Mantra Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Manager saying they struggled vs Wrexham because they had to have a lot of the ball and Wrexham just sat off them. Apparently Wigan aren’t used to that. And also they lacked aggression (which was a feature of their tactics in their last league one stint) Sound like Maloney has geared them up to be a counter attacking team this season. Unfortunately that favours them when we play them but we should have more than enough quality to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanderlust Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Wrexham had less possession but double the attempts on goal and OT. Enjoy https://www.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/football/12936376/wrexham-0-0-wigan-4-2-pens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all their financial woes, they've still managed to sign up a lot of young talent on free transfers and loans this window - from clubs including Liverpool, Newcastle, Celtic, Arsenal and Bayern Munich. Wrexham may be an irritating movie script, but it's WIgan FFS. I'm only grateful for the "your just a small town in Bolton" chant from the Wrexham fans.

peebles Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Apparently it was 'You're just a bus stop in Bolton.'😂 Was a bit worried about these lot after Sat but maybe Derby are just terrible? They still have quality up front but their defence & midfield looks very young. Gave Wrexham a good few clear opportunities and I don't think they played that well either.

It does make you feel like that, we could win our first 10 games and play them next. Yet you would still feel they would spoil the party.

barrycowdrill Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Carlisle (a) us (a) Barnsley (h) Blackpool (a) charlton (h) Then quickly followed by Pompey is a run that will hopefully put them in their place. The challenge of Sat - Tues with a threadbare squad (8 lads from the academy played yesterday) will eventually take its toll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very similar to what McLean did against us. Hard to judge what level they are at. 2 wins from 2 in the league vs Derby and Northampton. Still have some good players from what I can tell. That front four looks dangerous for League One level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyrotten Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Not sure why such an obsession with Wigan’s crowds. If we crow about selling 15k S/Ts, are Leeds or Sheff Wed justified calling us tinpot? It’s all relative, 10k for them in Div 1 is good just like 4K for Fleetwood, Morecame and Accy is. It’s like other clubs can only be pleased with a crowd if it’s bigger than ours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
