Match Thread: Pasties and Pies - A Tasty affair! Bolton v Wigan (H) - Saturday 19th Aug / 12.30

Ghost did say if we defended like we did against Fleetwood we'd concede 3....

Seems all opponents need to do to score against us is to actually have a go.

[sonicthewhite]

Just checked the scores. What a load of sh1te!

[DJBlu]

Too many playing badly here.

Going to have to sort out this big crowd hoodoo out.

[Mar]

Feel like we've been getting more and more into it, without an serious end product. Come close a few times.

Get the impression Wigan are looking to frustrate.

We need a goal, get them to lose their heads a little and put it to them.

[jmjhb]

2 defensive errors for the goals but their midfield 2 is over-running our 3 which is galling

[DJBlu]

Iredale, Williams, Jones. Awful.

[DJBlu]

As is Ndlundlu.

[jmjhb]

As is Ndlundlu.

When we inevitably punt him out on loan in 18 months time he's going to have a record like 40 appearances/2 goals

[Mar]

Not really getting the impression Dempseys gotten into this match yet. I've seen Morley looking a little slow but fairly decent. Sheehan probably the pick of the midfield bunch.

Plenty of opportunity in the opposition box, just tame or deflected efforts.

Only 5 mins? Really... Time management in the league so far is shocking. I've been impressed with Nlundulu so far DJBlu, decent linkup and unlucky not to get better contact on his shots. Its not working with his linkup with Vic though.

[Mar]

FFS Shocking defending yet again!

All the good effort we put in up front and just all over the place at the back. Suspected Baxter should've come out for that one sweeper keeper style or we should've been more switched on.

Boos bound to be ringing around for this. fking joke.

[DJBlu]

Got em pinned in and doing not so much with it.

That is a fecking disgrace. Baxter what are you fecking doing?

Rooted to the spot for the through ball then starts wandering round the 18 yard box.

Set up perfectly for Wigan. High line with piss poor defending. Going to be six or seven.

We've left ourselves massively exposed at the back yet again. Got quite a bit of work to do after the break.

Wigan are doing what we haven't been able to. Break fast and get chances. When we attack it looks very much like they've had time to settle themselves.

Weird half of football that. Watching on wanderers TV whilst on hols (really decent coverage by the way...) We don't look that bad at all, and they don't look much better.

We're up on the majority of the stats they're cycling through at half time, apart from the only one that counts sadly...

[officer_dibble]

I’d call that game over! Massive bollocking, salvage some pride. A lesson in turning up thinking you’ve won…

[Worthy4England]

Got quite a bit of work to do after the break.

[knobpolisher]

Masterplan to help dispel the ghost of the 0- 4 defeat by losing 0 - 6. Dog sh1te

I feel like we've been sucker punched three times.

Just doesn't feel like we're getting anything going our way. JDC missing the target on that chance, we've got to be putting those away.

[Mar]

A lot of soft free kicks being won by Wigan here.

[jmjhb]

A lot of soft free kicks being won by Wigan here.

Nothing we wouldn't do if 3-0 up.

[DJBlu]

Just look at the difference in passing.

We're touch then pass Wigan set defensively.

Wigan pass takes out three players.
