Well, we tried our best to muck it up - but I'm very happy to be proved wrong!

PS I'm now happy to commit to saying - we're safe from the drop for another year...

 

[jokerman]

A measured, clinical, performance. Everything is going to plan. Gulp!

 

[markinkent]

Phew indeed. Successful teams win that sort of game.

Did the say okeefe has 9 yellows? That's some going given he's not been back that long.

Massive game at Blackpool now.

I need another beer, bad showing tonight but good result.

I’d finished both bottles of Proper Job in the first half and have now finished two glasses of wine.
It makes your nerves bad FFS
Why can’t we just have a comfortable win ???

 

[The Roone]

That old saying 'Play badly and win is the sign of a good team' if we average 2 points per game we are in with a good chance of making it.

 

[Archiepoptart]

Got my times all wrong but managed to get most of the second half. Stonking goal by Oliver. Wigan were a better side than I was expecting. 3 more points onwards and upwards

 

[jogills]

Some of the luck we didn't have earlier coming to us but you have to be tough enough to hang on in there. Second game in a row we were. We might yet find we have that 20 goal striker

 

[Romany]

What a March we've had, 5 wins 2 draws and a single goal defeat, Oliver 8 goals in 8. Manager and player of the month surely.

 

[RotherhitheGill]

Got away with that, now to watch f****** England.

 

[townendgill]

There are (many) games where we've played better than that and been beaten or drawn but it's results time, not performance time of the year now.

Hope not, Oliver should be a shoo in, just hope Evans doesn’t get the dreaded manager of the month award although he probably deserves it

 

[Sturdy Gill]

Didn’t fancy us at Hull don’t fancy us on a Bank Holiday Monday on the seaside.

But this lot have consistently surprised me this season

Bring it on

 

[octopus]

Best team didn’t win today but we have experienced that ourselves in a few occasions which makes it even more sweeter in my book.

Scrappy but exciting. Loved it!

 

[wxgill]

If only all those games in hand had already been played.

 

[Romany]

It will probably go to Sunderland's manager, they're unbeaten and only conceded one goal

 

[Sturdy Gill]

Good hope it gets it - don’t want the curse

Had a look at Wigan forum
All the usual
Jurassic Park football
Cheating, diving bastards
How the fuck are they sixth

One bloke did put, they play to their strength.
Powerful, big and aggressive.

I enjoyed that! Been a crap few weeks of late... Got the footie on the main screen indoors. Every 10 mins family coming in asking if I'm ok. Will be, was my reply. Well played Wigan, they deserve to stay up after tonight's performance. Cheers Gills, you being me light when the world seems to be in darkness
