Anyone else really nervous about this game?

I shudder with the thought that we will have Owens, Dawson and Walsh defending on the same side again. I still have the images of Ablett scoring on the half time buzzer...

Wigan have been defending well and I think we will struggle to break them down. We struggled to break down a Leeds team in the second half and they couldn't defend for toffee.

Good Friday losing streak to continue I reckon.

The problem with that is we need to start well, for the first 20mins we need tight defence and good discipline, Burns doesn't contribute to any of these.

I think defending in the middle suits Burns. His lack of mobility gets shown up on the edges, but that's not such a problem in the middle. He's also aggressive and can put a shot on. His discipline is an issue, so it does carry some risk, but I don't think it's as crazy an idea as was being made out.

If you want to start well you start your best players. I don't see the value in saving Roby. Especially after last week! We had all this bs with McIlorum starting for England because he's hard. I think it was proved to be flawed when England tried that. Roby is our best player and should therefore be on the pitch for as long as possible...i.e. From the start!!

Also, to finally bring Fages into this game is just crackers. He should have played vs Wakefield, but he now has to find his feet in his first Derby? I thought he was a project: would you throw your project into this sort of game for his debut?

I'm glad he has finally played him at 6, but it's only because turner is out?

I can see him finding a place for Burns as back up as he still doesn't have full confidence in playing Fages on his own.

Is Turner out? He is in the 19 and if unless I am behind the times KC will again start him at S/O.
Fages to lose out or be on the bench
