I think this is our biggest remaining game.

Hmm... I can see where you are coming from but wigan are not in the best of form and even when they were we beat them 3-0.

In terms of crunch games we have to keep the run going til the end of the season so every game is vital. Chelski and also Charlton away could be the big games 4 points out of those 2 will see us up to 4th or 5th. Liverpool will probably be the most difficult.

Come on the Rovers

[Quack]

Wigan are good away from home, Rovers are good at home - therefore I am going for a score draw, 2-2.

[Bondi-Rover]

3-0 to Rovers. Bellamy hatrick.

I thought Savage's comment the other day was very good. "Me and Tugay are complete opposites - He has skill and ability, and I'm pretty good looking"

[DavidMailsTightPerm]

This is a monster game - at least until we play Portsmouth

Realistically - if we win this game it takes Wigan out of the UEFA equation (unless ours and Bolton's form slumps dramatically it will be too much for them to make up).

However - this is a far more difficult match than people are assuming. We have left ourselves open at the back against (so called) lesser teams at home. We have to treat Wigan with the respect that there forward line deserves - and be patient. I expect to see Robbie and Pongo back in the starting line up - with Reid being moved to the right. On paper we have a far better team - but Camara and Roberts could punish us on the break. As always the first goal will be so important.

[ABBEY]

5-0!

[Radagast]

We really have to slip up sooner or later and with other results going our way at the weekend it would be just typical if it were to happen tonight. Not feeling too confident.

[wozaup]

I will be on the big screen tonight, being interviewed about my up and coming Kilimanjaro trek and obviously the shirt asppeal for the childrens home in Tanzania.

This is a monster of a game.

We have to win really if we have any ambitions to snatch fourth place.

We are now going into the business end of the season with something positive to play for after a couple of years of struggle, if that doesn't motivate the stragglers to come along nothing will.

For the players sake I hope a couple of thousand extra turn up tonight.

The prospect of Europe excites me and tonights game will be a real cracker. Wigan, as somebody mentioned, play the game in the right way. They have good English players dotted about, they have an English manager who tells it as it is and play attacking football. It all points towards one hum-dinger of a game.

I am going to try and enjoy it, but something tells me we are heading for a nervy evening.

Can't call this one - it could go either way. I will make one prediction. Both sides wil have had the lead at one stage or another.

[ABBEY]

Which way?

I've never known so many twitchin' sphincters since the night before we played Burnley that April!

[Ozz]

Wigan V Rovers at Ewood. I would be disappointed if we don't win by three goals.

And here is this weeks UNUSUAL PHOTO OF THE OTHER TEAMS MANAGER

Paul shortly before his shift on the door at Maximes.

I think it will be down to our defence tonight as to if we get the 3 points.

Personally I think we should stick with Nelson and Kishvilli (forgive the spelling) as todd may not have the speed to match Roberts and cammara

[AggyBlue]

Hopefully Todd will play and we'll defend a bit deeper to deny their speedsters the space behind the back four.

3 - 1 to us

I feel really confident in our boys at the moment and i think they will see what a big game this is and go on to win it.

Im expecting a good, quick game tonight. Rovers to come out on top though.

3-1, bellamy to score 1st - 33/1 with ladbrookes

Have I missed something?

[Hughesy]

18,000 against Boro. Dont think you have missed anything, maybe the club just missed adding a few numbers on!

[Lee]

there were the same number of home fans against Boro this season as there were against them last season. The difference being the number of away fans.

So how did the Club keep a count on the numerous fans who slipped past the turnstiles that weren't working? Did the stewards count them all in their heads?

[Lee]

They were still asked to present their tickets Simon.

It appeared in our section that people were SHOWING their tickets but not actually handing anything in.

[RevidgeBlue]

Expect an attendance around the 20,000 mark

Anyway, looks like there should be no similar controversy tonight. Seems tonight's official attendance figure was decided at lastc week's Board meeting!

[bboy]

we will win but with won't be easy i'm off to the game hopefully with 19,999 otheres but what has shocked me is how low the odds are for us to win.
