Evans hasn't pulled up any trees since he first came to the club. Bennett is a must in the middle. If I were their manager and I saw Evans in for Payne I'd be more than please.

Bigdoggsteel Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Payne isn't a winger. He is fine against teams we are going to dominate. This is a scrap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
den Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I’ve thought all week that we won’t win this one. My guess would be for a Wigan win. Really hope I’m wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me a win would be absolutely mammoth however a draw wouldn't be too bad given we are playing the second best team in the league! True it would give Shrewsbury a chance but they would still need to win both games in hand which isn't a guarantee Lets get the 3 and make it a moot point!

Totally agree with Mowbray on this one. Bennett brings balance, strength and pace to the side on the right, Payne doesn't. He's not a right midfielder. I think Payne has been subbed every time he's played there. I'd have played Travis before Evans though. Time for Evans to earn his money. Yeah fair point I was just hugely disappointed to see Evans there after the Bury display - however someone who went to Wimbledon mentioned he was good when he came on there. Think we will see an early season Smallwood performance today think he's been saving himself for this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wigan are the only team who can match us for quality of player all over the pitch. Having a lightweight like Payne out wide who isn't even comfortable out there would not be the brightest idea against a team that can hurt us even without us gifting them goals. It's hardly up there with playing a left back on the wing against Oldham. This is all-out attack for Mowbray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigdoggsteel Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 This is our most solid team,with most players in their actual positions. Travis or whittingham perhaps could be in the middle,but both have been out so Evans is the next choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backroom Mike E Posted March 4, 2018 Backroom Share Posted March 4, 2018 Personally just glad it's round pegs in round holes. I'd rather start with this line up and options to come from the bench than start with Payne and only have Evans to bring on for 'inspiration' tbf. That set up is only negative if one of the central 2 don't venture forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G Somerset Rover Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Evans needs a performance today to justify his spot. At least we have some real quality on the bench for once, and that’s without Whittingam, Travis, Chapman and ‘you should see what he does in training’ Gladwin. Shock: Keith Andrews predicts a Wigan win on Sky. Still banging on about Wigan now. Kirkland was more complementary to us. COYB, will be a tight game but we’ll grab it 2-1.

Come off it, Bennett is hopeless on the wing but has done well in central midfield. Evans is hopeless in the middle so it's weakning 2 positions in one go. Really disappointed TM has bottled it and not stuck with Tuesday's starting line up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Predictable change from tinkerman, let's just hope Evans's misplaced passes don't cost us. If anyone has Twitter, my dad wants to know where Keith Andrews gets his wigs from. Perhaps someone could ask. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbrovers2288 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Really wish sky would bring out an ex player that actually likes the club, Keith Andrews very negative about Blackburn whereas Kirkland very positive about Wigan. Andrews predicts a Wigan win and Powell to be the star player. Like really. Wish that ****** would get to ******* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
