The Brighton defeat followed the break for international games. It also preceded a Europa League game.
Despite their success after Europa League games, Wigan have now lost three of the four league games before them. They did win before the trip to Kazan, but went on to lose in Russia. They returned to gain an away victory at Yeovil. What a topsy-turvy season it has been so far.
Coyle now has to plan for the next two home games – against Zulte Waregem and then Derby – as well as the demanding programme in December. Both of our next opponents are in good form and each will give us a good game. I don’t think we can take qualification for the Europa League for granted.
I expect Holt to start on Thursday and Fortune on Sunday. Otherwise, I’m finding it difficult to predict – and understand – Coyle’s selections. We may well see some players return from injury, as well as a new loan signing.
These are probably the best team we’ve played in the competition (the only team that probably have deserved to beat us)
They are flying high in a decent league and are in good form, yet lose at home to Maribor badly then beat them away before that they get thumped in Kazan.Strange one for me this, would take a draw now and have to draw/win in Slovenia to go through.
Rubin Kazan W3 D1 L0 10pts
Wigan W1 D2 L1 5pts
Zulte Waregem W1 D1 L2 4pts
Maribor W1 D0 L3 3ptsIf Wigan beat Zulte Waregem and Kazan beat Maribor, then Wigan will go through to the next round. Zulte Waregem are playing well, Kazan may relax against Maribor. I suspect qualification will have to wait until the last game.
