v Wigan (a) match day thread

[Finch]

Better than playing well and losing.

[Marriot Ram99]

Finally a clean sheet,  our unbeaten run in December continues. we will need to play better against Forest but I am sure we should step up a level for such a big game.

[hintonsboots]

Clean sheets...the key to both promotion and a successful love life...........

COYR.

[Gritstone Ram]

An absolutely shocking second half compared to a brilliant first half.

We’ve been very poor for a while now imo, we were awful against Wednesday too. And its all from our own lax play. After being so delighted with the regime a few weeks back I find myself furious at the way we’ve gone about our business recently. I’ll be labelled a wrist slasher but it isn’t good enough, it’s sloppy and if I was Lampard I’d be throwing teacups around at certain players.

Huddlestone and Lawrence seem the main culprits recently , Lawrence better not start vs Forest and Huddlestone needs a kick up the ass as he seems to get complacent at times.

Get in massive win

We are 3rd in touching distance of top

[Inverurie Ram]

Smell it, feel it, enjoy it.....................

[Carl Sagan]

Away win, clean sheet and the gumps lose. 

It's a long season and we won't always fire and some games will be a scrap. But we are in third, at least for a couple of hours and I'm celebrating and I hope all the fans who made the journey are joining me.

I think it's the first time this season... I couldn't not report it!

A win is a win. Job done.

[jimbo jones]

Take the points and move on. You’re not going to play great 46 games in a season.  Every team goes through lulls in this division, we are in one at the moment, and are still picking up points and gone up to 3rd.

Must agree we should have been 3 up at half time. In the second we were absolutely shocking, I know it,s 3 point away from home but if we carry on like this the only way is down.

I dunno about that, it’s units within the team rather than individuals imo. Lawrence was excellent against Swansea, but poor today, shows his inconsistency and why perhaps we need more competition there. I’m a Huddlestone fanboy so I ain’t gonna say too much on that account, he has been a culprit but it’s been others as well.

We could BE top three, if others give us a helping hand!  :-) 

Does that help, in the predictions league?  

[Alph]

Who won?

Not the match. I know Derby won that by doing everything in the first 30 minutes with effort, concentration and awareness.

I mean the contest of who can be the most stupid and lazy player to help Wigan equalise.

I know it's not good to moan after a win but would the team rather take lessons from a win or a loss? 

Because that second half was a showcase of poo against 10 man Wigan. Impressive levels of plodding about playing kick chase.

Wake up or go home.

What a perfect set up for next week.

Plus win and it’s clear daylight again.

[Derby blood]

A good 3 points, and a clean sheet at last, but we make hard work of it at times, but at least we do create chances, just need to start converting more, starting a week on Monday against the Red Dogs, can not wail antill that game now.

[valleyram]

I think that booking will mean bryso  will be suspended for forest game now
