So is this a good draw for us in the Carabao Cup? I think it is and especially away where the boys can expect a large and loud away following compared to the apathetic home support. It seems the majority of pie eaters think it will be two reserve teams in a nothing competition as they’re only focussed on the league. I think they may have a surprise coming. Even if they play their strongest team I think this is another extremely winnable game to extend our cup run this year.

Welcome back chip
Where’s our administrator RTF gone? Used to get some great thought provoking posts, but they’ve evaporated somewhat🤔🤔
I think we’ll do these pie munchers

So what do we think about tomorrow’s game? Fantastic response from our fans to sell out the 4700 tickets and it wouldn’t surprise me if a few get in elsewhere so look out for some trouble if they do. I just hope silliness doesn’t spoil the game and take the attention off it.
As for the team I expect a few changes but I hope one is Lee in for Sheehan to start. I don’t think we’ve been as solid without him next to MJ despite being better going forward and I think Saturday highlighted it. I wouldn’t want tomorrow to be Wykes arrival or for McLean to steal the show as he did on Saturday. We shouldn’t ignore that Wigan are a good side with some quality players and whilst the fans should help us they aren’t on the pitch and it’s the players who need to win the game. We can win it but only if we’re at our best and with changes to make according to IE, will we be strong enough?

If deffo put Gilks in
I’d even throw in Crawford Conley Delf Brockers(if fit) Thomason Baps
Sometimes, seeing a weaker opposition can be the downfall of the home side, not that they’d know that much about our players, but I’d run with them and assess it at half time
If we’re getting pummelled, leave em to it, if we’re still in the game, bring on a few of the better players.
I’d like a cup run, but I’m really not that fussed about the Carabao Cup if I’m honest. I’d like us to do well in the FA Cup
I think Wigan will by really up for this one and will probably pick a strong side

I think IE”s attitude is to win every game and if we’d lost to Barnsley think of the finance FV would have lost without this one. If we can win and then get a plum draw when the biggies come in so much the better but even if it’s a lower team who we can beat and move on it increases our momentum and belief. I’m surprised at you rftr belittling this competition in which we’ve previously made two finals. A third would be great. |

I would like him to play the full first team and keep the momentum going but I doubt he will and we might see Gilks in goal along with the fonze with a few bench warmers but no matter who he picks they will get the job done. Sticking my neck out again I'm going for a 2-1 win with goals coming late on S,S,O,A,A,O,A,U, COYWM

I doubt he’ll drop Dixon chips, he’s in form and gaining confidence, so why change? Also, I don’t want to see Fonz play under any circumstances, he’s had so many opportunities and contributes nothing, plus we have several much better options now in Kacha, Lee, George and Crawford, all of who I’d rather see in before him. I think Fonz days here are numbered now and it wouldn’t surprise me at all if he was one of the first moved on to make way for new signings. I think we may see a number of moves in and out before the window closes so it could be a busy week. As for tomorrow, it’s a tricky game because the pie eaters will be going all out to win and unless our defence smartens up from Saturday, our big travelling army may come away disappointed?

It will be interesting to see what side the manager puts out tonight.
Presumably starts for Lee and Kachunga. Not sure if I would make any other changes.
A good derby match and we certainly owe them after that farcical 5-2 defeat last time.
As always, I am confident so yet another 1-0 win
