Wigan Athletic (H)

[Tonge moor green jacket]

We have conceded first in the majority of games this season, and managed to come back.

Still haven't won from a losing position though, and we can't keep going behind too regularly. 

Happened too much last season.

 

 

[Rizlar]

Couple of Wigan fans I work with extremely confident of a win after beating Doncaster !

[L/H White]

dreading it

hate everything about this game

despise them with every fibre of my worthless body

[TroySwoosh]

We're playing well but not scoring enough, they're playing well but also getting goals.

Still think we'll beat them by 1 or 2, both teams to score looks like a formality

Would personally keep Erhahon on the bench, red card waiting to happen in a big game like this

[Rizlar]

Need to score first.

How does the Carragher thing feel. Bet you have real mixed loyalties on that mate.

After the last three limp-wristed, deer in headlights, half assed, cowardly home displays against this lot, it'll be a nice change for us to have a pair of bollocks on the pitch. He plays for me.  You can be sure they'll be looking to kick feck out of ADC.

I'm not confident

Not because we've been shit or anything 

We know where we need to improve 

It's just that it's them 

[gonzo]

2-2 this.

Aye.

He was apparently brought in to add some steel.

This is the type of game where its needed.

Can't be welching out of playing him.

If he's that much of a risk, he shouldn't have been brought in.

I feel like I have been saying the same thing about our next game for about 18 months, but winning this one once again could be a real turning point for us. 
 

It would give the fans a massive boost and help build stronger bonds between fans and the newer players and the management with the fans. 
 

Let’s not build them up into some wonderful team either not won away in their last 6.

It has 1-1 written all over it, but if we score first we should be only thinking 3 points.

I fucking hate wigan. I hate the club ,the players ,the stadium,the stupid fucking nick name. I hate the whole fucking thing.

But most of all I hate their fucking fans and the way they are fucking obsessed with everything bolton wanderers. 

The only positive I can think of about their scruffy smelly micro following is that their obsession with us means that at least in their wonky eyes we are  a massive club.

Fuck the tics

Careful of them splinters there matey 😂

It's crying out for Erhahon, Simons, Sheehan this one, with Sheehan the higher of the 3

i agree i think sheehan would be better further up the pitch.

also ide play cyrus christie at right back for a little bit of experience and solidity 

[barrycowdrill]

Think Toal will come back in. ©️ after all and was consciously kept out on Saturday after playing 2 games for N.I

But not sure whether that gives me greater assurance or worry..

I'm not

I just can't forget it's 10-0 to them in the last 3 home games 

Just desperate for a win to shake off the hoodoo 

SS started on that particular issue with the win there last season 

No reason we can't smash them on Saturday 

But with it being them and the way our games are playing out we'll hit the woodwork 8 times and they'll win 1-0 with zero shots on target 

[Lostock Whites]

23,500 already sold.

Bradford had 24,000 at the weekend Vs Huddersfield so ours will possibly be the biggest crowd this whole League 1 season.

Not by just the law of averages and them lot having it their way for far too long now. But I also think Schueys team now will be much more set up for it than the whole of Evatt's reign.

Under Evatt we were so regimented and set in playing a certain way with weak players. This team now is direct with a lot of pace and more physicality.  

Pressure is on us as always, but let that be a kick up the arse for us to get at them.

Added to the fact that he had a tendency to talk not just this game but any ‘Derby’ game down. It very much felt like they saw it as just another game in the grand scheme of a season

whereas they and as history tells us, many other teams, build the games up in order to ring as much as they can out of the players 

derbies are often won by work rate and a pair of bollocks.

Good! We keep 95% of the revenue 😁

But seriously you don't want these games played out with a load of empty seats
