Another rubbish performance managed by the clueless Fat Controller. Get Graham Potter in now

 

 

 

bit harsh calling someone clueless when your calling for a manager way above the level you could attract to replace him

It was apparent at the weekend - his fingerprints are all over that Sunderland team this year. It's beautiful to see.

[Rovers Return]

Great result and fantastic to see our reserves score four. I really hope that if we get loan signings in, they are better than what we already have and we don’t neglect our young lads in favour of developing half reasonable premier league youth team players.

Sunderland beaten by Crewe.
Preston beaten by Salford.

Literally our 3rd string GK who won't play again for the first team this season, our 4th choice CB who was out injured all last year, an 18 year old LB making his 2nd / 3rd senior appearance, our 3rd choice LW etc etc.

They're always tough fixtures - we brought on a few first teamers to sure it up at the end, but the result is all that matters. Those aforementioned players got a good run out too, which will only benefit them.

Gilsenen was brilliant tonight. He deserves a place on the bench Vs Rotherham. Got MOTM too.

[JPTSwindon]

Entertaining win, with everyone who would benefit from match experience getting a chance.  Roll on the 2nd round.

[RoversClitheroe]

What about Adam Wharton?

Is he a No.10?

Only seen him in clips but does look quite tall and skilful

Wigan knocked out by Wrexham.

[Exiled_Rover]

Wigan bottled it on pens too. 

[philipl]

Perfect evening.

First eleven mostly rested except for battening down at the end.

Five full debuts.

Three players get their first senior goals for the club

Nobody injured as far as we know

Exciting game helped me forget there were no pictures, no audio and www.rovers.co.uk minute by minute failed in the 21st minute!

[Polky]

Ex-Rover Luke Brennan came on for Wigan in the second half.
