Wigan Athletic v Aston Villa Match Thread

[Ian.]

Gabby is a dismal waste of skin out on the wing.

It seems it does not matter who is in charge of any football team there is always a selection you just don't get. Why do they do it!

[ozzjim]

Shite. Can we get Ash down the left, Albrighton the right and Heskey on down the middle second half?

[hawkeye]

please take downing off

[TimTheVillain]

Downing ffs, concenfuckingtrate man.

[Pete3206]

Oh dear Stewart.

[myf]

Poor from what I've seen.  No belief again.

Massive contrast to the Blackpool performance.

[Edvard Remberg]

That last pass from Cuellar forward, Downing should have been in position to win second ball - instead he was jogging back.

[Tom_Mc9?]

Is Albrighton on the bench? If he is, swap him for Downing at half time and Petrov for Gabby.

[TonyD]

Downing off at HT, he gets too much of the ball and does sod all with it.  Imagine if Gabby or MA had the ball at their feet as much as him - they would be much more productive!

[Risso]

To be honest, Makoun looks like he needs a game or two in the reserves to get up to speed.

[Apyadg]

If I'd gone to this game, I'd wish I'd brought a book. Fuck me, this is dismal.

[koreanmeatballs]

Downing. Why?

[usav]

To be honest, Makoun looks like he needs a game or two in the reserves to get up to speed.

I thought he looked good in the first 20 when we were pinging it around nicely, unfortunately, we've reverted to playing shite.

[boboonthecorner]

Bent likes to play as the lone forward so Gabbys days could be numbered?

[Villa'Zawg]

Is it just me or is this a bit pants?

It's not too bad. Just lacking a bit of purpose and looking light in the middle.

It's been pretty shite since i said it was quite good. Makoun is looking a bit lost now.
