It's not a case of 'manning up' if everybody drops deep because that's how Mowbray has set the team up. If you drop deep you have to have someone up front who can get hold the ball. Antonsson is the worst player I've seen in a long time at holding it up.

I do agree Blueboy ..but we ve only made two changes why do we have to sit deep.No reason why we cant step forward ten yards ..Conway can still get forward and put them on the back foot. just needs to sort his final delivery out !

Mowbray overthinks things. Football when it's played well is a simple game. . 

Is it that Danny Graham's legs just aren't upto it these days.

At least with the lack of height up front the ball won't continually be pumped up into the air.

It's was certainly heavy last week wonder how old the referee is as he runs from box to box for the full ninety minutes plus.

Shrewsbury losing - that will gee Wigan up even more. It should gee us up as well but it wont.

[skous18]

bbc is givin 62% possession for Rovers

[AdamRochina]

We started well but Wigan coming into it now a little bit 

[OJRovers]

Antonson couldn't control a bag of cement 

[Preben]

Great tackle by Williams

[Tormund]

Woke up this morning feeling fine, can’t get the Rovers off my mind, Mowbray’s got us playing the way we should........oh wait

[AdamRochina]

Seems Wigan are going down under any bit of pressure always nagging the ref too , they have also completely took over this game 

[Tom]

Just seen the team and really surprised that Graham has dropped to the bench and no Nuttall in the squad 

[skous18]

30mins gone and no shots toward the goal yet. sounds like a boring game

[AdamRochina]

He was about to let that freekick go! But Wigan players screamed at ref and player stayed down so ref booked our play

[Husky]

Wigan realising that Rovers are on the nick a point plan have now taken over the game.

[Gogger]

Ref awfull, Antonsson even worse. Cant Get in front og defenders and hold the ball.

I think that's why the iFollow commentator left after 15

[JacknOry]

I really want to know the reasoning for dropping Graham.

[J*B]

Bold from Mowbray. Can only assume he’s going for the Mourinho approach and a 0-0. A loss and it’s bad news.

Indeed. If you're playing one up top away from home in the hope of nicking something, then your striker must be capable of holding the ball up and being strong. At a minimum. Antonsson not suited to this plan.

[OJRovers]

Might as well be playing 4-6-0 

[AdamRochina]

This is painful   we have no outlet up top can't keep the ball ..Wigan in control now and getting closer
