    Thompson and Pinto back in training, the latter will play for the U23s tonight. Oxborough has an injury from trying to stop a Pukki shot. So it'll definitely be McGovern on the bench this weekend. Might make things tighter on the home grown quota.

    McLean might have a fresh ankle injury, but Hernandez will potentially be back before the international break. Marshall could be involved tomorrow, more likely another week.

    Farke insists Tettey is a "young man" and can definitely manage a third game in a week.

    So Wigan claim a 1-0 victory in tonight's televised game.
    From the BBC report, it didn't seem like a very good game.

    "Yes, they're a dangerous side, Wigan.
    They've had some good results recently and have dangerous players -
    anyone who underestimates them can get found out"

    Some interesting quotes from DF ahead of today’s televised game -This time last season we were on a really, really good run and then perhaps an unlucky loss in the cup at Arsenal and it killed our momentum. It is not such a lesson for me as a coach because I have worked in this business since I was 18. Perhaps it is more the lads themselves, especially the ones who were playing in the Championship for the first time last season. To use each and every momentum to go further on and win points.”
    “To be rebellious against setbacks. Okay, if you have the feeling in a game you can’t win it towards the end, then don’t lose and take a point to keep the momentum.“A painful experience always helps you in the future.”

    #aintthatthetruth
    As DF says, we were on a really great run until the Arsenal replay and IMO, the fact that we so nearly made it and he played mostly players from the first team killed our momentum, but now he has players he trusts in the Carabao Cup, so I would expect quite a different team/squad when we play Wycombe.
    Edit - I see McLean may be a while longer before he returns to training/playing!! <yikes>

    Madders scores from a free kick and starts the play for another goal with a long pass to Vardy. I hope there were plenty of add-ons in that transfer deal.:emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Considering the money spent by Villa, I'd expect them to be higher up the table and from some of the recent results, I think any team is capable of beating any other team excluding ..........

    Edit - Lafferty scores again for 'Gers!!! <yikes>
