It does appear that we handed them the initiative with the team selection alone. There's no need to show the opposition such respect in this league.

I am sorry - but how can one player make such a difference ?

If had played a defensive midfield player - then yes it would have been a negative signal - but playing a slightly more defensively aware winger is hardly going in with a negative mind set - it is giving the opposition some respect.

 

[Tony Rover]

Going to need a bloody good half time team talk now, 2nil down to Plymouth! 

[RevidgeBlue]

Tinkerman Tony strikes again.

[K-Hod]

2-0. Well, it was nice while it lasted...

[G Somerset Rover]

FFS. Wigan relentless and just don’t concede while we roll over for a belly tickling at Plymouth. Lenihan needs to come in if Mulgrew is out next week. These two just ain’t good enough together.

[skous18]

We need to get one back before the ht

[davulsukur]

Feck!

[Husky]

Hopefully they'll ease off and we can keep this respectable.

[Mike E]

Need to go for it now, as we should be in every game!

[West Yorks Rover]

We'll just have to hope Bristol R do us a favour and beat Shrews.

[JacknOry]

Graham Carey (their best player apparently) the guy who Conway was supposed to be adding protection for - just assisted their second goal.

Oh come on - he changed how many players for this match ?

If you want to have a go at him - I would question the decision not to bring in a centre half - not for making one team change.

[SoldierMo]

This ones on TM soft selection end of and on chaddy too

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Mowbray has ballsed this one.  We have no CB on bench, a left back at centre back.....  yet have loaned 2 out.  Wrong tactics.

Exactly my point - we shouldn't be giving them any respect!! An earlier post alludes to us playing superbly on Wednesday with 4 attacking players, why change it?

[philipl]

Now we are in bother. Could easily turn into a tonking as we go chasing goals at the other end.

[Bbrovers2288]

My fear of defensive options is coming to light. Don’t think downing is as good as made out to be. I’d honestly get Matt mills in until the end of the season 

[tomphil]

Well between them they've turned this into an Oldham non event today christ knows what tactics have been laid down today but it's a balls up.

So annoying because it's so needless when you know what they can do with ghe correct approach but he seems intent on reeling them in after every high pressing performance. When you've found a winning formula just leave it alone for gods sake.

Yeah put the blame on Conway for that..

[DE.]

7 games without a clean sheet. Inexcusable, somebody needs to ask Mowbray why we can't stop conceding. Especially considering how good Wigan are at keeping a clean sheet. We're an embarrassment in comparison. I'm aware we aren't that far off the other teams in this league in terms of goals against, but they don't have the budget we have. This isn't acceptable.
