Anyone else who doesn't think Morgue is any good?
They have a very good 17, not sure they have that much after that and no youth players to call on. Players like Brown, Richardson and Kersahw are very average players.
Since Peters arrived, rovers have brought in players for specific purposes (physical, high-intensity energy) to fit into a structured game-plan, and Morgue doesn't seem a right fit for what he has built over the past couple of years.
I suppose he could give them something different, he certainly can produce jack-in-a-box moments when he's on fire, but he doesn't look like a Peters-type player to me.
Must admit Morgue did seem an odd choice for them when they made a play for him and still does now they’ve moved him in earlier.
Be interesting to see how well they’ll cope if they’ve picked up some longer term injuries as they’ve previously managed to avoid it. Sue’s looked a nasty one, possibly hyperextended elbow.
Thought Wigan stuck at it and stayed in the arm wrestle and took their chances in the 2nd half which proved crucial. Didn’t think Rovers troubled Wigan too much in 2nd half and lost direction and looked rattled.
