Match Day Thread: Wigan 11th Oct 2025

If they’ve been disastrous, why would you have them in the team?!

Unfortunately, while we’d all will them to succeed, we’re only really even considering them as starters due to their transfer fee. If they were like Max Muller a few years ago, a freebie project signing, we wouldn’t do that at all.

I like it too. Just hope it’s 4-3-3.

Disappointed that this thread isn’t full of pictures of everyone’s pies and pie barms.

Let’s hope we test Tickle significantly from minute 1.

Cool. We have pictures from Wigan and audio from MK Dons. This would never have happened under Phil.

Read most of the comments on here. It’s not rocket science to see who hasn’t been performing but still gets picked every week.

Make your point. There is no real collective of who should definitely be in or out, beyond McNeilly from what I can see.

Some moan about Grimmer but very clearly he will start so that isn’t baffling either.

Our squad feels as interchangeable quality wise as it has done in a decade. Which doesn’t feel a good thing.

Im out buying Brownie clothes

Back 4 or back 3?

Looks about as back 4 as it gets but I have thought the same before only for others and Duff to say otherwise!

Looks like a 4231. Fred and Bell on the wings are way too light, easily shrugged off every time.

Key stat from the Sky comm - We’re bottom of the league for 1st half scores, but 2nd in the league for 2nd half.

The Danes were likely sold a very specific vision - move to this club in England that you’ve probably never heard of, because we are getting a Danish manager you’ve very much heard of, and you’re going to be vital to his team’s spine.

Oh and also, the team is flying and you’ll probably be in the championship next year.

Then the manager falls through and they get Dodds, who doesn’t play them much, and it all goes tits up. Then they get Duff, who also doesn’t seem to rate or play them much.

Oh and you’re in what’s starting to look like a relegation battle.

While they’ve been fairly unimpressive, I can see why they might be pretty demotivated and disorientated by the whole saga.

Have not all Dan Rice’s signings been poor, can’t think of a single player he’s signed permanently in the last 15 months that would get in to our first 11 from any of the last five seasons.

Is the attendance as poor as it appears on TV?

So far, this is the worst, most tedious game of football I’ve ever seen …………since the last Wycombe game.

This is park football. At least we haven’t conceded yet.

Dan Harvie signed in July 2024. But if you’re talking post-Scott Mitchell who knows. Junior Quitirna hasn’t done anything wrong so far.

It’s horrible to watch, absolutely zero quality and a complete lack of ideas.
