Wiggin game

[bobo the clown]

Right. I decided not to watch or listen today.

So, go on, put me out of my misery ... How many did we lose by this time ?

So, we've equaled our away wins from last season already!

We've also doubled our home losses !!

Man of the Match for Bolton - Gary Caldwell. He really is shite. I thought he was about 36 but apparently only 29.

[TANGODANCER]

Not sure I watched the same game as some. Robinson was up against real pace and trickery and coped well enough. Boyata didn't miss a sitter, he came in like the wrath of God and was a bit unlucky. We showed more energy and fight today than for a fair while. Wigan have some decent players and played very well in places. They were always dangerous on the break and our lads really fought for every ball. The Robinson yellow will make Mike Dean cringe when he sees what a twonk he's been in the replays. The Wigan defenders resorted to clogging seond half and I thought I was watching Wigan Warriors in places. Pity about the KD penalty, he needed that; he should have Frannie Lee'd it in the top corner, but he still keeps defences occupied, had an assist and was unlucky first half when Al Habsi made a good save from him and we've got players aound him with N'gog and Eagles who support well. Eagles was terrific today.

As for the pedestrian comment, I thought it was a real end-to-ender with bags of effort all round. A ding-dong do, in fact. Well done the lads.

Great result. Just what we needed. Another win next week and all will be sorted. Kind of.

Have we lost in the Black shirts yet ??
Can't recall what we were in at Liverpool and Arsenal.

[Annoyed Grunt]

Just got back....good result.....and a fantastic away end as well.

Spent the day doing useful stuff and will watch on MotD tonight.Nice to see smiling faces.Good result and should be a start to a successful march to mid table mediocrity. Hurrah! Most exciting league in the world!

[Peter Thompson]

Much better performance in terms of effort, energy & tempo and we moved the ball around well and with pace at times and we should have won much more comfortably as we had some decent chances to put the game to bed, but I thought Wigan were a very poor side....

Eagles & Wheater stood out for me both had very good games, especially Eagles, Boyata did well and N'gog again looked decent....I thought Coyle should have brought Gardner on at LB just after HT as Moses was doing Robinson for pace throughout the game - and yet again everything from Wigan came down that side.

K Davies had a slightly better game, and did well for the 2nd goal - but saying that Wigan's defence is even worse than ours, but if that pathetic penalty attempt had cost us the points he'd have got both barrels - he never looked like scoring and he was always going to fire it down the middle - its was a truly awful attempt at a crucial time in the match, he should have let someone else take it as it could have proved costly - and he's getting slower in every game he plays.

All in all a much needed good win (it always is against those Wigan t**ts....), and a reasonable performance which should breed much needed confidence - at long last well done Owen Coyle & the team.

[BWFC_Insane]

Good result and an encouraging if not totally convincing performance!

Plus points..

Eagles, magical display, full of running and effort, plus no little skill.
Wheater, fantastic, showed how wrong Coyle has been keeping plonker Knight in all this time, though have to qualify it by saying Wigan have less attacking threat than any other premiership team!
NRC, an outstanding commanding midfield performance.
NGog, ran his balls off, showed strength pace and skill. Not sure he always does the right thing on the ball, but a good scoring start!


Minus points
Robinson, simply cannot cope against pace, however basic the player is, and Moses is very very basic!
Petrov, powder puff, so frustrating. At times he looks like he's about to explode and do something brilliant then he forgets where he is and resembles a strictly come dancing entrant!
Pratley, did nowt wrong just dont think he's great in a 4 man midfield, leaves us exposed too often with ambitious forward runs.


However, at least we saw a reaction and performance! And we didn't do what some were advocating and try and grind out some sort of a 0-0 or a 1-0 we simply aren't that sort of team anymore and even if at times it would be better if we were, we aren't!

Wigan barely got a decent sight of goal even when we were under a bit of pressure. They were very poor!

Oh and 4M was fantastic business for Al Habsi based on today's display!

[Gail Platz]

YES!!!

Wigan are so bad, I would be absolutely amazed if they stay up this season.

Good stuff:
- Eagles - Definitely his best game for us so far, caused loads of problems down the wing, and finally an away goal in front of the Bolton fans!
- Wheater - Showed again why he is a million times better than Knight and why he should always be in the side. Cool, solid defender.
- Ngog - Got to say he's surprised me, I had him down as a really bad player when he signed but his movement and feet look very good.

Bad stuff:
- Davies - By far and away the worst player we have, he is an absolute liability and offers nothing to us. If he loves BWFC, he should rightly step aside and let our other strikers have a go because we've in effect been playing with 10 men for far too long now, dragging his arse along with us. Time to go KD, please please please.
- Robinson - He gets worse and worse by the game, at times I wonder if he's actually taking the piss with some of the things he does. Ricardo Gardner needs to fill in at left back until we get a proper one.
- Pratley - Too slow and not good enough for the Premier League. Offers nothing in attack, is alright at tackling but we need an attacker alongside Reo Coker, not another clobber.

One final note, I'm so glad we beat these men today because their players are cheating sly bastards. Did anyone else notice every time they went in for a tackle, they'd fall on their arse, over the ball or blocking off the ball? Blatant obstruction so many times throughout the match and I'm not too clued up on the rules of obstruction but surely what they were doing were not in the laws of the game.

[TKIZ!]

Pretty much sums up how I'm feeling after this game, thanks Bish

[irie Cee Bee]

Happy for the win today. The team played well and in particular Eagles, Wheater, Boyata and Cahill.

[thebish]

And we didn't do what some were advocating and try and grind out some sort of a 0-0

nobody advocated grinding out a 0-0 (however often you say it).

Interesting to read all the positive reviews. Listening to Charlie Nicholas on Sky and he said we were in control and rarely looked in danger. Then I read the match report on BBC website. 'Wigan dominated the game for long periods'
