Wigan 1-2 Fulham 08/02 15:00

[Fulham 1879]

I've never seen Reed pass the ball so badly as today.

Def gettin Burnley in the next round

[keithh]

Phew. Wigan were so dangerous in the 2nd half on the left side. We should have done more 1st half. Good crowd 10K I believe.

[hopper]

Learned a bit today. Sess impressive, Muniz brilliant. Reed and Benda way off it.

[SerbianLad]

Ultimately, we got a win and that's the mkst important thing.

[LPNCanadian]

Reed doesn't bring anything to the table; there's no benefit to his presence. He's like a conductor of an orchestra, just waving his hands around throughout the game.

[The Cravenette]

When will we learn to finish games off when we have the chance? 90% possession 1st half and only 1 up. Asking for trouble in an away cup game.

Oh well, we are in the hat.

[Lighthouse]

Yeah well it was a poor second half. But when we were talking about bringing in a reserve full back. I said we needed a keeper. Today proved it.

Please not Burnley in the next round.

[SP]

Please not Burnley in the next round.

I'd rather have Burnley than Man Utd & the officials in the next round.

Yep...

[bill taylors apprentice]

Poor decision making by too many of our experienced players (Reed in particular) against a poor Div 1 team.

Hey ho! we won and thats the most important thing.

My thoughts exactly.

[McBrideOfFrankenstein]

In Reed's case to be fair he hasn't played in ages and could still get back up to speed.

[LPNCanadian]

Muniz, I tend to critique him a lot, but not in this game. Forwards are expected to score, he scores two goals, but what stands out to me is his relentless movement throughout the match, his defensive efforts, and the constant pressure he puts on the opposing defenders. He was undoubtedly the man of the match.

Good to see that acknowledged

[Chi_FFC]

Highlights are up on youtube and it's pretty clear to me that fwiw the first goal should be an og. The camera angle from inside the goal shows that Muniz's header was not on goal, he headed it back/sideways before it hits the head of the defender and goes in.

[Lighthouse]

What worries me about our reserve keeper is his poor positioning. The basics don't seem to be there. Twice now he has been beaten by spectacular efforts that look great but each one eye just seems to be in the wrong place in the goal.

Might be over critical but the basics just don't seem to be there.

Unlikely Reed will feature again this season, should be shipped out

Agree on the positioning on the goal, but it's a bit too hindsight for me because we know where the ball ended up. To be fair, he saw the ball come in pretty late. Poor effort from Godo to close down the angle. The same lack of effort from Reed on the disallowed goal.

I think Benda made some brilliant saves for someone who has barely played at all.

He was good today, but maybe he found the right level, He is a Championship striker, so against league 1 is going to shine, we need him to step up in the PL really
