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?

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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!

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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
