Great chance to right some wrongs from previous years. 

Bolton 3 Wigan 0 😊

Anything can happen in a derby match. We are the better team. Any win will do

Any type of win please.

2-1 we'll shit um

Just stuff the bastards. 
Please. 

Our perfect start to the session won't last forever 

But it better not be these cunts that ruin it

We've had an excellent start, they've had a good start as well.

We should win this, won't be easy. Can't help but think these scruffy no marks will somehow ruin the party though.

Any type of win, fingers crossed.

3-2

They’ve revelled in our recent games so any win will do. 
 

if it isn’t a convincing one they will also take great comfort from that too so being overly greedy a commanding one where we look a different level and reality dawns for them 

Any type of victory, can't see it being anywhere near as comfortable as the opening 3 games. They'll make it difficult but good to see Baxter tested last night (and have a very good game) ahead of this one, as think Wigan will cause more problems than Fleetwood did last night.

Reckon Nlundulu comes in for Charles, maybe Morley for Thomason?

Sunderland type victory incoming.

Horrible feeling about this.

3-0 to the Super Whites.

Keep them in the minus figures. That'll do nicely.

There’s games where you need a performance to send a message to other teams and to build confidence in the players. There’s games when you just need the 3 points, even if it’s an own goal off the keeper’s arse.

With Charles and Evatt missing, this is most definitely the latter.

2-0, Vic with both

id expect sheehan back for thomasson

hopefully dempsey is ok

Not sure what Wigan's style is.

Are they another physical group, or do they try and play?

If Evatt is happy to use the squad in response to a specific need, then he may resort to initial selection in midfield, or even a different group.

I can’t say I don’t feel a little trepidation for this one because although we had a good ad deserved win last night, Fleetwood to be fair played well and had some good chances they missed and which I think the likes of Wyke may not have. Despite that the way we’re playing as a team at the moment is super impressive so I’m hoping that the loss of Dion won’t affect us too much. I think we’ll win this but narrowly with a few finger nails chewed.

Wigan, Rotherham & Sheffield Wednesday in recent years have come to us and rolled us with ease, doesn’t have to be pretty but let’s make sure them games don’t happen again

2-0

The style is different.  We try to play the ball on the floor and out from the back which makes Dions absence important as what I've seen of him he harries the defence.  Like I said previously for the first time in years we have no shithouse player ( and I don't mean James McClean) so that worries me a bit. Our young lads seem really good players but just hope they don't wilt under pressure but will play around you if you stand off. Played Carlisle off the park last night for a hour but made a bad mistake and got punished, which is sometimes how it goes when you're still learning your trade. We will miss Aasgaard. 

 

Overall it will be close but you are playing well but if you don't score early doors it could get interesting. Depends who turns up on the day, could be you , could be us, could be both, could be neither.

1-1

Please just beat these lot for once, we’re overdue

Even with 3 wins in a row I have a bad feeling about this one. Any win please, but I think it'll be a 1-1 draw.

Wigan struggled to beat Northampton at home and drew at Carlisle. We should be winning this playing the way we are. Fleetwood might have looked half decent going forward but they couldn't deal with us at the back, hopefully Wigan will have the same difficulties. 

I have no fucking idea, a lot has changed since that horrendous game back at our place.

At theirs the same year we more than deserved our point.

We're a different kind of animal than back then, as are they for worse. But in Derby games like this anything can happen.

I do trust our quality and footballing ability, I think we will have too much for them, but it will be tight.

Probably 2-1, in front of a possible 25,000+ crowd! 

 

A 3-1 victory.    Big vic, Dempsey and randell high.
