And thanks to Bruno having to be replaced we are short of a sub option up front to play alongside Barnes.

Really feel for Barnes - he's set up some good play. Completely isolated. Tries to close down. Ulloa would do no better with this kind of supply.

why the fvuk is Barnes even on the pitch

Because he scored 2 in a 3-0 win in the last game?

That said we do look lightweight and paceless up front and need to change it. But Barnes pretty much had to start after last time out,

Not scrappy at all we are being totally dominated, the Wigan commentators stating we have no options in attack, why the fvuk is Barnes even on the pitch
We are playing away , Wigan haven't lost at home so far this season. Both sides are cancelling each other out.

Neither Ash not Leroy are lone strikers. Would expect them both on near the end of the game. Keep it tight and snatch one near the end.

Not a bad half except; Ince gives the ball away alot; I don't like that midfield 3 and we're too deep so AB is getting isolated. Other than that it was quite good all things considered.

Get Barnes off ffs

And put who on in his place? :facepalm:

Edit: Oh yeah, we can stick Lita on to play as the battering ram: knocking balls off to non-existent support & forging a match-winning partnership with himself...

He`s out of his depth in this division can you not see that

Nope and neither did Gus and Oscar seems to have him down as a decent player too.
