I've been waiting for a gritty performance like that, boys dug in right until the end. Great team performance off the ball, wasn't quite happening on it but everyone gave 100% and that's all we can ask for. It's not easy at Wigan don't be fooled by there position, teams will go there and struggle. Ox was imense, weren't really going for Theo but he did well to win us the pen. Wilshere is the lion we have been missing, unlucky to be booked as he won the ball vs Maloney. Well done boys, coygs!.

Wilshere did not play well today. Wigan didn't let him.

Wigan play the best football in bottom half of table easily. Their all round game is excellent. Just need a good striker.
As for us wins like this are better than the ones vs Reading simply because it shows character of the team.

i think you were watching different game my friend. if wigan were more potent up front we would have been in trouble, simple as that.
if you look at the individual quality players we have in midfield you would realize that our current midfield is not balanced as wigan easily matched it.
i wish people really new something about footie.

But he was the only one in midfield who was fighting. I am pretty pleased with him today.

3 points is all that matters, couldn't care less about anything else. all away games can be tough it's all about the result.

I think your looking at this wrongly mate. A cold wet winters afternoon up at Wigan and we have beaten them. We have been slated by pundits and rival fans because we usually bottle days like this. For once we held on, we can't smash teams every week. I think you need to get real.

Cant really remember many Wigan chances apart from Kone 1v1. They only got so many shots against us a the fig had about 4 blast that went miles wide.

Got the 3pts, every gooner should relax and be content with that.

Jona,
I do think we can play better and I definitely believe that this team needs some more extra players but i'm not going to go mental because we didn't have 90% possession, 28 shots on goal, and win 10 nil.
Wigan are a decent side. Let's be happy we won and not crucify the team for a decent result.
