Well that was a disappointing second half. Can't begrudge them the win they had much the better of it after what was a decent first half showing from Latics.
What I liked:
Hunt and McLaughlin partnership looks promising
Clarke is still Clarke
Banks was decent today.
Fawns got better as the game went on but reasonabl to sub him later.
Fane still looks promising
Wilson in goal made one superb save and looked ok although flapped a bit at a few crosses, couldn't see if he had much chance with goals as at other end.
Odabeyi looks lively.
Dummigan improving.
What I didn't like:
Gerrard and Clarke will get destroyed by pace a few times this season (Gerrard made a superb defensive header and competes well in the air but very ponderous on his feet), must say I would prefer a James Wilson paired with Clarke (or with Gerrard).
Our attack is woeful, the body language of both Davies and Holloway is infuriating, both are permanently on the back foot and do not offer a goal threat. We blame the midfield but I'd be very disappointed if I was Banks looking for runners. They are not a good pairing, one or the other for me.
Questionable why Wilson Br came on when we needed a more attacking mindset, I like Wilson but that seemed odd.
Too early to say with Duffus but I expected explosive pace and I'm not yet sure it's there - probably too harsh on the lad really.
im not panicking but I had hoped for a bit more this season, might well come good, I'm sure Shez expected more but probably has his concerns.
Last t point, good to see Gardner fully involved in the warm up even though he can't yet play, good attitude and he may well make the difference.
