That felt like two points lost. I thought Wigan were poor and the number of chances we created we should have won that comfortably. Not a great performance - seemed a bit flat in the first half - but decent entertainment and another game unbeaten. Lualua was very poor for his cameo. He has lost all his pace and seemed lacking in ideas. Had no positive impact at all IMO.0

Game was full of reminders for me...
A) Wigan's defending brought back a quote from Bowyer about how other teams never seemed to gift us goals they way we gifted then to others.... this trait had persisted in the seasons since. Wigan were a rare example of a team being as ridiculously bad and error prone at the back as we have been.
B ) For the 4th season in a row we continue a tendency to batter teams for long periods and contrive to draw (or even lose).
Entertaining game, but am glad there was nothing riding on it.
Looking forward to a trip to Cambridge

Jones said that May’s goal from the quick free kick was onside? Can’t see any replays of it and from where I was sat it looked to be off. Anyone seen it again?0

Stig said:Entertaining game with a disappointing result. Thought Wigan looked awful for much of it and were there for the taking. The comedic kicking of Mr Tickle and lack of communication between their defence giving them a distinctly Appletonesque feel. To our credit we created lots of opportunities and as well as the goals there were several ifs and buts moments. Ifs and buts don't win matches though, so we need to become a bit more clinical in front of goal. That, and cut out the moments of madness.1

The game had no peril attached to it but wasn't a hard watch. I thought we played well and should have won by a couple of goals margin. Defensively we looked good apart from a five minute spell in the second half. In some ways, i'm sure these games are useful for Jones. We were wasteful in front of goal and should have been out of sight before they scored. We do need more goals through the team as we are too reliant on a small number of players chipping in. That explains the high number of draws. I think it is good for a manager when the issues start to become obvious and therefore easier to solve.
Defensively, we are definitely better than before Jones but both the Wigan goals were poor from that perspective. Poor rather than disasterous, but if you are not taking your chances, poor is an even bigger issue. We have now gone a quarter of a season without losing which considering the point we came from before that is pretty amazing. I think we can say, for a change, that January was a very good window. If the summer window is good as well, we ought to be challenging for promotion next season.
Campbell has looked a different player in the last couple of games when he has come on and I think he should be given a contract as he is young and showing he has potential.3 -

The way we press is what has improved the most: got possession a few times by quickly harassing the player with the ball and marking any possible outlets.

Is Dobson definitely gone? I know he's signed a contract and all, but is there any chance / way of him staying...?0

Say we have to pay the Hungarians £200k or £300k. It is annoying as it is our fault, but how much would it cost to bring in a player of his quality? Of course yesterday showed the positives and negatives regarding Dobbo. The positives, he is a top player at this level and the negatives, he doesn't score enough goals. Jones will need to solve that and maybe he will want to bring goals in. But if I was him, I would want Dobbo next season.5 -

I thought his distribution was good yesterday. His kicking is not always great but it was fine yesterday. He doesn't command his box as much as I would like. He isn't terrible but I think we need better next season.0

His flap at the corner was worrying and he pushed the ball back into a dangerous area for their first goal.1 -

I thought what he did well was realise he can no longer run past people, and pass to someone else instead. Sure, his legs have gone and he won't get a new contract but I don't actually think he got any decisions wrong while he was on0

I thought Lua Lua showed a bit of quality. He clearly doesn't want to beat a player but his passing was good. Not sure he is for next season though.0

That miss by Aneke … criminal. He was virtually standing on the line2

We need a top class keeper for next year. Perhaps AMB out on loan to another league 1 team for a full season to get his confidence up. But we need an experienced, assured, top quality keeper. Personally, I want Phillips back, as remember being a big fan when he was here.3

Let's hope he can stay fit until the end of the season. That would be a decent milestone for him.6
