Wigan Away Match Thread

[Saint_clark]

Those are the boring bits of football anyway ...

You two are about to suggest we should have kept Pellegrino, aren't you.

Won't be long until one of these corners ends up in the back of our net.

[Pamplemousse]

We’re defending far too deep in my opinion. Every time they get the ball we just seem to retreat. Contrast with Wigan’s relatively high line.

[danjosaint]

What's with managers playing tadic on right

[davefoggy]

Wigan players want it so more than us. Pathetic

[Lighthouse]

None of his attribute will work today against them.

 

Carrillo has attributes?

[wadesmith]

Explain...?

 

Ha, are you joking?? Ha ha.

[Batman]

Brilliant analysis from Keown at the corner

 

"I think the ball is going to be whipped in"

 

What are the chances!

Nah not a chance I've been saying for along time the manager is only half the problem to many passengers not enough quality in the squad.

[Batman]

Carrillo is an absolute passenger

[Greenridge]

They’re using 5-a-side rules and giving Wigan 1 point for every corner.

[Pamplemousse]

Sims on at half time for Tadic

[alpine_saint]

Carrillo is an absolute passenger

 

I'd swap him for Long.

[doddisalegend]

Ooh a half decent ball into the box.

[Saint Pete]

Great ball from Bertrand, more of that please.

[Heisenberg]

This is a miserable, miserable Saints team....

 

So slow, so little passion or desire - such a frustrating team these days

[Pamplemousse]

At least we’re getting early balls in to Gabbi.

[BotleySaint]

Carrillo is an absolute passenger

Yes he'll be off at half time. Looks disinterested. Not happy about Pellegrino going I guess.

[CB Fry]

Pellegrino's gift to us was the opportunity to play this game.

 

If nothing else it works great as a pre-season/warm up/run out for the new manager to learn something.

 

What he's learning now is he has one hell of a job on.

[alpine_saint]

I guess Sparky has a better idea of what he's facing now.

 

Glad its Wigan and not the West Ham game

[5string]

Ha, are you joking?? Ha ha.

 

Ok, perhaps I wasn't clear enough. Please specify which types of comments you're criticising:

the ones bemoaning poor play

the ones wishing Wigan weren't better in midfield

the ones wondering why we don't have a League 1-beating philosophy 20 minutes into our first game with a new manager

other.

 

Your comment was fairly unclear so I was just hoping for a bit more clarity.

If you don't want to give it: fair enough.

[alpine_saint]

f**k him, he can sit in the ressies.

[OttawaSaint]

Ok deep breaths. It’s going to take at least 45 minutes to shake the Pellegrino **** out of their systems. Hopefully Hughsie has analysed the first half and will change things, give the hairdryer treatment etc.

[Saint Pete]

Carrillo is an absolute passenger

 

Yep, agree he is not offering anything to us in this game.

 

Would be tempted to to take him off for Long or Sims at half time and have Gabbiadini up top.

[SuperSAINT]

Yellow card for time wasting any of our players who long ball it up to our forwards.

[Saints foreva]

This is ****ing pathetic.

 

We need Romeu on imo.

[OttawaSaint]

Energy and pace seems good. Just need to calm down, a bit panicky when we get it.

[davefoggy]

Our lot look beaten already, terrible body language, heads down. Embarrassing

[Batman]

Cedric is such a terrible right back

[doddisalegend]

Jesus they just cut our defence open at will.

[5string]

Wheesht! Wake up, Saints!

 

At the very least make some tackles.

[adrian lord]

Commentators are just gagging for Wigan to win ... pathetic.

 

Certainly seems so.

[Saint Billy]

We might as well be playing Man City.

[miserableoldgit]

We are SO slow in defence...unbelievable!!

[SFC-TID!]

The BBC commentary is embarrassing. So pro Wigan.

 

Carrillo is terrible, I’d like to see Long with Gabbi.

 

Yoshi needs to play, if drop Stephens.

[jawillwill]

This is painful to watch so far.

[doddisalegend]

So is everyone in agreement this is our best 11?

[Suhari]

Good game to learn from this is. Glad we've got this one before any league matches.

[Saint-Beer]

Everyone is so negative on here! Got to give Hughes a chance, never going to change over night.

Every time the ball goes loose it goes to a Wigan player.

[captainchris]

We must engage the player on the BALL!!!!!

Clearly not doing that particularly the full backs!

[5string]

Getting a mite pee'd off with the commentators. Beckenbauer?!

[Saint_clark]

So is everyone in agreement this is our best 11?

No. Tadic on the left, Sims on the right, Gabbi and Long up top. Yoshida in for either Hoedt or stephens.

We are getting pummelled here....

[Suhari]

I do wonder about our general fitness. We don't look sharp at all.

[CB Fry]

Commentators are just gagging for Wigan to win ... pathetic.

We, no they're not. Man up.

[Batman]

I would have Carrillo and boufal off at HT for sims and romeu

[doddisalegend]

I'm half expecting Hughes to hand in his notice at half time saying that on reflection this job is to big.

[adrian lord]

We’ll win Wigan will blow themselves out and Hughes will sort things out at half-time

[miserableoldgit]

Everyone is so negative on here! Got to give Hughes a chance, never going to change over night.

I agree but this is basic stuff that we are not doing...particularly in defence...
