8 wins in all competitions this season, 5 of them against teams beginning with W. We will win at Wigan. It's Science.
You wanted us out a mere 6 weeks ago ffs Love how everyone is bang up for the cup now we're a win against a league one side from a Wembley semi.
Absolutely buzzing now. Though I've just realised I've no chance of a semi ticket if we get there, what allocation do the teams get for semi finals?
That was when I thought we had no chance of winning it. I didn't think we would come close to getting to the semis so I admit I thought it was a waste of time prior to the Fulham game. However, I went to the Watford and West Brom games* so I have been fully invested in the cup run since then. *Nothing whatsoever to do with boosting my criteria for getting a ticket for the semi final should we get there.
That's what I was thinking, I know they've increased the final from 25k to 28k. So maybe just over 30. Let's beat Wigan first anyway!
Yeah, I seem to remember another cup competition not too long ago where we merely had to defeat a League One side on the road to reach the semis...
I reckon this result tonight will give the whole club a lift. 48 hours ago it was a case of "oh ****, that's the end of our cup run" when the draw was made. This will give the players a much needed boost that all that stands between them and a Wembley semi final is Wigan. And that is no disrespect to Wigan, they were superb tonight but we've suddenly got a very very winnable quarter final out of the blue. I reckon it will show in our league form.
That's our secret weapon, they'll be getting over confident now ... and that's one problem we don't suffer from
Wigan have a midweek game in the week leading upto it so that should rule out a Friday night match. Isn't the following week international break too?
And we were in way better shape as a team then, compared to now - even if we were in a bit of a slump at the time.
I reckon the beeb will snap up the ‘Wigan, and their journey to Wembley’. Hopefully Wigan will be complacent against us!
Absolutely Whichever channel we are on, we won't get a mention. Either 'Heroic Wigan go to Wembley' or 'Plucky Wigan Cup run ends' will be the story.
