Well, in addition to completely and utterly forgetting how to defend for 10 minutes, I think we were overpowered physically today. Having Obika and Branco on the pitch might have helped out cause. Not that Branco would necessarily have helped with the defence losing the plot though.

Would have been useful to have someone over 5ft 2 " in the attacking part of the pitch. Ranger anyone?

And that's that.
Of all the games to go and do that, they do it when I am able to watch.

We'll focus on our short comings, but Wigan were way better than us. Easy for them.

Whoever said men against boys summed it up.
Nathan (who was probably our best player) getting a straight red just rubbing salt into the wounds.

We must have had a strange angle in the Arkells for the Nathan foul!
Wigan are the best team I've seen at the County Groind this season. Stronger and more hardworking from the off. Our lightweightness really showed tonight.

Nath's tackle that led to our goal and then his red card perfectly illustrated both sides of his game

When this was first moved to a 17:30 Kick Off, I wondered whether to change my night shift, or whether to get a shift swap.
I did neither, and recorded the game instead.
It would appear as though I still made the wrong decision.

This. Rodgers certainly showed his crapness tonight when pressurised. Unfortunately the game was over by the time Traore came on. With the lack of central defenders on Monday, Traore could be partnering Turnbull at the back. Good to see most stay on to nearly the end, and the Wigan fans were certainly quiet...but they went home with the 3 points. |

There's a lot being said about Rodgers crapness, but I think that we offered nothing all over the park.
Hylton was abysmal and not in the game. No pace (which he seemed to have when he arrived), no touch and no positional sense. Please only play him if Ajose is injured in the future.
Ajose had a good freekick and took his goal well. He had noone to win the ball for him and provide anything for him to feed off.
Doughty was marked out of the game in the first half. Came into it a little bit towards the end when he was moved inside.
Rodgers was poor. Flicks and studs up was all I saw.
Was there anyone else in midfield? Didn't see them do much. Most anonymous I've ever seen Louis Thompson. That's not the player we had last year.
Turnbull has the touch of a rapist.
Sendles-White did well in the first half I thought.
Barry was there for the taking in the first half but wasn't fully exploited.
Brophy didn't impress me when he came on. Traore did though. Couldn't do everything on his own, but I liked the look of him.
Robert looked slow and was trying to run through everyone.
Belford had no chance for the 4 goals. Poor marking and no closing down did for him. However, he didn't seem to be able to find any of our players with his passes.
Nathan, Nathan, Nathan! What a silly, silly challenge!
Ormond-Ottewill. Hmmm? Offered little going forward and struggled defensively.
Bottom line is we couldn't keep the ball or string passes together. We had no one up front as an outlet or who could hold the ball up. Up until the goal we looked under no real pressure of conceeding. It looked as if it was a tight game that someone would win 1-0. We looked sluggish after the break and then frightened after going 2-0 down. I think the only reason that we didn't conceed more was because Wigan tired a little and held back.
Awful performance. Showed that we are a lower to mid-table team at best. Would have been interesting to see what difference Obika would have made as an outlet.

I was dismayed that Traore did not start, and liability Rodgers did. We might have put up a better show in midfield with him there.

Write this one off, folks. Wigan are far superior, it happens.
Williams' first major test as a manager, getting them to get over it.
Williams' first major test as a manager, was making sure we get to 52 points, that is more or less in the bag. We needed to go out today, play without fear and really get about Wigan. We just didn't....still young lads etc, so it's a learning curve. Super Jon is going to be a big miss. |
