Can the Latics Tame the Lions at the DW?

[OnLoanfromEnfield]

3 matches left.
Millwall are certainly a bogie team as far as Wigan Athletic are concerned (post FA Cup Semi Final).
It always seems to be a Championship relegation battle when the return match comes around in the second half of the season.
Hopefully our fate won't be confirmed tomorrow either.

07/12/2013 Millwall 2 - 1 Wigan - Barrow/Championship - 14th (Cue the post table tennis turnaround)
08/04/2014 Wigan 0 - 1 Millwall - Rosler/Championship - 5th (James McClean the striker in a 4231)
21/10/2014 Wigan 0 - 0 Millwall - Rosler/Championship - 19th (Fortuné and Riera in a 442)

[won1facup]

Lately they don't score many, we don't score many ever.............so 3-3 draw lol

 

[jeffs right]

Why shouldn't we? We have super Shaun in charge.

 

[runcornfan1978]

A good shout by keeping the same starting 11 that beat Stoke.

GOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

4 wins in 5 months

YESSSSS

 

[Wigan4life]

We still have absolutely no chance of staying up purely because Huddersfield play Reading on the last day

 

[truelatic4eva]

Talal and his mates have made sure we go down.

 

[jeffs right]

Well done lads. Two goals too. Oh how many more points would we have had if Keano hadn't been dropped.

Unless they draw or we win 6 nil

 

[andronicus]

Thought we were excellent today, really made Millwall look very ordinary indeed. Will Keane I thought had his best game in a Wigan shirt for a very long time.

Best performance at home this season, credit to the players. It was great to see us score a couple of goals from open play.

It’s a long shot but there’s still a slim chance. We just need it to go to the last day, hopefully Huddersfield lose their next 2 and we beat Reading.

Thoroughly enjoyed the game and would have done even had it finished 1-1 …because there was positivity, effort and quality all on show…if only we could have put in even half a dozen or so similar performances over the past twenty games we wouldn’t be in trouble
Keane’s pass to put Lang through to set up the winner was first class.
sadly it seem like too little too late with Blackpool and QPR pulling off shock away wins …need to win the last two and benefit from a bizarre level of ’snookers’ from here.

Not strictly true...we have to win our 2 that's obvious. Huddersfield have to go to Sheffield then Cardiff and lose then here's the important one...Huddersfield need to draw at home v Reading and we survive.

Not likely but certainly not in the miracle bracket.

I totally agree. If we play like that next season, I’ll be happy, no matter what league we are in. I really enjoyed watching us today, first time for a long time.

Excellent team performance. Thoroughly deserved to win........and a really enjoyable game to watch! Every player seemed to play with determination, aggression and passion......even the ones who don't usually look like they're trying very hard! Even the likes of Keane was tracking back and putting tackles and challenges in to win the ball back in his own half!

It's probably come too late to save us, and it does beg the question......Why couldn't they play like this in earlier games?? It does show what we are capable of if the players are in the right mood and mindset.

Walked past some very disgruntled and angry Millwall fans going over the bridge. That result is probably going to end up costing them a play-off place at the end of the season.
