Just watched our goals back on YouTube, very few actually come direct from Evans set pieces.

Enough of them to keep us up in that final run.

Evans set pieces resulted in:

Second goal against Doncaster
Both goals against Sunderland
First goal against Shews
Equaliser against Burton

I'll give you Burton & Shrewsbury, but the others DIDN'T come directly from him, which is my point, how many passes inbetween corner & goal does it take to still be classed as a set piece goal???

We aren't talking about assists we're talking about the delivery causing the opposition enough problems that we score from that passage of play.

That's exactly what I'm talking about too.
Both goals against Sunderland were from poor corners (1st one over hit, recovered by Joe Dodoo who crossed it in for Keane to swivel and score... 2nd one ended up on the edge of the box before being clipped back in).
The 2nd goal against Donny was a half decent delivery which pinged about before Aasgaard smashed it in.

He did a decent job for us last season despite limited appearances, but he's nowhere near as good as some make him out to be...
 
Just my tuppence worth on Evans. He's a good player, valuable in any team going for promotion from League 1 and we'll miss him. BUT he's been with us, on and off, for 4 years and I don't think he's improved at all in that time.

He's a league 1 Rolls Royce, but many of him contemporaries from that 2017 squad have improved as they've matured(Byrne, Burn, Morsy, Dunkley). Evans just seems to have treaded water as a top league 1/mediocre championship player.

I'd still have rather he stayed but that's football.
 
His first loan stint here was gutted when he went back to Wolves and then to Sheffield. Not fussed about him leaving this time though, has been a good player for us, but never improved. His consistency was all over the place.

Forgot to mention he seen his contract through like a pro, unlike garner, naismith and the others that weaseled their way out of contracts. All the best at Ipswitch Lee.

Think we missed out with Johnston though, he looked a very good defensive midfielder and a decent central defender at this level too.

If richardson had wanted him he would have got him , must be something he was not too keen on in the player
Prone to mistakes is all i can think it might be

He did make mistakes, but not as many as Tilt. Who made atleast one per game. He was competitive, put himself about and covered good distance. Only 22 and his 1st season playing pro football. Can't expect much more from an inexperienced player. He's gone away, move onto whoevers next in.

Agree with what you say, I'm one who really did not want to sign any of the players that we finished the season with
Well when I say any I really mean might be one or two
Johnston was one I would not neither tilt
If we are to move forward we need better and more quality type of player
The lad from pompey being a start I'm sure the directors and talal know who they want oh and richardson

TBH KDZ, I think Aasgaard will be the one taking the mantle of dead ball specialist.

From what we saw of him last season I think he is more than up to the job and is a lot younger and looks to be developing into a decent player. Lee Evans on the other hand looks to have reached his peak and has become prone to injury.
 
Thought we would of been linked to Ryan watson by now, even if we're not interested. Former youth player of wigan, coming off the best season of his career scoring 8 goals in l1 from midfield. Contract ending at Northampton.

Wintle being linked to championship, couple leaving Crewe at the end of their contracts.

Team built upon out of contract players, seems to be the best year for it.

Excellent start with Whatmough.

Now this one I agree with asssgard is the one to take over from what's his name again gone ipswich
 
Could well be shot down for the following;
not many players leave Wigan and go onto better things.
It could be the age of player we have signed in the past, but even the ones who moved at the right age Palacios Bullard Ellington did not reach the potential we saw in them.
I concede there are a few in Scotland that look better than when they were with us. However there may be an obvious answer for that.
