Alcaraz injured apparently, he's a big miss for them. It will mean Caldwell will come in, he's largely been dreadful and is horrific against pace. Knowing us though he'll have a blinder. Beausejour is a threat on the left, he's a very good early crosser of a ball, but to be honest they're quite susceptible to counter attacks which should favour us. The ideal scenario would be to get 1-0 ahead, keep it solid and pick them off.

It seems that the majority of Wigan fans don't use the internet, 2 Wigan comments on the thread on not606

The thing that concerns me most about Wigan at the moment is that we're not playing in quite the carefree manner I would expect. Last couple of seasons they seem to have relished the challenge of playing their way out f the relegation zone. This time, meh - not so much.

Oh and Bale's back, and that little sod Defoe will be available, so we're probably fecked.

the latics are down to our last few game and this is when we are at our most dangerous all we need to do is remember how to score and i think we got a win that we really really need.

Other than that, there's hardly any Wigan fan posts anywhere at all. Might have more luck looking on Pigeon fancier websites for opinions on this match.

I admire you trying to make this out to be a decent side. They did beat us 1-0, but that was when our players really appeared to have no idea what was expected of them.

Hopefully, coming off this big win last week, and a few players rounding into form, we can trounce this pack of shitbirds as we rightfully should.

And while Boats-du-jour has done some nice things, this is a terrible player that Walker should manhandle.

It really depends on which Wigan turn up, they can be woeful or brilliant. They were brilliant against City. What I can say is that a 4-3-3 would be useful as I watched their game against Liverpool and the scousers absolutely trounced them through the middle. McCarthy and McArthur couldn't get anywhere near Pool's 3 midfielders, so if we stuck some ballplayers in front of Parker there is a way to dominate. We should do them but they'll be up for it.

That's what makes me nervous about the game. Yes, we'll be on a high after beating the Champions - I hope that we don't go in complacent, something I've seen so many times before.

Secondly, on their day, Wigan can give anybody a bloody good game - so depends which Wigan turn up as well.

Agreed, especially if Wigan go with a back three, they would be absolutely murdered by our forward line

Without being flippant, we don't deserve top 4 if we don't take an inconsistent Wigan team to the cleaners... We should be buoyed by the comeback against City hopefully. Bale to have a stormer and destroy them.

Caldwell vs Bale = Super Fun Time.

The Wigan world general sports section seems to be full of posts by one person, and a lot of them are just absolute guff. Thfc6061 is on there, I've noticed he posts match previews absolutely everywhere, he's like a match previewing machine.
