Wigan top, Wyke with a brace....

With all the upheaval at Wigan last season we had lots of different players as striker most not at the club now. I suppose kean and Lang who are now playing off wyke. Just thinking about Tuesdays game I would think we will make a minimum of 6 changes probably more like 8

Same here probably, neither ourselves nor you’s are overly bothered about the carabao cup so it’ll be a match between the second string 11 bar a couple of players for both sides.

I've heard Wyke is working hard, aside from his 2 goals yesterday Wigan fans seem happy with his performances. This surprised me, not the fact he's working hard but that they rate him as a player.

Does he still give away fouls wrestling with centre backs, lack pace and mobility to really trouble defenders? Like do you think he's a good footballer? If he scores 25 it won't matter. But what if he doesn't. Remember when you had say Heskey, he didn't need to score to play well. He'd make the ball stick, win free kicks, he'd even have a burst of pace down the channels. From what I seen in the 3 years, Wyke is a poacher but his game has clear deficiencies. It's surprising the Wigan fans haven't recognised this, or maybe they have?

I think everyone can see Wykes strengths and weaknesses. He does give fouls away and when he gets brought down him self doesn't always get the decision. I think he is at the right club because we are just glad to have a team to put out. Maybe if and when results are not going our way some will question him

We're in a great position we just need to keep playing as we have done and keep creating chances, poor to lose today but that's football, one game it can happen it just can't go beyond that.

When we have spent as much as u maybe the EFL will look at us. U spent more on Grigg and still paying some of us wages than all our players cost 🤔

As a percentage of our gate receipts we spent nowt. Your percentage might be a bit different.

Like was said before way too early to start talking about promotion lots of good teams for this level in this division I’m sure lots of ups and downs to come before a ball was kicked I would have taken top 6 and that’s still the case.

We did.
I've loved watching us play this season, but yesterday though not awful, was like watching us last season.
Unlucky to concede late on, I still think a draw was fair , and Hoffman was contender for motm

We so needed a new number one so i’m pleased with Hoffman even tho he was a bit shaky first game

Fair assessment of him.

We’ll probably make 9 or 10

He was shit, if he didn’t have McGeady he wouldn’t have scored more than 10 goals.

Ross Stewart is 10x the player Wyke will ever be. Plus he doesn’t cost £10k a week

wyke was played out of positon for much pof his career at safc..no wonde rhe didnt score many..
last season he was played in his proper positon and did well..

he has recahed double figures in this league without having mcgeady there to cross them.
