Doidge just looks off the pace completely but he can finish, given some service. Donaldson worked hard the other day but never looks like scoring. We're clutching at straws really - which is the best combination from a poor bunch??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not been on here for a while - I get too depressed when we constantly lose so the issue of Red button may have already been addressed - but just in case. Red button is for Championship midweek matches only and always corresponds with Champions League fixtures. I reckon Sky Sports are covering games simply to piss BT Sport off by distracting fans of Championship clubs from watching Citeh Scum etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Casino Posted December 28, 2018 Moderators Share Posted December 28, 2018 I understood it was just normal midweek stuff but they had a main game plus about 6 on the button while we were playing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianovit Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I haven`t fully researched it but it does seem to fall the same week as Champions League fixtures. Just checked and our next midweek fixture (discounting New Years Day) is at Birmingham on 12 Feb before Champions League resumes in March so if the match is on Red Button my theory is flawed/incorrect. Incidentally I wondered at the time why our game v Forest was played on Wednesday 24 October rather than our normal Tuesday evening. I believe Sky want 6 games on Tue & 6 on Wed to ensure full coverage so dictated Wanderers had to play on the following evening. I could easily be wrong.........

Moderators Zico Posted December 28, 2018 Moderators Share Posted December 28, 2018 (edited) Looks like there are no more than 7 on at a time which might be the max number of red button channels https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/7065212/sky-sports-red-button-championship-boxing-day-live-stream-watch-ifollow/ There's a limited number of red button channels on IPTV as well, will have to check how many Edit: there are 9 Edited December 28, 2018 by ZicoKelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't see what Donaldson brings in the final third, no goals and don't recall any assists Works hard but with little to show for it, I'd have Buckley in before him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone else in or around that battle signs a player more effective than which we have , does this not disadvantage us? By adding to a squad weakens them in your arguement which helps us? And we were weakened by madine? Did he keep someone better out the team or again am I missing how precisely he weakened us? Definitely. Because parky was obsessed with him so it absolutely weakened us. Signing pratley weakened us, it kept others out of the team, for arguments sake Vela or Karacan. Ditto Trotter. Surely you can see how signing a poor player weakens a team, i'd love Madine to go to Wigan, just look how Heskey made us weaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at most of the players in previous seasons who’ve left the club the vast majority turn up further down the leagues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said signing madine would make them relegation candidates how about them losing the last 4 games including one against rock bottom Ipswich them strikers you take over madine are doing a mighty fine job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyrotten Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I agree Mounts, but the point raised by casino is that the players parky doesn't pick won't find a better club, but the players he does pick also won't find another club so the argument is irrelevant in my opinion. Apart from Ameobi and Hobbs to be fair to them, championship standard payers in anyone's book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyrotten Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 You said it was a bizarre statement. Wigan are struggling currently. If the limit of their ambition is to sign a striker with no pace who can't shoot i'd be happy that they will continue to struggle. How their current strikers are doing isn't the point, i'd be more concerned if they signed ALF or Nugent or Billy Kee or Danny Hilton i.e. a goalscorer.

Madine can hold the ball up better than anything they (or we) currently have.Wigan currently have 3 or 4 of there first choice starting 11 out injured (mate of mine is a fan) If they sign Marine and get the likes of Powell and Griggs playing off him, they will scored the goals to stay up. That's "simple" We'll struggle to attract a forward/player with any proven championship goals scoring quality. So are basically going to have struggle through to the end of the season with what we have. (Very little goals in the team) That again is "simple", I don't see how any of the bottom six signing or improving can be of benefit to us............

Zohore etc started scoring again and £6m was cheap for them when you get £120m+ for going up. And it was a lifesaver for us of course.
