Rubén played forward by a long ball from Stokes, goes to beat his marker, blatantly pushed. Another free kick won in an attacking position

Ball crossed over, Reda heads over

We're currently in 3rd the march to the arch is on!

 

[jackdg]

Mowbray out... Why are we signing 18 year olds... Etc etc

 

[sw88]

Reda is winning everything! Has just taken out one of their men albeit after winning the ball in a fair challenge. Play brought to a halt for treatment

 

[IrishSkyBlue]

Good start bang in another now be great start to the season

 

[chiefdave]

Leicester 3-0 up at home to Sunderland in 25 mins. Hopefully Callum can bang a couple on for Bournemouth today, they're at home to Villa.

 

[hamil99]

Awesome start, need at least another goal if we want to win the match.

 

[Mr pot]

That horrible we won't keep a lead feeling I have so often is drifting back

 

[sw88]

Burge looking a little lost and indecisive there. Header goes wide

 

[sw88]

Surprised we're sticking with the 424 with the goal advantage. Then again if it's not broke don't fix it

 

[CoT]

Arma goal! Will stay up to the League One part of the highlights tonight.

 

[sw88]

What was that about? Our free kick and their man goes for a shot before we could take it!?! Did he see something we didn't?

 

[Perryccfc]

Arma goal! Will stay up to the League One part of the highlights tonight.

Remember it's on channel 5 at 9pm these days

 

[sw88]

Surely Burge should have smothered that? Could have gone anywhere. Luckily it went for a corner

 

[Wolves_SkyBlue]

Cheering the lads on from sweltering Kyoto, Japan PUSB

 

[sw88]

Almost a counter from the corner, Maddison tries to play in Armstrong who was just beaten by his own pace and was offside. Would have had the whole half to himself if he wasn't

 

[sw88]

Another chance for Armstrong. Played in by Maddison, cuts inside, keeper can only party but recovered to collect it a second time

 

[CoT]

Ah yeah I forgot about that. It's nice being earlier, but I liked the bbc coverage and iplayer > five on demand

 

[sw88]

Vincelot messes about near our byline, clearance goes upwards more than anything, concede possession and shot deflected for a corner

 

[sw88]

Lino in our half is very slow

 

[sw88]

Another free kick for us.

This time three players dummy and the Wigan wall encroaches. Get to re take

 

[sw88]

Maddison hits the wall, second chance goes out of play

 

[Astute]

Surprised Armstrong is playing ahead of Tudguy. and not convinced about playing a centre back at right back. Good luck leading the line by yourself kid. A big ask of two 18 year olds to lead our attack.

Are you convinced yet Stu?

Come on boys we can do it.

 

[sw88]

How many more challenges is Maddison going to back out of? Without wanting to find negatives right now, he does need to be braver

 

[Grendel]

Reality is a lot of the players are not performing well. The defence is and Johnson has electric pace.

Tackling isn't a strong point of his though is it.

 

[Grendel]

Tackling isn't a strong point of his though is it.

If he's going to be playing behind the strikers it will have to improve.

Why has he got that stupid thing on his head?

Is it a pineapple?

Ricketts the difference to our defence, compared to last season.

He brings a calmness and he looks quite assured and has them pretty well organised.

Wigan obviously identified Willis as the weak link down their left flank.

Lameiras seems a little lightweight, but I like Vincelot, who brings a bit of grit and Armstrong looks a real handful.

Decent half, great goal brilliant play by JOB and cool finish by Armstrong. We haven't really created anything of note since bar Armstrongs shot from the edge of the box.

Started to lose the midfield battle last 20 as Wigan start to get around the box, but with a lone striker they haven't really troubled Burge who's looked composed.

Ricketts is playing very well. Willis is being worked down the flank as there is no midfield protection. He's doing well. Stokes has JOB to help cover.

Burge still looks an accident waiting to happen. At least we've given up on him goal kicking.

Fleck poor Vincelote a bit out of it as well and can't see what position Lameries is in.

There is always a chance of goals with johnsons pace but tudgay I think should be playing.

Annoys the hell out of me! Alice bands should be banned from the me s game! Or maybe I'm just jealous because I lack hair so will never know what it's like to wear one?
