Wigan Athletic @ DW Stadium 18/2/2017
#1
Off to the Estadio del Pie to play the team from the rugby town on Saturday, apparently this is our cup final which given the irony that the Latics are 13 places below us is a bit laughable.
Having bought the entire surplus of transferred footballers in the transfer window the Latics have had a bit of a resurgence, they are now above the Plastics from Deadwood after a surprise win at "big" club Wolves on Tuesday night with an 88th minute goal from Buxton.
Before the window Latics had the lowest number of goals in the Championship however they have scored five in their last three which does suggest a change of emphesis to actually putting the ball in the net as to over the bar as they do when egg chasing.
In amongst the signings was Omar Bogle from Grimsby who has netted twice since arriving mind you it was Norwich he scored against, does not take much to score against the Canaries.
They have lost keeper Haugaard who was injured at Craven Cottage his replacement is Matt Gilks who once performed in goal for them from Bloomfield.
Up front there is Will Grigg who apparently is on fire although he's not found the net since 27/9/2016 interestingly they had ex United Gabriel Obertan as a substitute on Tuesday hardly played since he left United but maybe has something to prove.
Won't be easy against Latics, squad wise suspect little or no tinkering from the last two wins, Gally may come back but Welsh and Woods won't, Pringle seems to have disappeared from view and no doubt will disappear from the club in summer.
4733 away sell out be nice to give the Pies a decent gate for once.
Match report Sunday actually have a social life on Saturday night for a change
Have you heard about the news on Mizar 5
People got to shout to stay alive
