Re: Wiggin game
Whether jussi is fit or not they have a better keeper than us now...may be a factor
Never mind 'since stoke' I'm still pissed off with stoke (probably obvious). About time we showed some backbone. Wankers!

Re: Wiggin game
yeah - but that wouldn't necessarily indicate a "performance" - shipping 4 goals and squeaking a win - just a win, surely?BWFC_Insane wrote:Would rather we won 5-4 than drew 0-0!William the White wrote:Performance would be great.

Re: Wiggin game
Scoring 5 would at least indicate some sort of an attacking performance though!thebish wrote:yeah - but that wouldn't necessarily indicate a "performance" - shipping 4 goals and squeaking a win - just a win, surely?BWFC_Insane wrote:Would rather we won 5-4 than drew 0-0!William the White wrote:Performance would be great.

Re: Wiggin game
a 5-4 win would probably give Bishy a heart attack...

By a performance I mean some sort of intent to play with tempo, get on the ball and dominate.thebish wrote:ahh - I thought you meant something more significant when you said we had to give a "performance"BWFC_Insane wrote: Scoring 5 would at least indicate some sort of an attacking performance though!
Trying to hold on for a 0-0 is not good enough at this stage for me. Go out, put in a performance and win, show that we have a decent forward line and can supply them the ammunition.

Re: Wiggin game
Wigan are slight favourites for this on 188bet with a draw being the least likely option. With it being a relegation dogfight it's almost worth putting something on a draw, but having said that there will be at least one goal to someone... and betting is a mugs game.
After 2 weeks off I'm looking forward to this one from the armchair, if only for having something else to moan about afterwards.

The players you fail to sign never lose you any money.

hmmm - dominate AND let 4 goals in??? how does that work!BWFC_Insane wrote:By a performance I mean some sort of intent to play with tempo, get on the ball and dominate.thebish wrote:ahh - I thought you meant something more significant when you said we had to give a "performance"BWFC_Insane wrote: Scoring 5 would at least indicate some sort of an attacking performance though!

(nobody has suggested holding on for a 0-0)

Arsenal did it against the Dingles.

Re: Wiggin game
We could win 1-0 and still dominate. It's about seeing intent, tempo, desire and some belief.thebish wrote:hmmm - dominate AND let 4 goals in??? how does that work!BWFC_Insane wrote:By a performance I mean some sort of intent to play with tempo, get on the ball and dominate.thebish wrote:ahh - I thought you meant something more significant when you said we had to give a "performance"BWFC_Insane wrote: Scoring 5 would at least indicate some sort of an attacking performance though!

yeah - but can we let 4 goals in and you come away saying we dominated and gave a performance?BWFC_Insane wrote:We could win 1-0 and still dominate.

Re: Wiggin game
You can dominate without a crushing scoreline. City beat us 3-2 this season, but it was certainly a dominant performance!

Why?thebish wrote:I'd rather win 1-0 than 5-4...
Same points, same goal difference.
But more goals scored, which can define a league position and a more entertaining game to watch.

because I'd rather not have a defense that concedes 4 to wiggin!! we need to start conceding less!!
1-0 gives us 3 points and a clean sheet (building defensive confidence)
2-0 - better!
3-0 - dreamland
5-4 - happy to win - but still unsure about the defense...
