Here we go. Anymore in the ground than in the Lucky Pint?
-
Well may as well give this a go hopefully the players will step up however I am expecting a to get well and truly beaten by at least 4 goals
-
I see that it is now 7pm and the teams are just coming out.
The kick off time is supposed to be 7pm.
This anomaly happens all the time including 3pm Saturday kick offs.
Very strange.
-
Rovers started brightly, look energetic…. Come on!
-
0-1 Wyke :facepalm:
-
Oh gosh! What’s happening?
-
Olowu gone missing again. 0-1 Header from Wyke.
-
Wyke header. It’s so obvious it’s funny now.
-
Oh,
Nice one Olowu, useless defender.
-
Really poor defending again
-
Olowu gone missing again. 0-1 Header from Wyke.
Olowu is playing right side CH, the fault lies in giving so much space down our left and Jones stuck to his line once again
-
When on gods earth are we going to get rid of this horrible defender
-
Are we the softest touch in professional football?
If you are a lower league lump then just roll up against us and we will let you bully us and nod in a piss weak goal.
-
Got to ask why Rowe was at centre back instead of left back stopping the cross
-
Cut the ball out in the first phase allowed the ball to go left to Smith put in a good cross and Jones didn’t come for it. So allowing the cross was wrong and nobody close to Wyke and flapping Jones again.

No matter what happened, Olowu will get the blame, getting boring now.
-
Can we get a decent keeper as well.
-
Yes, too easy to cross, but How can Jones do anything with that???
Olowu is 3 yards behind and wrong side of Wyke, like we don’t know what Wyke can do.
Olowu just prances about in the area watch him closely. Awful

He is but he was in a good position to challenge Wyke when the the cross was coming in. He just stood there, didn’t challenge and Wyke had what was a fairly comfortable header.

McGrath is left side CH, he should be dealing with it first, you know Jones could throw the ball in the net and some will still blame Olowu

Yeah Olowu is class.
-
Fair play to everyone who’s at the game today. Didn’t have the heart myself
-
Oh no Andy Cook can smell man flesh again
-
Moly should of hit the target from 8 yards out there
-
Great run by Hurst after over physical tackle on Carty Molyneux puts it over when he should have done better
Good cross by Hurst
-
Hurst looking good! Great ball in to Moly
-
Wyke header. It’s so obvious it’s funny now.
The time and space given for the cross was appalling.
Left the centre halves a pretty impossible job to do
-
Let me guess - and the keeper was on his line?

Agree about the time and space to cross.
Disagree about it being an impossible task to defend. The issue is that Olowu walks about the box, ball watching and then reacts 2 seconds too late every time against big lump forwards like Wyke, who anticipate where the ball is going to land. He is not good enough and needs to be the first one out of the door in the summer.
-
It was absolutely appalling defending. Huge gap size of Town Fields in left back area. Cross in to Wyke and Olowu nowhere near getting ball. Jones didn’t even know what happened.
-

You would be correct.

Sorry that’s rubbish.
Olowu is being tasked to mark Wyke, he’s just been up his backside, only problem was it was just outside of Wigans box.

Lucky Pint please guys!

Yeah Olowu is class.
He’s been the best defender we’ve had over the past few years. No defender would look any good behind our midfield.

Thats rubish, we defend as a unit, not man mark

I’m guessing Wigan are just knocking it about now?

100%
I thought it was me who could see he is just not with it at all. He’s like my cat, lovely but jut not there.
Plus I’m an hour behind, but then again so is Olowu.
-
Molyneux needs the goals moving he’s had four shots all while off the left hand post why can’t he cross
Rovers have more shots than Wigan but not look like scoring. Wigan playing the better football but we are getting the ball back but not good enough to score. Molyneux is so so frustrating when he eventually beats his man but waste it.
Hurst the best player of the front three. Carty looks a bit lost but we’ve only put in one good cross
-
I’m guessing Wigan are just knocking it about now?
Sounds like it on I follow we seem to be having some shots but keep hitting it wide or over and just do long ball to the loan man upfront.
Feel like Wigan will just step up a gear if they need to
-
(By the way, Newport C. winning 1-0 at Eastleigh)
-
Not a bad half- best I have seen Hurst for a good while
-
We’ve had 9 shots but only 1 on target!!
-
If we could defend and hit the net we’d be okay I think.
Could see the goal coming a mile off, failed at the basics again sadly. Don’t think it was all down to Joe though.
Wigan aren’t great at all it’s just that they’ve had two shots and scored with one and we’ve had quite a few and hit nothing.
-
Half time 0-1

Not sure,he had enough time to pick his nose,pick his arse and then pick a cross!
If we can stop that we can cancel the danger.
-
We’ve only had to defend one good effort and didn’t do it. But if you’re not hitting your shots on target hence a chance of scoring then 1 goal against is enough like Newport and Wigan so far.

So we’ve got a 6’3 brick shit house in McGrath but Olowu has been tasked with marking Wyke??
-
Though Wigan look stronger and slick in passing, Rovers are working hard to press them back and nicking the ball on occasions.
We’ve had a fair few shots, just look a bit weak and half hearted with them drifting wide or over.
Definitely still in this, but need some belief and some aggression in the box.
If we can level it we’ll win it.

