Wigan Athletic (H) - Monday Night Football (urgh..)

[Husky]

We should have enough. Just.... 2-1 Rovers.

Remember, this is a 'derby' and we are the nosebleed champions. And we literally never batter anyone, no matter what!!! It's going to be tough.

Again.

Getting really nervous for this now. Gutted Tosin isn't available, big loss! Gonna be a tight affair I think now, but I expect our substitutions to be key!!

Already said, big crowd, TV, increased interest, playing lowly team usually only means one thing for us.  A loss..

Add to that Mercs prediction and the smart money.goes.on a Wigan win.

very long queue at the ticket office.

kick off delayed ?

Probably hypothetical but I wonder if they've considered what if the bottom tier of the Blackburn End, Jack Walker Stand and Riverside all sell out? Will they open BE top tier and DE Lower to Rovers fans? 

[Husky]

"..Wigan promoted as Champions.."

Oh, that one still grates every time it's mentioned. ?

Absolutely no worries about this one.

We are playing bottom of the league Wigan with just two points from their last six matches and a -15 gd.

Does anyone seriously doubt the outcome of tonight's match?

Home banker - only question is by what goal margin.

Banged on Rovers at 4/5 and thrown in some Christmas spice with a fiver on 5-1 at 90/1.

Feet up, nice bottle of red, bring it on.

Bollox - but got 50 quid on Wigan now ?

Merry Christmas all ?

[Husky]

Man before ball there? That's a VAR pen all the way.

This ref is dangerous. Get the feeling that he’ll give a red for a soft challenge.

Everyone on here was rushing to tell me there wouldn't be a problem

[Adam C]

By amber is getting nothing down the right. Downing however has been excellent so far. I’m nervous watching this, Wigan look dangerous but lenihan has been immense so far

[Cherry Blue]

Traffic couldn't deal with premiership. 25 mins from j4

[Bigdoggsteel]

We look shite and ref looks shite

We are some team to give a sucker a even break 

Need the 1st Goal 

[CrouchingNunhiddenCucumber]

How Johnson hasn't started this is beyond me, Evans and Travis struggling. 

[AdamRochina]

we look terrible so far

[Sparks Rover]

Armstrong is all over the place in a bad way 

[Husky]

Too much rest AGAIN?

[OldEwoodBlue]

no urgency

crap so far.

[Blue blood]

Its the pressure and expectation of being favourites. We go to pieces. Vs Brentford and Bristol - far better teams than Wigan - we were fearless. Put some expectations on us and we struggle. 

[LDRover]

Second best all over the park at the minute, seriously need to up their game.

[Tom]

Just a bit lacking at the moment; second best after a big penalty call early 

Still feel we will get into gear at some point 

[philipl]

Wigan on front foot.

We are missing the Tosin authority
