Hoping for that new manager bounce for Wigan tonight

Claretitus · Post by **Claretitus** » Mon Feb 06, 2023 7:47 pm

Fingers AND toes crossed.

C'mon you Pie-Eaters!

As they used to say in the music days at Wigan Pier, let's hope they give it absolute Wigan!

It’s worrying, a Rovers win tonight and they’re only 19 points adrift

HiThere · Post by **HiThere** » Mon Feb 06, 2023 8:04 pm

It sounds like Wigan are the home team.

Worry about what that cabbage patch is going to be like by the time we play there..

It’s like watching paint dry Rovers are absolutely dreadful.

Brereton Diaz off to Villareal, apparently.

Bowclaret · Post by **Bowclaret** » Mon Feb 06, 2023 8:26 pm

How did we only put 3 past this load of c rap ? They are dire ! The party at Deadwood is going to be incredible.

We should all wear party hats and take streamers and party poppers ets along with jelly and ice cream

Rowls · Post by **Rowls** » Mon Feb 06, 2023 8:26 pm

Nice to see the Rovers fans have managed to get organized enough to reinstigate the boycott.

We'll need to be 25 points clear of 3rd place after the Rovers game. Doable.

True, but Wigan are unbelievably useless.

I'd like to take this opportunity to apologize for reminding everyone this game was on tonight

Pears in goal is playing for a team of plums.

Carwin261 · Post by **Carwin261** » Mon Feb 06, 2023 8:38 pm

I feel embarrassed,we should be promoted already,the team we had in the old 4th division would have wiped the floor with this dross,Dack ,& Dias strutting up and down as though they were superstars,as Del would say “What a set of Wallies”

It really is cack.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Mon Feb 06, 2023 8:40 pm

Real 'old fashioned' February pitch.

They keep going on about these signings they missed.

'Longest' half of a match I've seen in years.

jedi_master · Post by **jedi_master** » Mon Feb 06, 2023 8:48 pm

Two poor sides being watched 3 men and a dog.

not being funny but I'd fancy Ipswich to smash these two

The strangest thing, watching this, is that our friends down the road are anywhere near the top six!

Wigan the better team.

Decent side, Ipswich.
They'd do well in this league.

The majority of the Championship are around this standard or worse.

Don't think BB-D likes Bradley Dack, how rude sticking his tongue out

Though “Derek” was doing ok for the pie men, having said that I switched off after half an hour it was that exciting!

Tricky Trevor · Post by **Tricky Trevor** » Mon Feb 06, 2023 9:02 pm

Wigan hurting themselves with all the pointless fouls. They can win this.

Flying Without Ings · Post by **Flying Without Ings** » Mon Feb 06, 2023 9:14 pm

I still can't believe Blackburn are in and around the playoffs. I genuinely can't tell the difference between them and Wigan. Their manager will have done a very decent job if they're in the top half at the end of the season.

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Mon Feb 06, 2023 9:15 pm

I thought long and hard for one word to describe this game. The word I chose was TURGID. but then amended it to F***ing Turgid.

Andingle · Post by **Andingle** » Mon Feb 06, 2023 9:15 pm

We should refuse to play on that pitch as its not conducive to our brand of exotic Football.

Where’s their polish keeper? Aside from ash shoving him into the net whenever I’ve seen him he’s been quite good

claptrappers_union · Post by **claptrappers_union** » Mon Feb 06, 2023 9:18 pm

He's still tangled up at the Bee Hole End

Tricky Trevor · Post by **Tricky Trevor** » Mon Feb 06, 2023 9:18 pm

BBD is starting to look like a one trick pony. Stays wide left around the halfway line, they drag everybody over to the right then play the long crossfield pass for him to run on to. He’s been sussed.

Wow under 12,000 home fans

Commy · Post by **Commy** » Mon Feb 06, 2023 9:20 pm

I'm quite enjoying it. Wigan are quick when they attack but their final ball is useless. Rovers are just trying to hit their new loan from Hudders all the time.

I think he’s Belgian with a Polish name and he’s been garbage since Ash crunched him. Said on comms they were thinking to start Pears anyway but then Kaminski got injured in training.

Bugger.

Tricky Trevor · Post by **Tricky Trevor** » Mon Feb 06, 2023 9:22 pm

Another pointless foul costs Wigan the lead. Keeper would never have got near the corner.

Flying Without Ings · Post by **Flying Without Ings** » Mon Feb 06, 2023 9:22 pm

Just a shoulder barge that...

Commy · Post by **Commy** » Mon Feb 06, 2023 9:22 pm

Wigan are causing them problems with their corners.

Would be nice for Derek to score.

Tricky Trevor · Post by **Tricky Trevor** » Mon Feb 06, 2023 9:32 pm

Rekik and Kelly both off injured now. Fiddlers could pinch this, them two have defended very well together.

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Mon Feb 06, 2023 9:35 pm

Kelly got his studs caught in the disgusting playing surface. Looks like a bad knee injury

Commy · Post by **Commy** » Mon Feb 06, 2023 9:37 pm

Rovers fans saying their terrible pitch caused it.

Commy · Post by **Commy** » Mon Feb 06, 2023 9:40 pm

I wouldn't like to argue with Mclean. He looks a big un.
