Its the regular line up with a tweak or two. Probably our strongest match day squad. Wigan Stadium looks great............but..........Come on Stanley!!

Re: Wigan match thread

According to sky sports news it's down to our manager, CHRIS Coleman??? winning the manager of the month award

Re: Wigan match thread
 

Good job Hughes is playing stopped a couple more going in Conneelly managed to get himself booked for saying something to the ref sub him at half time he amongst others has had a mare 45 minutes to try and salvage something from an awful display, hopefully a one off good job no crowds I,d have been in town centre now.

Re: Wigan match thread
 

Well I never thought I’d see the day when Wigan entertained Acci at the DW and fancying the reds !!!
Can’t believe Acci conceding four as well,as the Tics are a young scratch team and couldn’t name a player who would get in Accis team.
Footballs a funny game :)

Re: Wigan match thread
 

These things can happen in football, that’s why we love the game.
Their penalty must have been a yard outside the box, whilst Nottingham must have been a yard inside it when fouled but wasn’t given.
Didn’t get going first half Wigan punished us.
We haven’t become a bad team overnight.
Roll on Tuesday at Gillingham on hopefully a better pitch.

Re: Wigan match thread
 

This league 1 this year is a pretty poor standard was saying the same to a fellow Stanley fan last week, Hull, Ipswich and Lincoln all beaten at home today and we were very poor today first half being punished by the bottom side, could argue we should have had a penalty today but that doesn't make up for a poor first half. We had a go second half with the attacking substitution,s but couldn't afford to concede again. Any side that can put a run together for the next quarter of the season will be up there. Hope it was a bad day at the office because we are capable of another run.

Re: Wigan match thread
 

Manager of the month curse.

Re: Wigan match thread
 

cannot weigh up what our manager sees in russell i think hes terrible.

Re: Wigan match thread
 

Curse of not turning up first 45 more like

Re: Wigan match thread
 

He doesn't add anything does he young Scully at least looked interested when he last played but as we aren't privy to training we don't see what goes on, McGuire another who has fell out of the pecking order.

Re: Wigan match thread
 

OK Twenty Eight.......you've posted that twice now in two different threads. I'm guessing your taking the non-confrontational option of match analysis. Well done. I think it's always best to wait until the next day to comment on a match.

For my part, I'm just pleased Coley proved he can and is willing to make changes in a match and for it to have an impact.

And not long to fester.....on to Gillingham on Tuesday night....

Re: Wigan match thread
 

Day after you can forget how awful your side was first half good strategy for a Bolton or Tranmere fan

Re: Wigan match thread
 

i was very pleased he made subs at half time,we certainly needed it. we were a bit better second half but to me apart from Hughes the defence was very poor today. i could not blame the keeper for any of the goals.

Re: Wigan match thread
 

Must have short memories on Russell.
It’s Maguire btw.

Re: Wigan match thread
 

Not picking on the lad but fact is his last 4 appearance,s have been nothing short of below par and it's a big squad, would love the lad to perform as he undoubtedly has talent but to me you have to deserve your place.

Re: Wigan match thread
 

Think that’s harsh, he made a difference when he came on today, it would be a different story if his header had gone in. He work’s tirelessly in that 3 in the middle.
I disagree about the big squad sentiment, especially when you consider Sangare is out injured.
Who else would you play in the middle in the system Coley has chosen?

Re: Wigan match thread
 

But it didn't go in unlucky each has ones own opinions if you think he has played well those last 4 games that's your choice others have theirs.

Re: Wigan match thread
 

So who would you play?

Re: Wigan game
 

I think you two are both looking at the wrong players. With Macca out Colby's just not been getting the service. Not enough decent crosses into the box. Pritchard nearly always opts to shoot these days and for some reason Uwakwe, when he plays. often opts to come in side (may just be good defending by other teams) instead of heading to the by-line and crossing, When he crosses his balls into the box are nearly always good quality.

Re: Wigan game
 

Sorry posted on wrong thread....... now corrected.....

Re: Wigan match thread
 

Yesterday was one of those games after the first 10 minutes every Stanley player apart from Hughes switched off Wigan got their tales up and even Coley said it could have been 5. You could apart from Hughes taken any player off at half time as for service to the front two the number of crosses / passes that zipped across the goalmouth I lost count it could have been 10-9 but the damage was done, team still learning and today hopefully it will be a lesson learnt wide open division no stand outs you can quickly drop as easily as go up so Gillingham will be big test of character.

Re: Wigan match thread
 

yeh can say what yeh want russell did make a difference yesterday. he was poorer than usual as far as im concerned,and agree with andy he has been off the boil for last few games.

Re: Wigan match thread
 

Agree Cashy. I put it down to them being young loanees. They obviously have ability but are learning the game. It's the reason they are with us after all. At least Coley has quality in numbers this year and is willing to rotate them. Something he hasn't either had the option to do or been willing to do in the past.

I don't remember feeling more positive about the team and its quality for many seasons. It will be interesting to see how they react to Saturday's set back at Gillingham on Tuesday.

A completely different type of game in prospect. I expect it will be an ugly game with lots of what Sean Mc refers to as the "dark arts". Gillingham tend to sit back, concede possession and frustrate teams only attacking on the break with long balls.....

Re: Wigan match thread
 

Your spot on loannees come to learn and are a risk of the six we have Baxter looks good but can't get in due to Savin,s form, Sangare the pick of the others in what he has shown injured. Cassidy willing work horse suffers from being on the bench, Russell, Uwakawe,and Allen have shown glimpses of what they can do but does it warrant runs in the side Coley decide,s. A fully fit McConville will surely if playing well will take one central midfield berth.

Re: Wigan match thread
 

Yeah you've said that twice in the same thread haha !
Going back to your comment about being constructive I decided not to comment and reflect.
Seamus had a poor game particularly with the standards hes recently set.
I expected him to be rested yesterday hes struggled with the covid so has his family. Ive no doubts there are others as well.
Pritchard has turned into a selfish player - probably under instruction - but his lack of awareness of others around him particularly the front two is not helping the cause in my opinion.
On to the next one .....

Re: Wigan match thread
 

Apart from the back 3 and keeper Pritchard has been our stand out player for me 6 goals in all competitions yes greedy at times as his Charles 7 goals they want to score and that is no bad thing supply to the front 2 well count 1st half as a one off 2nd half and even Coley said though not deserving of the win we could have had a hatful crosses on plates for strikers that game could have been 10-9 will be a totally different game Tuesday Gillingham long ball soak the pressure up team will be a hard test.

Re: Wigan match thread
 

glad for tomorrows game. cannot see the wigan result being repeated again this season. move on to the next match. we,ll not win em all and score 3 away goals without bringing something back again.

Re: Wigan match thread
 

How are Dale 2-0 up at Wigan???? :mad: :mad:

Re: Wigan match thread
 

who cares?

Re: Wigan match thread
 

thats football and one of the reasons we love it.

Re: Wigan match thread
 

The Wigan game looked like the game we play after the Xmas party.

Re: Wigan match thread
 

The worse thing about the ifollow coverage Di was the distance between the Camera and the Home dugout !.. A bit nearer and we could have watched and discussed the antics of your favorite Manager at some length don’t you think ?. :rolleyes::cool:

Stay safe !.
