Muric 7-Commanding second half that made me think we may have a keeper on our hands (no pun intended)
Roberts 7-Industrious as always
Harwood-Bellis 8-I thought he had another commanding game and his distribution was excellent
Taylor 6-I was really surprised when Charlie didn't start at LB. Not sure he's the long term answer at CB.
Vitinho 7-Slotted into the role well but I don't see him there long term.
Cork 9*-I've got this song going through my head 'Generals and Majors-XTC' because Captain Fantastic certainly was.
Cullen 7-Put another shift in even though at times he was on the edges for me.
JBG 6-Good to see him back but he was on the fringes.
Brownhill 9-What can you say, he's been given a free role and boy is he excelling.
Tella 8-Another brilliant loan signing by the looks of it.
Rodriguez 7-Intelligent play and led the line well.

Churlinov 6-Didn't stamp anything on the game but early days.

Muric 8 Distribution top notch. Great ball for Tella's goal.
Roberts 6
THB 8 Can't wait to see him in the team with another dominant CB.
Taylor 5 Does he know what goal side is? Never a CB
Vitinho 8 Class. Hope we get to see Maatsen & Vitinho as the full backs in some games
Cork 7. Put a real shift in and did the dirty work
Cullen 7. Same as Cork
Brownhill 9 Faultless, 2 great goals and an assist.
JBG 6 Started well, then very quiet
Tella 8 Why did Southampton loan him out???
Rodriguez 8 Shame he's not quite fit enough for 90mins. Need a striker before the deadline

Fantastic performance and fully deserved victory which probably flattered us with the 2 late goals. Brownhill is a man possessed currently and it makes you think if he had been given more licence in the Prem could things have been different. On the flip side Chas is really struggling for me and strangely, being one of the senior pros, is our weakest link at the minute. Very ponderous on the ball and his positioning is getting him caught out especially with balls into the channel. With him not having the comfort blanket of Tarky and Mee at the side of him anymore, even though he is playing out of normal role, is it time to try somebody else? It is a little harsh of me but you are only as strong as your weakest link…

[Colburn_Claret]

watch it 5 times then and try spotting the complete lack of effort from Taylor - he's hardly breaks into a jog. The footage doesn't lie. He did ok over all but that was **** poor from him

Both CHs have a bad habit of letting their man get goal side of them.

There was a very early clip of a training session, when VK explains to McNally that he needs to be stood side on to the pitch, so that if the ball goes over the top he's ready on the front foot to chase it. I think he needs to let THB and Charlie in on the secret.

Wigan were unbeaten this season so calling them a League 1 team is slightly disrespectful!

Can't see them doing anything but fighting relegation this season.

Liked the more pragmatic approach. Seemed to play out more from wide positions and got forward with more purpose
Another great away day to add to Huddersfield
