I have little faith in the clubs scouting, someone looked at Johnstone and thought a 3 year deal was a good idea

Some of those three year deals are killing us. Not giving us any room to manoeuvre.

Indeed, though the 2 year deals for Connor and Satae maybe show we've learnt a lesson. For any player not matter how good they are 3 years can be a long time in sport, fitness and form can drop suddenly

Very poor way to end the season and whenever the club tries to promote itself the team let us down. Before you all sling your passes in the bin, remember that IF!!! you’re renewing, save them or it will cost you for a new one.

I'll be renewing. I'm too far gone

Re: Wigan home : Sat Sep 11, 2021 7:27 pm  

just had a look at the player ratings on HDM
Obviously the ratings should be poor and they are but guess who has the lowest rating of any player with a mighty 4
The golden boy Sneyd
Leave out the insults, people are allowed their own opinions.
Sneyd is holding us back
Connor made mistakes but at least he tried different things.Sneyd did sweet FA

I've said all I need to say on Sneyd. Keep repeating the same stuff. But if I'm a half back, and we get nilled, I'd be embarrassed. Alan Hunte said months ago that Sneyds issue is that he doesn't play with his eyes up, he carries on with the play that has been called. Today, I counted 3 or 4 occasions where he doesn't see what the defence is going, he does his little dance and then gives the pass to a player that already has a defender on him. He is so predictable

Yes, he tried to sign him for 2019 but it didn't work out but then Radford tried again a year later and secured the signing.

Think Hunte said it pre match when we played Leeds at home.

Pinning our hopes on a marquee signing won't fix our issues.

We need some strength in depth for a start. 2x Props, 1 utility back, 1 half and a hooker. If Mau is released (which I'd do) we'll need a 2nd row too.

Bowden, Masi, Shaul, Taylor have hardly played. In Masis case not at all.

Plus the longterm injuries to Griffin, Cator and Reynolds have really tested an already thin squad.

We've lost Jones, Ellis, Kelly and Naulago going into this season and only brought Reynolds in.