I’d like to know RoversinSpain’s opinon on who should be marking the crosser of the ball, I’m sure his answer will be Olowu because he’s made his mind up before a ball was kicked!

Carty looks a passenger so far

It was a good cross but the player was free to put it in the ball went over McGrath and Wyke came in behind him before Olowu could get to him and the Ball and Jones yet again was now where when it comes to that type of cross with pace. But let’s blame these young centre halves it’s a learning curve

Well? Olowu seems to think he’s supposed to be marking him, happy for someone to tell him it’s McGrath’s job, because if McGrath is closest to him it’s no problem as demonstrated with his clearance when he was close to Wyke on the one occasion in the first half.
-
Carty looks a passenger so far
It’s is first game and no good crosses in the box or passes into the box for him to feed off
-
So it continues Molyneux then Hurst run at their market and lose it after we win the ball
-
Good Cross from Hurst and Carty couldn’t get enough on the ball but close
-
Bailey fights wins the ball off two men gives to Molyneux loses it again because he hasn’t got the pace or skill to beat them

Olowu has made almost a hundred appearances for Rovers and is 24 years old. He’s not a kid anymore.
-
Hurst and Bailey shining tonight.
Need a presence in the box as we’re getting in some good positions.
Get Joe on…
-
Good cross at last by Molyneux and Bailey nearly on the end of it
-
Ironside on Broadbent off Wigan make three changes Wkye gone off
-
Good Molyneux free kick good header by McGrath just wide got up well
-
All rovers this half. Winning every loose ball
-
Very close from McGrath header…
-
1:1
-
Bailey
-
At last a great cross with his right foot from Molyneux and Baileys bullet header
-
Great ball in
-
Well deserved first goal for Bailey. Delighted for him.
-
Fantastic cross from Molyneux Bailey a super header
Moly has struggled tonight but he’s kept going
-
After all the second half we nearly concede on the break concentration
-
Wigan break clear down the right into acres of space where Rowe should have been.
-
How long on the clock lads?
-
Great 1st ball by moly to get hurst free, should of probably done better. But we look the better so far
-
How long on the clock lads?
75
-
Carty better now playing behind Ironside
-
It's a good game. We're playing very well.
-
Carty off with cramp Taylor on
-
5 mins injury time
-
FT
-
Two good pieces of work by Jones first from the cross and then save Penalties now
-
We have played well tonight
-
Second half up to the last 5 mins have been Rovers
Chances we had first half we should have been in front now the lottery of penalties
-
Rovers first
Ironside 1
-
Magennis 1. 1
-
Close 2 1
-
Humphrey’s 2. 2
-
Bailey 3. 2
-
Hughes. Missed still 3. 2
-
Hurst 4 2. Phew
-
Won it 4:2
-
Jones saved Jones through to semi finals and deserved it after early error
-
Many thanks for the updates, Steve.
-
Great save by Louis.
-
That is a brilliant result. Well played boys for fighting back and holding your nerves
Really hope we can build on this now and garner some togetherness.
-
Kyle Hurst must be relieved after his pen crept in!! Good second half there. One game at a time, sweet Jesus.
-
Deserved that after that second half where we dominated them
-
Hurst 4 2. Phew
The keeper will be gutted with that. He had it,but let it squirm under him and crossed the line.
-
Glad Jones stayed on his line on that occasion.
What a save!
Rovers the better team in 2nd half.
Well done lads.
McGrath and Bailey showed tenacity, can we have a few more in that bracket.
Hurst played well as did Close.
-
Well done Rovers.
Great second half performance and worthy winners tonight.
-
Think everyone had a good game tonight. By far the better side. We actually looked like a team that could string a few attacking passes together. And apart from the goal, i thought the defence was comforfable
-
Maybe we are more effective against better teams than teams full of cloggers.
-
Well done Rovers.
Great second half performance and worthy winners tonight.
The midfield have shown tonight they can recycle the ball, and keep the pressure on, that surely gives them confidence, and Bailey looks decent in that advance midfield role
-
Great second half & thoroughly deserved to go through. Won every 2nd ball & showed a real will to win the game. Please please can we carry this now into the league games.
-
Bradford away in next round then, who's going or are we still boycotting haha
-
How did Jon Taylor get on. Hoping he can get playing like he used to

I bet Olowu was glad that pen from Hurst trickled in before he got the blame for that

Got a good chunk of the ball, but it was from behind, but the key thing it stopped a dangerous run just outside our area
-

Thought he had a very good second half.

Actually thought Olowu had a good game tonight.
I agree.
Well deserved win for the lads there, showed guts and tenacity and a hunger to win. If we’d played like that every week we’d be in a much better league position.
-
Don't think anyone had a bad game. Good to see what they can do.
-
So utterly depressing and frustrating all this is. Only bright spot has been the -ifollow commentary. Robby has been is usual self -- but who is the co-commentator? I heard Robbie call him "Alex" in one conversation. Alex is doing a great job.
