[Archived] The Good, The Bad & The Ugly Of Wigan Away

[bigbrandjohn]

Both sides keeping their side of the bargain. Sanm saying if he puts in the the work he plays and Benni is getting the job done.Salgado definitely has good skills but his dives and his commitment worries me. He could easily get another yellow,

[Miker]

Benni Mac, the best striker at the club, the only striker we can rely on to score... and we might sell him in Jan? If we let him go it will be lunacy.

I think it will take him just another goal at Sunderland for him to cement a place in the line up and then Sam will likely refuse to sell him and McCarthy will hopefully be happy to stay.

[bigbrandjohn]

A yellow awaits Givet.

[Pinch]

Givet - yellow card.

He should already have a place in the starting line-up cemented. Even at 50% fitness he's better than Roberts at 100%. Di Santo and Kalinic should be rotated with Benni Mac in a starting pair, Roberts should be a late-sub to come on and harry the defence at the end of the game when Benni tires.

Very close to 2nd... Benni looks very good.

More commitment is what we need from the players. Salgado is a winner, and id much rather have his commitment, than lazy Diouf, and Gamst

[BRFC1995]

andrews you oaf. should be 2 0 hopefully hoilett can tag team with chimbonda in battering andrews at half time

[Pinch]

Nice save by Andres from Hoilett's shot

I can hardly post the abuse fast enough. Just gives the ball away sooo cheaply.

[ABBEY]

GET OUT THE WAY JULIE GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[Amo]

Chimbonda yellowed.

[Harry Balls]

Hoilett's goalbound shot blocked by Andrews.

Seriously, we would be a better side if we had 10 on the pitch!

On a positive note, Salgado looks like a hybrid of Tugay and Savage. Move him into the middle of the park Fat Sam!

[BRFC1995]

3 most committed players on yellow is very worrying

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

Er guys. Didn't Andrews take the free kick Benni scored from?

[Iceman]

GET OUT THE WAY JULIE GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

How dare you call Andrews Julie, Abbey! Its more like dick brain!

[bigbrandjohn]

Di Santo a bit one dimensional. I would bring on Roberts against his old team

I know, but to be fair Roberts was doing fairly well at the very start of the season and McCarthy has started past few games now. If he didn't score today and was still goalless by January, I'd be more inclined to sell him and you can bet Sam would be even more so.

By the way, just noticed you have a Kamelot song in your sig. Good stuff.

Hahahahahaha did Andrews just stop our goal?? Oh god...

[Amo]

Plenty of running, but to be fair he doesn't get a lot of support from midfield.

I also agree about Salgado. Looks perfect for a centre-midfield spot; still unconvinced by his wingplay.

[Pinch]

Andrews lumped it forward and Nelson placed it across to McCarthy .....but c'mon...anyone with eyes in their head can see that Andrews has mainly been a boat-anchor today

[Harry Balls]

Er guys. Didn't Andrews take the free kick Benni scored from?

I was a punt from the half-way line, not some Beckham-esque bender. If anyone deserves credit for the assist, it's Nelsen who did brilliantly to head the ball back across the goal.

Andrew's is awful and needs to not be on the pitch. Pedersen is @#/? too, but I'd rather see him come on and Salgado moved into the middle.

[magicalmortensleftpeg]

Its as if someone has told Andrews that for every decent forward pass he makes, somewhere a puppy is shot. Good enough half, if we keep 11 men on the pitch id be pleasently surprised. Hope Di Santo can grab one.

[Amo]

The Andrews Debate rages on!

The guy has been complete bobbins, and looks like a coat hanger in a shirt.

3 most committed players on yellow is very worrying

A big concern, especially when they are right and left backs, plus Salgado who looks determined to get himself sent off.

Andrews started well, passing to our players...then it all went wrong about the 20min mark and he started to break up all our decent attacks by giving it straight to their defenders. Decent free kick for the goal but its all about the movement in the box.

Wigan have been dangerous and Robbo has made a couple of good saves to keep us in it.

Di Santo putting in the yards yet again and won a couple of danergous free kicks for his trouble. Just doesn't seem to get the break in front of goal.

Subs: Jacobsen, Kalinic, MGP. At various intervals in the second half.

[Miker]

Good to know Salgado is doing fairly well and people think he should play in the centre, that's where I saw him playing when we first signed him. The thing is that having a midfield combo of any of Salgado, N'zonzi or Grella means our midfield is very defensive. We need two quality wingers to create chances in that case and I don't think we have that. If Hoilett and Emerton play it would be ok though.
