BottledDog Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 We should win, and I hope to God we do bearing in mind the following fixtures. Everton and Stoke have every chance of doing us over before the Mancs and Chelsea shit on our chips. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 the possibility of complacency might be another valid reason for freshening the team, give Ben Arfa and Santon a start ffs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Got my ticket for this, so we better put on a show like we did in the last two home games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David28 Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Really hope we'll see many goals there. I can see us winning 5-0. I also can see us losing 1-0 because of a Ryan Taylor Charles N'Zogbia goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStar Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Absolutely must not lose this one, would dent our confidence massively and could derail our smooth start. Need to not take them lightly and really go for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I think somebody mentioned earlier, good management is about raising the level by implementing change before it is actually needed i.e. Marveaux for Obertan and Santon for one of the full backs. This way we optimise the team with the players we have at our disposal, we could even go as far to say Ben Arfa for Best, although he merits his place so far. it will only take a bad game to replace him, but quite happy to bring him on for another half hour to get him up to speed, then we can decide who plays better as a partnership: Best Ba or Benarfa Ba My Team for Wigan: -----------------Krul-------------- Santon--Tayls---Colo----Rayls Marveaux--Cabaye--Tiote--Jonas --------------Best----Ba-------- Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 My team: ----------------------------Krul------------------------------ R.Taylor---------S.Taylor-----Collocini---------Santon Jonas---------- Cabaye-------Tiote---------Marveaux -------------------------Ben Arfa--------------------------- -----------------------------Ba------------------------------ Got a feeling this game won't be as straightforward as some are making out. They've got a canny record up here and this is just the sort of game where we tend to slip up. Crucial that we get the win on Saturday with the games we've got coming up in the next 6 weeks so i'd be delighted with a scrappy 1-0 win. 19 points after 9 games would just be unbelievable.

Lenny Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Never bother with line-ups but fuck it, we should be going for the throat with this one. Ben Arfa is fit, now's as good as any time to bring him in. Risky making 3 changes, but I'd go with: Krul Santon, Saylor, Colo, Raylor Marveaux, Cabaye, Tiote, Jonas Ben Arfa Ba Maybe start Obertan instead of Marveaux so as not to disrupt the team too much...

SiLvOR Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Agree Lenny, however we should certainly start Marveaux for me. This is as good a game as any to try out Marveaux, no disrespect to Wigan intended. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistle17 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 The only thing I'm worried about is if they come here and try to 'park the bus' and just shut up shop from the beginning. If that leads to us getting frustrated it could be a nervy afternoon. But, I'm sure it won't come to that- we have enough quality to see them off like. I'd definitely start with Ben Arfa and Marveaux in this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Al Habsi is a good keeper so they may frustrate us. We should have enough to win the game though. With the CC game soon after, Pardew should be giving all the new lads a go in the next week or so. It doesn't really matter which way around. I just hope he doesn't start Loven again when the others are fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Their defence is a right mess at the moment, lets keep our high defensive line and really test their backline as much as possible, should comfortably be able to score. Al-Habsi is alright but one of those keepers that looks good from defense letting lots of shots go at him, which he can then save. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Krul Santon, Saylor, Colo, Raylor Marveaux, Cabaye, Tiote, Jonas Ben Arfa Ba This. Freshen it up a little with the new boys, they'll be desperate to play so should turn in a performance to try and make sure they keep their place.

STM Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I'll be delighted if Santon gets a start, really looking forward to seeing what he is all about. I think people are right when they say Simpson should be the one dropped, especially since Raylor will be playing against his old club but do we move Taylor over to the right and put Santon in at left back.
