That's not an excuse for fielding an understrength team. I honestly don't know where this attitude has come from, that teams are selective in fielding certain players in certain games. Christ on a bike, call me old fashioned but aren't you supposed to win every game, isn't every game as equally as important? Will the EFL look into this like they did when we played Birmingham? WBA are also fielding a weakened team

It's called squad rotation, Wagner did it regularly.

They should clobber them with a big fine.

1-1 on 59. The Baggies' equaliser from an indirect free kick within the box is worth a view.

1-1 FT - this could be a surprisingly tough game on Saturday.

Wigan have rested 7 first team players for their game against WBA tonight We rested 28 in pre-season.

There's a difference between squad rotation and fielding a weakened team to prioritise another game. In the end they got a result so he'll claim it's worked but I see no real reason to be making so many changes.

Before winning at Wembley...

They will really fancy their chances. they played well last night and will be a real test but out of two away games I would have taken three points. we have them so anything sat would be a bonus

We’re hopeful to have one or two back. We’ll certainly have Trevoh Chalobah back after his suspension. It’ll definitely help us because it’s been pretty bare bones, as everyone knows. There’s been challenges in terms of selection and formation and style of play. Credit to the players, the way they’ve adapted has allowed us to accumulate points in a difficult situaion.
Danny Simpson wouldn’t have been considered if there hadn’t been the situation with DD [Demeaco Duhaney], who unfortunately came down with a stomach virus. When Danny is in the squad we tend to do well, so there may be something in that.
Fraizer and Lewis are progressing. You look at their work ethic and desire and the effort they put in, if you take that out of any team it’ll hurt. We’re eagerly anticipating their return.
Alex has had an injection in his knee. He did fantastically against Birmingham and Swansea and gave us that je ne sais quoi we know he can bring to the group. He felt his calf a bit to begin with and since then the knee issue he had originally has come back and it’s aggravating him to a level where he feels he can’t play his best. As a link combination player he relies on his sharpness. We’re lucky we have a great medical team and have been able to get specialist advice from a top knee surgeon, so we’re getting the right advice.
It’s an odd situation because it’s a pristine knee but there’s a cyst at the back of his knee which is causing some inflammation and quite a lot of pain. We’re trying to reduce the size of the cyst and numb some of the pain. We’re hopeful that will resolve the situation. I’ve been manager of this football club for over 90 days and i’ve been able to start us twice, which is killing us.
It’s seven days from the injection [we’d expect it to take effect]. We need to let the cortisone crystalise and do what it does and then we can get him back on the grass.

Who's closest to coming back?
Good question. Lewis and Fraizer are in a race and will be back at similar times, which will hopefully be Saturday.
Collin is getting close too, let’s not forget about him. I like Collin, he’s always smiling. I can tell how happy he is by counting his teeth. There will be a trip back to Germany for him to see the surgeon just to give the OK that he can push on but from what we’ve seen this end he’s looking good.
Jaden is also making good strides and he’s not too far away at all - a week, ten days.

Just read the Press Conference notes and have to say that the way Cowley speaks is truly refreshing. He has my complete philosophy on a sporting dressing room, but he is in the fortunate position of been able to refresh and mould his own.
I actually think he will end up more successful than Wagner here, which would be amazing, Wagner came in to the perfect storm and managed to engage the group from Day 1, Cowley came into the perfect shit storm and with 90 days has given everyone the option to buy in, made judgement about individuals and most impressive of all seems to have managed to push those out that havent bought in without massively pushing their noses out of place. Probably just an honest conversation, with a straight opinion.
He is definitely a slow burner, but makes steps each day, Jan came in to a shit storm and whipped it up, Phil H seemingly came into a shit storm and whipped it up, Cowleys have managed to quell the storm and we are now looking towards the sunshine.
I like the ethos that they promote, its very refreshing, its not just about ability, its about attitude, commitment and care about Huddersfield Town, and thats what the fans want to see. He talks about wonderful human beings, family, positives. Very wagneresq, but slightly more homely and English.
Looking forward to a busy transfer window, 5 out already, and presumably the opportunity for more, and then a few in to freshen things up and prepare for the push next season.
Starting to get a Wagner feeling now, and looking forward to what the next couple of years could bring.
UTT
