Ah, we always play better in the second half. Concerning we will need to do it without the main man though 

Feels like some of this team's players have been getting away with riding Dack's coattails this year. Time to see what some of these players are really worth. I'm looking at the likes of Bennett, Graham, Evans and Smallwood in particular.

Game for Whittingham to earn his corn.  Need someone in the middle to put their foot on it and pick a pass.   Hook either Evans or Smallwood

Was just going to say it.

Totally. How man games as he got us out of jail? The others need to show they are up to it now 

[Husky]

2 guilt edged opportunities missed right before half time. No matter the overall display we could and should be 2 up.

This is a pretty typical performance under Mowbray, but normally we have Dack on the pitch to do something special. Time for somebody else to step up. 

Exactly sir! Poor performances rescued by either Dack or Mulgrew have been the norm this season.

[Stuart]

We played the Dackless part of that half just like the Mulgrewless one earlier in the season.

Need to shake it off, be ruthless and get the win.

frustrating first half...

we were passing to zones where we expected players to be (but weren't)

fkin wake up.!

[Gogger]

How bad is Williams at heading the ball? 

[Vinjay]

Well have the opposition XI been as threatening going forward as the last home game? I suppose that's a plus point if little else. Just sounds like Rovers v typical generic L1 outfit have to at least believe the 2nd half will get better. At least in an attacking sense (at least 2 guilt edged opportunities are still actually opportunities) though obviously a defeat would be worse than anything.

Another miss, looking on the bright side we have Samuel on the bench,  how? why?

[Lihamylly]

[Tom]

its been coming this half, a bit of quality from Armstrong, Bennett and Conway

[G Somerset Rover]

Get in Danny lad!!!

Please now do not sit back. We need to get a second and put this one to bed.

[philipl]

Now keep it tight and protect this lead

[Miker]

What a goal. I said the other day Conway would be the man to play a key role in these last few games and he's shown that now. Fantastic assist!

[USABlue]

OOOOPS, and right on time Wigan get a 3rd,

I'll take it.  Clean sheet.lads, oh wait we better score a couple more.  What a friggin relief.  This is way too stressful

Graham has been tremendous for most of the season. Just pleased for Conway to be back after a fairly long lay off and making important contributions in our last few games.

Hopefully in 25 minutes' time.
