Wolves look shocking, Wigan are like Rovers in some ways, good going forward, not quite as good at the back. How do we see Wolves situation.. I like McCarthy as a character but the Wolves fans were screaming 'you don't know what you're doing' and getting on his back only a fortnight or so ago and the mood was darkening prior to the goal just now.

I agree, Wigan do remind me of Rovers in many ways. We play better stuff than Wigan, though, IMO. Defensively we're better too (in terms of players). If any club is going to finish below us this year it'll be Wigan, unless Whelan decides to sack Martinez and get a manager in who plays Allardyce-style football to scrape enough points to survive.

Probably right , the fear is they sack Martinez and get a street fighter in .... Mark Hughes may go to Wigan ? That would put the cat among the pigeons ..

Martinez is a good person, but he should have taken the Villa job when offered. His style of football will only ever have limited success at a team like Wigan. They just don't have the personnel or the money to play like Martinez wants them to play and be consistantly successful.

Them and us are almost dead certs to fill 2 of the relegation spots, but who gets the other one? My bet is on one of the promoted teams... QPR, perhaps. Could be Swansea or Norwich if either goes on a Hull/Blackpool/Burnley-esque horror-run of form. I think Wolves will be okay, they've got a goodun in Mick McCarthy and a good enough squad to keep them up.

al Habsi producing one of the performances of the season despite being 3-1 down.

Meantime the PL table looks ever sicker for Rovers.

17 Everton 10 -4 10

18 Blackburn 11 -11 6

A touch misleading Philip, pointing out Everton's game in hand. Fulham too have a game in hand on 10 points but Sunderland have the same games as us on 10 points.

Still grim reading mind.

Great win for Bolton today, Stoke are not mugs (midweek away game in Europe or not). Even with a 5-0 win they are still in the relegation zone but they've proven that they can win and win big today.

If anything today's results have made the next game away at Wigan even more important for us.

Fulham look good (second half) against Spurs, could easily be 2-2 at present instead of 1-2.
