wendyredredrobin Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 Much I guess depends on the fitness of Korey Smith and Andi Weimann, but I wouldn't want to change a team that has gained 6 points from the last 2 big, big games. We need to keep the momentum going. Do we have a fit goalkeeper yet or will Max keep his place. Who do you think will replace Andi or Korey if they can't play? I guess Pato could fill in for Andi, but Korey being out mightresult in a change of formation. 3 points on Saturday would be fantastic, especially as all of our rivals are away from home and don't have particularly easy games.

nickolas Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 Got to be. Width, central midfield control with 3 in there........and 2 strikers which we all know helps Diedhiou perform better! 451 it is then...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingswoodactor Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 Carry on with the 3-5-2 for sure. If Weimann isn't fit I'd put Taylor up there with Fam, as the snake's movement will pull Wigan's backline all over the shop. Would like to have Smith & Pack in the middle so that Brownhill can push forward more like he did up at Sheffield Utd, as he could then exploit that space getting some shots off. Dasilva and Hunt to provide the ammo from wingback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 Apologies if it's already been covered elsewhere, but Pack definitely available then? There was speculation on this site that 10 bookings may have meant a ban- but does the cutoff date mean he isn't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angmering Red Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 I am usually in the don't change a winning team unless you have to camp, but LJ will be aware that we have embarked on a 5 games in 15 days run, and after 2 tough away games he has to think about WBA and Villa as well as Wigan. Not an easy choice to make. Will be interesting to see the teamsheet on Saturday, from both a personnel and formation point of view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree we should have two up front definitely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 LJ will know who’s fit to play and have all the stats and analysis of Wigan’s away performances. He’ll select a formation and team according to that info and as we fans aren’t privy to said info all we can do speculate on what the team will be..........

Hunt and Da Silva- more like wingbacks than defenders really- would definitely see it as more of a 3-5-2/3-4-2-1 than 5 at the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will create extra space on the pitch which we can exploit, and as @mozo mentions, it has the added benefit of resting players for the WBA game.

Admin phantom Posted April 4, 2019 Admin Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 To me Korey is our key player at the moment, clear to see the improvement in the last two games when he was on the pitch Looking at that I can't see that we can get three games out of him over the next week. To me I think we will rest him Saturday and keep him back for WBA and also Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also you put Hunt at LB and Da Silva at RB, and a formation we haven't started with this season, so doubt you'll be right. You made a mess out of that considering it's "easy to work out".

It’s a bog standard frame of 4-4-2 which as we all know is easy to change formation by simply moved one player. For example, move Dasilva up to wing back and you have a 3-5-2.....

And moving Dasilva up to LWB would leave us either playing with Hunt as a CB and no recognised RWB, or Hunt at RWB and only two CBs. Must try harder @Robbored.
