Wigan’s class outweighed our dominance I am afraid. You can’t fault how we played and what we did, but when Wigan broke there were multiple class players controlling the ball and running off it and they looked like scoring and sadly did.
I thought all our midfielders played well today, but the issue remains that none of them individually offer what is needed in controlling the pace of the game.
We can rotate that existing group all we want, and as today they can all play well, but we are missing a Toums and it hurts. Unless we fill that hole we will continue to lose games that we dominate and start looking downwards in the table at the end of the day instead of upwards.
Didn’t like the Wigan players attitude, but they did what they needed to get the result and begrudging I applaud that as it helped win them the game. Oh, how I miss being that team at the top.
