Wigan Athletic v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[Bosco81]

Think Makoun will be on the bench as will Heskey ?
Can't see GH changing a winning team ?

I'd like to see Gabby up front with Bent especially as they are down to the bare bones in central defence.

We've sold out 3000 and theres tickets available on the night.

3-1 to us, Bent hat trick.

Sorry mate did you say we have sold out? or can we pick up tickets in the away end tomorrow?

Our allocation was 3000 which we sold out, but the end holds 5000 so there are tickets available on the night tomorrow.

Why won't he start Makoun and Heskey?  The lads have just had a couple of weeks off, they must be as ready to play as they will ever be.  Walker should be fit, and Wigan's 1st choice centre backs are both out.  This is not a must win, it's a will win.

Because Heskey is mostly rubbish.

Not according to the man who will be picking the side who has included him almost every time he's been able to.

Makoun is new to Englsih football and has had little time to get know the players so it would be a risk.

[DrGonzo]

Heskey working for Bent?? I'd rather that than Gabby playing on the left wing again.  Makoun has got to start some time, surely there's not many teams you'd rayther see him start against than Wigan?

I think it worth introducing Makoun at Wigan rather the unpredictability of a FA cup game or at OT.   He is a big lad, he will be fine.
