I'm going with a 2-1 win for us and around 12.5K attendance. Hope my optimism hasn't worn off by 5pm!

crowsnest · Aug 8, 2015

Burge, Willis, Ricketts (C), Johnson, Stokes, O'Brien, Vincelot, Fleck, Lameiras, Maddison, Armstrong.

Do you know the bench?

Surprised at no Tudgay and the pint sized attack. We must be hoping they cannot cope with our movement.

Just getting to the ground, Wigan look to have a good following. Fans quite chatty too!

Tudgay's not exactly lanky is he!

No, but he's more of a hold up/link player than JM/RL/AA.

With those three there is no focal point. Not necessarily a criticism, as it can work against a slow defensive unit, just an observation.

Swanson got crocked last game so no surprise. Thomas, well no comment needed here

Surprised Armstrong is playing ahead of Tudguy. and not convinced about playing a centre back at right back. Good luck leading the line by yourself kid. A big ask of two 18 year olds to lead our attack.

There's random pictures of ex players dotted around the concourse.

It does indeed! Thanks Wasps Only decent thing you've given us so far

mrtrench · Aug 8, 2015

This attack in theory is all about one touch triangles and the killer ball over the top or through a gap. Let's hope it works.

sw88 · Aug 8, 2015

My seats dirty; who can I complain to?

sw88 · Aug 8, 2015

Anyone else wonder what Reda and Willis say to themselves when they stand just outside the box adjacent to one another and appear to do some sort of ritual? Is it just a prayer?

sw88 · Aug 8, 2015

I see them as hatters are now sat on the side. Wonder which steward will force them to sit down? Would love to be that steward

stupot07 · Aug 8, 2015

Great atmosphere. No idea what the formation is, Armstrongs on the right wing, Job and the left and Maddison and Lameires kind of up front, kind of attacking midfield.

Ball out wide to Armstrong, Maddison and Lameires come short, Armstrong crosses only JOb in the box.

Sure th bloke behind me just compared Murphy to Burge saying Murphy didn't command his area but Burge does...... :thinking about:

Evidence why your striker should be in the box, not the one out wide putting the crosses in

Great_Expectations · Aug 8, 2015

Are we genuinely playing 4-2-4?!

sw88 · Aug 8, 2015

Armstrong wide right plays a one two and cuts inside, beats his man for pace so the defender chooses to take him out

Rubén takes the free kick, not really in a shooting location misses everyone and out for a free kick.

Not sure if a bad shot or a cross no one anticipated

That's what I thought too. Odd, but doesn't seem to be too unfamiliar to the players this far

The Gods are shining... Commentary still available on CWR- online

sw88 · Aug 8, 2015

Maddison trying to tackle and only succeeding with a striker tackle; not very good. Foul given

Grendel · Aug 8, 2015

Great goal. Well done JOB

sw88 · Aug 8, 2015

Armstrong with a great finish

Through ball in front of him from O'Brien who won possession just inside the Wigan half

Great goal

The CableGuy · Aug 8, 2015

BOOM! 1-0!

chiefdave · Aug 8, 2015

Cracking stuff, sounds like a decent atmosphere as well.

Philosoraptor · Aug 8, 2015

Good stuff... Now for the next two goals..

Johnrambo · Aug 8, 2015
