Just what I was going to say, nobody blocks more for us than Luke, it's not even close. Almost every goal deflecting off him sounds like a pretty wild exaggeration too like.
Not taking anything away from today, but the amount of chances we create each game is unreal. Mind boggles at how many more points we could've had with a striker on the pitch over the past 5 games. All came together today. Tactics spot on in training clearly as the lads have adapted to playing without a striker, to become available in the box for chances created etc. And once again, Pritchards cross for Dennis finish was made all the sweeter seeing their number 11 turn his back during a half arsed attempt to block the cross. Their number 11 also took the piss while a particular chant was aimed at him while he was waiting to take a corner by bobbing his head along with the lyrics. He loves all the attention and **** he gets and I'm over the moon he was on the wrong end of the result playing for a tin pot ****ty club. Didn't understand the booing Power when he came over to take corners, but each to there own. Mention for Wyke, glad to see the big man getting better. No issues with him celebrating his goal, he probably spent months thinking he was finished after taking Ill. Broadhead, we'll never really know but good luck. Number 11, go n get f**ked. Zero respect for the club that made him, so much so, Danny Grahmam reportedly chinned him in the tunnel when he player for West Brom for taking the piss out of Sunderland fans. So in a nutshell Class result Great performance Well done the lads Get f**ked number 11
Five points off top, our first 'injury' back and making a big diffference ... ... Stewart, Simms, Ballard and Huggins would make us very hard to beat imo.
Now then, was that the linesman saying to proc he had 'checked them all' but still insisted he was off (as in offside) because if it was, it shows he is a lying tw@t because the stills show he was deffo onside!! also, nice to see wyke and power getting a good greeting off the lads at the bottom of the stairs.
Brilliant day, love the way the team are playing, right from the start, confident 1 touch passing and fast play, beautiful to watch. Wigan are a very poor, clogging, time wasting team. The ref was worse than diabolical. Neither the team or the crowd let their heads drop, both put in a fantastic effort until the final whistle. Football joy! Clapped Wyke off the pitch, McLean is classless, gave us a sly 2 fingers when he went to take a throw in. Sick of hearing about our lack of strikers, remind me, how many strikers do Wigan have, they’ve scored 15, we’ve scored 19. I love Stewart but we’ve still got one hell of a team until he’s back. OAU, FTM Still got a smile on my face, and will wake up with one in the morning too!
Can't say I noticed Broadhead today. nice to see Wyke playing football. like Power but he lets himself down against us - holding his face in the Pritchard collision- should be ashamed that someone Pritchard's size can knock him over in the first place. McLean is scum.
Might be wrong but I always felt he struggled with the pressure of big crowds and a big occassion. He always seems to be injured at just the wrong time, as he was for us and Wales iirc.
