TM Trotter Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 1 minute ago, Tonge moor green jacket said: That also suggests work on the training pitch was ineffective. Seems like a lack of understanding. Can't disagree. So many things went wrong yesterday that it's almost irrelevant. Just an observation that probably demonstrates that I'm still in the "bargaining" stage of grief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Zico Posted August 20, 2023 Moderators Share Posted August 20, 2023 Next two home games are against "top six" teams as well so we'll soon know if yesterday was a blip or if we have similar problems to last season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I trust evatt to sort this and next Saturday is the perfect chance to show this. It's difficult but let's move on lads. I really hope you're right but what stopped him seeing our shortcomings in this exact fixture 2 years ago? I can forgive defeat, I can forgive a gubbing in a derby game or an important match. I'm a Wanderers fan, I'm used to it, it happens. It shouldn't ever feckin happen twice though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fester58 Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 the problems yesterday started with there formation, as soon as our fullbacks tried to push forward our back 3 were exposed against a decent front four for them. its fucking shit losing to them bastards.

Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted August 20, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted August 20, 2023 Wigan's forward players are as good as anything in the league. Hughes looks a quality centre half and won't stay with them too long. A small squad and lacking experience will be their downfall this season. If they keep hold of their better players, they'll piss the league next season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twice now at our place they have come out like raging bulls & perfectly motivated to be playing in a local derby, our lads on the other hand seem to just treat it as any other game and didn’t look particularly arsed that they were being battered.

The concern is that after the first goal went and nothing changed IE didn’t change things, we were wide open in midfield, swapping to a flat back four, putting an extra body in midfield may not have changed the result or the score, but to leave it till halftime was shocking.

Site Supporter Spider Posted August 21, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted August 21, 2023 Right It’s done now. A MASSIVE wake up call that might just be the catalyst for promotion. Maybe a good thing that we got this smack in the face so early in the season. If Evatt is as good as he thinks he is, he now has a full season to ensure there are no repeats of this utter fucking bumbling shitshow. When we win the league, we may well look back on this and thank those tinpot cunts down the road for spurring us on. Positives lads, positives.

Farrelli Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 That has seriously dented my confidence and I’m a happy clapper. I was convinced we had the players for automatic promotion but I’m not so sure now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No other team in this League will be as pumped up to play us as Wigan were on Saturday. Serious fucking let down which needs addressing, but let's not write them off 4 games into the season when we're still joint top of the league.

Mantra Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Still not sure how to really process it tbh. I haven’t allowed myself get too down about it because it’s early days and we and gave them some really cheap goals. It was a bit like the polar opposite of the Sunderland 6-0, that day everything went right, on Saturday everything went wrong. doubt many of you will watch back the highlights but goal 1: Dempsey loses his marker and Iredale and Santos inexplicably avoid the ball at the near post goal 2: Jones gets bullied by Lang for strength (twice!!) the second of which Morley does an accidental through ball to Lang. Not dissimilar to what Bakayoko did for the first goal last time they beat us 4-0 goal 3: just what the fuck is that. Catalogue of errors there. Don’t know where to even begin. goal 4: Just summed up the day. Keeper saves it only for it to loop slowly into the corner. Jones had a stinker of a game, honestly never been so pissed off at him. Everything he did was wrong. Bad passes into the strikers particularly who aren’t blameless. But you’d think after the first 2 or 3 times he would’ve learned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
