Changes for Wigan on Wednesday?

[Hopalong]

Don't change a thing apart from Gibbs who I suspect we won't see again until March, Blues and Wig will both play twice this week and have inferior squads to us.

Gibbs out till March?  Doubt it.  Looked a fairly moderate hamstring pull. If so, then end of January.  Townsend/Furlong will be fine but may need O’Shea if Ferguson goes.

Thought Charlie may have got 20 minutes today for HRK, which would certainly suggest that he could be starting on Wednesday

Think he would have had it not been for the injuries and Diang knackered.

I know, I know....

Never change a winning team. How can you change a side that’s won 6 in a row.

But with us paying Sunday, Wednesday and then Saturday morning, I’d be tempted to give a few a rest, so they’re fresh for Blues.

Wigan may be in free fall but it will still be a tricky game at a ground we don’t do very well at usually, so I wouldn’t change too much.

Team for Wigan

Johnstone
Ferguson Ajai Hegazi Townsend
Barry Sawyers
Phillips Periera Edwards
Austin

Team for Blues

Johnstone
Ferguson Ajai Bartley Gibbs (if fit)
Livermore Sawyers
Phillips Periera Diangana 
HRK

Not far off, tbf.

Maybe one change too many.

Still, a point further ahead of the chasing pack after these midweek games. On to Blues.
