Game On at Wigan

Welcome one and all to our ‘Game On’ article which today will see us travel to Lancashire to do battle with Wigan Athletic.

Around 4,500 Newcastle fans will be present at the DW Stadium this afternoon, and it would have been more had we had a larger allocation of seats.

Unfortunately the request for extra seats was turned down down, which I don’t really have an issue with. I mean why should Wigan hand any advantage to us when they have their own agenda to worry about? So 4,500 it is then, which is still not shabby at all and I can vouch from personal experience that those travelling will have an excellent day regardless of the result!

I’m expecting a tough game today. Wigan may have lost last weekend but they’ve been in great form these past few weeks and have given themselves a real chance of staying up when it looked as though they were certs for relegation. Wins at Arsenal and Liverpool along with a home victory over Manchester United have helped their cause no end.

In contrast Newcastle are looking to strengthen their hold on fourth place and know that a win would see them go six points clear of fifth placed Tottenham and seven points clear of sixth placed Chelsea, both of whom play tomorrow.

For more in depth analysis and preview of the match, why not try reading statto’s Stat Attack or my match preview. Both provide statistical analysis ahead of the game, with news of any injuries, potential team news and landmarks that can be achieved through the game.

Team news will be added below as and when it becomes available so keep your eyes peeled. Also keep your eyes peeled for any decent streams of the match and share them with your fellow NUFC fans if you like. Unfortunately it’s not on the box anywhere other than overseas so share the love people.

Howay the lads!

Wigan: Ali Al Habsi, Antolin Alcaraz, Emmerson Boyce, Gary Caldwell, Maynor Figueroa, Shaun Maloney, James McCarthy, James McArthur, Victor Moses, Jean Beausejour, Franco Di Santo

Subs: Mike Pollitt, Albert Crusat, Jordi Gomez, Connor Sammon, David Jones, Hugo Rodallega, Mohamed Diame

Newcastle: Tim Krul, Danny Simpson, Mike Williamson, Fabricio Coloccini, Davide Santon, Cheik Tiote, Jonas Gutierrez, Yohan Cabaye, Hatem Ben Arfa, Papiss Cisse, Demba Ba

Subs: Rob Elliot, James Perch, Shane Ferguson, Ryan Taylor, Dan Gosling, Shola Ameobi, Leon Best

    I think we’ll see us having a go at Alcaraz today alot. I’m not some sort of mystic meg but reading that Daily Mail article yesterday and there’s a photo of the video analysis for the Wigan game and theres alot of files down the left with his name in them.

    You can only see the start of the titles but some seem to read ‘Run off and Alcaraz’ theres two of those.

    Altogether theres 5 files with his name involved.

    Glad to see the team unchanged and I hope they don’t change the way they have played, we might even see the long awaited thumping if we get of to a good start and early goal :grin:

    Krul has been poor mind really poor.

  231. 231
    HBA39 says:
    April 28, 2012 at 15:56

    yes I know Newkie. But With this we are completely dominated in the middle, only Cabaye and Tiote and Tiote is really not here for the moment. I think we are better with our original 4-3-3. But for the moment we just sat too deep so when we get the ball, our striker are 70 yards from the goal just impossible to play.

  232. 232
    Michael12 says:
    April 28, 2012 at 15:56

    Great off ball tactics by wigan. They are not letting us settle on the ball and chase it down. We cannot get the ball past midfield without being forced to back pass. We on the other hand as soon as Wigan get the ball we are racing back into position including our mid even if the man on the ball is within a few meters our players are concentrating too much on getting into position.

    We had a good run and just like we accept good runs and results we must also accept the bad.

    Yes Toonsy I know we concede 2 with our first formation. But i still think we are better with the first one. With this its shit. Now we just need to score one in the 5 first minutes and afte everithing is possible.

  236. 236
    Newkie says:
    April 28, 2012 at 15:58

    JJ-I meant that for the fourth goal, for me all the defenders were in position-however their midfield was overflowing and none of ours were tracking them down…that was Tiote all over for me. With some of Krul’s positioning….

    Willo has been poor but not sure i’d blame him for any of the goals? The first he should have cleared it, but then Santon should have stopped the cross…

    But at the end of the day we are still going to europe. and we still don’t know if were going to be worse of than what we were before today, Spurs have still to get a result as do chelski

    at the end its the players that for sure. But i don’t know why we are dominated like that in all the pitch. We just seem lost. Some games things doesn’t go in your way. Just to hope now to score one or 2 and go for a win next game. But in my opinion we need to really stop Krul hoofing this fucking ball and SImpson to. We need to play, we are dangerous only when we play, even it that goes with the risk to lose the ball in our half pitch

    Of course 4-3-3 suits as best, but its not because of that formation or the other formation that we lost today. The players have been shite. That’s the reason.

