Season 22/23 | The Official Match Thread | Wigan Athletic v Swansea City | EFL Championship | 10.4.23

I like Manning and will be disappointed to see him leave but he's a massive, massive shithouse. :lol:

Honest post.
He s embarrassing at times.
Great player he is not. He s good and has served us well enough.
Now we move on.
Good luck to him wherever he goes ,for more money .

And so the improvement continues.

Very good half of football.

Jo Peru is looking lethal, just wish that third had gone in. Paterson is a knob, went down looking for a penalty after the slightest of touches when he was in on goal.
I'd like to say this match is all over, but we know from bitter experience this season that it's not the case. Come on now, Flipper, carry on where you left off on Friday, you actually looked like a goalkeeper for once.

Manning is making the most of his ability along with his agent to maximise his earnings. He did the same at QPR as he’s doing now. It’s the modern game and we have to live with it.

Don't disagree in the slightest, doesn't mean that he won't be a huge loss though especially considering how toothless we are out on the right.

My big hope is that it means that we will see the rise of Ogbeta next season when there is no one else to play that position ahead of him.

After 5 minutes of dithering that was a fine away performance for the next 40.

Typical Russel Martin to have runs of 8 or 10 games with play off form and half a season with three wins, two of which were against 10 men.

Incredibly frustrating because the squad is clearly capable of so much more.

Agree on all points.

It's been 2 seasons of this and yet some still don't see it. I don't know if the problem ultimately rests with the owners, the players, or the manager, but it's always been the case that the manager carries the can. Can't sack the owners or an entire playing staff can you?

Oh dear, the Gogs are 1-0 down.....that wasn't in the Hollywood script.

Very good half of football.

Let's hope it lasts for more than 3 or 4 games as usual.

 

[Muteswan]

Good movement there.

 

[CygnusX1]

I can see why Wigan are bottom. They are bloody awful

 

[Longlostjack]

Sunderland score

 

[Pegojack]

Joe Allen's off the pace, needs tobe hooked.

 

[CygnusX1]

We’re getting a bit complacent now.

 

[Ringwood Jack]

Shame our final ball this half is well off the pace
