[Archived] Wigan Vs Blackburn Rovers

[RibbleValleyRover]

Might need Phil Jones back soon, defense all over the place in these last few games.

[brfcjon]

at least we are playing good and entertaining football under the new regime huh....

[danielwhite813]

Conceding four against wigan is shocking.

[magicalmortensleftpeg]

Someone get Roberts off. The worst player Rovers have had in 8 years. Ashamed to have him in our side.

[Rovermatt]

F***ing disgrace. Wigan are terrible and we've just rolled over.

[jimw1988]

4 goals conceded to a terrible Wigan team!My God thats a disgrace!Looking down rather than up im afraid!

[Iceman]

(Please don't use that word again) this ######, again the condition of the pitch should have seen us xhange our style of play. yet again Kean has failed with tactics

[Dan]

Our ###### forwards need to learn how to stay onside. I can't see how we are going to get 2 goals with Roberts and Diouf upfront, they are both pretty useless.

[doctorryan]

Terrible offsides call.

The pitch isn't the problem. Wigan aren't launching the ball from back to front 90% of the time, they have shown you can short pass and move on this surface.

[G Somerset Rover]

Just seen that Wigan had scored 12 at home in 13 games this season before today.

You wanted entertaining football Mrs Woman.

Maybe we should bring number 17 on???

[rebelmswar]

This was always on the cards after what has happened. The minds are on other things.

[shraffy]

poor offside call - mame should have been alone in on goal.

[Tom]

So far I've been a defender of Kean and co but really this is inexcusable, without seeing it you simply can't concede 4 against a team in the bottom 3 and want to stay in the league.

Lose next week and morale may be rock bottom and it will be really hard to stop the rot.

Kean has a huge task this week in getting the players heads up.

[Rovermatt]

I'm sorry but this is completely unacceptable (I suspect the owners will agree with me). To go 1 up and then blow it so spectacularly speaks to an inherent weakness that's been floating around this team all season.

[LeChuck]

This result has been coming for a long time. We've been gifting opposition teams chance after chance, it was only a matter of time before we got thumped.

I think Kean's out of his depth. If it was easy to set up teams playing 4-4-2 attacking football then every manager would do it. He needs to get street smart or we're ######.

[Pinch]

JJ will def. keep our "bad boy" tag intact. Reckless at times that lad.

[SamTheShrew]

Is this as bad a performance as Ince at Wigan?

Needs to get subbed, he is losing his head atm

I was just saying that. For example Salgado tried to pass a simple ball along the floor, it rolled then stopped dead and one of the Wigan players picked it up.

Similarly annoying is the way we get into dangerous areas then overpass it, then go backwards, then lose the ball.

I'm fast beginning to fall out with Mr Kean. He's sticking to his tactics that rigidly he's becoming like the anti-Sam.

[Darwen Rover]

MB Diouf.. you donkey!!!

[tony gale's mic]

Really good to see us playing such open, expansive football these days...

[Dan]

How ###### is Diouf, absolutely rubbish at finishing and his first touch has always been awful. These two things are why he'll never be a top player.

[ptholt]

radio rovers still trolling out the bad pitch stuff, this is lancashire in Feb and Wigan are on the same pitch arent they?

terrible shot by diouf, no even on target, barn door shooting practise needed.
