I would have posted a comment there, but the entry form is playing up - keeps giving me 'wrong password' messages and the like. I shall post my retort here, until such point I can copy/paste it over to the appropriate post. ;) With regards to Jensen, he made a couple of good saves before he went off injured. The harsh might say he ought to have saved them, and maybe so, but would he have done better than the Peruvian lad on the other two goals? Guess we'll never know. Nice banner, I'll look to get that on my blog somewhere. Do you have any more? :) I do think a bit of luck went a long way on Saturday. We've been on a bit of a roll as far as luck's concerned, at least in the last month. Nice review.

After seeing it on MOTD, there's no way Hugo would have known the guy was injured when he slotted the ball away. If Jensen collapsed before coming to collect the ball, maybe it would have been a different story... still reckon he would have put the ball in the net. You’re right.

I agree that the performance wasn't all it could have been, but over the 90 minutes I think Latics deserved what they got, in points and goals. In fact it looked at one stage, shortly after the second goal, that it looked as if the floodgates might open.

I'd say that's a triumph :D Looks like fifth of six on MOTD. I’d say that’s a triumph :D
