    Wonder if the squad has been hit by a bug or something as that’s an odd selection

    Evans will be rested as he cant play a couple games in a short space of time.

    My heart always wants stewart starting but my head says him on the bench is probably right. Hes just back from a long injury, a muscle as well so not worth risking when we have another big game on sunday.

    Be interesting how the midfield 3 is, hope its michut sitting n letting neil n ba get forward as both at their best when box to box

    Harsh on him mate. He has been largely robust and reliable for us. Didnt think he would do 3 games in 6 days, but not having on the bench at least is a blow.

    From games ive watched in France then id so hes not up to the physicality of the english game but hes good technically.

    He is better sitting n controlling the game so hope he does that tonight

    Concerned about that line up, hopefully I’m wrong and they get the points. Got to be a bug or something in the squad otherwise why would he make as many changes

    After 5 minutes over scratching my head I am now into positive mode. Cant wait to see Michut and Ba, the two of them together might help each of them. Wigan will know nowt about them and Kolo will be rapidly changing instructioms to players who would have been expecting a different opponent. Amad and Clarke still there to terrify Wigan. Onien and Ballard to step out with ball while big Bailey provides cover.

    1-3. Amad, Simms, and Big Bailey from a corner to shut the commentators up.

    Gooch, Cirkin picked up knocks on Sat
    Alese, Batth and Pritchard were already injured
    Higgins picked up a knock in training
    Evans I assume is being rested
    Stewart being eased in gently

    Its also better for that midfield 3 to have an experienced back 3 behind them as gives them more cover
