Wigan Athletic at home match thread


Recommended Posts

Deep defensive line from Wigan giving them a lot of safe passes along the back, that possession doesn't mean danger for us, they're playing it down the sides and inside only if one midfielder or winger gets into space, if not they're playing for the corners and the throws.

Every time they've tried to play down the middle we've pinched it and got forward up the pitch.

We're not going to press their wide centre backs because if we do we'll leave gaps for Sinani, Aasgard, Darikwa and McLean down the sides. 

Midfield got a lot of side to side running to do and when we pinch the ball we got to be ready to release the front 3. 

Win the battles out on the wings defensively and we can see this game out.

COYR.

We aren’t fortunate to be ahead at all. We are ahead because of a fantastic piece of skill and a strong finish from Mehmetti and Atkinson. There’s nothing fortunate about good football.

This will be a tough second half. Wigan have pegged us back a couple of times in recent years here, let’s hope they don’t get the opportunity to do it again.

Even first half: more possession from City, attacking threats from both sides but few clear chances. Quality assist by Mehmeti for Rob's goal, some good moves by Scott and Cornick,  defensive positioning not perfect here and there, a bit lucky at the end of the half (crossbar).

Absolutely right imo.  The difference between clubs at this level is passages of quality.  That is precisely what Mehmeti andAtkinson offered.

More of the same please in second half
