I like the Brazilian curry thing they do there, it’s called Moqueca or something like that. I imagine it’s extremely inauthentic but it tastes good.

Re: Match Day Thread: Wigan
Very similar performance to many others in recent weeks under Dodds, Grace and Lord Voldemort. Fortunately other results went for us. Need to be better against teams that come here to stifle and for a point

Kone incoming! The paint is now dry and there will be something to watch!!!

Re: Match Day Thread: Wigan
Finally got home after no trains north out of Kings Cross for 3 hours. Which seemed a fitting end to a not particularly enjoyable day.
It was very much of a relief that the weather was pleasantly warm - that second half would have felt a lot worse in some of the temperatures we’ve had in recent games.
In amongst all the negativity (for me it’s just how slow we are in moving the ball at the moment) there were quite a few positives and I do think Simons will become a key player for us - although I thought he disappeared a bit second half.
i have seen us play a lot worse and I have been more bored than I was today before. But it’s a little bit frustrating for me that we are both playing well throughout a lot of the team AND being thoroughly boring to watch.
The highlight of the day for me though was an exceptional and extended murmuration above Wycombe Station. It was beautiful to watch, more entertaining than the football and somehow less predictable.

Re: Samaritans Score Prediction - Wigan (h)
It was quid a kid!
How come no-one saw 0-0 as the obvious result?

Re: Match Day Thread: Wigan
I have no problem with Dodds or the team he put out. We had the best of the game and more chances, but we did need more confidence in pushing forward against quite a dour team. Fred scores a worldy after his solo run and we are all happy and he's back on the wing next week.
Frustrating yes...but I was not bored.
Re: Match Day Thread: Wigan
I literally did not mention Bloomfield until others brought him up. Dodds has nothing to do with the Bloomfield situation other than being the next to take up the same employment.
I'm literally trying to discuss current things like today's game, and being told to move on and grow up.

Re: Match Day Thread: Wigan
I'll explain - several on here thought it was a dull game and said so. We were then told to "move on" (from what? It's today's game) and "grow up".
In short: the same people who acted desperate to "move on" from Bloomfield then find a new issue to "move on" from when we try and talk about today's game. It's absolutely fine if you feel it was pulsating excitement - that's what debate is for! Acting superior and because you didn't find it dull and finger wagging those who did? Pompous.
Again, Dodds is the current head coach. It should be absolutely fine to say the football has been a little on the dull side so far. I very much want him to succeed, and he had nothing to do with the other thing people supposedly don't want to discuss but keep bringing up.

Re: Other Football
Birmingham draw with Reading and extend their unbeaten run. Would be very harsh on Reading to say Birmingham dropped two points, I think Reading had the better of the chances in the second half and both sides would have taken the result, and obviously we’ve got Reading still to come. But still, a win today for us allows us to chip away and with Wrexham playing tomorrow, a nice psychological advantage over them.
However, Birmingham picked up a number of injuries in that game and they looked leggy. They have Orient on Tuesday which is going to be tough, and then some tinpot club called ‘Little Wycombe’ four days later.
I’m still looking up as much as looking down. Please football Gods, shine your light on those famous quarters!!
