Wigan v Blackpool Official Matchday Thread 16.03.24

Any recommendations for bars to watch The FA Cup game in for away supporters? I believe Spoons will accommodate us, but will that show the fuzball?

Looking forward to this one, hopefully a decent following and a performance most unlike our last visit! 🤞🏻 UTMP

Red Robin Pub opposite the now closed cinema is always popular
 
Swan & Railway is decent but doesn't tend to like football fans. Spoons was very busy last time we played them. There's a Sports Bar on King St that tends to welcome away fans too.
 
Parking at Wigan be careful if you choose to park on Robin Park on match days 3 Hours Max is Free or be a Plonker like me and get £100 fine :(
 
We have to conquer that ‘shitty performance when we have a big following’ thing and if we play our best side and let them worry about us, we’ll have enough to take all three points.
If we can score first, preferably with the last kick of the game or early doors and stay in front, the atmosphere will be amazing, especially in the rowdy away end.

UTMP!!!
 
I see Charlie Goode played 90min in the middle of Wigans back three v Wycombe. Didn't realise he'd pitched up there. Cant wait to see him next to Dembele 🤣
 
Yeah tough one today, we need to be at it to come away with the win.

Could do with a Rhodes goal to get him back in the goalscoring mood.

COYP!

Team picks itself at the moment which is always a great sign. Only question mark is who partners Rhodes, could be one of three. I favour Lavery but personal choice

Agreed OK with the team apart from Beesley starting next to Rhodes. Wouldn’t mind if we have no alternative but it annoys me immensely when we have in my opinion better strikers on the bench

Beesley to me is the correct choice. He scores every now and again and also works very hard. It's better than the others.
 
Crazy that it's the same Camera yet the picture is much clearer on the Wigan feed with their commentary than on the Blackpool feed.
 
I only have radio comms but are we playing a bit lacklustre? Dembele being kicked as usual.
