Both of Wigan's best chances have resulted directly from the ref not blowing for clear fouls. Otherwise alright half, our passing is dog *** though so we need to work on that. Wing grew into the game. McNair great again. Browne awful, howson great too. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Hes giving us nothing, hes giving Wigan free kicks and not giving them us for similar offences! Hes missed 2 blatant handballs and we cant buy a free kick at the moment for obvious fouls Link to post Share on other sites

But what's the other option? Marvin? At least we'd still have 11 men. Would like Clayton off as well. How has he become this bad? Saville may be no Pirlo, but surely he wouldn't do any worse.

boroie 484 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Good result at half time, worrying performance though. Mind you Wigan haven't been amazing either, but we lack any sort of midfield control and we are very shaky at the back. Link to post Share on other sites

pikerman 1,089 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Well for the most part that was brutal to watch, it reminded me of an over 40s ex pros charity game. What happened to the high tempo pressing game, we are just disjointed and ambling around. We are incapable of making a pass to our own team, is this a confidence thing a lack of fitness or confused coaching ? Link to post Share on other sites
Smogzilla 7,385 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Passing been very wayward in that half. Link to post Share on other sites

He should have had a second from his latest foul. Now he’s shouting at the ref when the play is stopped. Passionate, trying too hard maybe? Link to post Share on other sites

Hoson wasted at RB, but frighteningly worrying he is our best defender when he's makeshift. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
boro-unger 3,817 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 We've been dire. Passing accuracy must be about 10%. God knows how were winning. But hey ho! Also, the ref has little man syndrome Link to post Share on other sites

I think it's just some of the players being bad at passing, when we get it to the good at passing players, we play some really nice stuff. We've played some beautiful stuff up and down the right wing, but if any of our defenders (bar Howson) have to pass the ball it goes nowhere. We've missed some passes where they've been good ideas but have been cut out I class them as slightly less egregious than the ones like Ayala and Shotton just blasting it into touch.

Blanco 4,900 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Have to say the ref has been awful. Wigan handled the ball nearly as much as the Dublin GAA team at one point in that half and no fouls given. Didn’t think Browne deserved the first yellow but he should have had a second. Maybe it has evened itself out? Link to post Share on other sites
Downsouth 6,175 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Teddy has declared that if Ryan Shotton misplaces one more pass he will no longer be his favourite player. What an astute lad 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Changing Times 12,219 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Two bad teams here hope we can hang on and not do anything stupid but god knows. Half time penalties showed more ability than our lot. Link to post Share on other sites
