[Archived] Friendly Against Wigan 01/08/15

[chris_h]

We have Guthrie and Lowe in midfield who I'd imagine will provide some defensive protection. We have two full backs that have a bit of pace and can get forward so wouldn't that allow Maynard to play alongside Rhodes if we attack down our left with Olsson?

[RevidgeBlue]

Strange decision to play Maynard on the wing. Not sure it's going to help his game chucking him out wide.

He should count himself fortunate he's not playing right back!

[Roverthechimp]

That Bowyer - playing 442 what an effing eejit... Oh wait he's playing a fluid formation with Maynard providing an extra option when marshall goes wide or olsson advances - that Bowyer always messing around - what an effing eeejit...

Repeat ad nauseum

[davulsukur]

Trial and in for Adam Le Fondre

Just catching up myself, we are trying to sign le fondre? On loan I'm guessing?

[AllRoverAsia]

Anyone at the game? what does the attendance look like?

[perthblue02]

If you have a rovers player subscription, log in to the Wigan site http://www.player.wiganlatics.co.uk/ they have commentary

One man and his dog

[chaddyrovers]

Maybe 1500/2000 here

[mustard]

Players look slow, sluggish and completely off the pace. Similar football to last season. Pass around the back and hoof. Wigan look sharper and are controlling the game.

[RevidgeBlue]

Maybe 1500/2000 here

Good man chaddy, keep the updates coming.

Edit: and mustard. Cheers

[perthblue02]

Maynard down injured

Delfouneso on as sub

[Tom]

He's come off

What a shame that is for him and us

[chris_h]

If we didn't have bad luck we'd have no luck at all.

[neophox]

Maynard crocked already

[RevidgeBlue]

Hope the lad is ok but might be a blessing in disguise if we're forced to look elsewhere.

Edit: If Delfouneso looks ok that's him Koita, Brown and Rhodes on the books. Can't see GB selling his pet lummox Brown. Do we need a 5th senior striker? (unless the unthinkable happens)

[Athlete]

Delfonso absolutely shocking effort

[mustard]

Maynard crocked already

Tbf he didn't do much and didn't look sharp or fit. He looked quite sluggish. Didn't see much pace. Let's see what Delfy can offer.

Guthrie has had some nice touches and seems slightly more creative than our other CMs, however he has made a few sloppy passes.

[Tom]

Raya our new number one?

[mustard]

One of the few times we look like springing an attack and the ref stops play for a Wigan player getting hit in the face with the ball.

[RevidgeBlue]

Raya our new number one?

Hope so. Sell one of Steele/Eastwood to free up another place. I'd sell Steele.

[Mike E]

Need to turn that @#/? tannoy down!

[frosty]

Nothing has actually happened so far. Flat is an understatement.

[donnermeat]

Does Hanley ever listen to Duffy?

Or anyone for that matter?

[Waggy76]

I wouldnt have signed him....

[chaddyrovers]

Not much in the game. Rovers formation shape better than last season. Deffo playing 4-2-3-1 formation tho
