Up two places, a battling performance, especially in the first half, shooting on sight, crossing balls with more than one player in the opponents box and tigerish tackling coupled with closing down quickly.
IF we continue we that level of commitment and cut out strange substitutions, Gomez for Scotland ?? then we will stay well clear of the quagmire that is relegation.
That point (the Stoke City bench were delirious with it as were their obnoxious fans) could well keep us in the EPL© so how important was Kirklands super save late on ?
BWFC is now the MUST win game, I sincerely hope the players are up for it along with the Latics faithful.

Ps 10/10 to the Eaststanders chanting ONE-NIL TO THE EMPTY SEATS, ONE-NIL TO THE EMPTY SEATS, ONE-NIL TO THE EMPTY SEATS !!! Just classic lads & ladies, just classic.

Stoke City are an ordinary side and they made us look terrible in the second half. Like I said in my match report, I hope it was the strange substitutions that altered the flow of our football which was very good up until then.

McCarthy had to come off, he started the second half with his leg heavily strapped, but Gomez for Scotland was crazy.

Did you know that our front two, sorry one, has scored just five goals in the last TWENTY games?

Martinez needs a rethink, he needs to swallow his pride and admit his 'style' is more suited to the lower league's then the Premier League, as are one or two of his players. Surely he is able to alter things (ie, play two up front when goals are needed?)

Still Noblot next, so we need to rally behind the lads and hope that some truly good performances (for the full ninety minutes) of many a game is now forthcoming, starting with the (T) Rotters!

Im with the landlord on this surley He could have brought Moses with 30 minutes left to run at Stoke with fresh legs.
if we go a goal up I sit waiting for the opposition to score knowing we probably need two to win a game and once again they gave a forward space to score it was the same for Cahills Goal (Everton) the other week.

heres' hoping things go our way tonight west Ham Hull and Wolves all in action Its bad when we have to look for other results
