Wigan Athletic Post Match Thoughts

[MillerBill]

Not being allowed to bring in a striker was the straw that broke the camel's back for Warney.That was so obvious today,we had nothing at all.A well drilled team,not the prettiest but effective, beat us today.The quicker we get Taylor in the better BUT he must be backed by this chairman.A lot of disgruntled fans left before the whistle was blown.

First half thought we matched them but second half faded away. We looked rudderless. Don’t blame the players or park time managers . We are a championship club but act like a Sunday league outfit regarding a new manager. If I’ve got this right we have offered the job to the Exeter manager but tony Stewart goes on radio Sheffield and says they are interested in dean holden. Haven’t listened to the interview so only heard it second hand. Is this correct.

It was all a bit similar ! Started with Same subs not making bench Odoffin, Bola, and McCart, same formation, same first sub was Rathbone, Eaves for Washington, players who hardly put a shift in staying on the park for 96 minutes.

I said if we lost today Warne would be held responsible ! Unfortunately he has saddled us with Eaves for three years ! Burnley offering 2 million for Wiles should have been snapped up with open Arms ? Don’t think we had any offers for Chieo but the man is stealing a living on today’s performance, constantly diving to the floor. Somebody has to take control quickly because we are fading away, new ideas needed and selection based on performances required, Wood can’t play both roles, one or the other?
Wigan are a good outfit, well balanced with quality players throughout 4 away wins on the trot confirms that, they just outmanoeuvred us today, with a bit more quality at the ***** times which proved pivotal.

Couldn’t agree more. Eaves may come good, but Kelly should be above him in the pecking order right now. Don’t understand why Bola wasn’t on the bench. McCart must be wondering what he has done. Agree on Wiles as well - should have sold him in the summer if an offer came in. All he did today was add to his growing repertoire of mis-kicks.

We have a good 23-man squad, but at the moment some players appear untouchable in terms of selection.

Here he is. Rinse and repeat.

One last time. PW was offered numerous strikers but didn't want any of them, he said that. Others unaffordable or didn't want to come. Get that into your skull. Jheez.

Ashley Fletcher looked good on the bench!

Kelly needs to put in a transfer request.


He must have been sat on the bench today looking at Ogbene's non performance thinking " what the feck do I have to do"

Bang on! But not Ogbenes fault as his true position is xx out wide right.

One on here agrees with me about Bramall mostly terrible he said can't argue with that. I'm not only one on here can't believe McCart isn't starting not even on bench today it's crazy. Kelly must be another abit disillusioned. Players know if they should be starting or not if they should & aren't then they want to go somewhere were they will be.

Beaten by the better team and we were fortunate it was only by 2 goals.
No energy and consistently gave the ball away cheaply, but they did press us well, the sooner we get a new manager in the better. UTM

Sad to see so many fans streaming out long before the final whistle.
