[Archived] The Good, The Bad & The Ugly Of Wigan Away

[JAL]

Actually, maybe it's time to give Rigters another go?

What ! on finding another club.

I see from the club site that all 4,600 tickets have been sold and that away travel is also sold out.

You can always purchase a seat in the sparsely populated DW stadium on match day if you havent got a ticket.

Assuming this wasn't a sick joke, Rigters has done sweet fanny adams for the stiffs and even Southend weren't that desperate.

Wigan hire snow plough and grit to deal with the rain.

[Ozz]

They should hire Mr Plow. Or, failing that, The Plow King.

[Stuart]

Wigan hire snow plough and grit to deal with the rain.

Not sure what effect a snowplow or grit will have on the rain!

[philipl]

assuming that is the ironic smilie

[Roaming Rover]

Yep the coaches have all sold out. Gutted!!! Anyone know of 2 spare seats on a mini bus for Wigan????

[sambo]

I need three seats if anybody can oblige, live close to Accrington but no qualms with travelling to Blackburn or wherever.

[Roaming Rover]

Hey!!! Me first.....

[sambo]

Hey!!! Me first.....

Lets hope someone has five seats

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

I was going to try and get a ticket today too!!

[Hughesy]

Just get seats in the wigan ends - there will be plenty going spare!

Dunn and Grella both out injured - Grella out for 3 weeks....

[OJRovers]

Dunn and Grella both out injured - Grella out for 3 weeks....

Quelle surprise

[John]

This timing is awful, but not surprising, with all the important fixtures looming.

With Emerton out too, our midfield looks dreadful.

[Hughesy]

Dunn and Grella both out injured - Grella out for 3 weeks....

Where is that from?

FFS Grella plays 1 or 2 and then misses 5 or 6 games! He isnt having much luck is he!

Awful news. At least Sam seems to have twigged Andrews is terrible. Our first team midfield should be:

Pedersen---Nzonzi---Salgado----Hoilett

Pretty bloody suspect, but better than having Diouf or Andrews in there. Also I would be tempted to drop Pedersen and give Olsson a go down the left. Have to say midfield is looking utterly shambolic.

Nowt to do with luck.

Told you how it happened.

Pull the other one

[Amo]

Dunn, Grella and Emerton out - Three crucial players in our midfield. Without them, we really will have to pray for the best. Wouldn't be surprised to see Andrews back in the fold.

[Hughesy]

Well at the beginning of the summer we had 4 midfielders (Dunn, Emo, Reid & Grella) all returning from injury and people wanted us to sell Andrews - We decided it was a case of lets just keep him incase & lets suck it and see with the injured quartet- we now have all 4 injured again!!

In the summer we need to let Reid go & seriously consider Grella if he cannot prove some fitness when he comes back AGAIN!!

[rog of the rovers]

Team for me.

Robinson

Chimbonda (Jacobsen if Samba isn't fit)

Nelsen

Samba (Givet if Samba isn't fit)

Givet (Chimbonda if Samba isn't fit)

Hoillett

N'Zonzi

Andrews

Pedersen

McCarthy

Kalinic

I don't blame Sam for keeping faith with those players. All three are decent midfielders on their day, and Sam obviously thought it was worth a gamble instead of cutting his losses. However, we simply can't afford passengers like Reid & Grella anymore. And the same could be said for Dunn if we found a half-decent playmaker.

As for Andrews, Sam should have bitten Fulham's hand off at the time. Hopefully, a pigeon will take Keith off our hands in the summer.

[John]

For this one I think, Brett Emerton could return, according to Sam's pre-match comments.
