Match Day Thread Sunderland AFC v Wigan Athletic FC – Saturday 15th October 2022 - KO 15:00

That's the best thing at the moment.

I would hate being a club that had its aim as being the club who could outspend and outlay and land anyone through financial muscle. Not exciting and not really satisfying

 

lot been said about wigans 'style of play', as i said earlier they could not match us for football so resort to stopping games at any cost, which was also a massive problem in div 3, i just did not expect to see it in this league...i get the feeling they will be found out over the 2nd half of the season

 

Said to my Dad on the way out, if that's how they play they will be in trouble

 

Agreed. Apparently this was well spoken of on the Sky scores round up show this afternoon.

Good luck to him. He did his job up here once the odious Parkinson was booted out. He would do better still in a team that played some football before booting it into the box!

 

Aye. Best win of the season for me.

They are good away, and you could see why. But they couldn't really handle us when we got the ball moving.

And this is a very honest team. We have seen enough of chancers, incompetents, no marks and has beens to last a life time. Honesty is in this team, and more than anything it's the thing I like.

 

O'Nien has been quite suspect the season. Not faulting effort but would question ability. almost every goal conceded is a deflection from Luke

 

Great win and nice to see Cirkin back, the kid is premier league quality.
What made my day though was watching that ****er McLean get absolutely tortured all afternoon by our own Jinky Robert’s. The lad looks like he’s loving being here and is playing some good stuff.
Thanks for the thread RTB, big part of my Saturdays

 

****ing get in. That was brilliant. Even the rain couldn't spoil it

 

Their fanbase on Twitter is almost as bizarre as ours. I’ve seen at least 20 different Wigan fans wanting Richardson sacked.

 

Any word on why Ba was missing? Thought he might start in place of Evans

 

seems to be a case of michut, Ba and Matete cycling around with 2 out of 3 getting on bench

 

Fair enough. After years of being short, we are now overloaded with central midfielders

 

and 4 of the 5 of them are going to keep improving for next 3-4 years

 

Great squad.

Diditnt get to see all ov the game. Deadling withing something much more important.

Great result

 

hope all good

 

If it's a defection off you mind, it usually means you're trying to stop a shot. It means you're doing your job.

 

Hope all is okay with the important stuff.

 

Was related to the Northumbria Police statement on Friday,. Derwent street. Family member was raped.

 

Weird isn’t it. Coming out of the ground I heard people complaining. “We’ll if we hadn’t….”

WE ****ING DID. AND IF WED HAD MORE LUCKWED HAVE BEEN COMFORTABLE!!!

Sorry! Notshouting at you!!! Just annoys the hell out of me.

Thouht they were superb. Second half was brilliant

 

Agree, how many times in recent seasons have we dominated first half and gone in HT a goal behind, then completely disappeared second half.
Today wasn't one of those and we kept at it, got the goals ' at the right time' whatever that means, and looked a proper hard working team with decent players.
Credit to both Manager and the players. Long may it continue.
