the_mighty_bosh 1,256 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 I think there's a good chance that both sides will be weaker than the last time we met. A lot of their good loanees have gone back to parent clubs (most notably Scott Twine) and they haven't had the chance to replace them, so they'll probably be solid rather than spectacular. It's unclear what is happening with Clarke for us and of course there's the unknown about Rowe's replacement. The starting XI for us could be anything really, going off last week's performance DKD and Garrity would deserve to start ahead of Ntambwe and McCalmont in midfield, but either way I'd like to see Hilßner playing deeper in midfield like in the 2nd half last week so that he can get on the ball early and start attacks, rather than the rest of the midfield giving it away early. Our home form suggests a clear away win, but miracles do happen I guess! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t get this....Rowe has gone ....he has played 3 games since November. We got 1 point ....he missed 6 games since November we got 10 points including scoring 4 away against Saturdays opponents, winning away to the league leaders and thumping his new club.

100milesaway 147 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 A loss would lead to OWTB forum meltdown, and multiple " That's me done threats", so 1 nil to Latics. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hillside blue 22 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Tomorrow's game should be a good indicator as to the mood of the camp, interesting to see who starts up front, especially as we have a depleted forward line, no Rowe and Dearnley still out injured. I am also interested to hear what Kewell's pre match comments will be. I've got Newport down for a win. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Quite depressing Our remaining games in January look bleak for points Home v 2nd place Newport County Away v 6th place Cheltenham Town Home v 5th place Salford City Without picking up at least 2-3 players to improve the team, being only 8pts off the drop zone and with the likelihood of no points in the next 3 games we're going to be back in the mix for the trapdoor into non league football Our Away form has kept us safe so far this season but even that's stuttering now and we cant buy points at Home UhOh !

I am on the lookout for something else. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
