[Archived] Rovers v Southend

[Bigdoggsteel]

Solid line up. 

They have a bit of experience in that team. Turner and Kightly both played premier league. Cox has been around too.  Not going to be easy. Hopefully we do the business 

[ChrisPriceBaldSpot]

Reckon Conway will be well up for this one after his goal against Bradford. Payne, Antonsson and Bell to make an impact later on. 

Stick with my 3-1 prediction. 

Mulgrew Armstrong and Graham with the goals

[Gone to seed]

Looks like a decent attack-minded side to me. Conway starting is a signal of intent, although I doubt whether he will last more than the hour. COYB!

Southend playing 4-5-1 acc to Rich Sharpe. An early goal for us could prove crucial or it could be a long afternoon.

Conway for Antonnson is a decent change. Maybe to counteract the threat of Kightly. Cox will have to be watched.

Yep see the logic in this one, Plus Conway still has the Class to create something as well.

With you on the early goal as well, don’t let them get confident of grinding it out 

[mrsusan]

only 1 winner here, 5-0 a real statement of intent 

[Husky]

Has time passed by so fast?

Twas a warm cloudy drunken summer's day in Blackpool when I heard we'd lost at Southend in our first 3rd tier match in almost  3decades . . .

Revenge coming today. 3-1

*Though, get your spread bets on what minutes Downing will kick the ball out of play.

[Tom]

Weirdly flat so far with them on top

Dack coming off for Payne 

[blueboy3333]

Payne on for dack

[trueblue]

Dack injured?

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

The crowd should be roaring this side on!

[AdamRochina]

Oh dear dack off ...Payne better do the business or we are fooked

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Wigan 1-0

[G Somerset Rover]

Can’t begin breaking down with injuries to our key players at this stage of the season. Hopefully it’s just a knock. Same with Lenihan.

Payne needs a performance in his favoured position now. COYB, imperative we win today here.

[perthblue02]

Just turned ifollow on, seen Dack being substitued? did he pick up an injury ?

I don't think it was a reappearance of Gaz's Tombola.

Looked like a pull of some description. Hopefully not Josh King style.

[West Yorks Rover]

• Wigan now 2-0

[Bigdoggsteel]

Did Dacks injury look serious? 

When Wigan win, they make it look easy. Always a battle for us 

[Tom]

An absolute nothing of a game so far 

Best thing is refs comedy run 

[blueboy3333]

Is it ok to say this is shyte?

[G Somerset Rover]

Got to pick up ASAP; can’t be going through the motions at home to Southend, especially when our home matches are running out. We need to make them count.

[philipl]

Half hour gone and Rovers yet to have any attempt on goal.

No that is negative and will affect the players performance, your fault if we don't win the League

Well you could use it to describe Shane Duffy's pass to give Huddersfield an equaliser.

 

Wigan 2-1
