Wigan Athletic away match day thread

[cidercity1987]

Happy to see Weimann back in his best position imo just behind the strike force

Interested to see how Conway goes, he looked a bit lost when he came on against Sunderland I thought

Come On You Reds!!!

Sykes was really good on opening day, not so good last week.  Competition for places is building.  I would pick Wilson today, but its also short turnaround from Wednesday, so that could have a bearing.  I'm happy with the eleven...I always am...its how they perform that matters.

Pretty standard:

Amos

Darikwa Kerr Whatmough Bennett

            Power Naylor

Lang                           McLean

               Keane

                 Magennis

I see their new striker loan signing from Everton is on their bench............just hope he is not as good as last week's Everton loanee...Simms?

Holden or Johnson would be absolutely slaughtered on OTIB for signing two full backs, leaving them both on the bench and playing someone out of position.

I heard someone had nicked his comb and he's gone off on one but it could be all of the above as well.

Perhaps it could also be that both Nige and SL have pretty much had enough of a player running down his contract despite every effort to prevent this and maybe Nige feels that he'd prefer to pick players who want to play for BCFC as opposed to ones who don't and dont give enough on the pitch as a result.

Just because he doesn’t want to sign a contract doesn’t mean he doesn’t want to play for us

That's a shame I hoped there was another reason for his absence

The free version of Proton VPN is good and takes minimal time to download.

Assuming yer dad doesn't mind paying £10 to Robins TV.

(not that I would do such a thing of course).

Glad you mentioned the OTIB subscription, I’ve paid up for years and encouraged others to do so………..then looked and saw mine had expired!

I thought we used to have a reminder to renew, if I did get one I missed it somehow.

Anyway, sorted now.

Same here, would be good to get a notification if possible, have now renewed

Yes. The ever wonderfully named Max Power.

This cannot be the first time you've heard his delightful moniker? He has the best part of 400 league appearances.

It’s not - but it’s any excuse to shoehorn in a Simpsons gag.

[Ivorguy]

Good old Otib, having a meltdown over team selection without bothering to wait to hear the reasons why.

We know there’s been illness and we know there were a few knocks on Wednesday .

 

COYR.  Three points please

 

[ExiledAjax]

I'm optimistic today. I'm with Nige that we've been a bit unlucky so far, and shouldn't really be on a big fat 0 points. 

I enjoyed the cup game, and parts of Sunderland, and think there's a winning team in our squad somewhere.

Both teams to score, 3-1 to City. Viva la Robins.

I’d have started Wells instead of Martin and Wilson needs to be in the side for me

Wingback situation explained with quick turnaround from Wednesday and game coming on Tuesday, inc heat today.

Being French, surely he'd have  a bit of Le Rosbif stuck there?

Please see my earlier comment.  In this connection, Wells, I understand, is injured.

Is that the same Max Power that used to play for Hartlepool and Jeff Stelling on Sky always went mad when he scored?
