Play a reserve team against WBA?

[Cobwebcat]

With tonight's score Wigan will have to play their strongest team the midweek game before the cup final.

We could rest the whole team? Should we?

Could Wigan even be in a position where they have to rest some players and don't play their full team in the final?!

 

[Manc in London]

I'd be in favour of that, even if it meant risking 2nd place. We need to go all out for the cup.

 

[MCFC Fort Worth]

I think we could go with..

Hart
Kolarov
Kolo (C)
Lescott - I start Nasty in the final
Richards
Rodwell
Garcia
Sinclair
Razak - if not on loan
Guidetti
Dzeko

No 2nd place isn't guaranteed yet and it will be beneficial to finish the season strongly.

I think it will be like last season's WBA game. Those guys are most likely at the beach or golf course now.

depends on wigans game at weekend at west brom.if they lose that they are down imo so would be well up for the cup final,we want wigan to win at weekend ideally but deep down if we cant beat wigan at wembley we dont deserve the cup

I've no doubt there'll be a few rested for that game. With a bit of luck, second place should be nearly guaranteed at that stage.

 

[lancs blue]

There'll be some rotation but Roberto generally does that anyway when we have a midweek match, I wouldn't go for wholesale changes.

Keep the spine of the team and make up the rest of the team with fringe players

Could give Maicon a game too.

If we win at Swansea I'd do it, perhaps even if we don't and another result goes our way.
