City were clueless, spineless, lacking heart and passion. In short, they were a disgrace to us. Unbelievably, all four goal conceded from corner kicks taken from the same side of the pitch resulting in free, unchallenged, headers around the 6 yard box on an afternoon our defence went missing but they weren't the only ones. It was pathetic and unforgivable.

Rumours persist that Alan Cork may be about to resign or dismissed. Sam Hamman, not at the game, admitted to fans Saturday evening that he has been bombarded with calls and texts to dismiss his manager. All I can say, if true, is "hallelujah" as I cannot take any more of this.

My view for many months is that Alan Cork is not good enough and that with him in charge, City would fail to be promoted or reach the play offs. His supporters kept telling us how City were only 4 points off second with games in hand, then it was the same for the play-offs. League tables don't lie, City are mid-table with only 13 games left and no games in hand. Cardiff may still be 5 points behind the play-off places but have never won more than 2 games in succession and have now lost 5 of the last 9 league games.

Two things were more obvious to me than ever witnessing the afternoon unfold:

(1). It looked too obvious that too many of our players do not want to play for, or respect, Alan Cork or fight for the club at present. They showed it in the 2nd half at Brentford, they proved it again today. That says a lot about Cork but it also says plenty about a group of players he bought, stood by and used whilst totally ignoring the claims of others.

(2). Alan Cork is gutless. He cannot motivate or man manage. If he has little respect from the players, he has none at all from the fans. I watched him sit there with no passion whatsoever for 90 minutes, no wonder he can't fire our players. He sat down the whole of the first half with legs crossed, arms folded, drinking a bottle of water whilst City disintegrated. Second half, apart from a 2 minute discussion with Butterworth (who also sat the whole game doing nothing) and Lawrence (calling the shots with the subs), he stood instead but still motionless with arms crossed. He was a man who knew (or should know) that he cannot take this team any further and there are obviously clear resentments between The Three Stooges (Cork, Butterworth and Lawrence). It didn't work with Atkins, it isn't working with Lawrence either. The answer is longer getting Cork help, it never was, it is about replacing Cork. What must be players be thinking with THREE coaches/managers talking to them before games and at half-time. Enough is enough.

I still feel bitter and angry, I bet our players don't though!

As far as the game goes, it's another to forget. Wigan is 200 miles from Cardiff. Despite fog patches, weekend motorway road works and the usual hold up at the M5/M6 junction, most cars made it in less than 3 hours driving time.

JJB Stadium is magnificent, wasted on the home team's continued small support, but a good model for Sam to replicate or better at Cardiff. It is built with a large retail park and other sports complexes on the same site, there is plenty of car parking and a big stadium with 4 large all seated stands. Cardiff fans occupied one of the pitch length stands complete with plenty of toilets, a bookmaker, bars and excellent catering. The pitch view was excellent, it was just a shame we had to watch the sh*te that we did.

Some of us decided that it wasn't worth rushing to the game, the pub talk was more interesting and the beer was better, we accepted before kick-off that we are going nowhere so why spoil it watching City? So by the time we got to the ground, City were already 1-0 down (annoying Matt Gabb as it was the first goal he has missed in 300 City matches, made us laugh anyway Matt!) and by the time others had been to the toilet first, it was 2-0. All inside the first 15 minutes. Both goals, and the later ones, were from corner kicks and amateur defending.

The opener came after only 75 seconds. A blocked shot was deflected from a corner. It was initially half-cleared but played back by De Zeeuw's head for Wigan's leading scorer, LEE McCULLOCH, left alone to simply nod in from three yards.

City were shocked and not up for it. Wigan had snap and fight and wanted it far more. That's what hurt most, too may went missing for us yet again. Cardiff created a couple of half chances but nothing to cause more than a mild flutter before the 2nd goal arrived on the quarter hour which, if anything, was even worse.

Kennedy hit an inswinger across the area, City had plenty bodies around but none who bothered as they allowed De VOS to jump under no pressure whatsoever and plant a downward free header past Neil Alexander.

The rest of the half fell into farce as anger took over on and off the pitch. Chants of, "We want Corkie Out" were already starting, City fans were arguing amongst themselves, team mates clearly arguing and showing their dissent with each other every time play stopped.

In some spells, Cardiff looked as though they could fight back as Wigan never looked too clever or comfortable defensively and you felt that a City goal could change the game but it was a one way contest on the whole. We never really created a clear cut chance though while Wigan tore us open and apart every time they got near our goal and had the chances to have made it 4-0 or even worse.

