    Has anyone actually seen Josh Scowen's knees? I think someone has nicked them!

    Maguire needs to buck his ideas up. At least we can expect Johnson to make a change before 80 mins if things aren’t working.

    Wigan's second half is all set out so we need to make the most of the attacking options we have.

    I'd love to see a change at half time.

    It's probably automatic for them. Parkinson's tactic has been burned into their minds.

    First sub arriving in the 53rd minute imo.

    The shape of the team is much better but same old problem of putting the ball in the back of the net is our problem.

    Edit: second sub. Forgot about Hume.

    We are not the better team, we dont do team work we are fronted by three individuals who all think the others are to blame and try to score themselves to claim the glory they have done this from day one. We might have better individuals but the team is a shambles.

    Sorry clocky but we’ve been miles better than Wigan. They’ve done nothing themselves. 2 chances they’ve had have been gifted to them by us.

    Its up to the ref to stamp it out. It's one of my pet hates along with diving, but suppose if they are getting away with it, because the ref isn't getting his cards out early enough to stop it happening, then you probably can't blame them for doing it.

    1-0 down to a defensive mistake is disappointing but we've controlled Wigan. General play has been good, been on the front foot but final ball has been a bit dismal. Get the feeling if we scored one we'd get a few. H'way the second half comeback there.

    I miss Chariots of Fire playing during the intermission at SOL. I just found a one hour version of it on youtube. New half time tradition.

    Better play but still no final ball Mcgeady off Graham on on 80 mins maybe another 1-1 on the cards.

    Why does the ref stop that? It not a serious injury so has no reason to stop the game. Annoys the guck out of me

    This has been truly appalling.

    The team looks totally devoid of any creativity.

    Hes got a big job on his hands.
