We should put Rochina and Formica on the bench and bring them on with 20 minutes to go if we need to. Or if we're winning. Couldn't hurt.

Then Den could write them both off. :P

I had a weird feeling about this one. Without the benefit of hindsight I'd take a draw, a win would be very good though. I can't see either side keeping a clean sheet.

Despite having a ticket and an appalling away record over the last few seasons I'm strangely optimistic about this one. I've a feeling this is the year Wigan finally don't pull it out of the bag, especially with West Ham's resurgence of late, and I'm struggling to remember their last good performance.

In short it's a good time to play them, and we've been in decent form of late so it should be at least a point if not a win for us. Am not sure that loosing Williams will help the mood of the camp, but even so, hopefully we should have enough in us for the win.

It's always a great atmosphere at Wigan, (from our support anyway) and a friendly hassle free away fixture that I always try to make. Looking forward to a good afternoon out. Come on the Rovers!

2-1 Rovers: Olsson and Roberts.

Agree with all of this, people are writing Wigan off all too quickly but this game is far more important to them than it is to us.

A draw would be a decent result and I'd take it now and would leave us just 2 wins and 2 draws from safety.

Wish I was going but working overtime is more important for me today.

Should be an easy win for Steve Kean if hes got anything about him.

Didn't you say a couple of pages back that this was far from an easy game?

Sorry if I've got the wrong person.

Pretty sure he and Rochina are left out.

I'm not to concerned about Rochina as I think he's more of one for the next few years. But I am chomping at the bit to see Formica

For the next 2 to 3 weeks.

I'd been hopeful that it would be a bit of a smokescreen and we'd see him on the bench.

I'm sure one of them will make the bench against Newcastle they'll have had a couple of weeks training with the squad then.

I'd like to see one today but maybe a wet windy Wigan isn't the best introduction to the English game, or maybe it is.

ROVERS: Robinson, Salgado, Samba ©, Nelsen, Olsson, Hoilett, Emerton, Jones, Pedersen, Benjani, Roberts.

Subs: Bunn (GK), Dunn, Grella, Nzonzi, Andrews, Hanley, MB Diouf.

Why is Kalinic not in the squad ?!?!?

Hmmm so so line up, I presume Niko is injured but that front two is uninspiring.

Also is there really a need for Nzonzi, Grella and Andrews all on the bench?

Not too optimistic now I just can't see us scoring unless Hoilett does the business

I imagine Kalinic is injured then, if not then it's stupid. He needs a run of games.

Would have had Mame Diouf upfront too. Oh well, come on Rovers.

Weirdly it seems that on the Big screen at JJB it said Niko is playing but not accoriding to the Rovers site.

I think there are reservations around all of our strikers. Im glad Andrews is out. No point in arguing over it because there clearly isnt an obvious first choice line up. Anyone could name a first 11 and i guaruntee somebody else would pick holes in it.
