ref’s after rising rapidly through the refereeing ranks, he was at Conference

We totally dominated the game on Tuesday, Crewe looked a very poor side, destined for relegation but we had to dig deep and scrap for the three points, it took a bit of quality from James McClean and Callum Lang to break a stubborn defence.
There was once again a lot of consternation with the match officials, poor decisions and some terrible non-decisions left the Latics players, fans and management extremely frustrated, there also appears to be a real problem with time wasting and adding the correct amount of stoppage time on at the end of each half.
We came out of the game with the points though and a a clean sheet too, at this stage of the season it is winning games that matters and we are capable of playing under par and still winning, the sign of a side with a winning mentality and destined for success come the end of the season.
Friday brings the clash of the top two with our trip to Rotherham, both clubs are sitting pretty in the promotion places with not only points in the bag but also games in hand on the chasing pack, a draw wouldn't be a disaster for either and perhaps the result that both camps would accept prior to kick off, it'll be a tough game in front of a sell out crowd.
Up the tics!
