Wigan Athletic (A) - Saturday 27th June (3pm)

[WacoRover]

Meanwhile, Rooney scores, Derby up 2-0, so we drop another spot. Gotta get all 3 today to keep pace. 

[RoversClitheroe]

Bennett LB then ?

[Tugay-is-God]

Looks like that team news leak was pretty bang on, Arma's got to be pretty disappointed to miss out.

[G Somerset Rover]

Worried about the lack of legs in our midfield. And mystified how the headless horse Gallagher can keep his spot in place of Arma.

Cardiff take lead at PNE

[Admiral Nelsen]

Bennett left back, Evans not in the squad so Rothwell in midfield.

Otherwise, as last week. Arma on the Bench, as is Smallwood

Swansea 0 Luton 1

[JacknOry]

TM been reading the boards again, Smallwood on the bench.

I know it wont be true but kinda hoping Downing at LB and Bennett playing just about anywhere else...clutching at straws.

[OldEwoodBlue]

Not liking Rothwell playing.

Liability that lad.

 

[philipl]

So rotating the front three again after 60 minutes...

Hopefully Smallwood’s contract extension was so he can come on in the last ten and take a red for Dacky.

PNE Level

[davulsukur]

Gallagher might be upfront?

I dunno, we need someone in there that has a bit of pace and can take people on.

[dallydally]

Equaliser for PNE

[BlackburnEnd75]

Ive always thought Rothwell's natural position is on the left a 3 man midfield. Let's see if that's true.

[TruRover]

personally I’m quite happy to see rothwell start, especially if he’s in a midfield 3. In a game like today where Wigan will most likely sit off we might need his creativity and ability to run with the ball.

My thoughts exactly. There is not much pace in that side apart from him.

Results can always go any way, at all times. I wasn't saying it can't be won, I'm saying it's not in the 'really should be winning' category, which the term winnable implies. All games are technically winnable.

The form guide was messed with by the break, for sure. And if Wigan had lost their last outing I wouldn't be putting much store in their previous form. But they won with a clean sheet again, and I suspect this restores their state of mind to being in that run of form. Wigan were also unlucky in a lot of games when their form was poorer. It's unlikely to be a walk in the park today.

 

Yeah agree ..I don't think any game will be a walk in the park until maybe the latter fixtures where one of the two  teams really has nothing to play for and have no  crowd on their backs baying for a bit of effort/performance. Some teams will completely switch off.   Somebody in the chasing pack are going to win possibly 6 out of 8 games ..lets hope its us. 

[dallydally]

Cardiff lead again!

@arbitro your source is spot on Tony again!

My Friday conversations with Mogga are a joy to behold Andy ??.

[AspRover]

I think I'd line it up

Walton

Nyambe Adarabioyo Lenihan Downing

Bennett Travis

Holtby Rothwell Brereton

Gallagher

Maybe?

I seem to remember Bennett having good games in the centre and Holtby, Rothwell and BB running off Gallagher as a target man could work?
