No I couldn't go, I watched the stream, and the replays. The first goal he was also responsible by having very poor positioning. Not for the first time for us either. The second is absolutely inexcusable. But the third I'll say again, I'm certain was meant as a cross. In which case his positioning would have been fine. He tried to read the intent, and the intended thing didn't happen. A better keeper may save it, but may also fail to, especially if anticipating the cross. I've already said I don't want to see him play for us again. He doesn't have it, mentally. He made a mistake and collapsed after. That mentality won't cut it, we need a reliable deputy ASAP.

Hate to say it but I called it even before the game 🤣 sorry. Really hope I'm wrong.

If Kaminski had played today, we win that, it's that simple. Pears redeemed himself a bit with those clean sheets, although like I said before he didn't have to do tons to earn them. But after that, no, I don't ever want to see him play for us again.

Pears not as much to blame on that one. But after the game he's had, half inclined to blame him anyway. Commentator seems clueless to the fact that was clearly a cross that fluked in.

Ayala looking offside in the replay.

Btw who was it the other game who commented that Khadra needed to be back on free kick duty? You were spot on.

Well thank fuck for that but we had better go on to win now or we're only doing ourselves more harm. Plus it'll cost me 90 quid. Has to be resolved before penalty shootout or we know who is going to cost us....

Haven't turned up at all simply isn't true. We were definitely the better side until Pears went suicide bomber and blew the whole team's confidence to shit. We weren't at our best but we clearly deserved to win before that.

A new reserve keeper just became a necessary January signing.

Came to catch a cross and basically carried it straight into his net. I'm struggling to remember when I was last this angry with a goalkeeper, and I'm not even too invested in the FA cup this year.

Max Power, Aasgaard, do Wigan intentionally recruit players with ridiculous names?

He's worse than Jake Kean was.

And Wigan's fans can eat dick pies too. 'Premier League, you're having a laugh' what, because our sub goalie is shite?

Please tell me we can make 5 subs and take this cunt off. We should tear up his contract on the grounds of gross incompetence.

Wow, called it, before my stream caught up. Suicide by goalkeeper.

Jesus, Pears is a liability now his head has gone. A goalkeeper needs to command his area. Pears couldn't command a butler.

He wasn't tested much in that period, the defence were imperious.

I dunno, it was soft but I've seen them given, especially by refs as poor as this one. There was contact. I think the main reason he didn't give it may just have been that he would probably have had to send him off as last man, and it was too soft for that to be justice. Butterworth on for Buckley.

Pears is nervous now, it was written all over his face on that closeup. Need to keep him protected as he has another fuckup in him.

All Pears there, yep. I'd actually forgot he was playing so I was blaming Kaminski at first lol...but of course it's Pears back to his past tricks. Very poor positioning and not a good attempt to stop it. I hate when Max Power scores against us, he has a comedy name.

Edun is a lucky boy there tbh, but fuck Wigan they've had more than enough from this ref today. Excellent effort by Ben there, would have been a superb goal.

Well, if Khadra is the only one who brought his shooting boots today, I guess it doesn't matter that Butty hasn't had a run out yet! Get in lad! Another great strike from him.

Hopefully Lenihan is ok or it will have been a very bad move to start him. Don't see why Carter isn't the replacement. Baffling subs from the manager, hope that's just him using the cup to dabble again, don't want that shit to creep back into his league management.

I was thinking about this, if he had just treated it like a pass I'm sure it would have reached where it needed to go.

You mean in terms of fitness?
