lancyclaret Posted 31 March 2014 Posted 31 March 2014 Hey lancy. Hope we can do you a favour tomorrow night, i really want burnley to come up with us-you're a great club. You guys were unlucky to lose vokes so early on saturday-im sure if you haden't you would have had a much greater attacking threat. Good luck for the rest of the season. Thanks - Trippier and Ings should be back for the last 5/6 games but I doubt we will see Vokes play again this season. Should have got a loan striker in last week when they had the chance. Dyche and the board will look pretty stupid if they miss out on promotion and £120 million because of lack of strikers in the run-in. I had a fleeting nightmare vision of us finishing 3rd and Bournemouth 6th with Eddie Howe getting the Cherries promoted to the PL.
Dickov22 Posted 31 March 2014 Posted 31 March 2014 No way we should rotate the team. We won on Saturday. Keep the momentum!
LCCFox96 Posted 31 March 2014 Posted 31 March 2014 Another tough game. A win tomorrow night and that's automatics done and dusted. A point wouldn't be a bad result either, as long as we get something to extend the gap over Burnley. If we get 3 points our sole and only focus can then be the title. If Rosler had been there all season, they would probably be in top two.I actually agree with this. It will be a tough game tomorrow night and if they get play offs they'll be a real threat to the other teams in them.

Number 6 Posted 31 March 2014 Posted 31 March 2014 Wigan are dangerous, no doubt. The two teams who have been up there on form with us have been Wigan and Burnley. I think winning at Burnley really eases the pressure for this game. It's sort of a freebie now. Worst case scenario we will be 6 points clear of our nearest rivals but I'm hopeful we'll bring something back. Only change I would make is Wood in for Vardy. Vards picked up the slight knock and this is the last game which could see his ban come into force. Wood also put in a great performance against Burnley so deserves his chance.

There isn't a waking moment that I am not ecstatic that we won't have to do that play-off thing again, this season. You look at the teams jockeying for a slot and there is no way you can confidently call who will make it, let alone win it. A total lottery that is genuinely bad for the health of supporters!
LCFCpele Posted 31 March 2014 Posted 31 March 2014 Anyone know how many tickets we've sold? I'm imagining a cracking atmosphere if we fill that massive away end!
Dan Posted 31 March 2014 Posted 31 March 2014 Got a feeling we're going to lose this. In an ideal world, we win this and Sheff Weds, whilst QPR win at Bournemouth meaning we only need a point to be promoted v Brighton.
davieG Posted 31 March 2014 Posted 31 March 2014 The Latics take on Championship champions elect Leicester City tomorrow (Tuesday) at the DW Stadium and we will be honoured to have a Select Group referee in charge of the game, Jonathon Moss.This will be the first time that Moss has been in charge of Latics game this season, he did have us three times last season though, two in the Premier League, West Ham and Arsenal at home and our FA cup 3rd round replay away at Bournemouth.Most of Jon Moss' 24 years of whistle blowing experience have come in the local leagues in and around West Yorkshire and his home town of Leeds. He was still refereeing in the West Yorkshire and Leeds combination Sunday League up until 2002.44 year old Moss is a head teacher at a West Yorkshire primary school.Speaking to BBC Radio Leeds Moss was asked 'to describe your worst experience as a referee', to which he replied:'As referees we are quite self-critical and analyse each and every game decision. There is nothing worse than giving an incorrect decision whether it is getting a throw in wrong or a big decision such as a penalty or sending off.''When I was refereeing in the Conference, I once awarded a correct penalty to Leigh RMI against Scarborough.'As I blew my whistle to award the penalty kick the ball fell to another forward who scored. Had I delayed my whistle for a second I could have played the advantage leading to a goal?'The Leigh striker took the penalty, which the goalkeeper saved. He jumped up and kicked the ball straight down the pitch to the Scarborough forward who ran through and scored.'Whoops, let's hope we have none of that on Saturday!!!Jonathon Moss Card Watch 2013/14Games - 30Yellows - 97Reds - 3Wigan Athletic v Leicester CityReferee - JONATHAN MOSSAssistants - Constantine Hatzidakis and Andy HendleyFourth Official - Neil SwarbrickRead more: http://www.wigan.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=354625#ixzz2xWwJ2vQy
Dan Posted 31 March 2014 Posted 31 March 2014 I will struggle to forgive him for Forest away in 2011. That was absolutely scandalous. I have never seen such biased officiating in my life.
davieG Posted 31 March 2014 Posted 31 March 2014 Promotion-chasing Leicester City can go nine points clear at the top of the Championship with a win at Wigan Athletic on Tuesday. Nigel Pearson's men go into the match on a 19-match unbeaten run in the league, with their last defeat coming against Brighton and Hove Albion at the start of December. Saturday's 2-0 win at fellow Premier League hopefuls Burnley saw Leicester open up a six-point gap ahead of their opponents to hand them a huge advantage in their automatic promotion bid, with just eight games remaining. Wigan, however, should provide tough opposition on Tuesday, with the FA Cup holders enjoying a good season since Uwe Rosler replaced Owen Coyle as manager in December. A 1-0 loss at QPR less than a fortnight ago represents their only defeat from their last 10 league games and that was followed by a 1-1 draw at Bolton Wanderers at the weekend. Rosler has called for a big improvement from his players against Leicester as Wigan bid to remain in the play-off pack. He said: "We had some experienced players out there who couldn't handle the derby situation and got nervous after they scored. "We are disappointed in ourselves. We should have played a lot better from the start. As a ball-playing team we should have been better on the ball and at times we didn't cope with the physical side of things. "But at the end I only thought there was one team on the pitch. We have to play better (against Leicester) on Tuesday because we're playing the best team in the division."

