If GB doesn't go all out for a resounding victory we will know where his interests lay. It has to be a resounding win or nothing - unbeaten run, defeat or draw is irrelevant.

If he fails to take that approach then for me it's his last roll of the dice.

They seem to have dipped in form only just managing to beat what is currently one of the worst teams in the league at the moment and we're in great form at the minute (second in form table last time I checked). We should win this and it's a shame we aren't in the playoff places because I'd have given us a chance although I believe Derby are going up.

Didn't we fail to beat THE worst team in the Championship? Two points which would greatly have improved our chances of a top six spot.

And if Rhodes had passed to Gestede at Sheffield instead of hitting the side netting that would have been two more points. If Kean hadn't made errors against Forest and Ipswich there would have been a couple of more points there. If Hanley hadn't got sent off at Wigan another three points could have been won. The bottom line is that promotion and relegation are the result of a whole season not just one or two matches. The bottom line is that the players have not been good enough over the WHOLE season not just against Yeovil.

Personally, I have thoroughly enjoyed the second half of this season and I'm already looking forward to next season under Bowyer no matter what the result today.

You are quite right players do make errors but not deliberately. According to the Robinson interview Bowyer instructed the players not to lose the point we had. And that for me will be the fundamental difference as we are traipsing away from Ewood this afternoon.

The issue isn't individual mistakes, every team and every player makes those. The issue is the approach of the team - as dictated by the manager - especially when it has mattered, and especially at Ewood.

I agree entirely. My point was in relation to the original poster suggesting Wigan are on a slide for struggling to beat Birmingham, one of the worst sides in the league, while saying we are on a good run despite having failed to beat the worst team in division!!

The (form) table never lies.

Kind of surprised that Wigan have rested so many players, surely you want to be going into the playoffs with some momentum? It's a local game so even with the changes I can't see Rovers scoring the amount of goals they would need to and even then they need certain results to go their way.

2-0 Rovers win.
