[Archived] Wigan predictions

[tomphil]

In the absence of a preview then perhaps a prediction thread ?

Going off previous over there i'll go for a score draw with poss a sending off and a penalty.

2 - 2 (Rhodes, Marshall)

13,973 (2,650 Rovers)

I won't predict the score, but I think you can add 1,000 to that away following !

[tomphil]

Ive upped it and i'll stick at that ! Still don't reckon there is going to be the big late surge everyone thinks, simply because it's Sunday. Happy to be wrong though

[darrenrover]

2-2, Cairney, Rhodes

16,080 (3200 Roverites)

I'm being a touch pessimistic on the result because I really fancy Rovers could make it a hat trick of victories.

Here's hoping.

Come on you reds!

You may have a point about the Sunday thing, but Rovers' fans do like going to Wigan, nice and affordable and just right distance for an away game,

even on a Sunday.

I was reading what 'Wee Coyley' had to say earlier, he reckons they were the better team at Watford last week(lost 1-0) and they should

have scored 6 or 7 in their Europa Cup game.(won 3-1) we'll see !

[J*B]

1-1. Holt, Rhodes (obviously).

2,850 Rovers.

[somersetrover]

0-2 Rovers, Rhodes and Best

3,300 Rovers

[Audax]

I will predict 2-1 Rovers.

[bob fleming]

2 1 to us. 4000+ Rovers. Pay on the day? With cash? It's just asking for an atmosphere. Almost how football should be.

[clarkycan]

Absolutely agree bob. COYB. And come on rovers fans!

[Mafioso]

Is it going to be on TV?

2-2 (9. Best, 11. Even Better)

[chaddyrovers]

Is it going to be on TV?

2-2 (9. Best, 11. Even Better)

no not on tv. on Radio.Lancashire and the Rovers player.

Rovers to win 2-1. Rhodes and Hanley.

My Rovers team would be Kean; Kane, Hanley, Kilgallon, Spurr; Cairney, Lowe, Evans, King; Best, Rhodes.

Is Dann definitely out?

[pick32]

This will be a tough test, Powell is in good form so stopping him will be half the job, hopefully there midweek match in Europe has them tiring in the second half and king can take advantage.

I think Wigan are just getting started unfortunately. I'd take a draw now and I can't really see why that should re beyond us.

[Tom]

After two great wins in a row a point would be another great result keeping our mini run going

Fortune favours the brave though and it is winnable

[cn174]

Wigan 24 - 18 Warrington. Hopefully, though I'm very nervous.

1-1 tomorrow.

[philipl]

Really tough one but Rovers to get back to winning ways at Wigan after the trough of Kean

[DE.]

Will be a tight game, won by a single goal as long as both teams perform properly. If we put in a Huddersfield performance we'll lose by 2 or 3 though, so I hope we carry our confidence and good vein of form into this match.

[rhodie]

Wigan seem to really be up for this one, didn`t realise it but apparently we are to them, what Burnley are to us, as far as local rivalry is concerned, their forums are suggesting this is their big match of the season . They`ll be raising their game but 1-3 to Rovers and I wouldn`t be surprised if we see a sending off, the Ref loves to throw his cards around, lets just hope it isn`t one of our lads. If the weather holds out tomorrow I`d say close to a sellout for the Rovers fans.

[JAL]

There should be a touch of tiredness in Wigans play so you'd think Rovers would get into them first half and put the game out of sight by half time.

Sounds wonderful, but somewhat unlikely. Wigan are the home team and are away record is very poor, Bournemouth aside. Expecting a hard fought game with the odd goal clinching it.

[Sparky Marky]

3-1 Wigan

Bowyer Out!

[OJRovers]

Big away following should lift the rovers, but going off previous results it is never easy to predict the result at Wigan! Had some strange performances there over the years, but always a good day out (usually freezing cold)
