Some of the free kicks he 'bought' were a little embarrassing. Won't get away with it on other weeks.
To me he had little pace and stamina. Wanted the free kick every time. Poorest player in the team.

Wasn't there but were Wigan poor? Or did we make them look bad?
It's a date !!!You'd need to score a first half hattrick, wank me off at half time and then take me out for a curry in the evening to get a 10!
What the fuck did Burge do wrong?
Class today. Wigan looked nothing special but no different to some teams that embarrassed us last season.
Think JOB and stokes were good today, although I did think there was a world of difference between our attacking conviction down the right and down the left.
Maddison looked promising. Lameiras looked like he lacked fitness and confidence, but underneath I am still excited about him because I think there is a good player there underneath. Think Mowbray was shouting at him all game and think his body language showed lack of confidence. Still looks a good player.
Armstrong. Wow. Class above this league and I will out my name against the claim that he will absolutely not be here past and his 6 month mark unfortunately. He's better than this league...at least after this game lol.
Johnson and Ricketts looked solid. Happy about our defensive performance. Vincelot was good too.
Burge had an okay game but I was touching cloth whenever a floated ball went near him. Hard to put how I feel into words but he just makes me shit myself whether it goes near him. Didn't do anything wrong today as such but he still makes me uneasy.
Fleck did good too I thought. Needs to lay off the pies tho

6 months is a long time and it does give Mowbray time to find a more permanent or semi permanent replacement. Shows what's around doesn't it? Bet no one had heard of him before he signed and wow, what pace, control, confidence and ability. Was talking to my 8 year old about making runs off the ball and making the game easier for your team mates and he did that all game.
Burge - 7. Solid display from the keeper today. One cross he shouldn't have come for, but besides that, a decent game from him.
Willis - 6. Didn't play that badly, but the majority of Wigan's dangerous play was coming down that wing. Not sure if he was carrying a knock or it was tactical when he was replaced.
Ricketts - 9. Outstanding. A very calm head. Cool on the ball and no nonsense. Very impressed with him today.
Reda - 8. Pretty much rock solid. The odd air shot here and there, but he does continue to look very commanding at times.
Stokes - 7. Steady game, but a few wayward passes.
Vincelot - 7. Impressed by him. No nonsense, broke up play and tackled hard. Spread the ball out quite well at times too. Think he is going to be a very important player for us this season if this is anything to go by..
Fleck - 6. Disappeared yet again for long periods, but then he made a few impressive challenges and through balls.
Lameiras - 6. A bit hit and miss. The lad can't tackle and gets knocked off the ball quite easily, but he does have a deft touch. Time will tell on this one I think. Need to see more from him and hopefully we will.
Maddison - 6. Rather lightweight. One delightful ball through to set up Armstrong and he did hit the post, but he flitted in and out of the game at times. He does have that ability to turn a game in an instant though for sure. I am sure he will be an important player for us this year.
JOB - 8 . Worked his socks off and it was a gem of a pass to set up that Armstrong goal.
Amstrong - 9. MOTM. Dangerous all day long. Lightening pace, a good footballing brain, in tandem with boundless energy. Was a nuisance to their defence all game long.
Pretty much how I saw it Otis. Good reviews.
I think the fact that our attacking players are all small forced us to play football instead of times gone by off lumping it up there and seeing if it sticks.
I hadn't seen a way of playing JM RL and AA in the same team but it bloody worked

Burge 5??
He had a very good game, great kicking, and some important catches for a change, it will build his confidence up that's for sure.
Burge - 6 - due to a solid defensive display he wasn't called upon too much, bar the odd long range desperation shot. Made a good close range save in the first half too. Marked down for his kicking, how many went straight out of play/to their keeper? Not good for retaining possession.
Dunno why fleck getting so low ratings. Thought it was best game in city shirt for a long time. He got stuck in, covered a lot of the pitch as did vincelot. Both covered gaps when willis or stokes overlapped. The whole team were immense and just hope it was a case of Ccfc making wigan look poor rather than Wigan just being poor. Once we come up against teams more physical could be a different proposition. Wigan tried to play football but we were just at them from the start, even winning 50/50 balls which wasn't the case last season. In fact wigan reminded me of how were last season. Caldwell must be Pressley mark 2

I still think there are a lot of people who don't like Fleck purely for not living up to the hype that was present when he was brought in. My Dad doesn't really like him and spent a lot of the game criticising him.
I thought Burge looked better than last year and much more confident. However, his distribution was poor and we missed out on at least a couple of fast breaks following well caught crosses. I am less worried about GK position than last week though hopefully Cooke can have a good game tomorrow and push Burge on too.
What the fuck did Burge do wrong?
Grow up you twat.Oooooooooooooooooh... didn't realize you were so close? What did he do right?
Grow up you twat.
What the fuck did Burge do wrong?
An angry inquiry in your first post and labelling me a twat in your second. Delightful.
If it makes you feel any better I'll upgrade Burge to a 6?
Nearly put it in his own net wasn't the cleverest.
I think PTA has a crush on him
