Wigan Match Thread

It’s all about next season , we are giving games to youngsters as we should be , Hugil a massive loss as nothing upfront at all .I expect the team to look a lot different come September.

Thought Kakay was ok to be fair. Needs confidence going forward but has a decent defensive awareness IMO.

Actually did have a decent game, a inexperienced player playing with Cameron, Barbet and Kane must be his worst nightmare

[Fraggy]

One question. Why does there appear to be NO clock management? None. Down by a goal with ten minutes to go, and there is still no sense of urgency from anyone on our team. Back passing. Lolly gagging around. When Manning took 15 seconds to take a free kick at midfield with only minutes left on the clock, why isn't anyone screaming at him to get on with it?.

Agree that Eze has packed it in; doesn't want to risk injury. We get it. BOS at least tries every game.

If this is going to be our brand of football, fans will not be flocking back next season after the COVID peril has passed.

Andy Sinton was saying the same on comms.

If you didn't know the score and just turned on the game with 10 mins left, you would think we were the team defending a lead.

I was really impressed with Wigan, hard team to play. Lucky it was only 1-0.

It was a must win for them .

It was a must win for them .

And we gave it to them!!

Wigan have gone bust and it's been reported their players have not received June wages. Despite this they beat us and are level on points with us - very poor.

Get this f..ing season over and done with, sell the players that have any value and start building for next season.

Recent games and performances will have no bearing on what we do next season. There will be at least five new players in the starting line up for the first game of next season

As we do .

In my humble opinion this is on the players. Warburton made the right changes bringing on Clarke and Shodipo but we had nothing in the final 3rd. To be fair we defended okay and Lumley played well. We missed Hugill tonight.

Eze wasn't great tonight but nor where the players around him so can't pin it on him.

Collectively our passing was very poor and we suffered as a result.

The club should have prepared better for post Corona. Hence the lack of results...

Ain't that the truth.

Spot on. Playing at training pace IMO and I hope it doesn't blow up in our faces......how many to be mathematically safe ?

Luton have 41 points, and 4 games to play so their maximum should they win all their remaining games is 53

Barnsley have 42 points and 4 games remaining, so their maximum should they win all their remaining games is 54

Wigan have 53 points and 4 games left giving them a maximum of 65 points if they win all their remaining games. But they face a 12 point reduction, so if it comes their maximum points is 53

QPR are on 53 points

Barnsley still have to play Wigan.

So we are nearly there
