Wigan Athletic v Blackpool Official Matchnight Thread 26.01.21

[CAGU]

Ref isn’t whistle happy so that’s good

 

[TangerinePeel]

Madine winning all the flick ons tonight

 

[SeasideKurt]

Kyle Joseph looks like their only decent player.

Marv barely touched him.

 

[SeasideKurt]

Virtue is not a right winger.

Williams and Thorniley are playing very well.

 

[TangerinePeel]

Would have been great if that came off

 

[TangerineTed]

Good ball by MJW!

 

[BlackpoolsFinest]

Williams is doing well, nice ball through to Gabriel there, and virtually nothing is getting past him.

Pretty much the same as how he was playing before he got injured.

 

[Mark_GT]

Great move there with a good ball from Williams - poor end product.

 

[TangerinePeel]

Oof, damning statistic then from the commentator.

Worst conversion rate with 8% in League One

 

[Macseasider]

Robson has to hit the target there. Come on.

 

[HetzkeBlaster]

Great move, shame about the finish

 

[JJpool]

Commentators stat about us being the worst in the league for converting chances isn't surprising at all.

Only 8% of shots was it.

 

[Eastpaddockkid]

Oof, damming statistic then from the commentator.

Worst conversion rate with 8%

250 odd chances.. if only our end product was better who knows where we would be in the league

 

[Halifax71]

Interesting that that - I knew it was low but 8%

 

[CAGU]

Oof, damning statistic then from the commentator.

Worst conversion rate with 8% in League One

As demonstrated by Robson!

 

[SeasideKurt]

These commentators are extremely excitable. Kinda cringe really.

 

[ElBurroSinNombre]

Soft free kick there

 

[ElBurroSinNombre]

These commentators are extremely excitable. Kinda cringe really.

It's going to make it better when we score. Madine could have a party here.

 

[SeasideKurt]

Yeah, get the ball in the box here. I think they're weak in the air at the back.

 

[Mark_GT]

Wigan are pretty dire. We just need to FINISH OUR CHANCES!

 

[Greggy Lane Lasher]

Why the hell is Husband taking free kicks?

 

[Wizaard]

Two shocking balls in there from Husband

 

[TangerineTed]

Husband is having a mare

 

[South Stand '58]

Husband running in treacld

 

[SeasideKurt]

Joseph looks substantially better than anyone else on the pitch for Wigan

 

[ElBurroSinNombre]

Garbutt should be playing, we have no one who can deliver a set piece

 

[Eastpaddockkid]

We need to work on set piece crossing, either can’t beat the first man or far too long!!

 

[BFCAleman]

Final ball quality poor... again

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

Should have been 1-0 free header.

 

[SeasideKurt]

Garbutt should be playing, we have no one who can deliver a set piece

Robson and Gabriel can, no idea why Husband is taking it.

 

[20togo]

Husband shocking with crossing.

 

[Macseasider]

Husband is having a mare.

 

[SeasideKurt]

Virtue equal measure needs to pass the ball 5 yards properly.

 

[Wizaard]

The ball is played forward to an offside player, Ekpiteta slides to cut it out and Wigan get the ball. Flag was up but play on. Madness. Where's the advantage?

 

[we_need_a_bob_hatton]

I would settle for a scrappy 1-0 win considering our line up tonight

 

[CAGU]

Hardly bossing the game! great commentators

 

[BFCAleman]

Virtue looks half asleep at times

 

[TangerinePeel]

Liking Lubala tonight, at least he's having a pop from outside the box.

If virtue put a decent ball in there it would have created a chance as well

 

[LeedsSeasider]

Poor ball from Virtue. Gabriel would have been in there.

 

[20togo]

Lubala yet to convince. Hopefully he might score now.

 

[AllOrNothing]

Husband, poor positioning, poor distribution . I hope he doesn’t get frustrated as he’s a penalty and /or red card waiting to happen

 

[Greggy Lane Lasher]

Husband shocking with crossing.

He is the worst of a bad bunch when it comes to crossing.

 

[LGDSeasider]

virtue is crap.

 

[Albert Ross]

Virtue looks half asleep at times

And rubbish the rest of the time.

 

[BlackpoolsFinest]

This side, albeit obviously weakened, has such little quality in it. We're gonna really struggle to score unless Gabriel can get down the right and get the ball in to Yates or Madine.
I highly doubt we're gonna see any creativity from Bez or Virtue.

 

[gjr69]

If we class Mitchell as a left back, Husband would be my 3rd choice.

 

[Eastpaddockkid]

So frustrating in the final third,

Lubala yet to convince. Hopefully he might score now.

I so want him to come good.. he’s very frustrating and not sure the right fit for us, but maybe just needs that first goal to lift him

 

[Scaramanga]

MJ Williams likes a foul

 

[HetzkeBlaster]

Too many flicks and tricks going wrong, we need to keep it simple, pass, move, and keep possession

 

[Macseasider]

You have to say this is as poor a side we can select and it's showing. We look gash.
