Re: Wigan Athletic Checkatrade Trophy Game
 

Bearing in mind we where playing a very weakened Wigan team. It was a good performance, Stanley's fringe players did all they could. Apart from man of match Sousa, Scottie brown pulled the strings In midfield, Nolan was good enforcer alongside him, this helped are twocentre backs be in command of Wigan's attack. All the forward players had there moments. Tonight will do Jonny Edwards confidence no harm. On the Sousa debate, he could certainly change a game with his ability, negative is can he do it against league 2 defenders and he is not good at defending. I would certainly bring him on if we needed to change/affect a game. Blackburn in next round please if they got through!

Blackburn are OUT on Pens.

Re: Wigan Athletic Checkatrade Trophy Game
 

Great report Chevyfire!
Glad to see Nolan back, I for one think he makes a big difference to our midfield.
Wigan may have played their 'reserves' tonight, but they're still a much bigger club than Stanley.
In any case, according to some on here - SO DID WE!
A brilliant result!

Re: Wigan Athletic Checkatrade Trophy Game
 

Efl site says Blackburn through in second (teams get a point for losing on pens)

Re: Wigan Athletic Checkatrade Trophy Game
 

Wigan presumably couldn't weaken their side much more than we did? They're not the 'A' team in the group, so they're subject to the same strange rules, whatever they are, as us.

Don't care anyway, it's a half-baked competition but better this year than last, and if it takes us to Wembley, I'll be there ....

Re: Wigan Athletic Checkatrade Trophy Game
 

If either team win in 90 they are out, they need a draw and a pen win for stoke by the looks of it.

Re: Wigan Athletic Checkatrade Trophy Game
 

We played some excellent football at times tonight - very impressed with midfield, particularly sousa and nolan. MOM for me was Brown - at the heart of nearly everything, passing game was excellent and fitness seems to have dramatically improved. We kept playing a high tempo passing game even at 3-0 up. Coley should take a chance and play the same 11 (obviously swap kee for ogle from the off) in our cup replay next week.

Re: Wigan Athletic Checkatrade Trophy Game
 

What a great performance, even the interview was audible. ;)
Well done to all involved.

Re: Wigan Athletic Checkatrade Trophy Game
 

:)Maybe they're prepared for (& financially not bothered about) the fines they'll receive for playing what was, according to their own fans on twitter their under 18's team??
Maybe shows again just how cocky Paul Cook was about the game as they only needed a draw to progress - well, that backfired - what a shame :D:rolleyes:

Re: Wigan Athletic Checkatrade Trophy Game
 

Seemed to me J.C. cut interview short for a reason? was good to actually be able to hear it though.
