No Farrel was good,
KKP at this rate should be in before Bateman on form.
Bibby was good all night.

My comment was joking and while I disagree as he had some crackers last season it was in his top 10

I understand, but Leeds managed 10k.
Believe me when I say I'm very much Anti freedom day, I sat in my mask and had a go at people using the toilet exit as an entrance. (And I'm in my 30s so apparently covid safe)

The club could have spaced the seating better but I would have still expected more enough people don't care when it comes to the pubs

I went tonight for the first time in what seems like forever!

One thing I learnt: it's so long since I went to a game, that I need new glasses! Even driving doesn't really reveal it, but I found I couldn't recognise the players on the far side of the pitch. I'm heading into Specsavers tomorrow morning! :lol: Srsly, I shan't go to another game until I have new glasses. But that's fixable.

So, the match; well, as far as I could make out :D , some improvement in attack, but still looked quite clunky at times. Bibby took his chances well, but on the other flank, Gildart looks light-years below his best. Pleased to see Shorrocks get a try, he has worked so hard this season. Goal-kicking still an issue.

5000 is awful, but I fear it could become the new normal.

Leeds. the city holds a population of over 800,000
The population of Wigan is around 335,000 people (Also includes Leigh)

Only my second live game this season :D.

Overall, I think it was the shot of confidence both fans and players need......especially for Wire.

Excellent play by Jacko tonight, looked like Sam T tonight playing from 1.

Mitch Clark is definitely worthy of a place in the 17 and I'd like to see O'Neil start at 9 going forwards.

Usual good performances from Faz, Isa and KPP!

With all respect to Wakey, we need to raise everything though 10 - 20% as Wire are clearly not Wakey.

Anyone see the angry Wigan fans in the Boston Stand not long after Shorrocks scored :lol: .
