I was unable to travel to Wigan for this game and, having read reports from those who did on Boing Boing, I feel relieved.

I think the less said about this game the better. Megson fielded a second-string side, mainly the reserve first team plus Koumas, Siggy and Hughes, and they were downright awful.

And Megson's only positive comment was that it proved he was playing the correct first eleven - so where does that leave Siggy, Koumas, Marshall, Wallwork, Clement, Dobie, Dichio, James Chambers and Hughes who have all featured in the first team and played some part at Wigan?
