That's a whole lot of chickens! |
Yes indeed, the plot was all too familiar for Hammer’s fans
down the years….
Saturday afternoon at the Boleyn and one side has loads of
possession, lots of intricate passing around midfield, pretty interchanges
abound but all to no avail as they run out losers to two sickeningly efficient
strikes by a focused physically robust side with a determined attitude and
definite game plan.
Except this time we were the Machiavellian victors rather
than the pretty losers. Poor Wigan, lots of ‘nice’ football but all to no avail
and home they headed with nought and facing relegation in the face. Hammers
fans would NEVER be so cruel as to snigger at bigmouth Dave Whelan’s
misfortune, NEVER.
Matt Jarvis opened matters with a ‘silly’ goal against the
run of play where a cross just kept going until it ended up in the Wigan net.
Wigan tried really hard (61% possession for an away side irs pretty remarkable)
but ultimately as they forced things, Hammer’s Captain Kevin Nolan achieved his
100th Premiership career goal with a stunning overhead kick. Game
over.
Oh, and great to see ‘magnificent’ Mark Noble back in the
side. While it has been useful to note that we can cope without you, we are better
for your presence.
