Great chance to right some wrongs from previous years. 

Bolton 3 Wigan 0 😊

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

Evatt can now see where our shortcomings are and perhaps that performance is what was needed to do this.   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.

Aye

No lessons learned from the previous fixture whatsoever

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.

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

Th'East Midlands Whites are just back and are drinking quite heavily

Still fucking fuming me

And me.

I wonder if Evatt and the club understand how many hard-won credits they've pissed away with one afternoon of gutless football?

I’d love to know what methods their coaching staff use to fire up their players before they play us at our stadium.

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.

I was thinking more about our local derby motivational methods - or lack of them

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.

A side note

Evatt is piling some weight on.

Fatty bum bum

19 from 69 against the top 6 since we've been in  league 1

we simply need a plan b against the better sides, he needs to admit defeat and accept his method won't always work 

 

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.

We do. They just either didn't start on Saturday or played like rabbits in the headlights. 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.

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

Pies can gloat all they want, were 2nd equal points with top, their 19th. Shocking performance on the day. Its gone on to Burton for 3 pionts.
