Match facts
◾Wigan have only conceded four goals in seven league games against Leeds, keeping four clean sheets (W4 D1 L2).
◾Leeds won their last league visit to the DW Stadium in March 2015 and are looking to win back-to-back games there in all competitions for the first time.
◾Wigan have conceded 23 goals in their last seven matches played on the final day of league seasons (W2 D1 L4), conceding 19 goals in those four defeats.
◾Leeds have won eight away league games this season - they haven't won nine in the second tier since the 1963/64 season, when they won 12 on their way to promotion to the top-flight.
◾Nick Powell has scored five goals in his last five league games, despite failing to find the net in his last two.
◾Chris Wood has scored more match-winning goals than any other Championship player this season (9).
So we need 14 goals can't see that being a problem
Realistically I'm going for a 0-3 Scoreline with Woody x2 and Roofey getting t'other......

Not so sure Monk will remain. I'm open-minded regarding next season. If Monk remains the system needs to change.

Monk must stay otherwise were doomed in the new season like we have been year in and year out before Monk arrived.

Don't tend to post much but always follow the match through this thread, so thanks for the season's threads, Highland. Thanks also to all the posters who have kept it going with the updates. Even those really knowledgable ones who should surely be running the club because they know so much more than those doing it at the moment. lol

Don't think we need to change the system moreso than work on a Plan B and Plan C. We are too predictable and teams know how to play against us.

"All being well I might just be back next season "
It's not an option.
Our first off season move us to resign you to do next years matchday threads.
Congratulations!
