The Official Wigan Athletic v Bristol City Match Day Thread

[Red Army 75]

Like the team. But I was right about COD in his thread. Bryan has been poor lately. Let's hope he does well today. COYR

[BCFC Grim]

Looks like two up top. That said it didn't take him long to stick Taylor on the left against Fulham.

[MC RISK77]

Why the **** is flint still ahead of Magnusson in the pecking order

[JoeAman08]

I know people will slate it because LJ is the one who made it but it's about as attacking as we can get. Harsh on O'Dowda but obviously wanted to fit Tomlin in the side. The one thing I fear is Joe Bryan. Not a good defender and won't  get help from Tomlin who will be out left assuming 442. 

I think it's a must win if we are serious about staying up and looks as if the staff think that as well. I want to stay in the division so I hope this is when LJ turns it around.

Actually think this is good! Two up top finally! Hopefully Joe Bryan actually shows up! 

This always makes me laugh.

How many times have we said this in the last five months.

[Tears in rain]

Smith playing RB 

odowda unlucky to be dropped and proving that LJ tombola is a real thing 

[Slack Bladder]

Last time we started with TNT up front we were 3 nil up at half time.

Why so many changes from second half Tuesday 

 

It's what came out of the tombola....

O'dowda should be starting imo and maggs for Bryan.

I don't really see Mags as a LB but in this lineup I'd agree. I'm assuming 442 with Tomlin on the left. Would be good to have a natural defender behind him.

No no no didn't you hear what junior said . Mags can't play left back , even though he plays there for Iceland 

[UREDS_91]

Like the thought of Smith at right back. Played there before. Better than Vyner imo. Djuric has got to be injured otherwise I don't know what he's got to do to get in that squad!

In everyone's opinion, CB!

Where do you reckon he's playing Korey in that line up? As Toyah would lisp: "Itth a mythtory!"

Fair shout that

[samo II]

O'Dowda dropped for Tomlin.

Korey Smith at right back.

Djuric not in the squad.

 

[Tears in rain]

Least there's two up front this week

Small bonus maybe? 

[CotswoldRed]

Ch-ch-ch-changes. As always.

That's his natural game Grim. He drifts to the left flank

You are so ITK

[Pound Lane Red]

Careening  towards Wigan  on the 1200 ex Glasgow. A bit of excitement at the team sheet.  hope it's a sing song today. Train - Thatchers Gold and a thrashing. Either way , as long as there is plenty of goals. 

COYR

[winterbournered]

People can't moan about LJ not going for it today with that line-up. Very brave if you ask me. 

No doubt if it doesn't work the same people will be moaning about being too gung-ho.

I've been told that as well , by the internet

If that's 442 then tomlin is in front of joe  at least we won't be open down that flank  mind you it's shit or bust time now. 

Got to be 4-3-1-2 
At least he didn't go big man with no wingers. or wingers with no target man as he has done. Not sure I like Wilbs the only striking option on the bench.

Again he shows his garbled thinking though. Praise Djuric , then drop him. Odowda highly praised for Tuesday, dropped and a must win game start a recently injured striker and have only one replacement on the bench !! 
Before I get shouted at I should say natural striker on the bench.

[Slack Bladder]

Well, it's not going to be nil nil, just got to score more than them. COYR.

 

[BRISTOL86]

Nice to see us going for it from the off. We aren't going to draw our way out of the bottom 3 so shit or bust.

Bizarre team selection.

Still just comes across as a manger desperately looking for a line up that will work.

Have we ever played this back four before? Djuric not even on the bench? Assume they have seen Tammy and he is 100%, but might have started Djuric and Taylor, with Tammy on bench if anything less.

If the team have a blind clue as to what their roles are, should be goals in it. If.

I'm hoping it's 4-3-1-2 been thinking this would work since January maybe before! 

Mind you even if it is need a result to feel confident about it..

Is Djuric injured? If not then WTF

I agree maybe Abraham should have started on the bench, perhaps he was caught by the BS stasse reading unauthorised material?.
