[Archived] Wigan predictions

[RevidgeBlue]

I'd have to see it again but it looked like an absolute nothing incident to me. The two players brushed together, Wigan player goes down clutching his head like he'd been shot and Stuart Atwell pulls out a red card.

Before that I thought we looked much the better side.

Best off Williamson on.

[Stuart]

Try radio Lancs, Gallagher is commentating.

Thanks mate but it isn't available online.

[Neal]

Just get to half time and we'll have a chance. Don't rate this Wigan team. Keep shape, keep possession as much as possible, waste as much time as possible.

Gallagher just mentioned they will probably stick Holt on Lowe... That would be a certain goal.

Fingers crossed.

[Salgado Is A Hero]

Three match ban by the way. I know that in the Prem you can appeal where the ban is extended to four games if it's unsuccessful but I'm not sure about this league.

[Al]

We can do this if the players are determined. Pure guts can make up for numerical differences.

[DE.]

Going to be a difficult second half thanks to Hanley, we'll do well to escape this one with a draw.

[Tom]

One of my only criticisms of Bowyer would be his choice of subs; he played a few games without a striker on the bench and now no centre back and it could be costly

Still he is far less to blame than Hanley if he has thrown an elbow as either way it's tough away against an extra man

[Doug]

Hanley does have a Todd like temper. Hope his stupidity doesn't cost us too dearly.

This half will be a real nailbiter!

[darrenrover]

Half time, regroup and keep shape as best we can second half.

If we frustrate Wigan, we still have the outlets in King and Rhodes to nick another.

Listening to both Five Live Extra and Rovers player simultaneously, it's like 2 different games!

Come on Rovers, make it 3 in 3!

[DE.]

The guy on BBC Five Live repeats his name every 2 minutes or so, it's really irritating. Haven't listened to radio commentary in years but am assuming it's not normal. I don't care what your name is you biased @#/?, just call the game.

[Tom]

BBC saying Jake Kean MotM so far. Sounds like he's kept us in it since Hanley was sent off.

If we can get a few shots on target, even from long range, I'm sure Carson is bound to cock up again. Aside from the first 15-20 minutes he hasn't really been tested but he sounds like he's mucking up when called upon.

Let's hope this is Keans customary mistake done with for the day:

@OneRovers: 45mins: Watson's corner is spilled by Kean, the ball bounces onto the foot of the post and back into his hands. 0-1

[Amo]

Playing with ten men isn't the problem. It's whether our pack has been shuffled sufficiently. Not too confident with Lowe at centre-back. Don't know why Spurr couldn't play there and have Lowe/Kane or Kane/Morris at full-back.

[pick32]

Think kings pace could nick us a goal on the counter.

[Tom]

If Hanley has elbowed him he needs to be fined the absolute maximum possible

A third win on the bounce going into the break would be huge and he has put that in severe doubt

[donnermeat]

Spurr started out as a centre half so I see no reason why he shouldn't be playing there for the rest of the game.

[otto man]

Hanley sent off. Kean sake. Our players always do this when we seem to be doing well.

Really? Tell me the last time this happened when we were playing well.

[DE.]

Really? Tell me the last time we were playing well.

good point, it's been years.

I agree, also think Lowe's energy in the middle will be missed now Wigan have the extra man

[RevidgeBlue]

Atwell just missed or ignored the most blatant penalty for handball imaginable. Wigan player blocked shot with fully outstretched arm.

[DE.]

Good break but we failed to capitalise. We really need to make the most of these opportunities with ten men.

[Ianrally]

Really suprised they haven't thrown Holt on to test our new back four.

[RevidgeBlue]

Really? Tell me the last time this happened when we were playing well.

Tuesday night?

[SAMCRO]

How much is wigan paying this ref?

[DE.]

Really suprised they haven't thrown Holt on to test our new back four.

Ask and you shall receive, he just came on.

[otto man]

No! Don't be so soft, let's decapitate him and sell his children into slavery(assuming he has any that is) You do realise that he's on OUR team don't you? Or do you always surrender your team mates so easily?
