tell.
