sh1t_ref_again Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Just watched the highlights, had not realised that Fam volleyed it with one touch for his goal, must have had a bet with someone he would score a volley today, at least 3rd time lucky after 2 cracking efforts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are absolutely right nobody is saying they are disappointed we won just fairly critsising a poor overall performance but no one is acting like we won the FA cup either!

JamesBCFC Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 22 minutes ago, Leveller said: You can’t have it both ways - it’s the result that matters most. In past bad runs, reasonable performances that led to unlucky defeats have been written off. So, when a bad performance leads to a lucky win, you have to use the same criteria. Often, lucky results help build up some confidence that leads to improved performances. Let’s make the most of it. This is 100% true. During the original 23 odd game bad run under LJ, there were a number of decent performances (as well as a number of shocking ones) and in quite a few of those games you could say we were unlucky not to win/draw instead of draw/lose. But that was at first ignored, because of how lengthy the winless run was getting, and later forgotten as the number of bad performances got exaggerated, with the exaggerated number then being taken as fact.

Numero Uno Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 26 minutes ago, Northern Red said: To be fair, I haven't noticed anyone who seems upset that we won. Quite a few saying it doesn't change their opinion, which is fine and frankly I'd be surprised if one win off a largely poor performance did. What'll be more revealing is the people who won't be on over the next couple of days. We all know who they are. Totally agree with this. Plenty give it the “Johnson Out” one minute and “yesssssssssssssss” when the ball goes in the next which is totally ok with me. You can celebrate a win and want the Manager our, they’re not mutually exclusive. Its the small minority of posters who are the most vocal when it’s all going wrong and literally silent when we win that puss me off. We all know who they are.

Oh and by the way I’m happy we won the game, if you care to check you’ll see that was my opening statement when entering the debate. So you can piss off with your “disappointed we won” bollocks. Just because you can’t grasp the idea of being happy we won while still holding reservations about the performance and the manager, some of us can.

marcofisher Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Just got back, Pato MOTM by far. Brought some technical ability that was absent in the team before and took his goal well, but his chip assist for Fam is as good as you’ll see.

I think we can all agree whether we are Johnson In/Out that performances have been sub standard for too long now. You cannot set any team up to perform poorly/rely on resilience alone and win over a sustainable period of time. You get found out in the end. Hopefully grinding out a win like we did today can give the team a shot in the arm. Sometimes that’s all it takes...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes that’s all it takes...... Absolutely, wasn't making any comment on today's game, and the last one I saw any of was the Luton game, where we did actually play quite well, albeit against poor opposition. I was agreeing with the point that @Levellerwas making. When we have had bad results in the past but played well, the result was the most important thing, but when we play less well and get a good result it is "papering over the cracks" or something similar and the performance itself becomes the main thing. Hopefully today's result will be a shot in the arm, as you say. And with another game that has to be seen as a winnable one on Tuesday, it's a chance to have confidence running high going into next weekend's game.

wendyredredrobin Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Fam put in a good shift today. I do wonder why he doesn't do that more often. He seems to play like a man possessed after he has scored. Korey added the missing steel in the middle and Pato was the man that really made the difference. Personally I didn't think Andi Weimann had one of his best games, but he always puts in the effort. I also prefer Taylor Moore to Williams due to his height, pace and ability to bring the ball out of defence. We didn't create anything before we scored though and we need a tactical rethink in that department. Over the moon with 3 points today, but Wigan offered very little and we are miles off the top 3 or 4 in terms of quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Pato, but the problem is he is like Matty Taylor, good off of the bench as an impact player but doesn't do so well when he starts games.

He was on fire today, on another day he would have walked away with the match ball. He seems to be getting some form together and beginning to hit a bit of a purple patch, long may it continue.

winsaw Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Was there today my thoughts on the game, a poor first half that Wigan had the better of but there lack of a quility striker cost them, the changes Lee mage worked well today, Pato coming on and changing to a 3 up front made a real difference, suddenly Fam was unplayable he was bossing the defence and Pato and Nic where making great use of the space, took our goals well against a good keeper and it turned into an easy win with us seeing things out well in the end, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I recognised that tackle as one of my own creations from back in the day. In the 1970's I chucked a good half dozen of those in every Saturday in the Welsh League. #oneteaminbritonferry.......there's only one team (you know the rest)!

Numero Uno Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Based on the highlights only Big Dave was a right handful today. 30 yard screamer, header he would have scored if the cross wasn’t slightly behind him, forced a class save from Marshall, set up Pato and found the onion bag himself. What more can you ask for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
