The third edition of the fans `Hopes and Fears` sees Wigan Athletic supporter Danny Latham, better known on Vital Latics as lathamwafc giving his thoughts on the coming season now that summer is drawing to a close, over to you lathamwafc:
Hopes
That the team Gel and the defence gets sorted out, Bramble was a rock last season but in the St. Mirren game he looked no more than a bit of gravel.
Fears
Relegation, if we are getting hit on the Break against teams like Norwich how badly will we do against Man u, Chelsea etc. Its okay to play 'Sexy Football' if you cant stop them from scoring.
Key Player
Jordi Gomez, He looks a class act, skillfull, quick and we know he can score goals from his Swansea days, he looks like he could be that spark our attacks so desperatly need.
Predictions
Premier League - 10th
Carling Cup - Final win
FA Cup - 5th round
Player of the year - Jordi Gomez or Chris Kirkland
Flop of the year - Lee Cattermole or Titus Bramble
Convict of the year - Should be Gerrard but he plays for Liverpool so it will have to be Marlon King
Well there you go a trophy in the cabinet, a top ten finish and our two best players flops of the season.
