[Archived] Wigan Away

[LeChuck]

True, he's got absolutely no chance of breaking in to Man Utd's team with the emergence of Rafael. I thought he looked good when he came on against Spurs, and I'm sure when we signed him that Man Utd fans were saying he was good at going forward with a very decent cross on him. Plus he has pace.

BB - you can tend to get offers in Walkabout etc on King Street just depends on what's open and you get let into with the footy being on but could be a case of try and see as ot much cheapies in the centre nowadays.

Cheers Capt!

Looking forward to this - one of the regular away games I manage to get to and the atmosphere is always cracking.

Rovers team:

Robbo

Zurab Samba Ooijer Warnock

Emerton Tugay Mokoena Pedersen

/Vogel

Santa Cruz Benni

Don't rate simpson - certainly not at rm - his attacking play is even more suspect than his defensive duties. Not sure what combination will stop our defense leaking but need to cope with the power of Heskey so Samba needs to have a good game. Tugs really needs to be at his creative best and I wish we had a right mid so Emerton could go where he is effectve.

A desperate rovers to get a point 1-1 Santa Cruz for us Heskey for them.

The right wing spot really does pose problems, Emerton is far more effective in the centre but who else is there?

If ince tried someone else on there imagine the stick he'd get on here, yet people suggest Simpson?

I'm all for giving people a chance but it seems when Ince does he gets stick for it.

It really is a dilemma but I imagine he will stick with emo.

For me Benni has to start this one and if Roque isn't pulling his weight he should be dragged off for Roberts who should be up for this one (not saying that will help his finsihing but he should cause problems)

I'd be tempted to start Benni on his own up front. Roque's mind seems elsewhere.

Hey that`s my plan!

Looking forward to it,especially as i can only get to an away game once or twice a season.

If you see 2 blokes totally mashed,say hiya as it will most definitely be me and my mate.

I would think I'll be in a similar state. Getting the train up from Brum at 9am, so plenty of pre match drinking time, in our Santa hats!

[Tom]

Out of interest why have we got 2 threads on this i feel like I'm repeating myself in each?

Any news on ticket sales?

2,100 yesterday close of play ...

We have to win games like this if we're going to stay up and Ince's neck is very much on the line if we don't take the points. A draw is no good to either team right now. Therefore we have to take the game to Wigan and play creative attacking football. If we are to do this, then we need Tugay in the middle and at least one decent outlet on the wing: Emerton (who'd have thought I'd be saying that a few months ago?!). Furthermore, we cannot be making stupid mistakes at the back and that is why Samba needs dropping.

This would be my starting XI:

Robinson

Simpson / Nelsen / Ooijer / Warnock

Emerton / Tugay / Vogel / Pedersen

Santa Cruz / McCarthy

EDIT: Why is it that we have two identical threads for the Wigan match?

[Tom]

Slightly disappointing it must be said.

Whoever is going lets make sure we get right behind them from the off, a good start is vital

If I merge the threads the preview will be on about page 4. Only option is to Close this thread.
