Re: Wigan Athletic home match thread
Really nice to read all the sanguine comments on here about Saturday's game; from where we were sat, Wigan were indeed superb - I suspect the most complete performance by any away team I have seen since we started coming in 2009. Fans seemed to be first class, atmosphere was brilliant - nor do I think our lads disgraced themselves - sometimes it's just a case of doffing caps in the right direction the Wigan Latics were just too good on the day.
And on that note: when you consider Messrs Richardson, Beattie, Murphy, Ali were sat on the bench, and even Sarah who used to work in the office at our place and now runs the Football Administration side at Wigan was sat with their directors, one might argue that Wigan's return to excellence has in no little way been "MADE IN ACCRINGTON". And we should surely celebrate that.
And finally from me I'm glad folk are beginning to take more and more notice of Dave Morgan's contribution to the team. I think he's been a fantastic acquisition and he'll only get better. I also think his interview with Dan last week revealed an intelligent, thoughtful character; I wonder if any diplomatic skills he may have developed as the former Sandgrounders' captain might be usefully deployed in improving the current mindset of a certain ex-colleague of his from Haig Avenue...
No pressure - just idle speculation about the potentially helpful skill-set of one of our squad....
