Thing is…we dont have a defence cos theyre all injured and thats before the Cup final….god help us after the final….we’ll be playin Pollitt at full back against Gooners….We got no chance with such a depleted and tired squad…..Enjoy the Final on Saturday come what may and look fwd to bouncing right back up again next year with PJ in charge…..Its only a year out of the prem….be a nice change….
If those 2 screw up Saturday , who’s making the trip to the Emirates ?.
Remember the Carling Cup semi ? we weren’t given a cat in hells chance of qualifying. I made the trip and it was probably the best game I’ve been away with Latics.
I don’t think we will stay up tbh but like when you were a kid you don’t want to miss it just incase something happens.
I think you have to play your strongest squad possible in all remaining games.
Personally I think (provided Alcaraz is fit) we should revert to 3 at the back with Alcaraz, scharner, Golobart/Caldwell with Boyce and Espinoza wing back. Espinoza clearly needs defensive cover. I think he performed admirably given his inexperience in the role, but he needs help.
Do you ever watch Championship football? it is such a hard league to get out of, and their would be far from any guarantees of getting back up,hence our summer departures.
