I really don't understand how Wigan are struggling so badly, they have a good manager and a decent enough squad and I expected them to push on from last season.

Their start to the season was really strange but we've seen many teams lose in the play offs the season before and not recover.

But by their own standards they have had a disastrous season, nobody can deny that.

didn't birmingham do pretty much the same thing (relegation with a cup, late play off push after going down then suddenly and mysteriously becoming huge relegation candidates) but then save themselves. wigan look long gone. might even finish below blackpool ffs.

I can't get my head around Wigan. Done a Wolves big time here. If anything it's even more ridiculous.

I grew up in a time when teams like Wigan and Blackpool were regulars in the third or fourth tier of English football. I won't shed a tear when they're back on the level they've played at for most part of their history.

 

However, I do feel sorry for their fans.

Yes. And lost a lot of good/key players in the process. Mutch only went for £1million didn't he? Redmond went for £2million and they lost Butland (and Gardner?) too. Chris Hughton even moved on to Norwich after Lambert went to Villa.

Simon Grayson did so well with Blackpool. Winning promotion to the second tier before leaving to go to Leeds. It was set up well for the following manager imo, who eventually was Holloway. We know what happened. Mind you, Charlie Adam was instrumental in their season didn't he end up with 15+ goals from midfield?

Can't score goals.

Assombalonga is ruled out for a year after knee surgery. Massive blow to Forest. Shame for the player he looks a decent prospect. gotta laugh at forest though hahaha

Posted

I do feel for him as that's a nasty sounding injury, his career could be under serious threat from that.

 

No sympathy for Forest though. Karma for not even paying for him.

Posted

Normal service resumes for Forest and Doggo Freedman then.

 

Shame he managed to give them even that little bounce though as those 6 points will probably keep them up.

 

EDIT: ffs. Blackpool are a joke.

3-2 Blackpool now. Looks like an exciting game.

Nothing like Bolton - Watford. The Hornets led 1-0, then were 2-1 down, took the lead once more with 3-2, Bolton equalize, Deeney with the winner in the 90th.
