Amazing away win for Wigan. I’m not a Wigan fan but I don’t like to see teams being thrashed. I thought the defence was very poor and made the opposition attackers look much better than they are. Today people are saying their attackers are obvious choices for England where I don’t see that at all. Against a normal defence at that level they don’t get much of a look in and are near miss experts, so lets get real.
Tonight PNE take on Newcastle at Deepdale. After having a bit of a lean spell PNE should be out to show they’re still in there. On paper Newcastle have a Premier League side but you can’t guarantee they’ll play. No doubt there’ll be a good following from their long suffering fans, but then again you could say PNE fans are long suffering but don’t have the same expectation, except tonight. Then onto Blackpool next week, their ground is looking better now and they’ve maybe gone over a peak which PNE might catch at the right time.
