why is it impossible to contemplate players not wanting to play/feigning an injury longer than it really is..it wouldn't be the first time in sport and happens in all walks of life. not saying it's true but it is feasibly possible and given players wages are secure easier to play 'injured'/not quite ready than put yourself into a team that is poorly coached and performing well short.

We're really scraping the barrel now, not surprising though.
Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?

Clearly it's not impossible to contemplate it. Making the direct accusation is something else. Disappointing for a supporter of the club to be accusing injured members of the squad of deliberately exaggerating injuries to avoid taking the field IMO.

So let me get this right, for 200 of the 320 minutes played this season we've been pretty good (nilled one of the better teams from last year, lost to the favourites by a point and nilled Leeds) and although the other 120 minutes have been bad to appalling, we should now sack off the coach and owner and the players are deliberately swinging the lead to avoid being picked.
I was, and still am, as annoyed as anyone about our capitulation on Thursday, but wow.

Whilst the player deception piece is a ratcheting up of FC vitriol, my favourite is the suggestion Pearson makes way for a queue of prospective owners with £ms to invest.

Hope it's not Rob Crossland, he's rude to his own fans on Twitter. Naughty, but understandably tetchy right now perhaps being bottom and with Hudgell seemingly sacking off public duties.
Back on topic, Wigan. Hoping for some better injury news this week. Is O'Loughlin back?

I'm just hoping that the drama queen pays attention to the word underlined because he's used it a few times recently and getting no nearer to the correct spelling.

Lockers won't be back, no. I'm pretty sure he's got about 3 weeks yet
