Wigan Post-Match Thread

[Mostar]

I don't think their keeper did much to be honest, all straight forward saves. not one amazing one. we just do not get enough players in the box. to be fair to dirk and downing, they had suarez to aim at. its obvious away from home we miss lucas, plus not having spearing either, it means adam is too deep. confidence seems so low. surely from the subs bench it'd be better to throw on a youngster who has no fear, pace to burn and lots of twists and turn, such as Sterling, for 10 minutes he could run the **** out of any premier league defender.

its frustrating but considering the pre match circus, its understandable that some of the players weren't at it. enrique never knows when to release does he? arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrh.

He is forcing it coz he has Downing that can do **** with the ball as of late.

What I hate the most about Dowing is when he takes the ball start running with it and passes when gets 2 feet away from either Johnson or Enrique.

So frustrating.

We lack Lucas, far to open and we could easily get punished.

We Lack Gerrards drive, ability to create out of nothing, grab the game by the scruff of the neck and win.

We lack a mcmanaman-esq player to run and create

We lack Fowler-esq type of player to shoot on sight when withing the 18 yard box and actually score.

Enjoyed Le Tissier on Sky co-commentating

Me too

Also on the subject of giving credit I thought the referee was very good today, got most decisions right IMO.

We lack a winger who can beat a man more than any of those things.

[Fredo]

Downing lacks that turn of speed. He's a decent player, no more.

Strange hair though, shaved at the sides like a Romanian orphan.

Aye, definitely. Ref was quality bar the odd little clanger. We definitely got quite a few good ones out of him.

Badly badly missed.

Downing
Maxi
Kuyt
Adam
Henderson

A mix of decent and average players, we need better quality. We are not creating enough clear cut chances.

[Mostar]

We had a number of decent chances in the first half, problem was the finishing was poor and most of them were straight at the keeper.

Penalties should be a gift, but we can't even convert them. Scoring 1 pen out of 5 is shocking. If we'd scored two of the pens we'd missed (tonight and against Sunderland we'd be sat in 4th now level on points with Spurs despite everything else.

None of the chances today except penalty were not really great goal scoring chances and we haven't created nearly as much as we normally do.

Hendo, Adam and Shelvey later on didn't do anything today.

In terms of penalties, it's absolutely appalling that we missed 3 out of 4 in PL and 4 out of 5 in all competitions.

We really don't have anybody to blame but ourselves.

[BobTheCharmer]

I've been a real fan of Adam all season, but I think his last two games have been poor. spearing back yet?

[Fredo]

Dunno why you're criticising Henderson. I think he's excellent and probably even more now he's playing in central midfield. He's 21 ffs.

[Leyton388]

Jan bid for Mash anyone? He still warms the bench at barca

[Baracus]

Do we have a plan B

[danperkins]

Poor performance by almost everyone.

For me only Enrique played up to his normal standards.

**** it.

We missed the chance to really close the gap on Gooners and Spurs.

Enrique was outstanding.

Flip side Downing/Hendo/Adam/Suarez/Kuyt had mares.
