Match Day Thread Wigan Athletic vs QPR

2-1 Here we go!

 

Well done BOS!

Now one more pkease!

 

1-2 Deflected shot from BOS. Our first bit of luck. Smith had a decent chance to make it 2-2

 

BOS what a substitution

 

Glasgow Rangers have had four penalties today.

 

Another good pass from Lynch.

 

They're playing the scum from down the road, the only time I'd want them to win

 

BFG off the bar.

 

Blocked I thought. Great shot. Smith dribbled past a player then gets brought down. Free close in.

 

Smith was surprisingly light footed and fast!

 

Manning on for Luongo who was close to a 2nd yellow just before. Smith headed a great Wells cross over.

 

We've been better since Smith come on today. 4 min.

 

Look likes at least one Wigan hand ball in their box at the end. No pen given and we lose 2-1

 

Poor result in a game we really should be taking all three points, if not at least a draw.
I wasn’t totally convinced about McLarens early praise for the importance of the loan signings and Rangel; but they really do seem to be the difference in our performances of late. We shall soon find out as they come back into the side.
Now it’s over to our cup run and time to put Portsmouth down and head for the home televised cup game.
C’mon u R’rrrrrrrrssssss - lets bounce back!!

 

1) kick the ball Lumley. For all their strengths Lynch and Leinstner aren't comfortable on the ball, playing it short will only put us under pressure. Freeman can play, but why is he coming short to start play from our own box?

2) move when you are off the ball. It gives the man on the ball options and it's your job. Stop standing still.

3) nice little ground and good atmosphere. Good following from us. I wasn't expecting many but our end looked pretty full.

4) at least one clear handball which should have given us a penalty. Ref didn't see it. Our guy (Freeman I think) had his back to the ref and yet the ref still reckon he saw he handballed it.

5) good fun afternoon but its freezing cold up north.

 

Just seen highlights & should’ve had a late pen for handball, on chances we deserved something out of it.

 

Looks a easy 18 points and a game against Watford to me
