And that ladies & gentleman is the kick start to a poor run of form…you heard it hear first…loosing today should bother people a lot more than it does.

Trying to be positive but heads will drop & we all know what happens with Mowbray in charge

We MUST get a reaction next week. 

That's the fear.  

We'll have a good idea after the next game whether we have a top 6 shout  or whether we'll be 14th in May.

Could say Ayala have given Pears a kicking and we used an injured keeper sub?

Absolute disaster of a day.

A loss

A goalkeeping horror show worse than any I've ever seen

Injuries to 1 key player and another who perhaps isn't as key but still needed in Gallagher. Sure Van Hecke was limping too?

Wasn't gonna have a drink but hell fire after that 😳

Van Hecke took a kick to win the FK we scored from. I assume he'll be fine.

Because we’d used all 3 subs

We had 5 subs available

If Kaminski had played today, we win that, it's that simple.

Pears redeemed himself a bit with those clean sheets, although like I said before he didn't have to do tons to earn them. But after that, no, I don't ever want to see him play for us again.

He's okay when the players around him are playing well. Unfortunately they were all fucking hopeless.

I honestly think he is carried by those around him

At no point in todays game did he do anything impressivd

[neophox]

Khadra should start every game.... he's way better than Dolan or Gallagher.... Brereton maybe back to Brereton for two games now...need to get Diaz back...

[AllRoverAsia]

Mowbray has not won an FA Cup tie since the telephone was invented or at least during the lifespan of Windows 10

[simongarnerisgod]

you can excuse one mistake but three from a professional goalkeeper is frankly just not on,does he do it in a crucial league match,yes he most certainly does if he gets the call up,mowbray should do what ferguson did with taibi,get rid quietly before he does more damage

‘It’s deja vu all over again…”

He’s remembered for only  making one howler in a game. And it still wasn’t as bad as that second goal..

I agree with you re Travis. He has regressed and badly.

Hate to say it but I called it even before the game 🤣 sorry. Really hope I'm wrong.

I was getting pelters for saying he's lucky to be a pro...

 

Keeper is a joke character 

And you’d deserve pelters too…

Lucky to be a pro? Have a word with yourself he’s been awesome in his first season and a half, he has off days which is to be expected but he’s a cracking talent 

[lraC]

Earlier posts from some people suggest we spike play fringe players. That team wins that comfortably with the first choice keeper. Bad for confidence that result and wrong that 4,000 had to witness that.

Well the only problem with that is we had 5 subs today

And could have moved Rothwell between the sticks and been better off

If that was a goalkeeper for a North West Counties league team I’d stilll say it was embarrassing.

 A semi-pro keeper wouldn't make a mistake like that, and neither would most amateurs

It was unforgiveable. I've never seen anything like it

Give him his P45

He was absolutely shit today. As bad a performance as I have ever seen recently.

[Hasta]

Presuming Luton beat Harrogate that’s a free weekend coming up.

Don't agree, sorry.  I'll stand by my original view.  He was released for a reason for nowt

[oldjamfan1]

Who’s gonna be the first to make some sort of ‘Wigan Pears’ joke?

Oh, me then….

[neophox]

Sadly we rested Thomas today and it made the difference.

And there's the thing. 4,000 fans made the trip to see that rubbish. I do feel sorry for them. I'd be fuming

[AllRoverAsia]

I know as a Rover I should dislike Burnley but in reality I fecking detest Wigan.

Always have since we first played them mid 80s. Always been a shithouse team.

[matt83]

4th consecutive year of 3rd round knockouts. I just hope that’s where our season traditions end and there’s no new year death spiral.
