Rubin Kazan 1 Wigan 0That makes nine away games without a goal. That’s not just bad luck.
Next up, Yeovil.
All will be revealed shortly.
Wigan have made a long, tiring journey – but Kazan travelled to Vladivostock last week.
Owen Coyle has made five changes from their weekend game against Huddersfield. Stephen Crainey, James McArthur, Roger Espinoza, James McClean and Grant Holt all come in with Emmerson Boyce, Chris McCann, Jordi Gomez, Nick Powell and Marc-Antoine Fortune dropping to the bench.
Then Wigan have the long flight to Bristol for the Yeovil game. Teams are vulnerable when they return home from European trips, and especially in away games. I thought Coyle might take more young players as substitutes and spare some players the long journey.
Your description recalls the two objectionable and inconsiderate lads sitting behind us at the Cup Final. They did their best to spoil a great occasion for the unfortunate families in front of them. You don’t suppose…no, I hope not.
Great news for all Bobsessives! 2013/14 Half Season Tickets are now on sale. Guarantee you catch all the action in the second half of the season from the best seats available!
The 10-game package begins with a 3pm kick off against Southampton on Saturday 28th December and features some great games, including Arsenal, Man Utd and Man City.
Single seats and clusters of two, three and four together are available in all Goodison’s stands.
There is one problem – we find it difficult to score, especially away from home.

At least half of the league games vs teams above us – while Burnley only have to play teams below them?
Twenty players have apparently travelled to Kazan;
Nicholls, Pollitt, Crainey, Shotton, Rogne, Boyce, Garcia, Perch, Barnett, McCann, Watson, Gomez, McManaman, McArthur, Espinoza, Powell, Holt, McClean, Dicko, Fortune.
Beausejour is injured. Apart from Albrighton and the junior staff, all the fit players seem to be making the long journey to Kazan and back to Yeovil.
Saturday’s win over Huddersfield has lifted us into the top 10 in the league and … we have a big opportunity to close the gap between ourselves and the playoffs which currently stands at just 4 points (we also have a game in hand) which is a better position than some of our performances deserve.In contrast, I would agree entirely with this statement.
Kazan looked a superior side to me, but Wigan played bravely to match them. However, it is expecting a lot of Wigan to come back from Kazan with a point or more.
I must say that in the Kazan game, I thought that Crainey looked absolutely terrified whenever the ball came his way. But Perch deserves a rest before Yeovil and we’ve seen precious little of Garcia. Still, Garcia has a three year contract, so he may make an appearance sometime in the future.
He didn’t earn his Judas tag – you invented it.
Who has your unequivocal support now – Owen Coyle or the Burnley fans?
The former Clarets boss ran the gauntlet from 5,000 travelling fans at the Reebok. Owen Coyle hit back at Burnley’s furious fans by telling them, ‘You should call me Moses, not Judas.’
