Surely the lad has a future with us, he has qualities that improves us as a team,and deserves a good run in the team

When is he contracted to?

Winstonswhite

Surely they weren’t forced to sell him?

Winstonswhite

First score to the Wolfpack. But can’t see it lasting.

These low attendances for Wigan must be a bit of a worry.

Winstonswhite

I went to the bookies in Newcastle where I was at uni, to put a tenner on him scoring a hat trick vs Wigan, which was a massive amount of money for me then. After much rooting around in the back he gave me 10-1 the tight Geordie b@stard. Easy money.

Winstonswhite

Away at Hartlepool in about 98? There was less than a thousand there and I believe it was our lowest first team attendance

Winstonswhite

I think if they came with an offer of 30 million it would be hard to turn down. We’ve got back up.

Winstonswhite

The first game I went to I was taken into the 100 club and introduced to Roger Eli who I think had scored a brace against Peterborough (might be wrong) As a young lad I was in awe but will never forget those 5 minutes he took talking to the family I was with! I was a fan for life after that and it’s...

Team for Tomorrow ? Does Lowton keep his place ? Brownhill start ? Interesting

I think Lowton will keep his place after old Trafford and Brownhill will have to earn his place wherever that is CM or RM?

Winstonswhite

It was known as On Digital and they signed a deal with the football league in June 2000. Moore signed in a November 2000

We spent money we hadn’t yet received- Kilby probably learnt a big lesson from it.

Winstonswhite

He can’t be an upgrade on Hendrick- we’ve been told on this message board that to replace him would cost over 20 million.

Winstonswhite

I’m kidding. He nearly took his head off. I’d have just given him ten though. He didn’t mean it

Winstonswhite

I thought he was milking it!!!

Wolves down to 12 men, Hill sent off for horrendous tackle round the head and neck of Powell.
With a tackle like that he should be called Kill.

Video ref awarded a try and Hardaker converted.

12-8 to The Warriors.

It wasn’t that bad. The Wiganer must have a glass chin!

Winstonswhite

Quite funny that Wigan have announced Gay Pride day when they play Catalan

Winstonswhite

Factual Frank and his cunning ploy in predicting results so the opposite happens works a treat yet again.

Still a hell of a lot cheaper though to watch Burnley over a season - have you seen how much Spurs charge admission for home games?

Cheapest season ticket £795

No, you were inferring that it was the same thing when footballers read social media

I implied getting abuse not just on match day was like how children are bullied outside school hours these days but 24/7 via the internet.

Winstonswhite

...and if it's positive? See. There's the problem with your point Also, digital bullying? You absolute snowflake. These are grown men, highly trained professional athletes. Their biggest critic will be themselves. They'll know when they've done ****, they'll be told by the gaffer and how to improve...

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/jan/25/scott-parker-fulham-old-school-values-social-media-fa-cup Quite an interesting read. Parker says the first thing some players do when they get back in the changing rooms is fire up their mobiles and Twitter to read instant “feedback”. I have an inklin...

Winstonswhite

The fact is we’re a relatively small club with season ticket holders who only want to watch us play in the Premier League or glamour ties. Same at most clubs across the land.

Norwich took 1600 to Preston in the last round

They took 833.

https://www.pnefc.net/news/2020/january ... ch-report/

I can’t imagine there will be many more than 500 on Saturday given they’ve already been once this season.

Winstonswhite

Someone got the lineup spot on last time. Can’t remember who it was.

If we just get a good few draws for once, we stand a good chance.

Winstonswhite

Not me but 2 cracking results and hopefully sets us up for a major rebuild this summer - as relegation would be unthinkable with the job in hand And im still far from happy about recruitment but will see what happens - still have a feeling Dyche will walk in the summer though Why on earth would Dyc...

Winstonswhite

Just because a player sits on the bench doesn’t make them a bad signing and a waste of money. Circumstances dictate when they play. See Gibson and Tarkowski before him. Vydra too could step up if there were injuries and he got a run of games.

