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

Yep - they’re too defensive as a pairing. We’ve been so pedestrian - don’t look quick on the counter at all. Come on boys, let’s get going!

[AdamRochina]

making 1 win in 32 away games wigan look goood,  we need to step it up

[mick]

Armstrong is shocking so far. 

[joey_big_nose]

We're really missing Tosin. Can't hold onto the ball. 

[mick]

Absolutely no cohesion. It’s like Rovers think they’re just out for a practice. 

[RoversClitheroe]

Armstrong looks lost. Tactic we are doing pass it to Nyambe and sprint. Currently not working

Almost all of them have been shocking so far. No movement in attack or defence.

[Bigdoggsteel]

In undercooked when the chips are down. 

Truly awful 

[Adam C]

We’re struggling out there, can’t get a grip on this game and when we go forward we’re cut open with quick pressing and accurate passing. Their final ball has so far thankfully been lacking and Walton and lenihan have managed to keep us clear so far. Walton very well out of the box for a clearance, he’s impressed me recently. 

[darrenrover]

Evans and Travis are far too deep. 

 

[AdamRochina]

only one team in it right now,  shocking by rovers so far, really really poor

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.

[Bigdoggsteel]

I would say they look a cert to score first. 

This is embarrassing 

Come on!!!

[USABlue]

As expected.so far, we are.crap.

[RTM08]

Jesus... quarter of the way through the game and 0 shots vs 6 at home to the worst team in the league.

This is exactly why promotion is very unlikely to happen under Mowbray

[Bigdoggsteel]

Having William's there makes a huge difference 

And not in a good way 

[G Somerset Rover]

Jesus Christ we’re making them look like Pep’s Barcelona. Get a foot on the ball FFS.

[CrouchingNunhiddenCucumber]

Oh how I have missed Williams aimless chips forward to no one in particular.

We need to find a different way to get forward cos nyambe is having no luck out there at all. Evans and Travis in the middle aren’t capable of creating much either and without tosin we struggle to pass it out from the back. Not looking good so far.... no shots yet for us and all the possession is for Wigan ?

[LDRover]

Haven't got the players to cope with a press, we need to hit Graham and work off that

Not without tosin 

[Husky]

Hmmmm. This is pretty bad.

You really can't tell which team is bottom. A proper Championship game.

[Blue blood]

The only positive in an appalling half is that Walton is looking solid and having a good game. Not a fan of his but he's our best player out there at the moment. 

[RTM08]

6 players around the ball for the second bounce... zero attempt to even chase.

This is auch a lazy performance.

[47er]

Its West Ham all over again!!
