Where do you think Wigan will finish at the end of the season?
Judging by the fact we have not been at our best yet and won all 3 games, things are looking good. So perhaps in a top 2 spot

Paul Jewell
The Gaffer
Are you happy with the start made to the season?
Yes, we seem to have gone to the next step we needed to. Paul Jewell has installed belief in the players, and maybe this year could be our year


Looking ahead to Saturday, who is the player Notts fans should look out for?
Nathan "Duke" Ellington. Signed from Bristol Rovers last season, a hustly bustly centre forward, he is certainly one to watch.

Which player in the Notts County squad do you fear most?
Your strike force! Mark Stallard and Danny Allsopp are 2 quality forwards, our defence will have to be on top form to stop those 2.

How many fans are Wigan likely to bring?
I would say between 600-700 perhaps. We took around 1,000 to Cheltenham, so who knows.

Nathan
One-to-watch
Match predicition?
I think it will be a close game. I think maybe a draw, 1-1.

How do you think Notts County will do this season?
Notts County have a small squad, but within the squad you certainly have quality with the likes of Stallard, Allospp and Caskey. Looking at your financial problems, perhaps mid table would be a decent bet.
