Sheridan slams performance
Leon Constantine made his debut but he was not match fit, lacked passion and generally let himself and his new team-mates down. The debut promised so much yet delivered so little. John Sheridan told Latics World, "I was very disappointed with the goal because beforehand we had a chance to switch the play, which we tell the players to do. We didn't do it and then played the offside trap when there's no pressure on the ball, which we shouldn't be doing. It was a very frustrating game of little quality and I'm tired of saying that. We've not played well for three or four games and the standard of football is not good enough for my liking. People are doing things on the pitch that they think are right, but I'm telling you now they're not right and that's what cost us the game."
"The ball is the most important thing and if you don't take care of it you'll get found out. We're getting found out at the moment over the last few games, and that includes last Saturdays. I know we've won one or two games but I'm not happy with the way we're playing. Now myself and the players will have to work very hard because the performances we're producing at the moment won't get us anywhere."
