Thanks for that, is Tomlin on the bench?

Good team

Good team

Close to our Wigan starting team I suspect, but striker position still up for grabs.

Surely Vaulks will start too.

I hope this is not the start of the same that happened last season. Three of our four signings are on the bench. Surely Vaulks needs to be in the team???

The first 5-10 minutes we started very brightly, crisp passing, pressing very high and a very good goal. But after that the game disintegrated and became very sloppy. Hardly any possession from 20 minutes in so hard to say.

Madine did well for the first 10 minutes but picked up an injury.

Defence looks solid , coping well with the possession and movement of Nice.
Reid looks out of sorts playing as a no 10.
Very , very limited possession as usual.

Get Tomlinson on I say

Tomlin and bogle looking much better

Tomlin and bogle looking much better

Team looking better since they’ve come in?

No Smithies, Cunningham or Connolly. Looks like they're out of favour and the club are trying to offload them?

Tomlin looks so much fitter and is covering loads of ground

Surprised he has named such a small bench really.

I think he likes Cunningham but Smithies and Connolly seem to be out of favour.

Is he looking good on the ball mate?

Not bad. Putting it about. And won a good free kick and a yellow card. Some class touches.

My arse!!! lol
Bloody predicted text

Happy to say Tomlin is looking sharp and up for it. Tracking back when needed and showing his skills given the chance, early days but positive signs.

6000 here today. Good win

Hopes are high for Tomlin
Go on Son

Based on what you’ve seen would you say him or Reid to start Saturday?

Who's our left back with the pony tail ?
