Wigan are the only other club in this League I'm particularly bothered about. I quite rightly picked them out as the biggest threat to promotion from Day zero. The problem is who's likely to be the 2nd biggest? I'm not convinced in the slightest that Shrewsbury will.

Wigan have proven before they can handle this league (recent promotion) and they don't have that negative cloud constantly hanging over the club. Quite possibly they have a better manager as well as he's "up and coming" with no failures...yet. The thing with Mowbray is while I have severe doubts about him at Championship level the L1 doubts aren't quite so high.

I don't think people should be getting out pitchforks either but those of a concessional mentality are so quick to ram the message down people's throats. 

Its December and embarrassing enough to be in same league as likes of Shrewsbury to begin with. I know some people care about the other results but Rovers need to take care of themselves. That's what failed to happen last season not because of the final day or blaming Huddersfield.

That's how I feel. 1 crap result and the sky is falling, Mowbray out, let's all kill ourselves and so on. We may win the next game 10-0, Shrewsbury might drop like a stone................Let's wait a while before we inflate the rubber dinghies.

Were Wigan one of the few teams we were better than last season...

Good job we have improved then

TM ballsed it up early season but every credit to him he put it right and Dack has proved worth his faith and the money.

Whittingham however was a shocker of a signing or a misguided one at best someone with some legs and actual desire would make a big difference alongside Smallwood for a multitude of reasons but seems we will be stuck rotating between him and the made of candyfloss enigma that is Evans.

Neither live up to their reputations or wages for me. The engine room is halfway there with Ritchie being an upgrade (in lower league obv) on Lowe but an inspired signing in there could pull it all together a bit more imo.

There are a lot of heavy colds going round up here tbf. I myself have just recovered from a heavy dose of man flu which was probably worse than ebola and childbirth combined.

See Birmingham's manager already under serious pressure and there's even speculation they sacked him then changed their mind. Perhaps its mean to blame Lowe as he's hardly played but he really is a managers graveyard. Everywhere the man goes there's nothing but misery.

We need another centre half in January and a fast winger. Get on it Tony 

Do we really need another centre half? Depends on how long it will take for lenihan to get up to speed I suppose. Mowbray must have no faith in Wharton at all if he favours the beyond awful elliot ward

Miss an open goal and a penalty and you don't deserve to win. Squandered 2 points today but we have to move on. Wigan 7 nil up as I own this. ?☹️

They play each other Boxing Day so we'll make back ground somewhere if we beat Rochdale.

Hooray 

Not feeling too confident of that win mind you, if we do win though any result in the other game is a good one

Unfortunately that's part of the reason I don't focus that much on other results. Then again I'm not being all bleak and anticipating a defeat either.

Yes the most clinical penalties are pretty much impossible to save but at least the BBC report claims he was "superbly thwarted". I would be more annoyed if he missed Jaap Stam style.

Awful penalty ..run up stop ..soft side foot ..trying to bluff the keeper ..that softly hit the keeper saves with one hand and the ball doesnt even rebound back out .

Annoyingly I remember Conway at Brentford last season just smashing it and making it really hard to save, he should have been taking that as captain
