View From Wigan

[Speedracer]

Thanks Roy, pretty fair comments on the whole but stop with all the "Sheffield's" FFS.

Its always the piddling little clubs like Wigan that are the least respectful.

Wish we were half as piddling, they won the FA Cup this century and a great few years in the top division. Far more than we’ve achieved unfortunately.

 

[TTMeysh]

Reasonable and respectful comments. Sometimes I wish we still had Dave Kitson.

It's been said many times and more eloquently, but these 'Views From' really are one of the best features of this site. Many thanks Roy, and here's hoping that by this time next year we are reading the 'View From Manchester United'.

The rest of the football world is catching on to the fact that there's only one team in Sheffield in the same way nobody bothers adding city to Bradford or United to leeds

Funnily enough I was going to add that from all the "Sheffield" comments from various fans them lot had become an irrelevance for the wider football community & not just us.

Some of them mentioning their recruitment, how its miles behind ours and that that was being the difference, yet they had Morsy and Evans in their midfield. Their recruitment is not far off ours. It's their tactics, support, work ethic ect. are the things they need to improve

Also getting the balance of their first eleven right. Like one of them said they had players that could cause us trouble on the bench that should have been starting the match.

 

[I should coco]

this time next year we are reading the 'View From Manchester United'.

"The ref was shit at Old Trafford today and only gave us six pens"

"They souldn't be allowed to run all over the pitch and tackle our players. None of their players cost more than £10m and we should just have been awarded the points at the start, without the poor ref having to work so hard to gift the game to us"

"The prawn sandwich was very tasty and I bought a lovely key ring and Reds bottle opener in the megastore. I was disappointed in the Sheffield team as they had no players I'd ever heard of"

"I prefer the other Sheffield team and everone knows Wednesday are much bigger"

Steady on!!! That's a bit controversial in my view. There are plenty in Bradford (including Bradford City fans) who know that Bradford FC is actually the proper name of Bradford (Park Avenue).

 

[georgebernardshaw]

I take it you think we should measure ourselves against the likes of Wigan...

..or how their shit support helped us win 3-0?

 

[Plymouthblade]

We ripped them apart but there was no difference between the teams

 

[GreasyChipBeattie]

But still no fans

Reminded me of this.....

Thanks Roy, great start to 2019

Must be referring to a game where the singing section was in the BLUT. Those were loud days...

Not sure what my post had to with our own support but hilarious comment nevertheless mate, well done.

 

[Willie Carlin]

One thing about Wigan and their support...

They have a group on the side stand next to the away fans who try to make some noise..... then absolutely nothing at all behind the only goal - it's basically empty. It's a ridiculous setup. They surrender any bit of vocal support they might be able to muster, certainly any advantage from it.

It was basically a home game for us today.

They’re Rugby people in Wigan. Whelan did well to get them where they are.

 

[FriethBlade]

One of their posters compares the Sharp and McGoldrick partnership to Ellington and Roberts which is a massive compliment as those 2 were as good a partnership at this level as virtually any I've seen (Deane and Agana were better of course!)

 

[Blend-it-like-Harris]

Seems such a long time ago now they were feeling sorry for us when Jags gifted them survival in the Prem.

 

[IAmBlaDE]

Reading those comments actually made me feel sorry for them, oh well. Cheers Roy great read UTB

 

[Topplayersleave]

Yeah, they're ok Wigan fans. They gave us a lot of support during the Tevez saga and Dave Whelan was thoroughly disgusted and made his feelings known quite robustly

 

[Liverpool blade]

Cheers Roy. I have the feeling that they’re not happy??. UTB

Lighten up sweetheart, didn’t realise you were so sensitive

Sensitive? Just sick of the same old bollocks.

Take it as a compliment that people actually pay attention to what you post. You tried something, stuck your head up above the parapet to do it.

I get tonnes of half and half stick...

I’ll not mention it again if it’s a sore point. Love and hugs for 2019

Ignorant piss taking isn't something I'm willing to take as any sort of compliment....

Sheffield, Sheffield, Sheffield

Must be a View From record number of ‘Sheffield’s in this one!

Even if you don't know our exact formation, I'm surprised at how often 442 comes up in view froms, I mean there must be a 5 in there somewhere, even if you can't decide between 352 and 532.

I’d say the key is 3 rather than 5. I often see graphics showing 3-4-1-2 which I don’t disagree with. Perhaps more accurate is 1-3-3-1-2 (Egan is the first 1, Norwood in the first 3).

Anyone thinking we play a back four is clearly new to the sport.
