Team for “Careful what you wish for” FC in t’Cup

[OB1]

Don’t really want to be losing to Lowe but have to protect the important players.

Walton

Storey Lindsay Youth

Potts Thompson Mawene Small

Mads

Keane Smith

Anyone who signs this week goes straight in, as does Thor if fit. Don’t really want to risk Storey but we’re stuck in that position

 

[Big 1]

Never thought I'd say this but sod the cup, it's all about the league. We actually have a real chance to get to the Promised Land this season with the players we have (plus backing by the owners).

 

[jcpne]

Dont think we necessarily need too go to OTT with resting players considering its a week till the next game after that.

Would definitely be giving a few people a run out though, Mads gets 90 against his old mate as well.

Can’t wait to see mats flip Lowe off when he’s scored the opener!

Walton
Potts, Lindsay, Lewis
Pol, McCann, Thompson, Small

Dobbin, Jebbison

Great time for a rest now, and to be able to give players minutes in the cup. If the links for Stefan to leave are true, then I wouldn't be risking an injury. I'd hope the team is:

Walton

Storey
Lindsay
Lewis

Potts (do we know of his injury after today?)
McCann
Thompson
Devine
Small

Mads
Osmajic

Not sure, whatever peoples view of him, I think I would also give Storey a break.

He has been excellent this season and if he was out for a few games he would be replaced with Lindsey.

 

[Spaceballs]

I thought people who lived in Wigan were either rugby or Man U fans?😁

Whilst it would be great to advance in the cup and make some money, need to fully focus on the league tbh.

We shall see and of course will celebrate a win haha.

The guy is possibly one of the worse pundits on tv, particularly when compared to the likes of Danny Murphy & Joe Hart on the BBC. Hard to believe he’s still employed by Sky.

 

[Jack Daniels]

I would be giving - if fit - the likes of Lescott, Mawené, Pasiek a run out.

We don't need silly injuries or Red Cards with Derby, Hull, Boro and Ipswich up next.

 

[Doyler]

There was actually people on here saying that Hecky was no better than Lowe.

 

[Mickypne]

Totally understand wanting to rest key players but id still put a strong team out. If we win, we could get , say , Spurs away, united away and thats money in the coffers and towards a better window

 

[Dick Dastardly]

Go as strong as possible. We need to get in the next round. A good draw would give us enough to sign another player.

 

[Heck Tuah]

We know all too well what happens to a Lowe team that comes up against a side with more quality and some proper coaching.

Rotated side will smash em

Walton
Storey Lindsay Hughes
Pol Thompson McCann Small
Mads
Keane Jebbo

 

[Rankine]

Full strength for me, obviously resting players who have any niggles.

 

[IanBogie9]

I think Thompson is the one who needs protecting, based on that massive display today.

 

[bloaty head]

Genuinely feel sorry for Wigan fans, I really don't miss going several games without a shot on target

 

[djwoody]

No need to go over the top when there's a good number of days until the game, and a full week after it. I'd go close to full strength but without risking any niggles, however slight. Walton obviously needs some game time, same for Mads, Keane if he's staying around / to put in the shop window, and Potts / Small wingbacks. I wouldn't change much else. Jebbo should start after not starting the last two as well.
