Making the short trip from Liverpool tonight. Absolutely pissing it down at the moment in Liverpool - it’s going to be a cold one

 

[rexo87]

I would definitely take a draw. First goal maybe be vital to either side

I say this about most games, but defo not tonight. They're probably the worst side in the league and we really need to win to keep up with those above us from 4th down

Maguire for Howley, same side otherwise. Godden's pressing really stood out last game so with the goal as well, I feel like he edges Walker.

I'm calling in on family in Wigan before walking to the ground, just found out we're having hotpot for tea which I believe makes you impervious to cold.

Are you taking the whippet for a walk first?

 

[fernandopartridge]

Spoke to a Wigan fan at work who isn't hopeful of their prospects at all.

 

[Robinshio]

win tonight, most of those above us playing tomorrow, so we need to win to keep the pressure on

You got the right Wigan?

Defo near freezing tonight.

I'm in Manchester currently and temperatures are low, it's cold and wet

I mentioned draw because of the weather. Looking out of Wigan Starbucks window, it's improved and now blue skies. It was horrible an hour ago.

Doesn't sound like Manchester

They're greyhounds actually!






And yes, I'm fairly sure my uncle has a flat cap before you ask.

 

[alexccfc99]

Those going, be safe and enjoy yourselves.

But don't blame me if the game becomes dull and uneventful. I've only put a few bets on Cov scoring and/or winning Lukaku, Mahrez and Vik all scoring in 90 mins seemed an obvious choice for a combined bet at 25/1

I’ve put £5 on a Vik hatty at 66/1

If it doesn’t happen tonight against a bottom of the league crop of players who haven’t been paid since January it never will

Say hi to the family

 

[Macca]

Biggest game of the season, possibly the crunch fixture

 

[Covcraig@bury]

Setting off from Bury now … very cold and a tad sleeting.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Too many cocky over confident predictions on here.

Its gonna be a tough game, they are at home on their pitch (which isnt great) and fighting for their lives.

Really hope we put away the chances we tonight.

It really is win at all costs, a draw and the play off dream is all but over.

 

[robbiethemole]

POG now boys, there you go, Evo

 

[coop]

Nice early goal should settle our nerves and make their heads drop so 4-0 to Wigan it is.

Not lost in their last 4 home games I believe (I read somewhere)

i think its 3 , 2 draws and a defeat, but apart from the burnley game, not been conceding many

 

[Londonccfcfan]

We struggled to break them down at home too. Their tactics will be very interesting.

 

[Coundon SBA]

Wilson

cuffy
McNally
Fadz
Doyle
Bidwell

hamer
Eccles
Maguire

godden
Vik

This has to be our starting team tonight. Why shouldn’t we go for it a bit. I’d start cuffy over dabo as cuffy is a better attacker down that side. I’d give howley a rest also as he is a young lad and played a lot of minutes recently. I feel like maguire has a point to prove and is more then capable to do so, why not start him behind the strikers as he is capable to make the run in behind also if Godden or vik drop deep

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Travelling tonight so it's going to be hard to watch. I'll mostly be relying on this thread, and maybe Clive.

Might as well blindfold myself and fill my ears with shaving foam!

 

[Ashdown]

Maguire really ?! I hope he proves me wrong but I wasn’t that impressed on Saturday. No Sheaf yet then ?

I agree thought he was very poor.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Irrelevant theres no way McGuire will start.

Walker and Vik my bet.

Godden to come on as sub. Forwards rotated

 

[torchomatic]

Just over three hours. Nightmare.
