    Another excuse from winger. At least he acknowledged that he saw the game. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Wearing Your Clubs Colours

    I wore the red and son wore the sky blue. I couldn't care what people wear...far better to hear the shouts of encouragement, the general support and the hum of excitement round the place. At half time in the toilet queue the crowd were buzzing about the way we were playing Sent from my iPhone...

    What's your favourite biscuit?

    I love fruit shortcakes. Could easily eat a packet in one go...no wonder the missus says "you're a little fat ba*tard". She has a point! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    wigan's point of view. Boss disappointed to start the season with defeat at the Ricoh

    They may have had more possession but rarely threatened burge...we had a lot less, scored two, hit post twice, could have scored others. Possession is fine but if you never or almost never get in the box you aren't going to win many football games. I felt we often let them have the ball and...

    Match day experience feedback

    The toilets were awful...long quest at h/t and people unable to read/understand/respect the 'in' 'out' entrances. Also the toilets seem to have rusted in places and really didn't look up to the job. Any more people there and they wouldn't have coped at all Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What can go wrong

    Yesterday was only the first game. We will face different and better opposition. V quick forward might pose ricketts n Johnson problems and as Otis says injuries make a difference. It will be interesting to see how TM sets his sides up differently to face the opposition and crucially how quick...

    Wigan (H)

    Cheers Pie. Yes I was pleasantly surprised, after the pre season showing, with our performance and equally surprised by yours. You will be ok if you can start to put some end product to your possession. In the last third you did nothing and only looked like scoring on a couple of occasions. Yes...

    If he hits that many by Xmas the least they will do is hawk him to championship clubs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Jim O'Brien

    I have not been his biggest fan and never felt he better than average but today, playing out of position he was excellent...tenacious in the tackle, good tracking back, great pass for goal. TM gave him a job and he carried it out brilliantly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Wigan Athletic (Home) Match Thread

    All round v good display. The players that TM has bought in ...ricketts, Vincelot, lameries and Armstrong all had v good games. All have improved the quality of their position. and TMs tactics playing a sort of 4-2-4 at times was inspired today Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Positivity thread

    Couldn't have asked for more from any of the players today. They knew their jobs from front to back and all gave 100%. Wigan were not as good as I expected them to be but we put a lot of pressure on them at times by pressing the ball. Later in the game when they had a lot of the ball we let them...

    Bit exposed at times but fleck and Vincelot stuck to their jobs superbly and the defence mopped most things up. I do think real pace might expose us down the middle but that is for another day. 4-2-4 TM a genius. Certainly worked for us today Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Player Ratings

    Thought every one had a good game. Burge much better than I expected...but not under any real pressure. Willis and stokes did well...a couple of times lost their man but worked tirelessly. Reda and ricketts looked solid, read game well and never looked flustered. Defensively good...

We have football training (for him not me) this morning...then drive to cov for game. Really excited this year...not cos I think we will challenge (we won't) but because the TM style...
