Personally I'd have rather seen a much weaker side. Wet conditions will be tiring. Even if we don't pick up an injury it was an opportunity to rest some first team players. 

If we pick up an injury or two here it could derail our season. Any other season and yes. Go for it. Not this season.

We never have before under Venkys or Mowbray.

Good to see a strong team.

Rest? we don't play again for a week.

Injuries? they happen in any game or any training session

[SuperBrfc]

Good to see us put a stronger side out than expected. I didn't fancy us to get through with a much changed 11.

It looks like a 3-4-3 with the old Gallagher right, Dolan central and Diaz on the left, setup to me. Hope that is wrong and Gally is down the middle instead.

Me too, the league matters more, the Cup is just a distraction from that which matters most, promotion. I'd have given Browne a baptism of fire and rested Buckley, he looks tired.

[Gav]

Well the manager isn't taking the fans for granted and is clearly taking the cup seriously.

Very strong side out today.

[Tom]

Glad it’s a strong side out, a cup run would  be useful as potentially one league game less that Diaz would miss along with Pickering

Are Rovers fans outnumbering Wigan!

Don't think it will be available on Rovers TV.

But, if you are in Australia  (physically or virtually) Channel 10 are streaming all (I Think ) FA cup games, Rovers game in schedule), on their website

10 play.com.au 

 

You have to sign up for an account to watch (its FREE, generic gmail and vpn should do it )

Wow - had no idea Channel 10 was streaming FA cup games now. That's new! 

Thanks a lot for the tip - already got an account anyway so all good. 

[Miller11]

Big worry today is an injury happening. Seems like it happens frequently against Wigan. I worry for our midfield three.

They might slip in the shower at home and do themselves an injury or be involved in a car accident on the way to training.

No point worrying about it.

Todays game is on super sports variety 1 (no idea what country that is) if anyone has access to that.

Where does Wharton’s brother play? Ain’t a right back is he ?!?!? 😬😁

[Chris Whittys Barber]

Strong team and good odds 29/20. I'm on.

 

[simongarnerisgod]

edun is ok in the middle but he`s a bit of a bombscare at full back🤔

[bluebruce]

Think it's a bit poor not to start Butterworth tbh. The lad is going to start thinking he isn't rated. Don't see why BBD is being risked.

Erm I must have wrong information here, Dolan as captain?? And at right back?? This streamer must be confused....

Midfielder.

[Josh]

Anyone but Travis 🤣

[simongarnerisgod]

i hope we see the very highly rated ash phillips later on,by all accounts he`s supposed to be a bit special

[Gordon Gekko]

Dolan right wing back?

Should have taken a touch to steady himself too. But yeh entirely the wrong lad for it to land with.

Unlikely though unless we go into a commanding lead I think.
