Hmmmmm unless I misheard. Maybe some else can confirm? It was in sky right at kick off. Would have been a strange decision if it's what we did do.

Alot of teams similar to ours have gotten out of this league due to a shrewd managerial appointment. We went for a name in football who looks the part but it does seem like he is very limited. Finding a gem of a manager is very tough but unfortunately I do not think JDT is the answer or even close. Not liking what I am seeing at all. Hands in pockets, meak, nonchalant, just watching it all unfold with a look of "what do I do here?".

JDT will leave us in a lower position than he found us. Mark my words.

Dack needs a chance. Needs to play an hour from the start, he'd a footballer and can take the pressure off, link play and has a goal in him. This league is poor, talk of him being finished is premature, out other options can't be considered way ahead if him so are they finished too?

Anyone suggesting people are out of line for questioning JDT or very worried about what they have seen so far needs to have a good think. New or not these tactics, selection and substitutes are very concerning whatever way you look at it.

Small observation, the commentary mentioned we got choice of sides and "chose to turn Wigan around" meaning we chose not to kick towards our own fans in the 2nd half...why does that make any sense? Surely you want the fans behind the goal you are attacking in the 2nd half and driving you on.

Even sky commentary highlighting how we played ourselves into trouble at Cardiff alot and other times this season. I wouldn't credit them as knowing their stuff but it's so fucking obvious that even they are picking up on it.

Shouldn't have been in that position in the first place. Dirt.

Unreal ball from HP..could Ben have opened his body and tucked it away?

If Trav was a new signing he would be slated. He's been awful these days.

Oh yeah remember the big talk of high pressing intense football that we were promised 🤣🤣🤣🤣

If we manage to win this it won't have anything to do with JDT. Tactics are all wrong so even fluking a win won't gloss over it.

Yeah he's been poor even doing the basics. That touch after Ben played it into him was shocking.

Talk about creating our own problems... baffling how we seem experts at doing so.

He got beaten twice with ease and has been out of position a few more times. He's played well last two games but needs to be more alert tonight.

Pickering back to being a ghost..struggling again early doors. Other than that it's a solid enough start.

Hedges should be able to manage him. He's beyond limited these days. If he can't it's an even worse selection than we already think.

Hirst is a big lump. Needs to play aggressive and angry. Appears a bit too nicey nice and soft. He already have a gentle giant striker in Gally. Hirst should have broken the net with that pen against Cardiff.

Backing Sammie to have a good game...he is a decent player.

Very fair.

I feel like alot of our problems when we have played poorly have been when we have played players out of position or form and the other teams gets stuck into us from the start. It all starts to come apart and a panic sets in, there is a massive confidence and fear element when he don't start well and the opposition get in our faces. Tonight isn't the night for that. I'm a fan of Hedges but not where I want to see him at all. Strange our "top targets" in the window have only played bit parts so far and we are well into October.

Got there just before me but yeah could be the case.

Is there a clause in Hirsts contract? Not casting him off this early but don't feel he warrants a start based on recent showings. Maybe JDT just rates him. He's got a point to prove now and wish him the best and hopefully gets on the scoresheet.

Controversial comment...I kinda enjoyed the journey 😬

This is a tough one to call. Will we be left seething again after another lacklustre display after another frustrating night where the players don't show up and the manager continues with a system that doesn't work for the entire game or will we go there and put things right, play some lovely football and kick on? Sick of going to bed on these nights and being pissed off trying to get to sleep.
