Guest BooBoo Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 As a side note, I bet Ashley is fuming with the result considering his long running feud with Dave Whelan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 The safe bet would be Ben Arfa's rating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 The safe bet would be Ben Arfa's rating. Not just Ben Arfa's but that's one of the main problems. Anybody who thinks Williamson and Simpson were better than Colo watched the game with their eyes closed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 my guess it's the contrast of colo saying we can finish 4th with the result and performance against wigan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Yeah, fair point. Apparently Ryan Taylor was better than them too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Yeah, fair point. Apparently Ryan Taylor was better than them too. Aye, that one got me too. Shame we didn't match Wigan's 3-5-3 formation either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tyson Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Fair play to Wigan. They played some great stuff, and they had a hot-day in front of goal. Definitely ambushed us with their pressure. Can't help but think there was a dose of Billy Bignuts fever in the team as well - looking at Simpson in particular ie. Manyoo Academy Graduate who thinks he's already made it. I'm not a fan of going three at the back when you've got two incredibly weak links (Williamson & Simpson) as part up the set-up. It's a train wreck waiting to happen having that spread of inabilty further compressed into a narrower corridor, and it dilutes the defensive influence of the unit's normally best player (Collocini). One of the best 3-man rearguards (used weekly) from recent times was Man City's, under Keegan. But as part of it they had two very good lynchpins to make it work, in the form of Distin and Van Buyten (during his loan, very mobile for a 6ft 6'er).

colinmk Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Just have to say we got it wrong, although the way Wigan are playing who knows if a change in the tactics would of done much better. Martinez has had them playing decent stuff most of the season tbh, just hasn't been getting results until now. Credit to him and Wigan. Glad to see wee Maloney doing well, really good player but far too injury prone. Let's hope we are set-up better against Chelsea or else it's going to be a shit few days for us.

Guest Roger Kint Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I don't get it. He put Figueroa on a par with Simpson! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoreboard82 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Hate this place, but keep returning for defeat after defeat. Hate their flatpack stadium. Hate their pathetic goal music and their pathetic fans who stoop so low as to sing a premiership rivals name when trying to taunt us by singing Sunderland. I'm not bitter in the least.

Zach Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 We went there complacent and unprepared for me and got what we deserved. We were 3 down before we even realised what was going on and then the game was gone. It didn't help that every Wigan shot seemed to go in like, but to be honest the first half was a shambles. I just hope it gives us a bit of a wake up call for the last few games because these last 3 are going to be even tougher. MotM for me were the crowd.

Lenny Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Was away all weekend so other than the score I couldn't find out anything about the match. Probably for the best... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
