A Quickfire double in the first 10 minutes and resolute defending

Off the back of the first win of the season there were big questions to decide, a back 3 or or back 4 to start and the injury doubt hatrick hero not pulling through the team stuck with there 3-5-2.

The entire team started with an incredible high intensity. Marking up, pinning the opposition back in there half. Within a flash a pete dann shot on target flew in off a defenders stick.

Wigan started to get in the game but a long ball out to tim on the half way line in left mid hit a wonderful ball to the on-rushing Sagar with his lightning speed. Bets were was going to be a 16 or out for a sideline ball after the shot... The doubters shouldn't have worried as it nestled into the left side of the goal after the 1v1.

As the first half wore on it was definitely Wigan with the upper hand with Didsbury continuing to lose shape and struggle on 16s ; great defending from the centre backs. High balls from the opposition , hitting JDs knee and then 5 mins later in a Wigan attack hit off mark's knee cuing stares directly at the umpire and asking, a 3 vs 2 as the lack of shape finally catching us out.

At HT a revert to 4-5-1. Didsbury were much more resolute understanding the formation al. Motm luke getting hit in the face, hit in the hand, Jacques making great saves,Rob man marking wigans left handed danger and Tom with epic running and tackling. Some brilliant counter attack chances with blistering pace from sagar and rob and the midfield 2 of jandy and jd keeping everyone in check.
