Right, now we know what we are playing with. So I'll say... Starting XI: Boruc; Clyne, Yoshida, Hooiveld, Shaw; Schneiderlin, Cork; Rodriguez, Gaston, Lallana; Lambert. Bench: K. Davis, Fox, Forren, Ward-Prowse, S. Davis, Puncheon, Lee.
Best team, Boruc, clyne, fonte, forren(I hope), shaw Cork, Morgan, punch, gaston, lala, lambo. Bench, Gazza, maya, fox, jwp, Davis, guly, j rod Imagine that will be the team for the weekend minus maybe jos for forren and maya for fonte. Guess Richardson and lee to get on the bench
I'm guessing Fonte is still out, can't see Forren being in yet, so it looks like Maya and Jos again. Given how Wigan play with an extra midfielder I reckon Mauricio will keep the shape of the second half against Man Utd, that means Steve Davis starting. For that reason, it would not shock me to see Lambert on the bench, rightly or wrongly. (standby for abuse) Boruc Clyne Maya Hooiveld Shaw Davis Schneiderlin Cork Ramirez Rodriguez Lallana
This is our "Cup Final" and have to throw everything at it as a win will really move us forward both in terms of points on the board and confidence COYRs
[/I] In prematch conference, Poch said a couple of weeks for Fonte. He was not shown in many pictures from Barcelona apart from one standing talking to the coaches...so not apparently in full training at that point. I think Jos has the position at the moment until Forren settles in/improves fitness.
This my cup final. Wife is a Wiganer. Meeting father-in-law (season ticket holder at wigan) before game for fish n chips. Solicitor on stand by in case the worst should happen. Red paint ready (for in laws front door) should we annihilate them. Come on Saints. This is the one I really want... PLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEAAAAAASSSSE?
We always think every game is a must win, but there are still a lot of games to go. However, I want to keep out of the danger zone...it took a lot of hard work to get where we are (including those draws with Everton, Chelsea and Arsenal). In many ways we have proved we are a middle of the table team, but just haven't got those valuable 3 points. We don't want to find ourselves at the end of the seaon being the most entertaining team to ever go down. COYR
I think MP might be tempted to start with Steven Davis. He made a difference when he cam on vs Man Utd and it may be wise to keep the team fresh if any of them are feeling it. Shaw and Lallana will obviously come intot eh starting line up but wouldn;t surprise me to see Davis in one fo the two defensive midfield spots (instead of who I don't know!). Rest picks itself, hopefully with Forren on the bench. Is Mayuka back in training yet?
