      In the wake of Kone’s double on Sunday do you think he will start on Saturday ? Will Di Santo be on the bench ? Will he start with both perhaps and use Henriquez should either of the other two to start to flag ? If we can get a bit of a cushion then he wouldn’t be needed and we could maybe shore things up at the back ? I would like to see both the main strikers start with Maloney playing a free roll just behind them to create chances. Discuss !

        Will Di Santo be on the bench ? if the above starts maybe

        Will he start with both perhaps and use Henriquez should either of the other two to start to flag ? if we are 4-0 up

        If we can get a bit of a cushion then he wouldn’t be needed and we could maybe shore things up at the back ? 4-0 is a cushion

        I would like to see both the main strikers start with Maloney playing a free roll just behind them to create chances.

        it wont happen

          There’s something seriously wrong if Kone doesn’t start.

          In terms of our “out-and-out strikers”, he is by far the most dangerous.

          I don’t see why he wouldn’t start his best striker..?

          Then again.. stranger things have happened.

            Yes Kone will start and yes, I would imagine Di Santo will too.

            Before the African Nations started we had a front 3 of Franco, Kone and Maloney. I would expect that to remain the same now Kone’s back.

            #103874

            I expect Martinez to start with his nominal first team;
            Al Habsi
            Scharner Caldwell Figueroa
            Boyce McArthur McCarthy Beausejour
            Di Santo Kone Maloney

            But he does – for once – have some real choice with Alcaraz, Golobart, Lopez, Jones, Espinoza, McManaman, Miyaichi, Gomez and Henriquez all available for selection.

            Here’s hoping that Wigan’s luck has turned and that they come home with all three points. Anything else is unthinkable.

                We have done well against the other relegation battlers this season in terms of points gained and we are due a win in the Premier league.
                Think we will get it tomorrow and then follow it up with a shock win against the scousers a week on Saturday.

                  Agreed – though I still don’t get why Bob didn’t play another striker in place of Kone while he was away.

                  I think the fact that the FA Cup game finished with most of our first team on the pitch is telling too.

                  Martinez has got to start Callum McManaman today!!!

                  Good points
                  Wigan are close to full strength
                  Wigan have scored in their last nine away games
                  Wigan’s last result was a 4-1 win – at Huddersfield
                  Reading have conceded the second most goals at home (24) – after Wigan with (27)
                  Reading have had fewest shots (235) in the Premier League and the fewest on target (85)
                  Reading have lost their last two games – though both away from home

                  Bad points
                  Reading are unbeaten in their last five matches at home, winning three of them
                  Reading have scored in each of their last seven league games – their best run of the season

                  Neutral
                  Both sides have kept three clean sheets this season

                  Play to the end!
                  There have been last-minute winners in three of the last four meetings between the clubs
                  Reading have scored 42% of their goals in the final 15 minutes of games
                  Le Fondre needs one more goal as a substitute to set a new Premier League record for a single season

                  There’s every chance of a good result today. 2-1 to Wigan!

                  #103910

                  Half time; Reading 0 Wigan 2 (Kone 2)
                  And, to make it even better, Arsenal 1 Aston Villa 0

                  Martinez has relied on his usual first team, who have had the better of the first half. With two goals from Kone late in the half, they have gone in two up.

                    And to think Thirtyodd years latic said playing front 2 with Maloney in a free roll behind them wouldn’t happen !

                    #103912

                    Now 0-3 up, Reading down to 10 men. Arsenal 1-0 up against Villa that should see us out of the relegation zone tonight

                      Excellent performance from Wigan team collectively and individually – except perhaps Al Habsi who had nothing to do!

                      Good saves from Federici saved Reading from a heavier defeat. Wigan go above Villa on goal difference.

                      Bring on Liverpool!
