BLUES 0 WIGAN 1

I thought the 4-1 defeat against QPR a couple of weeks back was bad. Tonight’s performance was on a par. Maybe not the same convincing scoreline. On paper anyway.

In truth, Wigan’s 1-0 lead was never slender. It was the most comfortable solitary goal victory you’re likely to see in the Championship.

Courtesy of a Dan Burn goal, the visitors came, sat in and frustrated Blues who had absolutely no answers. The fluency of the Leeeds defeat evaporated – Gianfranco Zola’s men struggled to string three passes together.

The Italian made his changes at half time but looked on cluelessly as Blues squandered possession time and time again.

Zola has led Blues down the path to a relegation dogfight. We keep hearing ‘it’ll come good’ but it never does. Zola has tried, and I thank him for his efforts. Sadly, his efforts have failed.

Time for a change.
