RED@BS14 Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 36 minutes ago, CiderCraig said: On the basis of gaining/not gaining points against particular teams, it’d be fair to say we shouldn’t be gaining 3 points away to Sheff U and M’boro. However, we did, and we got 7 points against 3 teams we should’ve only got 3 against. By my reckoning we’re 4 points better off than we should’ve been, I’d deem that a result! Belt yourself in, you’re going to have many more stressful days than today. We maybe should’ve won, but after 65 mins many would have taken a point, obviously you were already spitting feathers at that point. Why shouldn’t of we got 6 points against Sheff U and Boro, you seem surprised. We are good enough to be anyone on our day. At 3 o clock today, I like most people around me was expecting 9 points from 9 (as you seem to view it) what happened last week is irrelevant.

Mr Popodopolous Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 When we had all the momentum and Wright missed that chance, I had a bit of a fear that it may come back to bite us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Balls Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 12 minutes ago, The Dolman Pragmatist said: Very disappointing how much better their set pieces were than ours. Did we deliver a good corner all match? Eliasson couldn’t get past the near post, and Da Silva’s corner just before he was subbed was an embarrassment. On the other hand, every Wigan corner landed in the danger zone and seemed to cause chaos. We kept going for the near post routine with no obvious success. The delivery from their number 12, Reece James, caused us problems right from the start of the match. Overall I would say that we struggle to score as many goals as we might, because we so rarely get the ball into the penalty box, either from open play, or we waste set plays. Others have already referred to how slow our build up was in the first half, but there was also no incision. Paterson was a really weak link in midfield and should have gone off at half time. Palmer can flatter to deceive but so much stronger and quicker, less touches, and better through balls into the box when he came on. Unfortunately we got what we deserved from this game. We were poor first half. They were committed and their equaliser was a matter of sheer desperation from a team at risk of relegation. It was also horribly predictable given our record at home against teams down at the bottom of the table. We should have built on the second goal, and really gone for a third, but we went back into our shells somewhat, and tried to see out the game. Wrong decision!

Wrongagain Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Playing with 10 until the subs, YKH chased around like a hare and no end effect - same old - feel the love after the subs different game until we went 2-1, should have closed out the game - lucky results elsewhere helped us out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it “absolute bollocks” to say we didn’t expect 7 points from the last three games? Is it “absolute bollocks” to say we’re in right in the hunt for a play off place? Is it “absolute bollocks” to suggest now would be a good time for the fans to remain positive? Look forward to hearing from you. (It’s “you’re” by the way.) YOU’RE obviously happy and surprised with 7 points from the last three games. Although what last weeks games have got to do with a thread about City v Wigan I don’t know.

I certainly didn't expect 3 points, given our home record, especially against teams battling to avoid relegation. I hoped we might get 3 points, but despite a glorious 10 minutes in the second half after the substitutions, the rest of it, with the exception of Diedhiou, who was immense, lived down to the experiences against Ipswich and Rotherham. Perhaps we needed Mr Stroud to send off 2 of their players to give us more of a chance?!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidered abroad Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Today we just wasted two of the points that were so hard earned at Bramall Lane and the Riverside. When is Wonder coach going to learn how we should play at home? It really is turgid what we have to watch at Ashton Gate and in his post game interview, he seemed pleased with seven from nine. I'm not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin-hugh-blind Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Right now I would take a draw Vs WBA and villa. Keep us in amongst it then push last few games when teams are likely to have nothing to play for. 13 points required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not. These games against teams battling at the bottom with nothing to lose are difficult, but should we fail to make the playoffs, it's games like this that we look back on as being wasted opportunities, and as points lost. Good teams win games like today. Can you imagine Norwich struggling at home like that? No, neither can I. 2 points out of a possible 12 in our last 4 home games, and one of the worst home records in the division, suggests we have a significant problem.

Red-Robbo Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 I was impressed with Wigan's #12 Reece James. Moved the ball around very well, was robust and a threat going forward. Not surprised to discover that he is yet another Chelsea loannee. One to watch, I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When is Wonder coach going to learn how we should play at home? It really is turgid what we have to watch at Ashton Gate and in his post game interview, he seemed pleased with seven from nine. I'm not. Think it comes down to the fact that Johnson is a defence minded coach. Witch ever way you look at it we started with 5 defenders at home against a side with one of the worse away record of any in our league. When we play away he doesn't have to gamble, he knows what's coming at us. We very rarely start on the front foot at home allowing sides such as Ipswich, Brum and today to get into a comfort zone very early. Both Hull and Brentford far to easy took control and we were quite fortunate to take points from those games. Today with 5 defenders on the pitch and 3 on the bench is surly lopsided? We can only hope he gets the courage of his conviction and has a go from the start in the remaining home games and we don't end up with if only. Must say watching the Brighton Man C game it looked to me like they were happy not take a hammering, Semi Final? Just hope we don't play safe give it a real go. If we fail no problem, bring on next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
