Did Phillips play the other night??All tough games now Wigan need points to escape the bottom reaches we need to win to kick start a run can't hide behind unavailable players we matched Sunderland apart from finishing so same 18 for me Butcher to start if fully fit for either Phillips or McConville.

Did Phillips play the other night??
Agree that Butcher is a reliable 7/10 every game these days........

Talking of questions Mike.. here are a few that if answered this afternoon will bring calm to my aging troubled breast !..
1. Will someone reinforce into Toby Savin's psyche that he really is
talented enough to be Stanley's No 1 keeper ?. I am sure that John, Jimmy and John do that regularly
2. Is Ben Barclay really a full back ?. No
3. Will Cameron Burgess be able to calibrate the power in his left foot by minus 25 % so that his crosses reach the goal area and not the opposite corner flag ?No
4. ( Sorry Joe !) Will super Sean ever again score a goal in the Football League ?. ( I Darent add ' or is he really past it ' or a certain lady will have my guts for garters !) Yes - absolutely and no, absolutely not
5. Can Adam Phillips and David Morgan really play up to Football League standards ? No
6. Is Jonathan Russell as unhappy as he appears to be ?.. or is his seeming disinterest and lethargy on the pitch due to some deeper cause ?. Not sure
And finally... Will today's team collectively provide something to cause John Coleman to beam one or two of the radiant and charming smiles which we all know he can readily produce , to the camera in his post-match interview ?. I really hope so
I'll be watching closely with avid interest , hoping for answers, a goal or two ( from the Reds that is !).. and a win for our team which will lift not only their points tally, but also a few flagging spirits which have seemingly been on display lately!.
nb.. Don't shoot folks !.. its only me, musing in my galloping dotage once again !... ON STANLEY .. ON TO GREATER THINGS !!.

Yes, Phillips started then Butcher came on to replace him in last 15 minutes or so - hopefully Matt's fit to start tomorrow
Good news is second part of my post has thankfully happened & Butcher is back in the starting 11, phew!!We use essential cookies to make this site work, and optional cookies to enhance your experience.
