The usual

Sky Blue Harry H · Nov 7, 2022

Kick them where it hurts and get the first goal, (and the following two).
Wigan's main threat seems to be from McClean's deliveries. Will he mark him with Eccles?

ccfcmad1 · Nov 7, 2022

Potential Banana skin for sure but have to feel confident after the last two results, get at them from the off crowd on side 2-0 win.

Tea & Busquets · Nov 7, 2022

A match we should be winning. 2-0.

Sky Blue Pete · Nov 7, 2022

Will we get to see palmer and Ohare behind vik???

It’s great we’ve found a way to be competitive without really getting back to the football of the start of last year

Tight game won by the odd goal in 3.

Vik and palmer

SleepyGinger · Nov 7, 2022

I’d imagine Wigan will try and do to us what we done to Watford on Saturday.

Would like to see O’Hare back in but hard to drop Allen or Palmer after Saturday.

1-0 win.

shmmeee · Nov 7, 2022

Tricky game. We always do worse against teams that don’t try and win the game.

Going for a 0-1 loss. Hoping to be pleasantly surprised.

Wilson
Rose Fadz Panzo
Eccles Hamer Sheaf Bidwell
O’Hare Palmer
Györkeres

God knows who on the bench, depends on illness. Possibly Burroughs in for Bidwell if he’s not fit.

HuckerbyDublinWhelan · Nov 7, 2022

Opposite ends of the form table, we’re on the up, they’re getting over their promoted Bounce, should be easy work for us

1-0 Wigan

This season this should really come into its own with all the games in hand.

Guess you could describe it as the business end. Having a higher win% when you are lower down the table gives significant changes to your position in the league. Higher up, and it starts to get much harder because other teams will also have higher win% making the travel time between the teams a little bit longer when climbing the table.

I think, luckily for everyone, there are spurts and sputters which teams usually get themselves into, or come running up against.

Also, the higher you go, the more you lose in position if you lose, or draw a match. All the fun of the fair.

Cross the 1500 line and everything starts working in reverse!

Palmer out as reckon Robins will be managing his fitness and it's working well so far, he'll come on after the hour mark.

2 nil win, Vik & Hamer

Greggs · Nov 7, 2022

just hope we score first so we don't have to deal with time wasting and them spoiling the game.

Id be quite disappointed if we line up this defensively at home to Wigan TBH.

curly_tom · Nov 7, 2022

With such fantastic results recently, it's hard not to imagine that we will lose this one. We should win though, the players must be feeling very confident after beating two of the best teams in the league. Wigan don't look great and have slipped a lot lately. If we can get our best team on the pitch we can do this!

skybluepm2 · Nov 7, 2022

Huge couple of games before the break where we should be looking at no less than 4 points.

I’d give Eccles a breather and bring in Kane, and as good as Burroughs was on the left, I’d start Bidwell. Pleasing to now have the young man as a competent backup.

Like many others on here, I’d love to see the COH & Palmer link up deployed behind Vik. Allen is our only ever present and his been playing out of his skin so I can’t see it happening unfortunately. A nice problem to have.

2-0 City, a rare Sheaf goal followed up by a trademark Gyokeres mazy run and cushioned finish into the far corner

Covcraig@bury · Nov 7, 2022

3-1 win

Winny the Bish · Nov 7, 2022

Two teams that play a similar formation tend to cancel each other out. 1-0 City.

Wilson
Burroughs Rose Fadz Panzo Bidwell
Sheaf Hamer
O'Hare
Walker Gyokeres

robbiethemole · Nov 7, 2022

I’m quite glad they drew as the pressure is off them a bit and they might be more relaxed in their play, rather than being on a losing run.

SkyBlueMatt · Nov 7, 2022

This is definitely a game we can win. No game is a certainty in this league but with the confidence building within the team after recent results, I'm confident too.

It will be one of 'those' games so I think we're going to need to score a couple.

PUSB-We_are_going_up · Nov 7, 2022

I reckon a 0-0 here then a 2-1 win against QPR

Bertola · Nov 7, 2022

iFollow for me on Tuesday unortunately. The boy has training, and it'd be too much of a rush to get him home, wait for the wife to get home and then get up to the ground

shmmeee · Nov 7, 2022

Feeling like crap and my Dads away so not sure if I’m going to go alone or pussy out and watch it online. Tried to convince the missus but no dice.

Take him with you? Or school night

Yeah he's only 6 so wouldn't last until full-time, especially after training. So it'll be a rush home, chuck him in the shower, and then get his quilt a nd pillow down on the sofa so he can watch the first half. He'll be at the QPR game with me though

pusbccfc · Nov 7, 2022

No ifollow or red button and £20 ticket. Should be a good home crowd. I'm sure Wigan will bring 200 ish

Absolutely agree with you but this is the approach I reckon Robins will take. Looking in advance to the 2 games, if we get a result Tuesday then more pressure off on Saturday. 4pts from the next 2 games and I'd be happy but I really do genuinely believe we can get 6pts.

slowpoke · Nov 7, 2022

Will be disappointed if we don’t win this, I was the Blackpool game but that was more down to the circumstances of the bug which went through the camp. Interesting as to how Robins goes with this I think Bidwell will start and O’Hare for Palmer who looked to me had a little knock Saturday.
Has the threat of five yellow cards and a game ban gone yet ?

No but it makes little sense for a player to miss a game to prevent them from missing a game
