Footballer's love a fad/craze - like when everyone was putting Vicks on their shirts for a season or two.

Just reducing pressure on the calves and allowing better bloodflow/circulation.

Either he thinks he's Grealish or got a weird birth defect and breathes through his calves (not a video, again!):

I think you'd give it 15 minutes after the break to see if the space opens up a bit as players start to tire. Then think about Allen and Kane for Palmer and Eccles around the hour mark. When a team play like Wigan have you've got to be patient. The margin for error is tiny on these final balls...

That was almost a replica of the goal at Blackpool

Does Hamer get a new pair of socks to cut every match or do they make him wear the same pair each week? No wonder we can't break even. :P

You can see how hard it is going to be to break them down here - all 10 of Wigan's outfield players within 20 yards of each other. Going to take something special to break that down. (ITS NOT A VIDEO!)

Wigan playing very narrow and getting back in numbers out of possession. Choking our attacking mids and happy to leave the space for Eccles out wide who has needed a better final ball on a number of occasions already.

Would be livid if I was Wigan, getting a yellow for that, 2 mins after Palmer's blatant drag back.

Now we finally get to see that front 5, you just know today will be the day that Fadz gets sent off after 10 minutes and Wilson proceeds to chuck a couple in his own net!

Sometimes certain combos of players just click though and I do think the Great Dane (/Swede) with his two Chihuahuas either side of him can cause a lot of teams problems, especially if we are set up to counter attack. The cock and balls formation I've called it.

Your wisdom is too Northern for me out here in the East!

Robins addressed that in his post match interview. Captain's Armband had shrunk in the wash and they didn't have time to buy a new one, so he was the only one it would fit.

One big part of Allen's 'purple patch' that doesn't seem to have been mentioned, is the return to the box and not having to play a lone AM role behind two strikers. That's no coincidence.

It can't be nice having Gyokeres batter you all game and then the one time you manage to get away from him, you've got O'Hare and Allen giving you 0.1465 seconds on the ball. In fact I feel a bit sorry for O'Hare and Allen when it's the Big Swede that always gets the reward!

Thanks Evo.....had to double check my own drunk post history then! Not me!!

My own observations on Sheaf are that he's been asked to do a slightly different role this year and do more of the midfield dirty work himself to give Hamer a bit more freedom up the pitch. Throw in the run of games prior to that where we went very defensive to grind out clean sheets and it's...

That suggest we expect Moore to be gone in January then?

Not tried the Ferrero Toché yet, are they nice?

Drum roll please!
