Felt really sorry for Omar watching tonight's game. He did have a couple of good touche and send calm and relaxed but he was left totally isolated playing the lone striker role. The one time there was even a sniff of service their left winger totally ignored him when Omar was in acres of space in the box and would have been on his favored left foot, he instead chose to cross to the only other Wigan player in the box who happened to be surrounded by three Sheff Wednesday defenders!

I think he'll come good as he clearly doesn't feel overawed or out of place but he will need another striker or high playing No 10 to play your off if he's to start scoring regularly.

I thought Omar looked lively and when on the ball (which wasn't very often due to his team mates not playing to him) looked good with his touch.

But same as for Griggs for the first 65 minutes, no service.

Wigan pitch surface dreadful as usual - think he will prefer playing away if picked.

All down to Warren Joyce - if he continues to play a formation that doesn't score goals  - then you never know - we could see him again (against Town) next season in League 1.

I still don't get why you'd take a striker off and continue to play one upfront when you're losing 1-0 at home ... And all this bullshit abput Grigg not being able to play upfront in a pair? Whatever. He's paid enough money he should be able to play anywhere on the pitch whether he's alone or in a pair. Bad call by the manager for me and I'd be annoyed if I was a Wigan fan. Sheffield W looked average at best second half and Wigan had them on the back foot,  only thing missing was a second striker / outlet

Like others, I think omar did as good as he could have, when you consider how unplayable the tactic was for a striker. No one within 30 meters half the time. He just needs to make sure he sticks to the position, because a few times he came deep looking for the ball, and they had no one up there at all.

thats the key with Omar....if he doesnt get the service then he comes looking for it, not a bad trait as such but when you are the lone man then that leaves the team with no outlet and as a team you just get deeper..deeper...putting pressure on yourself....he has to remain disciplined and play as a striker....
last night he looked like the new kid...none of his team mates passed to him unless they really had to....will take him a few games to settle into their patterns but with service and support like that i cant see him bagging loads of goals.

I thought he was trying hard to get into good positions, playing on the shoulder of the last man but his team mates failed to find him. They were taking far too many passes in the final third. He looked ok to me. Good luck Omar
