[The Original OTIB]

Pressing hard now Wigan, we need to do the same, turn them around.

[Spike]

Sykes is getting some hospital passes to him atm

Max is doing my nut in.....everytime he holds the ball up they reset.....seize the initiative.

He`s been a bit nervy all night I reckon.

[Super]

What a shit free kick!

[Spike]

Skyes showing us there what we've been missing all game, cutting inside, causing problems. Sykes is so much better in that position, Andi just doesn't have that cut-inside and cause-problems mentality. 

[The Original OTIB]

Hit first time!

I think he's been looking for a quick release but being told to slow it down. I've seen James motioning for him to slow down and let us get shape a few times when he's been up quickly looking up field.

[Spike]

Clumsy that from Tanner, lucky he just got the yellow.

[The Original OTIB]

50/50 that surely

[The Gasbuster]

**** off McLean

*** !

[Vidal]

Tanner lucky boy.

[Lrrr]

Tanner does love a slide tackle  

[The Gasbuster]

Hit him Nige !

I thought it was fair enough, bad tackle that could have caused a nasty injury.

He was the dangerous one - slid in out of control. George just held his ground.

[The Original OTIB]

Why card Sykes?

[The Gasbuster]

Send the wanchor off

Tanner was about 20 minutes late.

[B1ackbird]

Oh no another Cun***gham....

[petehinton]

They decided about 20 minutes ago maybe 1-1 is a good result for them after all. Poor and ugly game since then. Probably should’ve won it still. Pearson will probably be pretty furious at them after that 

[Vidal]

I don’t know why Wigan are playing for a draw they could do us

[Super]

We've not done enough tonight. They deserved something from the game.

[Slippin cider]

FT 1-1

[Alessandro]

Quick thoughts for the night:

Positives: Still unbeaten - Joe Williams, best performance in a City shirt? - Mehmeti looks a real talent - Scott still not suspended

Negatives: Well it's not a result for a play off chasing team () - switched off badly for their goal, so soft - Weimann rusty, missed Sykes' recent levels 

[luke_bristol]

Disappointing result but completely predictable. On to the next one.

[Vidal]

Content with the draw. Didn’t deserve a win and wigan could’ve done us. 
 

if you don’t play well don’t lose and we didn’t.

[pillred]

Well that was underwhelming to say the least.

George’s studs were up on the boot he went in with, still dangerous from George, another ref could easily see that another way 

[TonyTonyTony]

McLean - what a massive ***

Think Wigan did us a massive favour in that when they scored they just sat back and defended.
