Re: Pied and Prejudice, Wigan (A) 27/02/04.

Taking off Sheehan's probing meant our passing got even safer, largely out to the wing back. What you then want is for them to drop a shoulder and hit the line, or drive inside, or look for a one two, but they were shagged, and we didn't manage to make any 2v1s ,(partly because our "two 8s" were now...

Re: Pied and Prejudice, Wigan (A) 27/02/04.

Comparing the good stuff of one manager against the bad of another is hardly fair. I loved Parky, but the bad stuff under him was as bad as I've ever seen. There were plenty awful, awful games. I think you have to take a wider view. And within that of course people have their views on what they'd ra...

Re: Pied and Prejudice, Wigan (A) 27/02/04.

Tonight's the first time I've doubted him. I don't know how you can lose that game against that team, even if we hadn't been spanked at the weekend. The third game in a row we've played how you'd want to play on the ball, dominated possession and got in ok areas but not had the final ball. But the ...

But it's on for us to absolutely batter this lot if we get it right. They're woeful. I'd quite like that please.

Re: Pied and Prejudice, Wigan (A) 27/02/04.

I really hope we don't regret that. Can't believe how passive they were and can't imagine they will be again. Absolutely bossed it without scoring. If I'd picked the Wigan team that's how they'd have played.

Geth has been really poor since he came back, not sure what he's offering right now.

It's honestly one of you worst decisions I've ever seen happen. You just can't send him off.

Re: North by North West. Away to Blackpool Sat 24th Feb, 3-0'clock

He won't rip it up, and probably rightly so. We were good against Cambridge, and good going forwards with 11 against Blackpool. The issues yesterday were individual mistakes rather than the shape. I would personally like to see us go 343 though. CMG has been the brightest spark in the last two games...

Shit me, that's a terrible decision. . https://twitter.com/bwfcbwfc/status/1761427702874099796 Looks like a foul to me. Left leg possibly winning the ball first, but he's clipped the players legs. What frustrates me is that even if it was a penalty, its a triple punishment sending the player off. P...

It's not. And it's definitely not a red. We'll win that appeal. Again.

Bent bastard. There's only so much you can do when the ref won't let you win

Refs been shite. We've been great going forward and awful defensively.

Can't keep conceding goals that easily and expect to win enough games.

Re: creeeeeeeekeeeeeet

Read something that they'd picked the spinners for this partly based on their release point, i.e. both relatively tall so hoping for uneven bounce.

Re: creeeeeeeekeeeeeet

It's a fecking minefield. You're in the lap of the gods. Batting first (or not being last) is what you want but when it can do anything at any time you'd go first and then hope for the best.

Re: There's a Moose loose about these U's Take Twos. Cambridge United Away. 20/02/2024

Oh and I'd go as far saying that Sheehan is possibly the best player in the division. He's in a world of his own right now and is actually starting to look out of place I agree. There are times when he gets overrun on the break but that's about set up for me. If you're wanting a Sheehan but with ph...

Re: There's a Moose loose about these U's Take Twos. Cambridge United Away. 20/02/2024

Footballs a weird game! I missed the first 14 minutes. Turned on just after we'd gone 1 down expecting the worst and then didn't come on until after. I thought we were excellent! As good as we've played in a long time. Controlled the first half but the final ball was off, and then stepped up again s...

Re: Red cards and Red Kits, Bolton v Charlton - 17th Feb 2024 3pm

Performance in general was far from good, but I didn't think it was awful. You just can't concede soft goals like that. Doesn't matter how good you are.
