How’d we lose to Wigan? I mean come on, I know they are a pretty decent side, but last time I check so are we. That was a piss poor performance, but I’m not surprised that’s what happened. Ricky has been skating on thin ice tactic wise. I think he needs to stop thinking about holding the lead or the game, and go for the jugular.

From the Gaffer Ricky Sbargia
(from BBC SPORT)

They pay their money and are entitled to vent their frustration. It is up to us to deliver and sadly we didn’t.

“I thought we were poor in general and the worst performance we’ve probably had since I took over.

“We lacked tempo, decision-making and paid the penalty for sloppy defending.”
