A delight to watch at times, has so much energy and clearly just loves playing football for usGoodrham changed the game IMO.
Charlton drawing 1-1 must have been more of an upset
We’ll need more about us in the remaining games but I’ll enjoy the win all the same.We knock it about at the back from side to side and try and bring the opposition out and then we try and play it in or over the full backs to get the wingers into the game, get crosses into the box and have plenty of players on the edge of the box ready if it comes out to them.
Good win, lots better 2nd half but still edgy at the back, I'm not sure I trust this team to see out a lead consistently. Purely a personnel thing rather than tactical.
Wake up and smell the coffee, lad. He's definitely here until next seasonDes keeps his job.
For now.
My ex missus said the same thing..Depth makes a huge difference.
So it’s not a case of not knowing what the style of the team is under Des but more the fact you don’t like the style of the team under Des?We’ll need more about us in the remaining games but I’ll enjoy the win all the same.
There was a move in the second half with a Rodrigues flick that resulted in a snap shot from Harris which was excellent. Would like to see us try more of that as I think we’ve got players capable of more than shovelling it in to the channels.
Going to have to be better to beat Wycombe but the win was sorely needed.I thought we were poor tonight.
Cumming 6.7, made some decent stops and apart from a dodgy kick or two looked fine.
Long 5.0, looks a couple of levels below the required standard. Can’t move his body in to a position to attack the ball or to defend a cross. Poor distribution and mentally shot.
Leigh 6.5, not his old self yet but only a couple of weeks away.
Moore 5.4, very sluggish I thought and didn’t move his feet. Poor attacking the ball and looked like an old donkey.
Brown 6.2, gave the ball away and was off it by his usual standards.
Mcguane 5.8, no real purpose tonight and didn’t make his mark.
Matete 5.9, disappointing if I’m honest but in a few weeks he could start to motor.
Brannigan 6.8, tried to drive us forward in the way only he can. Ticked along but nothing spectacular.
Dale 5.6, didn’t do anything really.
Murphy 6.9, glad he got the goal, he did alright.
Harris 7.0, worked so hard and great body language. I think he’s a really good player.
Goodram 7.0 had a good impact on the game.
Ruben 6.1, gave it away and has of habit of simulating at the wrong times leaving us open to a counter.
Bodin 5.8, didn’t have long enough really but no impact.
If long was a 5 then so was Moore and Dale was a 4.5.I thought we were poor tonight.

They often took small away followings in the PL, it's a rugby town, close to the big clubs of Manchester. Their hardcore support is probably similar or smaller than ours. Ifollow is a tenner, long way to go on a Tuesday and all that.Not sure what to make of that. Yet again we had less possession than our opponents and that’s got to be a concern. We need to keep hold of the ball and dictate the game a lot better. Hopefully that will come.
I was impressed with a few of Wigans players. I thought the tall no. 10 with the ponytail looked a class above. One of the better teams I’ve seen, great passing out to the wide players.
I know it’s a Tuesday and a long way to come but I was surprised at how few supporters they brought - it doesn’t seem that long ago they were in the Premier League.
Having said that, our support was exactly impressive either, especially considering it’s half term so more families could potentially come along. Hopefully as the results start to improve and the weather picks up the atmosphere and positivity will start to pick up.