Teale broke clear from a simple ball behind the defence and looked to have scored as he swept a shot across goal, the outstretched boot of Alexander just pushed it wide for a corner. Another effort of his sailed past the opposite post.

Danny Gabbidon seems to have allowed his recent deserved plaudits and Welsh call up go to his head as he had an appalling second half at Brentford and was even worse today. He was in a daydream. Teale has his third clear cut chance as he far too easily robbed the ball off Gabbidon, the last man, and ran to goal. His shot just inside the area flashed a couple of inches wide, Neil Alexander stood motionless nothing he could do nothing if it had been on target.

Frustrations spilled just before half-time as Mark Bonner and Willie Boland were booked within seconds of each other for silly challenges. Somehow you could understand why. Josh Low did nothing whatsoever, in fact, it's hard to remember that he was even on the pitch. Graham Kavanagh pushed up and it left Bonner and Boland totally exposed and outnumbered in midfield. Captain Kavanagh showed real patience today. He took almost 70 minutes, longer than usual, to collect another needless yellow card for a stupid challenge, his 11th in his last 29 appearances and 4th in the last 7 games.

The team were booed off by those still bothering to watch the game at half-time, a hefty number of the support had already drifted to the bar which had opened 10 minutes early, Wigan stadium managers realising our performance was enough to turn any City fan to drink.

Half-time: WIGAN 2 CITY 0

The start of the second period was more notable for the appearance of Lennie Lawrence at the dugout and discussions between Cork, Butterworth and himself. It was obvious changes were about to be made and Lawrence was making them (so why don't we have him in charge anyway?). It was the only time we saw movement on the bench but I still can't understand why they didn't make them at half-time rather than discuss it as soon as the half started.

The flaw in not doing that was proved as, in the time, it took for Spencer Prior to be allowed on, City were 3-0 behind on 52 minutes, dead and buried. Unbelievably it was a near replica of the 2nd goal, a corner to the far post, De VOS was allowed to jump unchallenged inside the 6 yard box and bury a free header wide of a disbelieving static Alexander.

The fans had now totally lost their patience with the display and vented their fury on Cork and the players, very few were above criticism. The loudest chant was "we want Corky Out" but there were plenty of other chants directed towards the City side, most of them chants we usually direct at other sides but more appropriate for our own side today. They included "Cheer Up Alan Cork", "You're worse than Swansea City", "we're so **** it's unbelievable" but it was Cork getting the worst of the flak, by far.

Prior replaced Gabbidon (an ever present for City this season, that was the first time that he failed to finish a game) and Paul Brayson came on for the totally ineffective Josh Low (Low again made no contribution in a backs to the wall game), he hasn't the attitude or mentality for it.

Wigan had a couple more chances, this time running through City but efforts were blocked before they decided that they didn't need to push on and just make sure they secured the points. The stats will therefore show an equal number of shots, in fact the Wigan keeper won their sponsors man of the match, but we provided no threat until this stage and the game was lone gone.

City fought and passed better. Kavanagh was close with one of his trademark free-kicks, Peter Thorne brought a brilliant one handed John Filan save from a far post header probably bettered by a tip over from an Andy Legg 20 yard volley destined for the opposite top corner of goal. Then Wigan broke down the City end, won another corner and made it 4-0 to give City their worst loss since a 4-0 home defeat by Cambridge in April 2000, long before Sam and this group of expensive players were on the scene.

It was embarrassingly simple. A corner on the right was whipped in, flicked on at the near post as De ZEEUW had the simple task of nodding home with nobody to stop him.

The chants and anger got worse. Chants of "we want Corkie out" and "you're not fir to wear the shirts" got louder and louder with the occasional "we want 5" too. Very few fans failed to shout out abuse, frustrations had boiled over and the mood was very ugly. All this against a Wigan team who have given up any hopes of promotion and whose fans admitted to us that they hoped to lose to heap pressure on Paul Jewell who is unpopular there.

There was a flashpoint too as Rhys Weston stupidly reacted to City fans and had a go back at them, he lost a lot of respect for that and was booed for several minutes when he touched the ball afterwards. Peter Thorne was removed on 78 minutes obviously to rest him after his first full start in 10 weeks, the crowd reacting to the sight of James Collins as a striker with chants of "we might as well go home".

