    Enjoying a little tour on the Wigan forums. As usual a range of opinions from us being really poor, getting a soft penalty and how they should have been winning at HT to them being the worst team ever to grace a football field.

    Was a stonewall penalty mind

    Clarke worries me. He's dropped off alarmingly since the World Cup. He started the season like a train but seems unable to even beat his man right now. Once we have some players back from injury, he could do with a spell out the team to rest up I think

    Took me until the end of Emmerdale (20.00hrs) to get through on the red button Clocky, I reckon my missus was standing on the wire or something :emoticon-0105-wink::emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Don't think even the most optimistic amongst us thought we'd end 2022 4th place in The Championship

    He was brilliant on Boxing Day and off his game tonight, probably just needs to be benched for a game or two

    Yeah, maybe I'm being harsh - he was good v Blackburn and wing back isn't his position. Suppose it just shows the standards he set earlier this season

    He looks mentally tired like he's run out of fresh ideas so he has to turn to his default moves but defenders at this level are wise to them.

    Like you say we know he's got the ability to smash it at this level he just needs a bit of a rest.

    Hopefully we've learned from Dan Neil and Calum Doyle's struggles last season. No sense in burning these kids out

    And some of us worried about an ex Sunderland players backlash....we really should have more faith in the new regime, iI'd have been happy with mid table obscurity but now the sky's the limit....If we hang into LND.

    Don't you just love TM, and some complain he sends them to sleep, he talks more sense than our previous half dozen managers imo.

    I’m not sure he’s even bothered, he turned us down could of been here if he really wanted too.
