  1. Pilkington starts for Wigan. Hopefully he plays with his heart!! I'm not too surprised by the lineup. Think it'll be Bennett at LB, which is risky but allows Downing to stay in his best position for us. We'll deffo see a front 3 swap again on 60 mins, or sooner if we're struggling.
  2. Our game down Cardiff will be tough. I hope we still have something to play for by then.
  3. One thing is for sure, due to the fixture list there will be surprises, not all will be welcome ones. But this time last week there was some dismay on here at the team, but that panned out well so let's be positive about what is announced in 10 mins and try to see the bigger picture. I'd play Downing at LB, and bring in either Johnson or Rothwell depending on how TM wants to approach the game. I'd also swap Gally for Arma too. BB stays.
  4. On Mowbray, I would say people need to give him a break and not analyse to death every word that comes out of his mouth. He's not the world's best manager by a long stretch. He's human, so he makes mistakes and shows inconsistencies. He's trying to balance breeding / maintaining confidence within the squad whilst shielding the club & players from understandable flak towards the owners & the corporate structure of the club. In doing so, despite the adversities suffered this season re injuries to key players, we're well in the hunt for top 6. My main criticism of this season would be about lost points from winning positions. Even 25% less would see us up there pushing for auto promotion. All teams will view us as a dangerous opponent, albeit with weaknesses. If we can improve game management and not lose leads so frequently, the playoffs are the for us & we would all have considered that a good season back in August, regardless of how we got there. On the Bell & Williams debate, both will make good cover options in a team pushing promotion & both will have suitors if they're available free or cheap. Whilst none of us are overly enamoured with either, Bell has pedigree as a top L1 player and Williams is an Irish international. Of course there will be demand for them if they are made available by Mowbray.
  5. That was at Plymouth after his hat trick down there wasn't it, to get us into the playoffs?
  6. Been decent from what I've seen, save for last 2 mins. Seems like a better atmosphere than usual!!
  7. My picture for these highlights is excellent to be fair, my dad says the same. Hope everyone else's is.
  8. Whilst I'm surprised / disappointed at that lineup too, remember there were similar feelings when the lineup was announced at their place. That turned out ok...
