Is there one? do we care? are we all still too busy buzzing from Monday night and eagerly awaiting the draw on Friday to care about the game on Saturday?

I'll be checking out the beer festival opposite the ground before the game ...

If Anton is back, play him at right back, if not Clive Clarke.

Rest of the team the same.

Lose 2-1 to a dubious goal, and Roberts to not get sent off for another elbow.

****ing hell less than 48 hours before the match starts and the match thread finally appears. Record? I think so.

Scaloni back in RB, rumour has in Anton could be out a coupla weeks, (fingers crossed he is back for the semis eh?) so ginge stays in at the back, rest of the team picks itself.

2-0 irons. Ashton & Etherington. Take that lawro you lawro

Which proves people are more interested in the FA Cup than the league. Perhaps Pards wasn't so wrong in saying he'd take a final appearance over 6th place after all eh? :wink:

I agree - go with the team that has the momentum. Fresh legs are available on the bench if needed. But, for what it's worth, i think we'll see a cup hangover and 2-0 or 2-1 loss.

Im personally looking forward to this one, espeically now i know theres a beer festival too. Was one of the best games for me last year going up there and beating them 2-1, and should be a good game, wigan like to try and attack game so could be a few goals, ill go for a 3 - 2 win for us, Pards wont let them do a double over us and the lads will be brimming after monday night.

I can smell a 1-1 draw, Wigan to score early on and Ashton to pinch a late equaliser, play Scaloni at right back, Wigan have a physical striking partnership and itd be best to play as many strong and aggressive players against Wigan as we can IMO

After two horrific back-to-back performances in the league, I just hope we put in something respectable. I'm all for a long and heroic cup run, but not at the cost of heavy defeats against teams like Bolton, Pompey and Wigan.

2-1 - A Reo-Coker pile driver and a z-man bicycle.

A win here would be huge but I'm guessing a draw. 1-1 with Ashton the scorer.

It can't be three league nightmares on the trot - I'll take a 1-1.

Think the scoreline will be a repeat of the corresponding fixture last season - 2-1 Irons.

Gonna be tight, but I think we may have just too much for them this time, plus we'll be ou for revenge after they turned us over earlier in the season. I'm going for 1-0 to us and Marlon to get it.
