have powells substitutions cost us today?

Midfielder for a forward and defender for a midfielder. Surely this invited Wigan to attack?

    Yes, because we didn't win.. If we had won they would have been a touch of brilliance. So today I am against Powell, if we win next week, I will love him more than anyone.

    So flipping negative, we aren't good enough to hold out for 85 minutes, so to go 451 and then 541 and end up losing 2-1 is stupid
  • Oh sorry did we have an abundance of world class forwards on the bench today?
  • Yes
  • Oh sorry did we have an abundance of world class forwards on the bench today?

    We had two on the pitch
  • (1) NONE of us will know if we werent there

    (2) We had to Defend as we were playing a team who had just been in the Premier League (AND FA Cup holders)... had we continued to attack then Wigan would have picked us off thanks the the spaces we'd have created out of tiredness

    Yes we did, haven't you read the threads concerning these players? One of them plays international for Iran!

    Throwing on defenders for the sake of it disrupts marking and makes us so unstable at the back.

    It hasn't worked several times now but Powell never learns his lesson.

    There's defending and then there's sitting back and not attempting to press higher.

    Deja vu. I sometimes wonder if people who post on here have ever been to a football match.
  • Yes, stop brining on Dervite for the last 5 minutes.
  • Sorry, but every time he brings on Dervite to shore up the defence, the other team get invited to attack us further, we go deeper and get caught out - I'm pissed off - TAXI FOR POWELL - that's it for me.
  • Not worried about subs, more worried that we make little effort to keep 2 of our best players!
    Did anyone seriously expect us to get a result with so much defending!
    What happened to Polish Peter? Not even on bench.
    Honestly think these transfers will come back to haunt us!
  • Church should have came on to relieve a bit of pressure, and reza playing 90mins when he hasnt played in 2 months? Facking hell
  • Always the same defend deeper and deeper and invite the opposition to attack more - should be trying to retain possession and keep it in their half - so angry draw would have just about been OK but to lose after leading with 2 mins to go is unacceptable.

    BigAndyCAFC can you provide the evidence for that please?
  • It was all Wigan for the last 45. Good effort. 19 to go, 57 points still to play for.

    It's déjà vu alright. Blowing leads with minutes to go is our speciality.

    Its bye bye Powell people, Roly will sack him this evening I think he is going to want to to protect his outlay by bringing in his own man imo of course.
  • Christ I heard nothing negative for 87 minutes and then 2 goals in a couple of minutes and suddenly everything is Powells fault again. Wouldn't have been any complaints if we had sneaked a win or got a point. Just so so unlucky.

    Just checked & that is completely untrue - first time it has happened this season

    Thought the Pritchard sub was a decent one.

    Don't agree with the Dervite one, thought it disrupted things at the back needlessly with so little time to go.

    I almost got a stiff, i didnt, my mrs is still pissed off regardless that i was unlucky
