    I'd just like to remind some folk that Wigan have premiership players, premiership money and are currently holders of the FA Cup

    Expected to lose tonight, still hurts but didn't expect a miracle against Wigan. Predicted 3 0.

    Millwall, Doncaster, Blackpool and NK Maribor (whoever they are) have beaten them this season.

    So that's worrying.

    When anyone buys a season ticket they have to accept that they have only bought the right to sit on a piece of plastic 23 times a season. Nothing more nothing less. If you believe that you have purchased more then I'm sorry you are mistaken. Season ticket holders also enjoy a significant discount compared with match day tickets.

    Three clubs go down each season and this season it could be us. Am I happy? not ******* likely. If you aren't I suggest you don't buy a season ticket next year as most football clubs disappoint their fans by perceived underachievement.

    Fair enough, NK Maribor beating them isn't worrying.

    But our rivals, Millwall and Doncaster have picked up 3 points against a team with Premier league Players, Premier League money etc (like you say) but they have pretty much walked over us in both games. That, and our current position in the league,IMO is worrying.

    Of course it's worrying but it's daft to compare results of other teams to ours. Football isn't a production line - **** happens.

    I'm afraid that doesn't excuse,,,,,,,

    Lack of effort
    Not having a troubling shot on target
    Very poor football
    Looking absolutely inept
    Looking like they didn't have a clue
    Weird substitutions
    Brek Shea! Nuff said
    Playing Mcloughlin obviously injured after 10 mins getting a new bumhole ripped and costing the goals....

    I could go on! We'd have looked **** against anyone toneet . FACT

    Sorry but doesn't wash with me they are in our league on merit they are not even in the PLAY OFFS
    Donny
    Birmingham
    millwall
    Charlton
    Blackpool
    Boro
    Huddersfield Bournemouth in the bottom half have ALL taken points from them

    13 Huddersfield 31 -2 40
    14 Middlesbrough 31 5 39
    15 Bournemouth 30 -13 36
    16 Blackpool 31 -14 35
    17 Sheff Wed 30 -2 33
    18 Birmingham 31 -3 33
    19 Bolton 31 -14 30
    20 Doncaster 31 -19 30
    21 Millwall 31 -28 28
    22 Charlton 28 -15 24
    23 Barnsley 30 -22 23
    24 Yeovil 30 -21 22

    So more of the bottom half has taken points off them than not & we've been on the back of 2 tonkings and both times made the ridiculous defeatist excuse that "well, they ARE a bigger team". I don't buy it and at this stage in the season if we're going into games with that attitude we're down already. I hated it when people were saying these things after the first game but bit my tongue I hate it even more given what I've said above

    Plenty of teams in and around us in the league have beaten them this season. Look hard enough and an excuse can always be found. Don't beat Millwall? They have a manager with premiership experience. Don't beat Huddersfield? They have our former manager trying to get one over on us etc.

    I give up. You win. We're definitely going down because other teams can get a point off Wigan