The game ended with City attacking but who cared? Brayson put an effort wide, Legg was closer, Collins had shots blocked, Filan made a couple more saves, we couldn't even get a consolation.

The highlight of the closing stages, and maybe the whole game too for us, was Simon Haworth coming on as a late sub for Wigan and immediately responding to requests to "do the ayatollah" which he did several times. City fans loved it and chanted "Haworth is a Bluebird", the Wigan support were furious and gave him abuse.

But it also highlighted a fatal Cork mistake in the last few weeks. Cork doesn't rate Haworth and won't have him at Cardiff City so forget any thoughts of it. Yet, he rates James Collins as a striker. I give up! Due to current injuries, he has also has been forced to use Jason Bowen in attack. It has had some success but at the expense of Bowen's badly needed creativity in midfield and going wide. He undoubtedly should have bought Haworth for a bargain £150,000 or have secured someone else, permanently or on loan. His failure to do anything has cost us badly. Thanks Alan!

The agony continued as the referee found 4 minutes of injury time, we wanted it cancelled. One small consolation to keep us going was that Stoke lost there by a greater margin so could we hold out? Final whistle and more boos, more chants of "Corky Out" and a barrage of abuse. Most of our shamed players ran straight off, only Neil Alexander, Spencer Prior (unluckily booked too) and Jason Bowen having the bottle to face us. They had no reason to hide and at least bothered to acknowledge us.

We are going nowhere unless we rid ourselves of our likeable but mumbling, clueless, incompetent manager. It's probably too late to save this season but it must be done. Bury at home on Tuesday is now nothing more than the start of a 2 month, 13 game long end of season "party". Try and enjoy it folks and prepare for next season, please do not waste your or my time by mentioning the words "promotion" or "play offs" anymore this term. If Cork survives this shambles, please learn the phrases, "mid-table obscurity", "cannon fodder" and "also rans".

Let's hope Sam prepares now by putting a more able man in charge of the team, not simply someone who is there because he's a puppet who can easily be manipulated. We must have the right and crucial decisions made so that we do not embarrass ourselves again next season is what is likely to be an even weaker Division Two. The players and the fans deserve more, and better, than that.

It must have gutted all of the 700 or so support to know how hard we work to earn the £40 or so it cost for the day out and give up half of our weekend to be kicked in the faces by a group of players and managers earning £2,000 - £7,000 per week (without bonuses!). The only ones who have deserved paying by Cardiff City this week are those fans who travelled to Brentford and Wigan, nobody else.

We didn't need more misery but the fog dropped and was horrendous at times coming home, making most journeys an hour longer as a result. Another day to instantly forget but don't allow it to happen until this club sorts itself out.

The giant centre back took full advantage of the Welsh sides total inability to defend set pieces with a goal in each half to ease the home sides fears of being dragged into the second division relegation dogfight.

De Vos was joined in the goalscoring stakes by fellow centre back Arjan De Zeeuw and striker Lee McCulloch, who all bagged goals from corners.

The rout began after only 78 seconds with Wigans first corner of the game. Northern Ireland international Peter Kennedy swung over the kick and De Zeeuw headed on for McCulloch to flick home from close range.

That set the tone for the afternoon with a jittery Cardiff three man rear guard struggling to cope with the pace of McCulloch and Gary Teale.

But it was at set pieces that Cardiff were all at sea and after 17 minutes they once again collapsed to let the home side in for a second goal.

Again, a Kennedy corner was inch perfect and Cardiff found to their cost that if you leave 6ft 4in defenders unmarked 6 yards from goal, you pay the price as De Vos headed home.

And the duo of De Vos and De Zeeuw were also in command at the other end as the threat from Cardiff's lively strikers Peter Thorne and Jason Bowen never materialised.

The visitors created little in a one-sided first half and it was much the same pattern after the break.

The home side added a third goal six minutes into the second half when De Vos again rose and challenged to head home a Kennedy corner.

De Zeeuw deservedly got on the scoresheet with Wigans fourth after 67 minutes, yet again heading home a Kennedy corner but in the meantime Wigan keeper John Filan had produced two brilliant saves to deny Graham Kavanagh and Andy Legg, but it was Wigan's day.

The Cardiff fans showed their displeasure by calling for the head of manager Alan Cork and chanting: "You're not fit to wear the shirts".

And chairman Sam Hamman, who was actually named to sit on the Cardiff bench for the game, has some serious thinking to do.
