I was ready to post “ Wigan are by far the worst team we have failed to beat”
Thankfully now not necessary.
Was never relaxed until the final whistle.
Thought the Ref was on a different planet?

Thank god for that! Dreadful spectacle really, and a poor advert for 2nd Division football but will take 3 more of those to take us into the World Cup. What a crap division it is this season. Say it every year but feels quite different this year, really poor. It’s beyond horrific.

13th in the table - according to Nige. :-) 17th according to the football league table Yes, but Nige can't count.

Great 3 points, 2 Shiite sides, we need to get better. Strange division though Blackburn 2nd lost 8, WBA 23rd lost 7.

Brown and Gayle is an awful front 2
and Delap is a waste of time.
I'd be happy if we could get rid of all 3.

Tremendous performance! Absolutely brilliant players! World class all over! 🤠 I didn't watch the game though. 😂 Less possession equals win!

We are in serious trouble this season with this group of players so that's a big 3 points We’ll be absolutely fine as long as we can get a settled team in the near future……

I think that we deserved it tonight & we’re the better side. Birmingham satdee will be tough as they look a decent side this year. McClean was Wigan's best player tonight so that says it all…

Fucking hell, cheer up. Might have been shit but we’ve been complaining about playing well enough but losing. Just what was needed and bigger tests to come, but there’s no way we are losing 4 home games in a row. We’ll pick up points in the next 10 days.

Deserved the win, but it was a very poor game.
Just hope Thompson, Powell and Tymon are ok

Brown and Gayle is an awful front 2 and Delap is a waste of time. I'd be happy if we could get rid of all 3. I think AN has realised we need a new striker. Gayle is clearly an intelligent player, I thought he was lively first half. Brown is getting his fitness back. I’ve seen nothing from Delap so far, a real shame.

We are extremely wasteful in front of goal, but at least we got all the 3 points this time!

We were better against Cov and Rov(?) but I’ll take it.

Well played Ben Wilmott tonight. Opinions eh? I thought he was terrible. His passing was abysmal.

We played better in the games we just lost. Funny old game which I thought we'd blown as per usual. Let's get motoring now, especially at home!
Brown seems to have regressed, think Neil is working out how to use him (or whether to). But if we can limp to the break with 5-6 more points that's a decent effort. After which we will see what Neil is made of.

Brown needs to harden up and stop falling over like a tart. He does nothing for us at the moment. I suppose the only thing good was the three points. Performance wise we were crap with absolutely no idea how to create a chance. Things can only improve. Might be worth trying a few of the younger players. Delap needs to be tpold if you can't get the ball cleanly don't foul the defender.

Not a Brown fan at all, he was awful tonight. No control or intelligence at all.

We’ve been absolutely terrible this second half, bar one semi decent move that came about through a poor touch from Gayle. Wigan have taught us a lesson in physicality, they have absolutely man handled and bullied us all over the park. We were never in danger. 4 chances in the first half and same in the second. Comfortably better than Wigan and easing Powell, Brown and Tymon back

After losing 3 on the bounce an ugly win away is perfectly acceptable surely? We were still the better side Obviously we have to play better generally but first things first, clean sheet, no big errors repeat that and add better forward play - and all our forwards and attacking midfielders can play better -

I think we just need to keep going with the regulars until we get to January and hope we have a good Window

Reminded me of the Blackpool away game almost a year to the day last season when we just needed a win to get the season back on track.
We won the next two games after that one so a repeat would be nice…..

Let’s look at the positives We’ve played much better in several games recently and lost Powell and Tymon are important players for us, hopefully subbed as a precaution
