Really hope Dack gets a goal after the stick he’s got from Wigan fans over the last few years

Do well with his 5 minutes from the Bench 😳

Of course I'm joking.

Sometimes, when one lives abroad, one loses one's British sense of humour. I know I did when I was abroad for 7 years.

OK, good to know. I've not lost my sense of humour, but there are at times some odd posts on here that leave me scratching my head.

Did you know ESPN dies an On Demand where you can see the game after the fact.  Just found this out will save me a bundle in missed wages.

Yes I did.

I'm not one for watching matches after the fact though. The tension isn't there, and by the time I'd get around to it it would be pointless and highlights will do.

Condescending. Probably written by a southerner

I wouldn't cross the road to watch a Champions League match but a would for a Championship match - especially a Lancy derby

We have to break the WL cycle sometime and we haven't won at Wigan in donkey's years - so against the odds and my glass half empty nature let's go for a Rovers win

Wigan 1 Rovers 2

This is a tough one to call. Will we be left seething again after another lacklustre display after another frustrating night where the players don't show up and the manager continues with a system that doesn't work for the entire game or will we go there and put things right, play some lovely football and kick on?

Sick of going to bed on these nights and being pissed off trying to get to sleep.

It's a project... Very similar to the last 4 years journey we've been on.

[CrouchingNunhiddenCucumber]

Hoping for a Blackpool type performance in front of the cameras, no idea what to expect though really.

Controversial comment...I kinda enjoyed the journey 😬

W*gan Athletic 1 - 3 Rovers

Nyambe (4)

                                 BBD (42) (P)
                                 Hirst (87)
                                 Dack (90+3)

 

Its written the stars that Nyambe played a bazillion games for us with no goal and the first game against us he scores.

[Dan]

Wigan 0 Rovers 1 Nyambe OG.

Thats all conjecture, my eyes don't deceive me watching us live week in week out.

This side has been hammered several times so far this season, worse than anything I've seen in recent years (Including Fulham) especially Sheff Utd away and Luton, Cardiff was poor too, we never laid a finger on Bristol City home either. 

Right now we are weaker than we've been in a long time in my opinion, the manager needs time to rebuild and its some building job he's got!

We won 2 games in 17 under Mowbray the season before last.

We have been shit in games this season but we were also shit many many times under Mowbray.

We were poor v Sheffield United and Luton but it wasn't as bad as the 7-0 v Fulham

I haven’t made my prediction yet, only to find, ALAS! Dan made it for me! 😂

I have to go on record with my own prediction, I’m no thief. We haven’t had a tie yet, it doesn’t give me a warm fuzzy, but, 

1-1. 

Prove me wrong, Rovers.

Maybe Nyambe with both the goals in a 1-1 draw? 😂

Opinions are like arseholes, we've all got them and nobody mentioned Mowbray.

This illustrates the reasonable & sensible approach to our club that is pervasive on this site. 

Thank you, DeeCee, for your thoughtful comment. 

[Sparks Rover]

Even I'm starting to feel sorry for Bucko....what has happened there.?

[Displaced Rover]

JC. Do we have a contractual obligation to play Hirst? Does JDT know we don’t HAVE to go WLWL?

[BigBar]

Is there a clause in Hirsts contract? Not casting him off this early but don't feel he warrants a start based on recent showings. Maybe JDT just rates him.

He's got a point to prove now and wish him the best and hopefully gets on the scoresheet.

[JacknOry]

A bit bemused about Brittain missing out again for a left footed forward.
