New tactics = new perfomance. Wigan matches of October and November (FM 2008).

After the weak start I changed tactics of Wigan totally. 4-4-1-1 was replaced on 5-2-1-2 with two fullbacks covering the whole flanks. Then I began to tune new tactics scheme trying different individual settings and different players on positions (I will describe my new tactics in one of the next post). As a result I'm glad with the performance of my at the moment. In October and November we had row of the following matches in the Premier League:

There is only one annoying match with Portsmouth where we could do nothing to resist with dignity. The performance in the other games was very keen. Though in half of matches we suffered a lack of class for gaining a needed result. For example, Arsenal - Wigan after the first half - 1:2 and than 4:2 in the end. By the way it was very principal match for me (as for the former manager of Arsenal) :)

Another example of game lost on class is Bolton - Wigan. We could win there but again got a ball in the net on the last minutes. Lack of concentration? May be... We'll see... Anyway you can believe that playing style of the current Wigan looks very well! Nevertheless our place in the Premier League table is a bit sad:

But having already played games with grand clubs like Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester I'm sure we will get good pack of points on the weaker opponents in upcoming fixtures. If I don't get those points I will be sacked as manager of Wigan:

You see the board confidence is of poor opinion about Wigan's progress in the competitions. And I understand them, especially recalling that I set official goal to achieve middle table position during the first season.
