Wigan Athletic v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[JUAN PABLO]

Well just got back home.  Dire and appalling would probably suffice but I can think of a whole heap more adjectives that would explain that performance.  As for our clueless Manager, set the team up wrong and didn't know how to change it. 

The only positive, and I mean the only one, was we kept a clean sheet for the first time since god knows when and that was more down to Wigan being even more shite than us.

I must admit in my 20 years following the club thats the first time I've witnessed the fans turn on the Manager.

Finally,must say a big thanks for Dave W getting me a ticket when I turned up at the away end 5 minutes before kick off!!!

See you all at Blackburn then.......

the only reason we got a clean sheet is the Wigan players must have missed kicked 10 chances

Poor today.  Really, really poor. 

I feel sorry for Mcleish, but that, again, was just not good enough.   If he was Spurs manager, he would've gone by christmas.  If he was managing Everton, gone.  Newcastle, maybe gone too. 

why do people feel sorry for him , theres no excuse bringing Heskey with Nzog and Ireland on the bench .

[The Left Side]

I Didn't watch it but had a bad feeling about today, well done to the fans who made the trip and please Randy do the decent thing and listen to the fans as they will be around for the long term.

Well, 'cause he's out of his depth, and there's a tragedy about watching that happen. It's not his fault he's not good enough - I mean it's not like he's trying to be this bad.

Yet he is paid a crazy amount of money that has him wearing a Villa tie, picking Gabby as captain, saying how brilliant we are at every chance. He is a football manager whore- he knows he does not have the ability but he keeps on keeping on as he banks that million plus contract. We should not feel anything for him. He will fail at our club and be richer for it.

for statistical purposes, is there anywhere that I can compare this seasons stats, league info, compared to last?

I am deeply concerned with what appears to be happening at our club

Greetings comrades,
Not happy at all. The sad thing is we've got at least another 12 months of McLeish to endure.

WE'RE NOT EVEN HALFWAY DONE.

There is not a shot in hell McLeish gets sacked. He will see out his entire contract.

So, I've slept on it.

I still want him out. I want him out yesterday.

Maybe when we get a max of 2 points from the next three games, he'll be booted.

Play like yesterday we'll be lucky to get any

Not great was it. On the plus side we got our first clean sheet since boxing day with fat arse out the way. Hopefully that will give the defence a bit of confidence and we can build on it

Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best...

And......

Blackburn have been decent at home lately and Fulham are better managed than we are. We all though we needed 6 from the 4 games, I think we will struggle to get 5 from the next 3 now.
