Come in number nine your time is up. Sylvan Ebanks-Blake has had 19 shots in the Premiership this season and has scored just once and that was a penalty, surely it’s time for a change?
At 0-0 he missed a gilt-edged opportunity to boost his own confidence, which must be at rock bottom, and the chance put Wolves a goal up and maybe on the way to an unlikely victory.
But the difference in the pace and quality of Wigan’s danger men N’Zogbia and Rodallega and anything Wolves had to serve up was frightening and down right depressing.
Something just didn’t click on Saturday and at times it looked like men against boys or simply Premiership vs. Championship level football.
Wigan had more possession, more shots, more quality and it seemed more hunger to push on for the victory.
Hahnemann was excellent and could do nothing about the two goals, but really I would struggle to pick out anything else positive from such a woeful performance.
And what was Stearman thinking? Although referee Howard Webb made plenty of mistakes during the game, surely nobody could complain about Stearman’s dismissal.
Saturday illustrated the urgency for some quality team reinforcements over the next couple of weeks.
We obviously need someone to take the weight of Doyle’s shoulders and score a few goals and a player who can put a quality ball into the box, not easy finds in an overpriced, competitive transfer window.
I’m getting sick of people telling me that there will be three teams worse than us come the end of the season.
After an abject display where we could have been spanked by five or six if it wasn’t for our super Yank between the sticks, I’m struggling to see how.
