Wigan build up thread

I think the only way either of the kids gets on is if we've got the game well and truly secured - and how often does that every happen nowadays?

2-0 up with 15 minutes left against QPR.

[Danish_Pastry]

Qpr...!!

2-0 up with 15 minutes left against QPR.

That's entirely my point. We'd have to be about 5-0 up before we'd have the points secure - and we can barely score 5 goals in a month, let alone a game

bench looks good. I hope Sterling, Shelvey & Carroll see at least 20 minutes of action. they won't but hey ho.

great to see flanagan at right back.

any chance bellamy, agger & johnson will make the cup semi?

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

Pretty happy with it in certain ways.. If Kelly is injured then Flanagan gets a chance, If Kelly was fit I'd have liked Coates but maybe not both together, makes sense. Sterling and Ecclestone although I'd have preferred suso is encouraging and Carroll not playing well he's been poor, improved from dire so I won't complain.

He hasnt been poor at all when he's actually started.

Poor starting line up, i'm no fan of Carroll but Kennys selections are getting more and more baffling. Yet again Henderson & Downing in the starting line up and Carroll gets benched. Most likely henderson on the right too

[Chazza]

After the Chelsea v Spurs result a win today puts us back to just 10 points behind 4th

[Craig_H]

So what you're saying is we'll draw?

[Mattshark]

Where the **** is Maxi???

Apparently we can't have wide players who can score goals.

[Phoenix07]

We'll win this game comfortably. I seriously am wondering about Carroll's future here and how that affects our transfer plans if we do indeed decide enough is enough.

Shaggy is at the game so that is nailed on

We will hit the woodwork, miss a penalty and batter them for the whole game only for the goal machine Franco Di Santo to nick a leveller

No he has.. He hasn't been as poor but still.. Not getting into the box, no desire to follow a pass. Half decent hold up play doesn't mean he's been any good.. His goalscoring and bring people into play are what he will be judged on and I wouldn't say he's been even average at that to be fair. His work rate picked up he did slightly improve but come on, at this point in time he's a million miles away from being good enough.