Winstonswhite

Arsenal played really well to say they’ve only had ten men for much of the game.

Winstonswhite

And Southampton Norwich and West Ham all have the worst home records...

Winstonswhite

It’s January! Long way to go yet. Beat Arsenal next week and we go above them

Totally agree with this. Fingers crossed he’s just waiting for our survival to be secured before signing a new contract.

Fantastic loyalty that!

Winstonswhite

I wouldn't be surprised if it was Jeff Hendrick. What most influential in a bad way? For the whole 2018 Hendrick didn’t play in a single winning side whilst he was on the pitch despite making 29 appearances. We won a few games during that run but that was once he’d left the field. Everton at home 2...

Winstonswhite

One win in the last eight. (5-4 last min OG against Brum )You could well be right BOT. Still, they’re doing everything right and us wrong according to some of our fans

Should give the Barstewards something to laugh about I suppose.

Laugh at what?

**** me, we haven’t even been in the relegation zone for the last 12 months yet have us down already and then the world ends doesn’t it?!

Jesus Christ I’m glad Dyche et al have bigger balls than some fans. Man up

Winstonswhite

Are we not due a win there? When was the last time?

Winstonswhite

Categorically we cannot let him go this month. And we won’t do. There’s absolutely no benefit to us whatsoever.

Winstonswhite

Only Leicester and Southampton are in any sort of real form.

Chelsea have lost 3 of their last 4 home games -against West Ham, Bournemouth and Southampton

Winstonswhite

To put into context, Bielsa has lost almost double the amount of games Dyche did in his two Championship seasons already and there’s still half a season left.

Winstonswhite

I'm sure they'll bring in better than Bamford. It just shows though that you don't need to spend millions upon millions. If you're a good coach you can get a team playing good football. True. But I’ve seen Burnley playing good football against clubs a lot bigger than us in one off games, but end up...

This is why Leeds will stay in the Prem next season when they come up. They could stay up with the squad they have now, nevermind the money they'll have after a takeover.

I know what you’re saying but they will have to be more clinical up front if they want to survive.

Winstonswhite

Happy with that

Winstonswhite

Exciting isn’t it?

Winstonswhite

In the same vein as the Under 23’s philosophy, I’m pretty sure there must be players within our “market” that currently cant get into the top six clubs squads we can be taking a risk and making offers for. Howe had exactly the same constraints (even more so with regards to available finances and lea...

Winstonswhite

For whatever reason he just doesn’t like Vydra. He was b!tching to Woan about him not even warming up properly yesterday!

Winstonswhite

Really enjoyed it today for lots of reasons. It was great to see us pass it on the deck as we were given a lot more possession than usual obviously.

Winstonswhite

Someone should go on the Wigan forum (if they still have one) and ask if they’d prefer to still be in the Premier League with no FA Cup win.

That would settle this argument once and for all.

Winstonswhite

I’d gladly bin the whole thing. I’m not getting another ST if it’s still used in its current form. Keep for blatant f**k ups by the ref if absolutely necessary, let him quickly check a monitor for 10 seconds. No lines, dotted or otherwise. It’s not an exact science anyway, it’s just a game played o...

Winstonswhite

Second highest league position at New Year for over 40 years and we need a “Positives Only” thread?!

Winstonswhite

That’s rubbish. None of my mates go to matches but they all agree it’s not been good for the game.

Winstonswhite

11,000 were on last season when we beat Barnsley so you’d expect something similar.

There has been no word from the club of us having sold out

So all that mud that was thrown at the club for only taking the lower allocation, and yet again it appears they’ve made the correct decision?

Winstonswhite

Not sure where all this pessimism comes from. When was the last time we lost at home in the third round?

Winstonswhite

I’m pretty sure the only time we were safe when we had a cup match was away at City in the FA Cup two seasons ago and Dyche played a full “first choice” side.

So if we pick up a few more points before Peterborough we might go for it knowing that we’ve survived again.
