Indeed eric,been saying for a while one of these days we will smash a team. Nice to have pablo back,and credit to dallas he got a slating recentley. MOT
Perfect example of how team work, A one on one turns into a one on eight,only one wigan player even tried to get up the park.
Anyone interested but Pedrazza and Antonnuci bothe scored today and our loaned out Cibicki rattled another one in
Once again we dominated possession & played some scintillating football but failed to capitalise on taking a woeful Wigan side to the cleaners, once we were gifted a second goal the floodgates should have opened & Leeds fans should have witnessed a battering our slick football warranted. A win is a win & three points is great but we need to be more clinical in front of goal. Positives Our general play is so pleasing on the eye. Hernandez's performance. A masterclass from Phillips, hardly put a foot wrong. Our first goal. Defending better at corners Coming from behind to win the game Three points. We're top of the league. Negatives Conceding from yet another set-piece. Not finishing off a poor Wigan side, would have been an injustice had the Latics equalised Yet another poor referee Ratings 6 Peacock- Farrell 7 Dallas 7 Jansson 9 Phillips 7 Cooper 8 Douglas 9 Hernandez 7 Forshaw 8 Klich 7 Alioski 7 Roofe n/a Shackleton
Superb, 8 players back means everyone got back apart from Roofe and Pablo who had gone down when we lost the ball - every friggin player
Also,we made no subs,ok one in injury time, No one injured,so can we put this overtraining theory to bed?
Agree with most of this, didn’t think Philips was all that today... gave the ball away a few times with some poor passes. Solid but wasn’t in my thinking for MOM. Klich, Douglas, Pablo the 3 standouts for me, though it was more about the team than individuals. The only additional negative from me was the defensive communication, a few mix ups between keeper and centre halves.
You must have been watching a different game Milky That's my boy please log in to view this image Man of the Match Sky Our coach just ahead of Pablo Clear 2nd to Pablo on Waccoe Clear 2nd with 23 votes only two behind Pablo on LeedsTalk 2nd on MOT (I think) Proving his doubters wrong once again please log in to view this image
Big difference for me is he used to rush in and give away a foul and often hot booked. Now his tackles tend to work. Think that’s due to combination of experience and good coaching. Distribution has improved, think that’s due to plsying deeper.
Nah. You can’t say don goodman is a tool and then agree with his MOM. Or ignore the fact that loads of sheep on other forum’s just agree with sky because they can’t form an opinion on their own Seriously there was a spell in the game where he gave the ball away cheaply two or three times. Other than that he was solid but it was a cushioned ride, Wigan we’re hopeless. He was good but not the stand out for me. I have already eaten all my hats re Phillips this year... he’s been great... but I’m down to my last beanie and the weather is turning, so I’m not eating another one today!!
Wigan had little up front because Philips kept taking the ball off them and wouldn't give it them back
Morning all. 2 interesting things from that - Sheffield United were ahead of the fabled 2 points per game after 16 played and are still stuck here now. Fulham aren't even in the top half. Moral of the story? There's a long way to go.
