Bolton 1-2 Wigan

This weekend is massive, all the bottom 6 play each other.

Bolton v Wigan
Blackburn v Qpr
Wolves v West Brom

Worst case scenario is we lose and Wolves and QPR win.

I may have a sneaky bet on them 3 fixtures at the weekend:-

Bolton (win) - Wigan

Blackburn (win) - QPR

Wolves - West Brom (win)

If I were a betting man I would go for QPR and Wolves winning and us drawing, though I hope we get a comfortable win because if we don't we are doomed.

Us to win, Blackburn and QPR to draw and Wolves to lose to WBA.

I get the feeling looking at our run in to the end of the season, this maybe our last ever home win in the premiership...hope to god im wrong but I cant see us staying up. 2-1 to the trotters..al bee it a hollow victory

Just looking at our home games to come, we have QPR, Blackburn, Fulham, Swansea and West Brom. If we can't win those games then we don't deserve to be in this league.

we have to win at the weekend, and i think we will. home form will be key to us staying up.

An absolute 'must' of a victory this weekend with upcoming fixtures at the Bridge and Etihad. Anything less than a W is unacceptable, particularly after a lackluster performance at Norwich. Can't afford to fall back into old form.

If Ryo and Ream are match fit why not give them a start ? Wigan will be taken by surprise!

Wigan to win this one, Bolton can't beat the teams at the bottom.

Scared I'd say.

Hello and welcome Campo.

Hope you're right about the score but wrong about where we will finish!

Feeling quite nervous about this game, Wigan are no push overs.

Sordell to start his gooalscoring career with us tomorrow in a 3-1 win. Mark Davies will score and Chris Eagles will have one of his 'on again' days. Miyaichi will have a brief cameo when Eagles gets knackered. Zat Knight will get caught out of position and let De Franco or McCarthy score the consolation goal.

Wigan can be extremely frustrating to break down, OR they can be absolute push overs.

We walked all over them in the reverse fixture, not because we were that good but because they were that bad.

But they can be hard work to play against on their day. Look at this fixture last season, at the Reebok and DW.

I'm getting concerned that people are dismissing Wigan so lightly. They may not appear to have much skill, but they certainly put in the effort. Considering we have a bad habit of giving up the midfield, means there is no foregone conclusion to this game. We know their goalie is good, and we know that their defence is crap, but when up against a team who have too many on/off performances, it means an extremely tight game, at least tostart with. Another worrying factor is that all the papers seem to think we will win it, and thats not always a good omen.

Until a few weeks ago they looked better equiped than Bolton to make a fight of it - a great draw against Liverpool if I remember rightly.

Last few weeks they've been poor - if we don't take 3 points from this one the picture will look very bleak.

a major tipping point for both teams

I don't expect a win in this game.

if we play to our best we will win.

but how many times have we done that this season? Once? Twice?

I think a draw is more likely.

Sordell not even involved???

Too lightweight.
