Wigan are a very young team. They don't seem to have a lot of attacking options, but I'm guessing they'll have too many for us. I suspect they'll field a strongish team because I don't think they have a huge squad available.
Huddersfield showed that the key to beating them is to snuff out their best player Aasgaard. He is very good, but he is their main source of creativity. They were very effective at stopping Huddersfield playing, but they lacked the creativity to benefit. Their other star player is their keeper Mr Tickle.
Personally I think we should just play our team and forget about the injury crisis. Players can and do get injured in training or making chips for dinner. If we make it less of an issue then the players who have to step up will only consider the chance they are getting, rather than imagining they are part of desperation move by a team with no chance. The more you win, the more you keep winning, whoever is pulling on the kit. Blooding a load of youngsters together tends only to set them up to fail.