Fox92 Posted 31 March 2014 Posted 31 March 2014 I will struggle to forgive him for Forest away in 2011. That was absolutely scandalous. I have never seen such biased officiating in my life. And Middlesbrough away. The 3-3 under Sven. Is it champs league week? Yeah. Didn't realise myself. Bayern are in town.
Dan Posted 31 March 2014 Posted 31 March 2014 Is it champs league week? Indeed. Man Utd v Bayern & Real Madrid v Dortmund on Tues, PSG v Chelsea & Barcelona v Atletico on Weds, And Middlesbrough away. The 3-3 under Sven. Yeah. Didn't realise myself. Bayern are in town. Was that him as well?! Oh my.
AndWhat? Posted 31 March 2014 Posted 31 March 2014 This is a weird one really. We are up now, end of. But I seriously do not want to get promoted on Saturday with us not playing. So a draw tomorrow then win on Friday and get promoted on Tuesday. But how can I be at the game and not want us to win!! **** YOU SKY!!!!!
Dan Posted 31 March 2014 Posted 31 March 2014 This is a weird one really. We are up now, end of. But I seriously do not want to get promoted on Saturday with us not playing. So a draw tomorrow then win on Friday and get promoted on Tuesday. But how can I be at the game and not want us to win!! **** YOU SKY!!!!! Exactly how I feel. Tomorrow feels weird to me to be honest, almost like a dead rubber. It shouldn't be right that I'd be happy with a draw. That said even if we take 4 from Wigan/Weds, it isn't inconceivable that QPR lose at Bournemouth - which would send us up on the Saturday.
Guest Posted 31 March 2014 Posted 31 March 2014 The pressure is all on Wigan. Playing at home Needing a win. I think we should rest players from Saturday but still go out there for the win. We score first we win.
Burmesefox Posted 31 March 2014 Posted 31 March 2014 Would any be tempted to have a rotate for this game? Maybe see the likes of Konch, Moore, King etc be given a start ala Milwall which came in between a long run of games? Either way I am fancying a draw as they are pretty decent. No chance. Nothing has been achieved yet; play your best team Nige until we have gained the title.

God that will be an anti climax, especially for me as I'll be in North Wales by 2pm on Saturday surrounded by United and Liverpool 'fans'
Guest Posted 31 March 2014 Posted 31 March 2014 No chance. Nothing has been achieved yet; play your best team Nige until we have gained the title. They played satdi and again on Friday, nothing wrong with rotating a few players for this freebie.

Freeman's Wharfer Posted 31 March 2014 Posted 31 March 2014 I will struggle to forgive him for Forest away in 2011. That was absolutely scandalous. I have never seen such biased officiating in my life. Agreed. I don't even think it was necessarily bias just plain and utter incompetency. I'm sure Schmeichel won't be too pleased to see him after that ridiculous sending off which cost us a win there. I was absolutely astounded to see that he had been refereeing at Premiership level since then and he frequently pops up having decisions that he has made analysed. Not too long ago Savage Tweeted saying he was the worst referee that had ever officiated one of his matches and that he too was dismayed that the guy was working at the top level. Let's see what tomorrow night brings!
