phoenix blue and tangerine Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Shez needs to look at his tactics, 1 up front at 0-2 down and everyone back for a wigan corner including the smallest man on the pitch. why not leave him up front for a breakaway.

Midsblue Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Just now, longtimeblue said: It'll be as much to do with him realising his last interview was probably a bit too honest. He was always going to go the other way. I'm pretty sure he knows we're shit. I know you can't contain him but do you think that interview follows a quiet word from the board after the last interview? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage limitation 2-0 he will get away with, a real heavy defeat could ruin us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafc1955 Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Shez said he played Hunt in midfield although he's not a midfielder, he played Wilson at left back which is not his favoured position.....so why??? I honestly don't think Sheridan is cut out for this management lark, I really don't, his post match interviews have been piss poor. He went over the top with his remarks last week and it's obvious he's redressed the balance today. He's kept us up twice when relegation certs but he won't do it again sending teams out like that today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzlatic Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Having seen promise from Gardner and Kyeremah today I think with the addition of a proper central midfielder (the Welsh/Douglas type) we could play 4-4-2 and maybe even be a threat. And I'm not normally that bothered about that formation. I just don't think we'll get that midfielder (or a 2nd keeper) until just before the window shuts when someone is desperate enough to accept our peanuts.

Dayvan Cowboy Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 I didn't bother today, because no way am I paying £24 to watch a result I could've predicted days ago, or to watch any team in which Ollie fucking Banks is STILL getting a starting role. I'm going to Blackpool next week for some reason. I hope at least half of these '5 or 6 players' Shez was on about make an appearance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking Shez, which again leads me to question his judgement of a footballer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Sinnott Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Pretty shoddy that. Wigan called time on the game after 20 minutes and played the rest of it at testimonial pace. Holloway has some attributes, but his goal return is nothing short of a disgrace. I genuinely think if I had a run of 26 (think that's the total) games playing up front for Latics, I would score in more than one game. Clarke looked a shadow of himself today - he's probably missing his mate behind him, but I don't think Wilson disgraced himself at all and made 2 or 3 decent saves. Gardner was a positive, perhaps the only one. He looked bright and eager to impress... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From listening to wigans commentary and snippets of radio manc fane was what we missed. Wigan comms said banks was the reason our midfield was working as we needed a grafter. If we ever miss Ousmane Fane, then were in massive trouble. Amazed he hasn't signed for someone like Barnet yet. That said, I'm not quite sure of the logic of Sheridan, playing a right back (who he has been playing as left back up until today) in centre mid this afternoon...

We would not have scored if we were still playing now and even if we had , they would have scored another 2 in the subsequent 20 minutes. They won at a canter without breaking sweat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted prior to the match that whatever team Sheridan picked I would give total support to... i just about managed to do so, even after a first half in which we did not have a shot. However it was another poor showing by Latics. Wigan are a decent side and will surely win this league but too many questions remain - Frankly baffled by Hunt in the middle of the park and the tactic of one up front at home. Not convinced by the keeper. Will not be able to get to a game now until Pompey away. Who knows where we will be by then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tGWB Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Most of you haven't worked it out yet but some of you are getting closer John Sheridan has worked wonders for our Club, saving us from relegation twice in recent years Problem as I see it though, is that the very same John Sheridan who can galvanise a group of players behind a cause, appears to only be able to do so for a short period of time As soon as he gets past the completion of the initial objective (usually survival) he seems to lose faith in the players or more concerning, the players start to lose trust in him His recent public outbursts, "some players are only giving 60/70%" and "we need 5 or 6 new players" and him bizarrely playing average players out of position, for me, just further demonstrate his poor team building / management skills A wonderful footballer in his day, but why, with the 'Championship Manager Merry Go Round' has he not be snapped up, or even by a League One prospective promotion team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
