We've been too cautious for my liking

That's definitely the strongest bench we've ever had.

Absolutely! You’ve reminded me of the ad in which “Albert Einstein” asks Angela Ripon if he needs to do the splits and she gives exactly that response. Bet you’ve heard it !

Is this elite football? That was the most tedious first half I’ve watched in at least a year. Nothing happened.

Nice to see them adding on the right amount for Wigan's shameless time-wasting...

If Dodds is going to chew gum on the touchline I wish he’d learn to do it with his mouth closed. Nobody wants to see that.

The crowd are trying their best, but any early enthusiasm is draining away and the kids are starting to fidget. Not much more than low paced pitter patting it round the back before launching diagonals.

Fingers crossed for the second half.

Oh for Jeeves and Catchpole. At least they would inject some jollity into the occasion. The dour man started the match with the fascinating observation that Wycombe were beginning to impart themselves on Wigan. I’ve a feeling he is much younger than he sounds.

Sam Avery is excellent but is used to commentating on radio. Richie (?) was with Phil on Tuesday and drove people mad by talking non stop and lacking wit or empathy.

Fairly dull so far, a consequence of both teams being happy to keep possession in their own half for long periods.
