[Archived] Rovers v Wigan

[G Somerset Rover]

Even by our standards, the midfield looks disjointed today.

Our midfield would see that as a compliment.

[Messi422]

I only remember last time that we win with a totally different performance in the second half is against Portsmouth last season

[Kelbo]

Very poor first half. We are lucky to go in on level terms after that wrongly disallowed goal. Big changes need to be made in the second half.

Is a second half performance possible? I think so as a draw is not what we should be looking for from this game so in theory we have nothing for Sam to tell us to sit back on. They will be getting a rollocking at half time and hopefully be better for it.

Pedersen and Emerton have both looked absent and poor respectively with Mame Diouf creating opportunities for himself only to make a complete hash of it each time. Goulon? Dunn? Something must change in the centre of the park.

In terms of Wigan. Any chances they've created have all been down their left flank. Salgado is not really coping with N'Zogbia. Cut him out the game and we cut Wigans main attacking threat.

Heres to a better second half and three valuable points

NZogbia is looking good because right midfield Mame Diouff is not giving Salgado protection, thats his job!!

things are dire wene you have to admit wigan are streets ahead of us football wise.

There aren't any teams other than maybe West Ham that are behind us! I wonder what the expert will say at half time.

Also can we please stop the long throws?!! It's worked maybe ONCE in BFS's time here :=(

[joey_big_nose]

We need to change something. I suppose that means Dunn. No one on the bench looks like they can make much of a difference.

If we don't win this one I think we it is time to seriously worry.

[Amo]

Dunn for Mame Diouf.

[Mc Love]

is Grella not on the bench?

[RibbleValleyRover]

Wigan ripping us apart at the start of the second half.

[Nelsta]

good chance there, unlucky peders.

[Rover Down Under]

Outstanding cross by Emerton, great header by Gamst and Wigan keeper just in the right place. Build on that lads.

[Iceman]

I think its time we look at replacing Sam. I know he did well keeping us up, but his football is more than capable of taking us down as well. Its seriously worrying, that Wigan are rippping us apart on our own home ground.

[Robin]

Robbo keeps us still in the game....

[hollowsr]

We need a bit of pace in midfield, it's all one pace throughout!

[BuckyRover]

Love you Peds!

[AndyB]

Goal

[Nelsta]

[American Rover12]

[The Dart]

[unclejack28]

Get in.....................

[Tom]

Never doubted morten

[hollowsr]

We all knew you could do it Gamst, none of us ever doubted you.... oh no not ever

[ben_the_beast]

Pedersennnnn What a delivery. Lets not let this go. Build on it!!

[Rover Down Under]

Unbelievable! Pedersen utterly stunning free kick from 25 yards. That's why he starts, cos he can do things like that!

[hollowsr]

1st 2nd half goal at Ewood
