v Wigan Athletic (h) - 6/2/23

[JohnD]

Telegraphed that one, Chile manager there too.

[superniko]

That was awful from Brereton, not sure how he is holding his place lately, especially considering he doesn’t want to hang around here.

Really fear for us tonight.

Wigan get an early goal and could become very toxic.

I think you are confusing this match with the one that sent us down from the prem. It happens.

[OsloRover]

New boy Thomas making the rookie mistake of playing it forward thinking we have someone up front who can hold the ball up

[SoldierMo]

Hes becoming a bloody liability

[J*B]

Could have replaced him with 8mill. 

[jim mk2]

Top class strikers don't miss those. He knew where the ball was and should have had his eyes on the keeper to watch his movement. Poor

[Bbrovers2288]

We aren’t looking great 

[Gav]

New lad looking at home, some nice touches and link up play. 

[J*B]

11:15 as I’m typing this and I don’t think Vale’s touched it yet. More to follow. 

[CrouchingNunhiddenCucumber]

Huddersfield letting Thomas go making sense so far 

[Bbrovers2288]

Well done jrc 

[ItsRoverZ]

We lack fight in key areas of the pitch, lightweight in the middle and our striker can't make the ball stick up top with him

Wigan are playing very well, we look poor

Maybe, depends if we could've figured out the transfer forms 😆

[booth]

Should be 1-0 up.

How many times are our forwards going to let us down?

It’s the BRFCS way

[RTM08]

Unsurprisingly only swapping a nonexistent striker for a winger in January has not improved our play one bit. Good job everyone!

[Bethnal]

You can see Wigan are more energised but they still look a poor side. We look alarmingly poor, really. Brereton puts that away and we’d be building into it but it looks very disjointed still. 

I hate to give a young lad grief but Vale is miler away from convincing me he’s cut out for this level. Postionally poor, visibly lazy and just no strength/power about him. Not smart enough to be a small, poacher-type either. Must be pulling up forests in training as he’s not shown me much on the pitch ever.

This’ll be a draw, but both teams look vulnerable to conceding.

[West Yorks Rover]

Bottom team well on top here, but we could be 2 up if only.

[superniko]

We’re looking worse and worse as the weeks progress. 

[Exiled_Rover]

Why isn't that a yellow for McClean?

He pulled out of it and Thomas made a meal of it.

Did you miss the replay? Pathetic from Thomas holding his face

Compare him to Simon Garner when he first came to Ewood from non league at a similar age.

Chalk and cheese in every way.

I’d love to, but I’m 34.
