RESERVE REPORT: WIGAN ATHLETIC 2 CHELSEA 2
Posted on: Tue 10 Apr 2012
The second string's final away game of the season ended all square after
Chelsea took the lead having conceded the first goal, but let the win slip
inside the final 10 minutes.
The goals were divided evenly between the halves although the second 45
minutes were far more lively than the first. Adam Phillip, starting just
his second reserve game of the season as he returns from injury, equalised
Wigan's opener before Patrick Bamford netted his fourth goal in six
reserve appearances to put Chelsea ahead shortly after the interval.
In a game played in an athletics arena next door to the DW Stadium, Wigan
finished strongly and will feel the late equaliser reflected the balance
of the game.
== Team news ==
With members of the team that played at Wolves last week now preparing for
Friday's FA Youth Cup semi-final, Dermot Drummy brought Alistair Gordon
(pictured) in at right-back, Anjur Osmanovic in to play the 'no. 10' role
and make his reserve team debut, while in the wide attacking positions
were Tom Howard and Adam Phillip, continuing his comeback from injury and
making his second reserve start of the season.
== First half ==
Billy Clifford, playing as one of the two deeper midfielders, had an early
shot off-target but Wigan managed to work the ball wide throughout the
half and James Russell had to save with his legs from Ryan Watson who had
cut in from the wing, before Rakish Bingham shot over.
Russell in the Chelsea goal dirtied his gloves on 16 minutes, saving a
well-struck free-kick from distance before Wigan, marginally on top by
this stage, forced a corner when George Saville cleared over his own bar
but the home side wasted the set-piece.
The Latics' second string put together the most incisive move so far
midway through the half when their left-back Adam Buxton took a return
pass inside the Chelsea area but was dispossessed by a superbly timed
challenged by right-back Gordon.
Rohan Ince then rose high to head away a cross soon after but when the
ball reached Wigan midfielder Tim Chow on the edge of the area, he hit a
fine volley into the top corner of the Chelsea net, giving Russell no
chance. There were 27 minutes played.
The setback brought Chelsea, who had previously shown little sign of
threatening the home side's net, to life and we went straight up the other
end and equalised, Phillip in the right place to score from close range
after Bamford pulled the ball back from wide.
There was more drive to the Chelsea display for the rest of the half but
there was an escape five minutes before the whistle after Conor Clifford
gave the ball away deep in our half. Fortunately Chow, who already scored
with a perfect strike, got his shot all wrong this time.
Bamford then had a chance when the ball broke fortuitously his way as the
other end but needing to react quickly, he sliced a high-bouncing ball
over.
== Second half ==
If the start to the first half had been uneventful, the second was
anything but. Dermot Drummy made a switch during the interval, bringing on
Ismail Seremba for Tom Howard on the right wing and the sub was involved
inside the Wigan area almost immediately, but it was Bamford who scored
with just three minutes gone.
It was a fine goal too from the January signing, playing a second game in
a row in his preferred centre-forward position. He turned his marker and
then raced through a gap in the centre of the Wigan defence before
finishing expertly, high to the keeper's right.
Yet again, the other side almost went straight down the other end and
equalised but this time, when Callum Morris looped a ball high towards the
target, Gordon managed to race back to back-head off the Chelsea line, his
second piece of potentially goal-saving defending.
The home team later contrived to miss a guilt-edge chance when Ryan Watson
opted to nod a cross down with the goal gaping and his fellow striker
Bingham blasted wide.
On 65 minutes, Wigan went close again but first the leg of Russell kept
the ball out and a follow-up shot by Bingham was blocked.
Chelsea were not far away soon after when Seremba drilled a shot just wide
from a cross as the lively half continued, but the home side were
continuing to apply pressure and with nine minutes left of the clock, they
equalised.
A free-kick was initially fired into the wall but the rebound was played
back in to the danger zone and Callum Morris found the net.
Chelsea created one more chance before the end, Bamford backheeling to
substitute Sam Bangura who returned the ball. Bamford's shot was low and
hard but Calvin Hare in the Wigan goal did very well to save.
In stoppage time it needed James Russell at full-stretch to prevent
Wigan's Steven Bootham from snatching all three points.
'I am pleased with the lads endeavour and the football we tried to play
first half,' said reserve team manager Dermot Drummy.
'The second half Wigan pressed us and the football wasn't conducive to the
way we want to play, but we had some first years here who are probably not
going to make the Youth Cup squad and their attitude was fantastic, and
with our senior players as wellwe had Adam Phillip coming back from a long
injury and he gave us a good hour, it was a great goal from him after a
great run from Patrick Bamford, and a great finish by Patrick for the
second goal.'
'We could have nicked it at the end and I can't fault the spirit. There
are always things to work on but I am generally pleased.'
