Shot up to DW to get tickets when their TO opened. Weather has relented since then. 

 

Do we need to show a Covid Pass to enter the stadium? 

[1864roverite]

Off to a seriously wet wiggin

Off to the DW! Should be a good day despite peeing down. Stay strong and see you in round 4.

Will this be showing on the Rovers site for international viewers?

Doesn't look like like it mate. I popped over to Wigan website and read that the game is audio only. That includes overseas fans.

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 )

If Nyambe isn't in the squad we can assume that Nyambe is off.

Or it could be resting him. 

Strong side.

[alcd]

He could be one of the Covids mentioned on Thursday. 

[Gordon Gekko]

Stronger team than I expected. Would of like to have seen Butterworth starting. 
 

Whats happened to Davenport, is he injured?

[simongarnerisgod]

Yes - strangely strong side. Inclusion of BBD particularly weird. Maybe want to cup tie him? That Johnson and Butterworth don't get on is a surprise also. 

Anyway will be good watching a strong side.

Covid I think with Wharton, Carter and Nyambe. Well official account just says "unavailable". 

Personally think Nyambe is exiting the building Covid or not.

Is that Buckley at right back - surely not?

I would have expected a few more first teamers than that not to be featuring tbf.

Credit to Mowbray for playing a relatively strong side, our promotion chances won't be adversely affected by anything we do in the FA Cup, if we don't go up it'll be because we weren't good enough.

Is A. Wharton on the subs bench Scott's brother?

Yes, Adam.

[perthblue02]

Huddersfield just gone 2-1 up at Dingles 🙂

[ben_the_beast]

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.
