We desperately need to win these next two games to keep us in with a chance of the playoffs, so hopefully Robins plays a full strength side.

Wigan 0 City 2

What's the news on McFazdean? Could definitely do with him in there for Tuesday

When he plays BNC and JWE at wing backs.

Think that’s true, slight change of tactics at 0-1 and it worked.

No. Quite the opposite. The notion it was a tactical change. Has Robins said so?

My thought when it happened was that he was either carrying a knock or lacking in full match fitness. Just seemed an odd substitution, as he is so important to us.

Not weird at all. Not to me anyway.

Possibly put Sheaf in for Eccles and Maguire for Howley.
I think we need the extra experience and the fresh legs for 2 tough away games.

I'm just hoping Vik and Hamer dont pick up injuries with the heavy workload.

With the Fadz sub we obviously wanted to change shape, otherwise Rose would have come on. So with another game in a few days it made sense to bring off the 35 year old and save his legs.

Okay. I wasn't there. Only heard about it on here and was following SPN.

Just seemed an odd choice to take off, as he is so pivotal to us isn't he.

Wigan had a player sent off yesterday. Will he automatically miss Tuesday?

He is pivotal ordinarily, but needs must and MR clearly isn't comfortable playing Fadz in a back 4. He substituted him a couple of times earlier in the season too, so we could go to a back 4 formation.

Would still expect him to be starting on Tuesday.

Confident we will beat Wigan comfortably. Not so confident about Blackpool, think we will draw.

Blackpool are unbeaten at home under McCarthy, so won’t be an easy game.

Huge game, first of 10 cup finals (sorry!)
Get a good result at Wigan and 4000 go to Blackpool on a massive high. Ahead of the International break, which gives a chance of some bods back from injury for the run in.
Massive week for the club imho

As per usual, the interviewer Martin Winch bid not ask the question, re McFazdean being injury or not.

Blackpool's Gary Madine went off with leg in a brace or some such at the week-end, so he'll be missing against us too. Hopefully QPR crock one or two more of their players on Tuesday (in the spirit of fair competition)!

Give Maguire a start.

Howley has done well but he's not a 10. At least Maguire is, has to be worth a try.

Famous last words and you can't have been supporting the City very long I don't think if you believe that.

Has played there a bit, certainly more of a 10 than Howley.

Do we ask about every player who is subbed off?
