Re: The State of Play...
But if we win at home to Wrexham and replicate all other results, we finish six points ahead of Wrexham…
Re: Match Day Thread: Wigan
Playing for draws? Imagine the meltdown on here if we went out with ‘arrogance and swagger’ on all out attack and lost because we had neglected our defensive duties. I’m glad the head coach takes a more pragmatic view.
Re: Match Day Thread: Wigan
We were brilliant to watch in the first half of the season and scored goals for fun to give us the platform we have now, but this final third of the campaign is a very different scenario. The fear of losing can suffocate teams going for promotion or trying to avoid relegation and I think it’s a good sign that we have become more resilient defensively, especially during a spell when our leading scorer has been out of action. As Eric Plant points out above, there will probably be more games like Saturday during the run in and patience and is required from players and fans alike.
Re: Match Day Thread: Wigan
Do you honestly believed the team "played for a draw" against Crawley and Wigan?

Re: Match Day Thread: Wigan
Poor teams turning up and stifling higher placed teams in order to gain points for themselves should be outlawed. It is ruining football. (Sorry Gaz...)
We may have failed to score but the idea we were playing for a draw is risible. Not the game I watched.
Re: Match Day Thread: Wigan
ah but will you offset those against games such as the Mansfield home game where we were lucky to pick up all 3 points?
Re: Match Day Thread: Wigan
Morley used to sit back and allow Josh to go forward, and after doing that for a few weeks he was really effective, hopefully he can have the trust in Xavi to start doing that more.
The bed wetting stuff is a bit of a cheap dig but gets the point across, its not a majority but we've seen so many comments this season that have turned out to be pish days or minutes later, some folk would have booted out all of the new signings and the manager at half time in the first game of the season, if not the first game of last season.
Re: The State of Play...
I like that air of confusion, was out on a jog before and I was thinking about Wycombe, Birmingham away on Saturday and so on.
If you'd of said to anyone on here we'd be 2nd behind Birmingham after 32 games with 64 points, 3 ahead of the team in 3rd and 7 points ahead of 4th with a game in hand we'd all be over the moon.
Yet somehow it doesn't feel like that, for me anyway, I still haven't ordered tickets for Saturday yet and it was one of the first games I looked for when the fixtures come out. I've got to make a decision later in the week, go the match or take my girls team.
I couldn't get the game Saturday but watched it and It wasn't great. Reading the match day thread was even more depressing.
Re: James Berry signs
Exactly this. Except he’s made a point of it. Admittedly he was answering a question, but still.
I’m probably reading too much into it. It does make you wonder how long he’ll be around though.
