Saturday 8 March fixtures

[thewwfc]

nice 6-pointers for:

Barnsley v Blackpool (if we're counting the mid-table trophy)
Stockport v Charlton
Exeter v Shrews (David Wheeler w/ a stoppage time winner?)

We face a disappointingly resurgent Posh side at London Road, not sure what triggered their recent uptick but I very much hope the shite version returns to stink out their gaff on Saturday.

Can't see Wxm not beating Rovrum, but hoping for a dissatisfying (for them) draw between Stockport and Charlton.

As J Greaves famously said...."It's a fahnny ol game Saint"

We've gone from not being able to BUY a win away - but being relentless at home...to winning 4 out of 5 away - but shite at home!

Fat Stevie in town on Sat. You just know what's gonna happen....

Would have happily taken 6/9 against Orient Barnsley and Stockport but now I'm hungry for 9/9. The result of this game could be key in deciding whether we are fighting Huddersfield, Bolton, Reading, Orient etc for 5th and 6th, or whether that list of clubs are also going to be fighting for 4th spot too.

Need a response at home to the imps after a pretty mediocre Tuesday night at Bolton.

Keeper issues Allsop injured, BPF in now but fans clamouring for an untried U21 lad Brad Mayo to come in...we shall see. I wouldnt be against it

We will feel the backlash from Birmingham losing last night? Every chance I reckon, or can we be the visiting team to win there this season?
Doubtful but you never know

With Peacock Farrell in goal you have every chance

Can you believe that when we won the return fixture we went 4th and people were talking up our promotion chances.

Lol. We are probably pointing our way to safety though

Our away record doesn't warrant your apprehension.

We've pretty much got nowt to play for but obviously the Hollywood effect means we've sold out, people are so weird these days.

And Steve Evans is not fat, he's cuddly like a big teddy bear..........apparently.

We do OK at creating chances, especially from set pieces (scored from a throw against you guys back in October) but not so good in open play.
We don't normally get that many from open play, but last night we actually got decent crosses in and scored from them.
We never what team Skubala will pick, 4 or 5 changes most games recently, confusing for us fans nevermind the players

 

[Throbber_for_Dunk]

Wigan away, on my birthday, as someone based in this corner of Greater Manchester is a fine old thing!

Hopefully the good fortune extends to the match itself, could see us getting at least a point but god knows what to make of the tics at the moment.

 

[HutchECFC]

Shrewsbury (H) - we’ll probably finish at about 6pm, compounded by a 90+13 winner by David Wheeler.

I was rather pleased to see the unwanted monkey off your back in not getting a win away from home for what seemed like an eternity. I bet half the rotherham fans didn't know what to do in terms of celebrating come the final whistle!?! A rare occurrence. The dreaded is that there could be 2 wins on the bounce due our winless streak at home in recent weeks.

It was a 3 year stat that said we hadn't won away on a Saturday in games with a 3pm KO, we had won on weekdays and an early Sat KO but it was an unbelievable, unwanted record, so I'm grateful it's gone.

You know what they say about buses?..........so who knows?

But given we might have to play two midfield players as C.H.s on Saturday, it would be a turn up for the books if we get anything.
