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

I hope Evatt's post-match comments highlighting us dominating possession and dictating the tempo as positive is just media spin and that he's privately aware we were afforded the time and space to do just that as a part of the opposition gameplan.

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

A couple of things, BWFCi, me dear old mate. First off is the apparent glee with which you greet defeat. That's led some forum members to dislike you and call you a non-fan; I'm not among their number as I know you deeply care about the club, but I've also known you long enough to confirm that you'...

Vulnerable against teams that press high and now vulnerable against teams willing to sit in and hit us against the run of play.

I still can't believe that when they were sitting off us after scoring we brought Sheehan off for Jerome.

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

Oh and the system isn’t working. It’s failed. Crisis and Evatt has to respond and change it. Or he will have utterly failed. Our whole philosophy is working it out wide to the wing-backs so they can put in low crosses from the byline into a penalty area packed full of opposition players. It's no wo...

Per the post of BWFC_Insane in another thread, tonight felt like a pivotal moment under Evatt and we've failed.

The f*cking naivety of it all.

Unless there's a serious change in approach, we aren't going up.

Avoided it until 9.45 thinking it would be nearly over, had no idea of the delayed KO.

Don't know the ins and outs of tonight but absolutely no surprise that we've lost.
We had the lion's share of possession, did nothing with it, and they took practically their only opportunity.

Why the f*ck did no-one follow the runner for their goal?

Wigan only threatening when McManaman gets past Ogbeta (who is yellow carded).
We'd lose what he offers going forward but I wonder if Evatt's thinking about hooking him for Iredale?

Well, based on that half we have nothing to fear from them but we really need to make the most of our dominance.

I'd like to hope our players are flagging the issues with several fouls against our lot. Surely they warrant a yellow by the sheer volume of fouls they've been putting in.
I'd love us to be more cynical about these things.
