Lies, damned lies and now the damned tics. Wigan (H) Saturday 12.30pm

[Mar]

Whats this, a touch in their half and a shot. Better.

[nicholaldo]

That's Johnston and Santos out of the Wycombe game if not mistaken.

You’re not mistaken. Thomason too? Oh well, it’s only a trip to the league leaders. At least we got some yellows in a derby.

Not Thomason.

He's already served his first ban and is now merely making progress on his second.

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Yep fair point both of you on Tomo

We are gonna need him

[officer_dibble]

The amount of passes we make behind or too far in front a player… there’s deffo training ground issues here

[Mar]

Miles better this half. Where was this in the first half?

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Oh dear.

[officer_dibble]

Game over
Cheers Ian

[HMX]

feck OFF

[DJBlu]

That is it for me.

Off they can all feck.

Subs on when we're in the ascendancy. Clueless c*nt.

[HMX]

Get another so we can feck him off. Don't care.

[Mar]

We're looking utterly inept at winning any header in the box today. So many corners won by their movement and heading.

FFS 0-2.

Time to bow out in disgrace Evatt. Two 4-0 defeats against Wigan in previous matches and then this.

Giving the Wigan fans what they want.

[The_Gun]

This has to be the end.

[Mar]

Subs on when we're in the ascendancy. Clueless c*nt.

I thought the same. Schon getting into the game, gets pulled off. No problem bringing Vic off, but don't change things when we're playing well.

As a player you've got to be looking at it going WTF is that all about. Rather than thinking finally a sub that'll help us get back on track. No changes when it wasn't working, changes when it was. Mental.

[HMX]

Too many batterings by local minnows. No choice.

[officer_dibble]

Johnstones fault but in santos we have the only free role centre half I’ve ever seen in league one. He’s supposed to be winning all the balls in the air at crosses, and he consistently hasn’t done it again today. He’s a waste of a shirt in games like this where you need to match them man v man - it’s like playing with ten men. Your tactics do not fecking work Ian.

[Worthy4England]

Can someone tell me seriously what we are coached to do? We try to pass backwards and sideways and Wigan press us and we fall apart. Then the answer is to go backwards before booting it anywhere. And there is no plan beyond that. What does Evatt tell them? What do they do all week? Why can’t we play into midfield? It’s clear they are terribly coached because you can see they simply don’t know what to do. Every situation should be robotic. We should know the out balls. The spare man. The runners. That’s a basic. But we don’t. We get the ball look up pass backwards, hoof it to nowhere or go back try and use the wide centre backs and lose it

That’s not just ‘playing badly’. Thats a complete lack of organisation. Wigan have far worse players but are drilled and structured and organised.

Mystified on what we are coached, but know what it isn't. Defending.

[jmjhb]

Feel sorry for the fans. We won't get these big crowds forever.

Totally agree.

Johnston completely messed up for that second goal. Santos has been shocking at headers all day.

They're making Forrester look good at this moment in time.

[DJBlu]

Think we could get 3 and the damage is still done. That 1st half is just Ian Evatt all over.
