Wigan Athletic (A)

[Walkden White]

Good performance, new keeper looked sound, shape looked good, just need to improve finishing. Season defining moment?

[deeane Koontz]

Fantastic stuff. So much better than we have been recently 

[ianofcleveleys]

Far better shape today, suited us a lot more, got more out of more players, Conway, Dalby for example. Managed the last 10 minutes very well. McAtee and Dempsey did well when they came on. 

Wigan are abysmal

[kent_white]

Are we still sacking him then? 

Set of bloody wet wipes who voted yes! 

I told you Sheehan was shite! 😂

[waffer cup 07]

Easiest goalkeeping debut ever for Bonham.

[Hoppy]

The only way is up!!!!

[CumbrianWhite]

A proper away performance at last. Thought Dempsey and Mcatee both had really good cameos as well. 

[auckland_bwfc]

Cuban cigar time. 

[batton carrier]

Take a fucking bow lads,take a fucking bow.

Epic

Fantastic result, good enough performance and a team that at least looked like they were fighting and with the man in charge.

Can't fault much at all from today other than the missed chances.

[Lt. Aldo Raine]

Well done to SS for making changes and shutting up the endlessly negative twats on Twitter

Hopefully this result gets us back on track

[Didledee]

 Dominated the game, really one sided bar that one chance for Wigan, new keeper had no saves to make

That's our first away win all season vs 11 men in normal time without the opposition down a man or us having a extremely rare, perhaps once in a lifetime comeback win in added time with 2 goals, so it's a huge win and hopefully means something going forward.

It wasn't without fault of course, you'll not always get a deflected goal and without that we'd be ruing our misses again, but we won, so well done and on to Stevenage 👍

Well done SS and all concerned. What a way to end a shit run of results. Some bottle shown there today.

Second season running where we have given the pie men a gut punch of a late winner in their own backyard. 

You will all know that is three out of three against them now. I think that is the first time we have ever done that v them re league games. However did you know it is only the second time we have done the double over them? (92/3 Rioch promotion year was the other).

Just what was needed in the context of the season, especially given it has come away from home.

However for now let us just dwell on this result in isolation. Wigan 0 Bolton 1 - a pleasure to type it out. As I said last year, right back where it all began in the first ever fixture v them in 1983. We are making up for the Evatt years in this fixture.

[superjohnmcginlay]

They were solid today, was concerned we didn’t take the chances but some effort from Sheehan that too. 
 

well done. A few weeks frustration put to bed there…. Until Tuesday! 

Dalby held it up well today. 

[mickbrown]

Fully deserved that

[ianofcleveleys]

No reason to change anything at Stevenage, that shape worked, looked solid and gave us the platform to get more crosses in than usual from decent areas. Stevenage no free flowing outfit, go there and start from the premise of clean sheet first

We’re more open without Simons. 
One goal will win it for either side. 

I was a touch concerned when we took him off, as I reckon he was quietly playing the anchor man.

Anyway, deserved win, more solid, more aggression and fight. Still some finishing issues, but one goal is enough if we keep a clean sheet.

Well done to them all.

Hopefully, getting some off the books has helped.

[farnworth white]

Johnston proper taunting the Wigan fans after final whistle, brilliant!!!

Absolutely think everyone that started today deserves to start against Stevenage. Let’s see what happens 

[Leyther_Matt]

A world of difference to the last few weeks. Fully deserved and probably should have had a couple more on another day. Tremendous performances right the way through.

You just know there will be changes..

Or will SS have a change of heart?

[masi 51]

That was much better night and day between how we played that system last year...More compact, quicker and no need to invite teams to press high

 

 

Same again Tuesday

[L/H White]

Brilliant result 

Must be backed up Tuesday now 

[Didledee]

I doubt we'll see the same, given he as mentioned tiredness recently, Stevenage in bad form, but it's hard to imagine any team being as poor as Wigan were today and that's taking nothing away from Bolton, 'cos we were far superior.
