I remember when I could not take my eyes off a Leicester game. Spent this half looking at my phone. Just horrendously dull.

I’m the same. Feel like the club has just battered all of the joy for this sport out of me.

 

I can’t remember the last time I even reacted to a goal.

Definitely, he looks knackered already

Probably Luke's drinking buddy

Can we bin off Okoli?  Liability.

[MC Prussian]

"Lumberjack" Okoli.

 

Wouldn't surprise me if he was the first player to get sent off AGAINST THE WORST TEAM IN THE LEAGUE.

[jonny_wright]

Wigan will take a couple of these chances today, we are so poor on the transition

[Patrick]

Unbelievably shite football. I haven't watched a match in full for a while and this won't be an exception.

[DJ Barry Hammond]

That’s crap defending by Okoli - it’s quite a basic understanding of defending that you don’t square up against a running attacker because you’ll always be left flat footed.

I know it’s League One, but the standard is absolutely shocking compared to the Championship. Some of these players genuinely look non-league. Have I just been spoiled by years of watching Premier League football?

It's mainly the physicality and the mental side of it. They just can't cope with making good decisions under pressure

[Unabomber]

The Okoli hate reminds me of when another cult hero used to get stick (Amartey)

[MPH]

Imagine being such a crap defender that you have to give away a technical fioul  and yellow card against bottom of the table Wigan 

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

I mean this seriously, but does Okoli have some sort of cognitive impairment? 

[FoxTimmy2]

Not sure I can take another season of this league. The football is so shit.

So you’re saying his family member isn’t right about how to pronounce his own name?

Yes, he's probably thick as shit.

[RAZZAFOX]

Why do we insist on playing the ball to feet in attack where it's easy to be cut out and never ever play the ball into space??? Infuriating

Knackered and depressed 

[dmayne7]

This is a special kind of shite

[lgfualol]

Chaplin is the tiniest little lad isn’t he. Would like to see him do something.

Can someone explain our formation.

 

It feels like we’ve gone 5-0-5.

 

Smallbone was pressing next to Riis as Chaplin looks like he can’t get around the pitch yet is meant to be there!

All over the place.

[Dan]

These are total garbage and we're giving them a chance.

[SafewayFox]

O’Hora and Okoli play football as if they have Ant & Dec in their ears, “Give the ball away, but in the middle of the park!”

[eastendfox]

Utterly terrible half of football. Best get used to League One, it could be a while.

[Rubbersoul]

These have basically turned up to get done 3-0 and we’re going to give them a chance of getting something 

[Patrick]

Honestly think you'd see a better standard of football than this in the National League North.

[Phube]

I get the feeling O’Hora is a better midfielder than defender?
