Reminder that Alfie missed a penalty against Gillingham in pre season last year and people started having doubts about him then.10

Playing with wing backs and never getting them in possession of the ball in final third to create anything.
a back line that still has Gillesphey in and a midfield that got given the run around by division 2 team5 -

Anonymous Coventry.
Berry surprised at how small he is. He gets pushed off the easily and wins it back rarely.1 -
It’s only a friendly, I know, but I was expecting much better than that. Pretty depressing.3
-
That was worrying. Need to show somme improvement next week.0

The midfield three were constantly out-muscled and provided only one pass for a wingback to cross. Their (mf3) only shot I remember was a weak one by Coventry, my six year old niece would have hit it harder.
Were you there, watch it on a stream, or just take a contrary view to other observers comments?8 -
I think when the blind optimists have Ronnie on their side they may need to take a look at themselves.6

All people are saying is put things in context. The season isn’t doomed based off of one afternoon on the pitch6 -
Are we gonna drag Alfie May into every match thread this season if things don't go quite to plan, or even if they do maybe...🤷♂️6

It’s a kamikaze move. If he doesn’t fit - keep him, don’t let him go to a rival where he might fit. Simples.22

Mitchell, Jones and Gillespie feels like the obvious back three but if that’s the case I’m surprised they haven’t been tried with Ramsay in front of them at all. I’m fine with Tennai as our back up RWB but if Jones is just using Ramsay in the centre then I’d be worried about Tennai or Asiimwe being first choice there
Actually why am I asking you this question!!
What a load of nonsense. The season is 46 games long. Its not a cup tie where the opposition may be sussing you out. A month into pre-season I'd hope thezmamager knows his first 11-15 & the players know the style of play that is expected.5 -

I can only assume that NJ has learnt from today, and will take forward to Portsmouth, prior to the important stuff against Wigan...

I would hope that if we play sides that match up 3-5-2, then NJ will realise that one of the three CMs will have to play quarterback, get the ball off CBs and put the wingbacks in. Otherwise prepare for a season of hoofball. Plenty on display today.0

Just written our home games up to end December on the kitchen calender, the first eight are pretty tricky.0 -
Didn’t watch but am going next week but I can’t believe people read so much into pre season friendlies. It’s pre season and they are friendlies, start worrying when the season actually gets under way.8
-
The amount of panicking minges on here is hilarious.
Anyone that’s ever kicked a football of a decent standard knows friendlies mean fuck all.13 -

Hence why he's mixing things up, playing a mixture of those you can expect to see on a regular basis, with those who'll play bit part role - Although I do agree, that you're probably right he probably does know his starting eleven...
But my post was saying, why does he need to show that to the rest of the League so early...? - You're right its a 46-game season, but we want to keep Wigan guessing for as long as possible don't we
Not to mention he can also use these friendlies to trial other possibilities; Ramsay for example has been trialled at RCB as GarryManilow was alluding to... But I still expect him to start the season as a Wing-Back.1 -

THEN YES.3 -
If Nathan deliberately mixed the team up, then from today's 22 what is his first choice starting eleven? I'll have a crack at
Mannion
Ramsey,REG,Mitchell (A) ,Gillesphie,Small :
Docherty, Coventry, Berry
Kanu, Godden1 -
Thought we looked a little short of "piss the league".2
