Same as last week for me Wintle behind Ralls and Rinomhota are very effective at holding the midfield but without the fullbacks overlapping we had no options. Thought the front three were pretty poor and offered nothing. We need a genuine wide forward as O'Dowda is really a midfielder and Harris is great at working hard but doesn't go beyond anyone.
Holliet,Zohore and NML were a front three. O'Dowda, Robinson, Harris won't scare many.
Anyway Ralls again, set the tone and is coming back into form

Ralls for me

Ralls is seriously holding us back in our quest to be a more footballing side it is painful sometimes watching him opt got easy balls

For once I agree with you, this fascination for Ralls baffles me

Ralls and Wintle were decent yesterday but I voted for Kipre.
The guy oozes class.

I'll explain my reasoning for believing Ralls is a very good player at this level.
We are a championship club playing against championship players. The one thing you can't be in the championship is a soft touch. There is a footballing groupthink on how the game should be played especially in the championship with the new breed of coaches/managers, all doing the same thing. This is why a "dinosaur" like Warnock has his own way, the team that wins games generally makes fewer mistakes, and the closer to your goal you make the mistake the more likely you are to concede.
Wintles is our first genuine defensive midfielder there to protect the back four but also keeps the ball ticking over. Ralls and Rimonhota are there to steal the ball and stop the opposition from playing and get the ball to one of our attacking talents. Whether that is a simple lob over their full back or knocking it into a target man then so be it. I think that unit generally win its battle, defensively we are very suspect and upfront there are very few options except Robinson who is not clinical but gets in good positions.
Our goals from Wigan came from Nkounkou breaking lines and causing chaos, yesterday both fullbacks rarely traveled forward.
I think we are a very functional and systematic squad with very little flair or anyone with the x factor, Joe Ralls exemplifies that as he is very good at playing in this squad. Hopefully, Colwell and Davies increase that metric.
Championship footballers would be in the premier league if they could pick a key pass and win the ball, the reason they are in the EFL is they can't do both. Sawyers has been my biggest disappointment because i thought he could win the ball as he is classy on it but he can't.
I have never bought into this "progressive" stuff, its a fantasy. Winning is fun though.

Weird how we all see game’s differently. I thought Kipre was ok but by his standards I thought it was one of those games in which he struggled a bit against that Swedish forward who was a right handful.

The referee was my man of the match - nobody had the same impact.
Cheating, useless so and so he was.

Your right it certainly was this best game but I thought nobody shined yesterday. Nobody stood out for us but Kipre did well and always looks good on the ball.
