Ratings & Reactions: Wigan v Villa

[PompeyVillan]

Winning but playing garbage football. 

It's a situation I'm slightly uneasy with in our position. I'd like to see us start building a bit more fluency into our game, with a view to doing muchbetter next season.

I'll take the scrappy win any day, but we should never be mid table in this division.

I have not seen or followed anything on how the game went, but it is good to get another win under our belts, these last few games of the season are all about building momentum and confidence ready for next season.

Glad to hear Hogan got on the scoresheet, always nice to get off the mark at a new club. Hopefully the first of many.

Whilst sitting in Pizza Hut I saw a car go past with a number plate that more or less spelt Kodjia, I must admit to being disappointed that it wasn't a sign that he had scored a Hat trick. Haha.

Just on a side note, get well soon to Jonathon Hogg who suffered a fractured neck playing for Huddersfield.

In before "sometimes you have to win ugly"

In our case, it's all the time !!

Haven't seen today, don't care about the performance. 2-0 is not to be sniffed at. Good for Hogan to get off the mark us. Another clean sheet as well gives the defence and gk more confidence.

Great to win but the performances aren't improving at all.

Ill take the win but we cant afford to be playing such poor football against good sides - we'll get found out

[supermon]

Is it me or have a lot of our recent goals come in the latter stages of the second half.

Beats conceding in the latter stages, getting that resilience and confidence is key. Too many times we have bottled it in the final quarter of a match

Sounds like a 'The Day Today' horse name.

Can't believe all the semi-negative comments on here. We have won five of the last six and that is the only stat we need to focus on. We may be lucky and sometimes it may be ugly but I will take that over losing whilst playing 'better' every day of the week.

[mjmooney]

Well I was hoping we'd lose, so that Bruce would get sacked. 

</sarcasm>

 

[terrytini]

There is nothing 'negative' about being concerned about how we set up and / or play, just as being unconcerned about it doesn't make you 'positive'.

Couple of decent headed goals there.

Good win today like the option of Jedi at the back and then move him up a bit and bring another cb on to close the game out. Pitch was awful rain didn't help, the Wigan fans around me reminded me of us last season, totally despondent. Mom for me is Chester well taken goal and a captains performance. On a side note 4700 villa never stopped singing amazing noise! UTV

Little concerned about Gary Gardner today, didn't seem at the races and didn't have any period in the game where he bossed the midfield, against, let's face it a terrible Wigan side.

Things seemed to go much better when we stopped playing Adomah as a Stiker and brought on Henri and Hogan.

VPN will assist you. 

 

By the looks /sounds of it Johnstone deserves quite a bit of credit for keeping us in it.

Rubbish set up, rubbish stats, we did a win, Hogan did a goal.
