Team for Wigan.

[Kumquat]

As much as his team selections were baffling, he got his tactics spot on most of the time. We gave almost every 'big' team we played a good run for their money, and he's continued the tradition at Sunderland. I think the last thing you can blame him for is tactical naivety.

Certainly agree with that. But often he was rescuing his own first team selections. But, yes I always thought he made good tactical changes when needed.

But when it mattered the most Play offs he ****ed up royally. It's ok against medoocia teams but up against the top teams he was clueless.

Barnes did the pre-match interview, so based on previous interviewees
Lita will be in for Barnes

Glad you're not picking the team.

I would hope he doesn't replace JFC if so. He has been much improved (and scored) in the last two games.

I completely agree, just wondering if Crofts is still carrying knocks?

 

[brightonmark1234]

same team as we played against blackburn with orlandi bridcutt agustien on the bench

Maybe the team should take a chunk of that responsibility re the play offs

 

[portslade seagull]

Can't see any changes to the starting 11 unless Oscar thinks Bridders is ready , the bench will look more solid though

 

[GingerBeerMan]

against the top teams he was clueless.

2 - 1 vs. Liverpool
3 - 2 vs. Arsenal

Beat sunderland once and Newcastle twice. Apart from that you're absolutely spot on.

 

[Munchkin]

----------------- Kuszczak ------------------
Bruno ------ Greer ---- Upson ------ Ward
----------------- Bridcutt -------------------
-------- Crofts ---------------- JFC---------
Conway ----------- Lita ------------ Barnes

 

[Footsoldier]

2 - 1 vs. Liverpool
3 - 2 vs. Arsenal

Beat sunderland once and Newcastle twice. Apart from that you're absolutely spot on.

But he wouldn't play those formations in the league which mattered, the bread and butter.

Orlandi had better start otherwise I will demand my £15 back
