Well, at least two people care enough about Wigan to respond to the article. Thanks for your comments, but I can pretty much guarantee that very few other fans will respond. Not sure where Wigan fans hide, but they don't seem very visible on the Internet.
Jason Koumas's performances, I agree, have been too inconsistent. The same thing happens when he plays for Wales, but there's no doubt he's a skilled footballer. Heskey? If he can do better than what he's done so far this season, which we know he can, then it's going to be an even better year for the Latics.
Cheers,
The Gaffer
and start playing positive football. Wigan have become the new Bolton, negative, thuggish, and dirty.
but yeah lets praise him for keeping them up, for that prick owner. cause Wigan is an egg chasing town, and the football supporters in Wigan support either City or United. The fans that do show up, flood out with ten minutes left...
maybe that is why no one takes notice....
and for Bruce, he is more likely to have a heart then win anything. and he plays like they just want to stay up and that's it. if that makes you happy - well.
A lot of teams play attacking football and aren't in the top four or even the top end of the table. Yet there is this bizzare notion that you have to play Sam Alderyce type football to remain up, and its frankly just not true. and defeatism at its best. It kept Fullham up last year, West Ham the year before that, and Pompey the year before that.
It inspires the supporters, it fills the stands. and something Wigan might want to consider.
right?
Calling it Sam Allardyce football is just drinking the mainstream media's kool-aid. When Man United or Chelsea do the same thing, it's called changing their tactics or playing long passes. No one ever calls them on it when they play the long ball style. When Allardyce was at Bolton they played a 4-3-3 using players like Diouf and Giannkapolous as wide men playing off Anelka or Davies as the centre forward. Did they play great one-touch football? No. Perhaps once in a while. Were they totally devoid of any passing ability and simply kick it around like schoolchildren? No. Did they try and make the most of set pieces and throw-ins? Certainly....as all teams should. But I suppose it's easier to regurgitate cliches then really think and observe what's going on.
