it was a good result for us because we didn't play very well but still more than matched you and thoroughly deserved a point. we started the match incredibly nervously but second half we controlled the match - it wasn't until we tired that wigan pressed for a winner which they nearly got but it would have been harsh on either side for a winner to have been found. we will play ten times better than that this season and still get beat. we seem to start quite slowly and build up under lambert because he likes to initially give the players who got us up their chance. you basically played out team from last year - our new boys were on the bench, waiting for their chance to impress and from what i've seen, at least five of them are improvements on what we had before. good luck for the season
I am not going to argue with what you have said. At times is was not great and I too was worried about some aspects BUT....................look at the bigger picture before slating the team as the media have done. Most of the team on the pitch was last seasons team and PL has been loyal to them to give them a chance to see how they will (or not) cope at the higher level, as he did last season. We have other players, who in my opinion, might have done a better job on Saturday and given Wigan more problems but PL is no fool and will do all he can to get as many points as possible. If that is not good enough at the end of the season then so be it but there is no point in being negative at an away point on the 1st day. It could have been worse - ask QPR fans how they feel today! We need to allow at least 10 games to pass before we can start to think if we may or may not be good enough to survive and allow PL the time to try different players and tactics etc.
