Wigan Athletic v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

When did we last have a player with as large a bonce as Makoun?

[KevinGage]

OK, so who was Olof's Beard originally (or most recently on the new forum)?

 New usernames should only be approved if they have the old one displayed somewhere on the profile. Or if the changee passes some sort of initiation ceremony.   Only fair.

6 days to get a left back methinks.

Great to see Coker  last a whole game and was very impressed the way Downing always made himself available got a few out of the mire tonight.

Nice to see quality on as subs too, mostly and although we rode our luck we were by far the better side, especially first half.

Well done Houllier, nice tactics and change of tactics too, but late on he needs to sort out defending too deep

[TopDeck113]

Just got back. 

Good win.  For a ten minute spell in the second half I could see us getting three or four.  Their goal meant a nervy last ten, where I think we allowed them to push us too far back.

Downing was lacklustre and was the biggest disappointment.  Ash, on the other hand, looked much more the player we know he can be.

The three points were important tonight.  Avoid a tonking in 7 days time and beat Fulham, and all of a sudden the table will look a lot better than a month ago.

I don't know what bonce is, but the kid can't half jump!

[Mazrim]

Considering that:

- We had a teenager debuting at left back.
- A midfielder who's been here a few days having his first game in this league.
- Downing having one of those days when things werent coming off (and no worse than that).
- Made several changes from the last game.
- They had an amazingly flukey goal that gave them some hope they didnt have immediately beforehand...

Not bad at all.
This hanging on business is a hang over from the previous regime. We do need to learn to keep hold of the ball and use it more intelligently. But I'm happy.

Bent could have had a couple and is a very tidy and clever forward. Good times ahead for him and us. Young was very good. Baker, I have to hand it to him, I knew he was a decent player but I never thought I'd see him play for our first XI. Well done indeed, lad.

A bit of momentum now and plenty of good players didn't play tonight.
Encouraging.

Just seen the most disgusting attack on espn by holloway on houllier in his aftermatch interview tonight- disgraceful and disgusting., what a pathetic snide nasty little twat holloway is - shame on you for your disguting outburst tonight and let's see the fa throw the book at you- cowardly little man!

Hmm, watched his post match on bbc, nothing too out of the ordinary.

Methinks? Is that not a banning offence?

Verily, forsooth. Whatever that means.

[Irish villain]

I didn't get to see the game. Delighted with the three points. By the sounds of things, Baker had a good game?

The trouble is he records an aftermatch interview for ESPN, one for BBC and one for the papers. It depends on the questions to him for his reactions. I won't comment on his latest apparent uttering until I see/hear them for myself as I have seen people go over the top before and then find they were not as bad as first mentioned.

yes he did, in fact i would say looked more comfortable than Clark at Left Back, he is quick

[luke25]

Just got back, for 20 minutes after we scored I thought we were going to anihilate them, we were so comfortable and then that flukey goal came and was shitting it for the last 10 minutes but nether the less a good win, Credit to Baker, very mature display, actually the back four were all excellent again, Reo-Coker my MOTM though, thought he was fantastic

That's great news, thanks. It's like a conveyer belt of talent emerging this season!

Yes, he didn't look ruffled at all. But we do lose the attacking threat with either at the moment. With both Clark and Walker now injured with back issues I hope we are not looking at another little injury crisis.
