That result made up for the dismal game in the Curbishley years when we lost 3-0 up there. 2003?0

2005 I think in December (05/06). My only trip to that ground.Yorkshireaddick said:That result made up for the dismal game in the Curbishley years when we lost 3-0 up there. 2003?

Maybe,but the advantage of a proper system is that if you have a decent squad than players can slot into gaps,as we saw when Jackson and Wiggins got injured last week.MuttleyCAFC said:Both Igor and Watt are both very direct players and do play well with each other. I think Igor has suffered a bit in recent times as defences have realised that if they keep him quiet, they keep us quiet. Having Watt running at them means they can't focus on keeping Igor quiet in the same way and the freedom this brings him as helped him find his form and look the player we know he is. A real bonus has been Bulot's form and with the quality we all know JBG has, from seemingly nowhere we seem to have a potent attack. Football is a strange game as a couple of week ago I think we had one of the weakest attacks and now it feels like one of the strongest. It has quickly changed to a positive, but could also change negative with a injury or two though.
With this current structured setup I could imagine even Church working next to Igor up front,or Harriott replacing either of the wingers. The main weakness now is central midfield,as we have no natural replacement for Jackson/Buyens exceptComedyLepoint.4 -
I cant imagine Harriot or Church replacing Vetokele or Watt will take us anywhere but square one.1

Pretty sure that was under Dowie or Reed.Yorkshireaddick said:That result made up for the dismal game in the Curbishley years when we lost 3-0 up there. 2003?

no, I think we did lose 3-0 there under Curbs0
-
Was it his last season? I think Wigan got promoted in 2005 to the premier. Am sure we lost 3.2 the season after that.0

We lost 3-0 in 2005/06 under Curbs.1
-
Yes and 3.2 the year after0

The 0-3 under Curbs was an abysmal performance, and if I remember correctly resulted in a huge bust-up with Deano. Curbs being Curbs there was no way back (a la Leaburn and Euell) and Deano left soon after. The beginning of the end ....

A bit late, so just a few thoughts:
Real grit when it was needed, early on and mid-second half. Even Buyens who made several errors appeared to want it, and Fox stuck at it impressively after his winger gave him a few early scares. How ever we all felt about Luzon's arrival, he absolutely has them committed at the moment. With sleet tipping down this was an easy chance to hide on a Friday night in Wigan, but nobody did.
Whilst confidence is high, we now carry a genuine attacking threat with at least four players whose first instinct is to attack at every opportunity, not just hand the responsibility to someone else. It may lead to a couple of haevier defeats (Tuesday?) but this particular 4-4-2 looks well worth persevering with. The players actually appear to be enjoying themselves.
We shouldn't write off Bikey who had an excellent first half of the season but Johnson was perfect when we were under the cosh early on, and is clearly a winner. With Henderson back, Cousins now inside, and two dangerous forwards, we now have a much more solid spine.
3-0 away wins don't come along too often. This just felt bloody marvellous.9 -
Agree on Bikey. He needed this break but could come back strong0

Poor old Chrissy Goals ...... he comes on as sub 10 minutes from the end, good cameo helping tighten up our passing - and scores a well taken goal.Dazzler21 said:THE MIRROR PLAYER RATINGS:

Did anyone mention that the Wigan win was our first double of the season?

Good call, let's hope the second one is tonight.
