Can Wanderers get back to winning ways?
This is how I hope we line up at the Pirelli today
.

Think it’s time to lick our wounds, go on the offensive and try to do what we had done to the three other sides we’d played before the derby day debacle at the ToughSheet™️
Last Saturday was a shitshow, no doubt. But everything that could go wrong, went very, extremely wrong. It wasn’t a 4-0 game but that was the final score and even a 2-0 would’ve hurt bad. Wigan wanted it more, won the duels, pressed high, incessantly and intelligently. Took all their chances. Bruised, beaten, battered; we trudged away bereft and bedraggled.
Stephen Humphrys outmuscled, outfought and outthought Jack Iredale from minute one, as Wigan set Tickle a test to target our defensively weak left-flank. And tested we most certainly were.
No point dwelling and feeling sorry for ourselves. Let’s stand up to Maamria’s man mountains and bring those three points back up the M6 and banish those Wigan blues.
A win, nowt less will do, Whites.
As we make the trek to one of our big hoodoo grounds looking for our maiden victory there, please, please make it so.
