Pears is rubbish, isn't he

Dolan, I’d give him a 2/10 today. Abysmal 

His confidence left a month ago. Getting dropped didn’t help, but I’m sure he got dropped because his play was poor

[Trinidad Rover]

Our squad isn’t big enough for the league and the cup - today shows that clearly. 
 

Move on and hopefully we don’t have to play Wigan again for a long time.

This loss in down to two comedy errors by Pears. We were cruising at 1-0. This isn’t on Mowbray. Pears need to take responsibility for this. He reminded me of Karius for Liverpool in the champions league. One mistake, fell to pieces.

Evidently he's not a RWB. Even if Nyambe stays we need reinforcements at that position.

I did when the draw was made.

Well that's all our confidence gone in one game.

God help us for the next few weeks.

Just remind what happened after losing 7-0 to Fulham. Did that affect our confidence or did we react superbly

Yes, he's wank.

I've had worse days at Wigan.

Same as Edun, BBD and more. Crap.

Pears gets a -100 and a checkup for betting slips and I am not reading what his Uncle Tony says.

[WacoRover]

What have we learned today?

Its more about who we CANNOT rely on to get us promoted or to the playoffs. 

[pick32]

Three easy saves, let’s hope Pears hasn’t killed our momentum and season with that display 

[booth]

Some embarassing performances.

It's not that we've gone out, Wigan won't score two like that again for a while along with an absolute goalkeeping howler to add to it.

It's the manner that several key players just haven't looked assed today. A reminder of how poor they can be.

Missed Wharton, Pickering, Nyambe and Kaminski today but the ones replacing them should have done much better.

He should have really been saving the 3rd as well.

[Doogs]

Pears is the worst goalie i have ever seen.....Also did Rothwell play?  He goes missing for long periods.

We concentrate on promotion push.

What a load of horse manure

Excuse for a pathetic performance that is likely to spill over into league form

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a worse performance in goal. Not even from school boys that are 4 foot tall.

I hope we do, but we were pretty pure today and it's a real worry.

[Ossydave]

Absolute disaster of a day.

A loss

A goalkeeping horror show worse than any I've ever seen

Injuries to 1 key player and another who perhaps isn't as key but still needed in Gallagher. Sure Van Hecke was limping too?

Wasn't gonna have a drink but hell fire after that 😳

It looked like Ben Benson was in the pegs

[K-Hod]

I’m not sure why I thought it would be any different tbh, local away game with a big following, we don’t win these games.

Completely agree. Johnson Travis Edun Pears Dolan

Trusting in those players will not lead to promotion

Is Kaminsky actually fit but just being rested today? 

Hard to see any way back for Pears after that.

[Butty]

Not arsed we’ve lost really. Be a quick one to get over this one. Pears had a day from hell it is what it is. Never expect anything from Wigan away anyway, we’ve not won there since 2007 😳
