Ref could/should have sent off two or three of their players for cheating and time wasting let alone for fouls
Starting line up for next season ..................................Bachman ..............Porteus ........Academy......Hoedt Ngakia.......Academy.......Asprilla.....Sema.....Morris ......................Asombalonga......Academy
Have to be a big overhaul . Hopefully this time any new signings will be useful . Where has Martins disappeared to ?
I think they were all 'off it' really, and they feed off each other. For me, the only one who had a half decent game was Koné - who is starting look like a great acquisition.
Yes, he was superb. His best game so far. Pedro’s every touch was horrible though, very out of character, leading me to think he must be carrying something. He was over-hitting or under-hitting by a minimum of 50% every single time - I’ve never seen him do that before.
Just trying too many flicks and tricks which didn’t work and we were too slow carrying the ball apart from Kone allowing Wigan to get back and block shots or if needs be fall over ! Dare I say we missed Sarr - maybe just as at least he has some pace to use if he wants to .
My thoughts yesterday were that we had our spirits lifted on Tuesday by a Brum defence that was non-existent during the first half, that made us look good. Wigan however were a team that has a packed defence, and there were no open spaces to run into. Pedro enjoys running at a defence, but a mixture of him having an off day, and their defence closing him down quickly, left me asking where else is a threat to their goal coming from.
He was weak. If he had applied sanctions properly then it would probably have ended 11 v 9. Yet another lily livered referee taking pity on the lower team in the league.
I thought he had a reasonable, far from perfect, but reasonable first half (when compared to other dross we’ve had). His second half was beyond dismal. Shocking, in fact.
