A draw apiece for both sides last weekend, with Fleetwood being held at home to Southend and Latics picking up a well deserved draw away at Walsall.
Not too arsed about how we get on against Middlesbrough tonight as I'm expecting another pasting from them like this time last year, so I'd be happy to see both Forte & Dunn get just the 30-45 minutes under their belt in time for Saturday. Dunn was superb when he came on at Walsall for his 25 minute cameo, and Forte did what he does best and finished clinically from his only chance - a smart finish at that. Looking forward to seeing Cassidy lead the line again - our clear MOTM at the weekend, but not sure who'll drop out.
We picked up 6pts from our games vs Fleetwood last season so I'd like to continue that trend here. We have a better squad this time around, though Fleetwood have made some shrewd signings themselves - Jimmy Ryan being the obvious one.
Prediction: Latics 2-1 Fleetwood
Forte & Jones to bag.

That's the team I'd like to see on Saturday. A really strong, technical midfield and a strikeforce where Forte can either look for Cassidy's knockdowns or run onto Dunn's throughballs.Brian Wilson - James Wilson - Jonathan Burn - Joseph Mills
