player ratings
Cutz- 7.5 only one mistake that could of cost us, when he spilled a cross, no chance with the goal, 2 of 3 good stops, overall fairly good.
Halls- 8.5 really good performance, solid in defence, a threat going forward, one of the contenders for MOM.
Clarke- 7 probably should have been sent off for 2 yellows but he played well, just 1 near fatal mistake where he passed the ball across the box and gave it to roberts.
Williams- 7 looked clumsy to start with, but improved and lets not forget two of the best strikers in the division, (combined fee's of £3mil) and neither had a clear cut chance. well done willo
Thommo- 8 is quickly becoming one of the best CB in the first division, really fought hard and dug deep when required, made a few great blocks as well
Hooky- 6 struggled at times, lacked confidence to go past players, a masterstroke from pulis to switch him with asaba 5 mins from half time, we began to play some good stuff towards the end of the half
Asaba- 6 again struggled, is being played out of position and is obviously frustrated. had a bit more fire in his belly in the second half but just needs a bit of luck you feel.
Eustace- 9 MOM this man is GOD. bossed the midfield, lead by example, got stuck in and produced the pass of the match, to release ade for his goal. what a hero.
Russell- 6.5 has improved alot since the start of the season, would rather see him on the right though.
GNW- 5 not fit but gave it a go, so for that i applaude him. desperatly needs a run of goals, which he is defo due.
Ade- 8.5 nearly MOM typical ade performance, really did trouble their defence(one of the best in the division) WE LOVE YOU ADE
subs
commons- 5 very little impact
Svard- 6 decent effort, made a few good breaks but his shorts are too short for my liking.
Hill- 5 good to see him back, not enough time to really make a difference, people who are writing him off are a joke.
overall a decent stoke effort, we did not deserve to win, but we also did not deserve to lose. further proof of how far we have come this season what made me chuckle was when the wigwamers were singing "WHO ARE YOU, WHO ARE YOU" errrrrrrr this being sung by a team whose all time top goalscorer is the legend that is andy liddle with 68 goals. HA.
as for the sending off, at the time i thought the ref made a mistake (i got a clear view, was sat in family stand) i think he lft his leg trailing and john halls grabbed it, and it maybe looked like he had stood on him perhaps. the ref was a bit crap, neither side really benifiting though.
a few last thoughs.........
what the hell was our new free kick routine all about, the hands in the air thing, then hooky picks the ball up and put it on his head?????
was also quite surprised by the wigan support, considering they hav home gates of like 7,000 an away support of about 2,000 was quite good, quite vocal as well, and apart from the two pricks who ran onto the track and the twat in the burberry cap who made about 100 cut throat gestures at the family stand it was a good atmosphere

we were crap first half and wigan should have scorded 5 in the first 10 minutes Second half we came our fighting and Hooky and halls played well. Not impressed with the crossing of Seb Svard. it either goes wide or straight to the goalkeeper. Game was ruined by the ref Prosser and them two tits from the Wigan end who ran onto the astro turf. What they hope to accomplish by doing that is beyond me, its just thick really isnt it?
