v Wigan (a) match day thread

[Topram]

Tough to beat at home Wigan but we could really do with the 3 points since we have forest Boro and home and Sheffield United Norwich Leeds all away in the next 6 fixtures

No disrespect to Wigan but I'm feeling a bit four-nilly about this game.

Car park 1 is the designated away fans car park and I seem to remember there was loads of room last time I was there. The retail park does offer an alternative, but the club website discourages this. The postcode for the car park (which is £5 per car, is WN5 0UN. Hope this helps.

Thanks mate, much appreciated.

Not a fan of Lawrence are you, not really sure how he warrants getting dropped after his last 2 performances?!

Bryson for Holmes, Lawrence for Waggers…..

He was good against Stoke but don’t think he was great against Swansea, he was very mixed in my opinion. We are simply conceding too many goals at the moment, Waghorn provides more defensive stability because of his workrate. I like Holmes because he keeps the ball ticking over in midfield and can take the pressure off Mount and can bypass a high energy team like Wigan. 

[Sexydadbod]

+ Wigan’s one of Waghorn’s former clubs, he’s bound to score. He won’t last the whole game anyway as he’s just come off an injury. Lawrence and Jozefzoon to come on as substitutes  when Wigan are tired to exploit the space

Not sure how you can say Waghorn offers more defensively, hes only played a couple of times on the wing and from what i can remember offered very little protection, he actually looked a little lost and unsure of his role.

Disagree, our most consistent form and best spell was when Waghorn was on the right wing just in front of Bogle. Even when he wasn’t playing well, he always came back to help Bogle. It’s no surprise to me that Bogle’s form has dipped since Waghorn has been injured.

How many games did he start on the right wing? Anyway Lawrence plays LW so both could play and put Wilson in the middle as thats the position he was playing when we had our best spell.

It’s just my opinion mate. Our good run against Sheff Utd, West Brom, Boro, Chelsea and Brum came when Waghorn was on the right wing. Lawrence struggles against high energy teams who get tight to him like Wigan will and he isn’t the best dribbler.

Against high energy teams it’s important to have a mix of players are quick thinkers and good with their feet to get them out of trouble when the opposition press and players who “graft” to match the opposition’s workrate. Lawrence does neither in my opinion and is much better when there is space in behind, which there will be in the latter stages of the game as Wigan will be tired.

Think we will have to agree to disagree on this one mate.

FL likes our wingers to cut inside which means Wag/Wilson/Jos all need to play on the right as they tend to prefer their left foot, Lawrence is the opposite which is why he is a regular starter.

Anyway, as long as we get 3 points tomorrow i dont care who starts and finished the match.

Did Waghorn play against West Brom? I have been very underwhelmed by him so far....

Guaranteed loss tomorrow sorry everyone, I’m listening on radio derby. So far this season listening to Ramage I’ve heard a 4-1 defeat to Leeds and 1-0 away defeats to Bolton and Rotherham. Should’ve gone to Wigan

[Sparkle]

Intresting game and based on what we have

                     Carson

Wisdom Keogh tomari malone 

               Huddlestone    

       Mount.       Bryson 

waghorn   Marriott   Wilson 

a bit stronger on the field with waghorn and Wilson on either flank

May I suggest that you take a sledgehammer to your radio? To be fair Ramage makes me want to do that whenever I listen to him anyway.
