Today is a HUGE opportunity we must grasp it, it's going to be very VERY tough but we must step up to the plate These lads don't let us down. I give them my unreserved faith!
I hope I don't live to regret saying this, but I'm really confident about today and fully expect a victory by at least two clear goals. Icing on the cake would be Holty bagging a brace or more in front of the TV cameras ................................... <fingersandtoescrossedemoticon> ..................
I wonder if Martinez would take a point before the game?? Im doubting they will be all out attack today, if they do, they could see themselves on the wrong end of a mauling. I think they will play cautious, and hope we leave a few leaks at the back and see if they can mug us late on!! But your probAbly right
Ruddy Naughton Ward Whitbread Drury Crofts Surman Fox Hoolahan Jackson Holt subs- Steer, Martin, Johnson, Morison, Pilkington, Bennett, Wilbraham. No Howson anywhere and I assume its Elliott Bennett, not Ryan as Lambert has named Martin. Edit - Must be the return of the diamond.
Brilliant selection by Lambert today. Lots of creativity with the possibility of width coming on late to put in late crosses.
Surprised to see crofts above pilkington if i'm honest. The fact we have Bennett, wilbraham, pilkington, morison on the bench is really pleasing some really good options. The squad really is building up nicely!
Interesting team. Is it the same midfield that played on the opening day? Slightly surprised at the lack of wingers to counter-act Moses, although at least Naughton should do a better job than Russell Martin. Also, don't forget it's on Sky. We never do well on Sky...
Confusing team selection from Lambert as always. I would of thought having started Howson in the tough Stoke game, he'd have persisted with him against Wigan...
As much as I hate the title of this (tiny tiny tinpot wigan) that can't give their team much confidence. https://twitter.com/#!/BobRutler/status/178872221161365506/photo/1
