Great as always

 

[Ned the Donkey]

Haven't seen a Bramhall Lane for a while. Almost reassuring to see one again.

 

[Broomhall Blade]

Confident lot aren't they.

 

[SirNibletsO'Korne]

Thanks Roy. First comment in and we're already got a wrong spelling and lower case L in the first sentence.
Good work Wigan!
And you won't get that draw

 

[Gimli]

Avoiding ‘a Leeds’ would be great thanks lads

 

[pommpey]

Optimistic lot, aren't they?

“don’t recall QPR ever getting a points deduction for their financial irregularities a few years back….add West Ham, Citeh, Everton,Reading,Preston,Huddersfield, Cardiff,Hull and Sheffield United to the list of clubs who should have had points deducted but as yet haven’t.”

why should we have been deducted points

although we have got to got avoid a forest green scenario, this is an golden opportunity to but huge pressure on boro before they play top of the league

 

[mattbianco1]

Nowt daft United. Professional performance, no mistakes and should be 3-0.


please

 

[Blade58]

Possibly in a false position due to the points deduction. Early in the season their away form was really good

Now the positives for us. We are very strong at home. We may have now got over our blip? We do have the players to hurt them

It's all about applying what we are good at and get the result that could increase our gap to 3rd and 4th

BIt more of this would be lovleh. Was this the last hattrick scored by a United player?

 

[Bennyand the Blades]

It's football, ought can happen,
that's the beauty and the hook of the game .....

 

[JPBrods]

Was a decent three points at the WD40 stadium last time out.

 

[brownblade]

Think I'd rest Doyle and McAtee v Wigan, start them v Burnley on Monday. Slight gamble but Norwood should come in and run it theoretically. Brooks or Fleck at LCM.

Half tempted to go further and rest the wing backs but the more you rotate, the bigger the risk.

“If you were in any doubt get yourself to Sheffield on Friday btw. Got Leeds 2019 written ALL over it”

Simmer down, pie nonce.

No. Sharp v Villa later the same season I think.

Forgot (a) what a cracking match that was and (b) seriously how good were the likes of didzy, JOC, enda, deano, leon, etc.? Happy happy days.

 

[Gaini Blade]

No "massive" results to be had at the Lane.

Please god no. Very last thing we need to do at this stage is to start getting all cocky and rest players so they can play in a match we’re likely to lose anyway.

Wigan had Reece James, Antonee Robinson and Dan Burn playing for them that day.

 

[Speedracer]

Thanks Roy.

Hope we knuckle down & put in a performance, we cannot afford to let standards drop for any team in this league, we have all seen what happens when we do. Quite confident we can do that, the prize is too great not to.

 

[Cappy]

“I’d take a draw here tbh”

No shit. You're bottom and we're second and could still win the league in theory. And you're coming to our place.

That's like an ugly bloke seeing [insert fit bird's name here] in the pub and saying to his mates, "I'd be happy with a tit wank". Yes. Yes you would, but it's not happening

Cheers Roygbiv as always

[Caveblade]

Illiterate lot aren't they

Cheers Roygbiv

 

[Ainsley Harriott]

Confident bunch, aren't they?

 

[Sandygate Blade]

Well that's about the most confident set of away fans we've had for ages. Surprising given their league position. Got to say though I am a little worried about it being a Leeds Good Friday moment.
The posts have also brought back awful memories of that wet Sunday in May 2007. What was worse on the occasion was that I had a job interview in Wigan the Thursday of the following week.

This is one game I'll be happy to get the 3 points by any means.

 

[BigBed]

Cheers Royston
Never really think about Wigan, they're just one of those nothing interesting clubs aren't they....
Still, 3 points is 3 points, whoever we get them from.
COYRAWW!!!

 

[Houston_Blade]

Can our players not play like they did against Rotherham and Luton please?!

 

[Melbourne Blade]

Can see a 1 nil either way. Lots of respect for Shaun Maloney and can see him going places in the future. Cracking young up & coming manager.

 

[robbiez666]

This will be a much more difficult game than it looks on paper. They're now fighting for their lives and their form has picked up. Draws against Watford and Coventry last month and finally got a win in their last game. Going to be a bot of a scrap.

Absolutely NOT, we cannot afford any stupid rotation of the squad, we need to put out the best team to do that.

No pissing about.