    The fact that people are blaming Williamson and Simpson absolutely astounds me.

    Why can people accept that none of our players showed up? And that even the stars can play like absolute shite? Only Colo and Benny did anything for me today, and both of those let themselves down at points. Poor team performance all round, shockers from Tiote and Krul for me, but I blame the team, no individuals..

  375. 375
    Beardsleys Boots says:
    April 28, 2012 at 16:58

    to be fair, they absolutely battered us from kick off, and are good for their win.
    I said yesterday, they would come out of the traps fast and furious. Surely Pardew and co would have figured that out too ? yet we looked shell shocked and surprised.
    Gaaah :!:

    We were unlucky not to score with cisse and HBA. Our defence let us down today. Todays game required patience but also required a clean sheet from us problem is no matter how well played you can concede an unlucky goal we did that. Pardew did not know what to do from there and it went down hill.

    That said Wigan were fire today we could not compete with what we saw today. Hell I wish we played like what I saw from Wigan today their off the ball tactics were like Barcelona chase the ball forget about falling into position and in a set amount of time we must win the ball back else fall back into position. Wigan executed that brilliantly credit to them where credit is due. If they can continue that and survive next season watch out for them.

  383. 383
    Newkie says:
    April 28, 2012 at 17:04

    Lace-he was stationary and a great pass was played through to Caldwell or whoever it was who scored? I can’t remember, still do you want him to be running backwards before a pass has been played?

    Di Santo’s goal? Really? Why should Simmo steam out of defence to close him down when Tiote was up with our forwards and just strolling back towards goal. Though I think that was the fourth one…dunno which you mean.

    Anyway I can’t be fecked arguing anymore, whenever we get absolutely raped as a team it all comes back to one or two players, madness.

    That’s football. Sometimes you can score on every shot at goal and sometimes you miss by inches or hit the post. When it goes in you are described as clinical, when it doesn’t you are called wasteful. Just one of those days.

    And sometimes you get a dodgy penalty in added time – heh heh. At least last week was a scream.

    We went out in wrong frame of mind, and looked jaded. Pards changed tactics, and that seemed to be a factor. We made Wigan look like Barca. Just like watching Brazil according to the big nosed scouser.

    On the plus side, Benny was absolute class. Must keep a hold of him. Its still all set up for the Toon to give it a good go. The rollercoaster hasn’t stopped yet.

    jeez that was poor – we just didnt turn up, presume Pards took Cabaye, HBA off to save them for chelsea

    One of those days I suppose and theres been plenty of them in the prem league this season – we’re not out of champions league just yet but its now going to be tougher than ever – shame, especially with Arse only drawing

    Roll on Weds night, hopefully players will be up for it

  397. 397
    kimtoon says:
    April 28, 2012 at 17:28

    We seem to set ourselves up to match wigan rather than play our own game and we just ended up giving the ball away and resorting to hoofball.When we did get back to the passing game last 30 mins we created chances ,hitting the bar /post and possibly could of had 3 or 4 on another day. Also the ref was very bad today he let them get away with far too much imo.

    Beardsleys Boots says:

    The similarities between the spuds and wigan matches are there for all to see.
    Get stuck into us early and we panic and fall apart.
    Once again no leaders on the pitch to galvanise the lads and kick ass.
    Ah well bring on chelski.

    What was Mike Dean smoking? Blowing up for some perfectly good tackles.
    The standard of refereeing has been diabolical this season. This is a young man’s game, played at a young man’s pace, with a young man’s speed of reaction. So why are referees so old, and even overweight in some cases? I’ve never seen that young lass running the line get one wrong yet. She was right on her toes throughout. You never see the old guys looking so alert.

    Newcastle manager Alan Pardew: “We just didn’t match their intensity. Forget shape, systems and so on, intensity is everything in football. For the first two goals we were really lose and disorganised. It was not until half-time that we got back to our level and showed discipline.

    “We were honest in the second half, showed pride and at Chelsea on Wednesday we will show the intensity we’re used to showing and give them a far stronger game. If you were here today you’d have to say we got beat by the better team.”
