A trip across the Pennines next up against a side that are unbeaten at home in the league winning two and drawing one of their three previous home games .
On Saturday they got a credible draw against Lincoln 2-2 with Mullin and Wright scoring their goals. Mullin especially can be a pain in our backside given the room and time to work and will definitely need to be tightly watched to nullify the danger.
Michael Skubala the Lincoln manager pointed out their physicality at the end of the game a game he admitted they mostly dominated so a hard competitive game can be expected.
Against Bradford we had everything go for us, the tactics spot on the players all on their game including the substitutes were bang on it and we kept our shape throughout the game very well, as near to the complete performance as we can expect, and we might need a similar effort against a strong Wigan side looking to be coming into form under the management of Ryan Lowe.
The one thing outstanding in every match this season is our fitness rate and consequently the amount of ground our midfield especially cover during a game off the ball, and the number of challengers they make for the ball, something I thought went a long way to upsetting Bradford's rhythm going forward to the extent their wide players were looking for a challenge when collecting the ball, a great big well done from me.
So a lot to look forward to, what team selection? which no doubt will be set as much by tactics as performance the way we have the odd surprise now when in the past we have stuck with a winning team.
And if everyone is fit, which with what now must be a really punishing fitness regime the way we have played has certainly paid off but will effect the odd player in training now and again.
We could take a sizable following, Are you going?
Can we keep our run going? which add the finish to last season is very impressive.
Will bigger fish start to look enviously at our management team?
Lots to discuss, lots to look forward to, and are we building something special again, please have your say
-
No reason we can’t keep our run going. Although O’Riordan acquitted himself well I’d like to see him back in the middle and a recognised right back playing (depending on availability of course). Other than that same starting team for me. No reason we can’t get a result there I’ll be there.
-
Would you drop McGrath or Pearson to accommodate O’Riordan in the middle, if Sterry/Nixon was back?
I would stick with Pearson and O’Riordan at centre half, personally but make sure O’Riordan was on Mullin a race.
-
Well, we've played Mansfield, Port Vale, Rotherham and Bradford who we'd expect to be in our face and physical but to quote an independent observer, the latter two have 'barely laid a glove on us'
I think whatever game plan McCann comes up with, the players seem much more adept at executing it, whereas even last season, especially the first half, there were periods when they seemed to lose their way. More confidence now, whoever takes to the pitch will do their jobs.
-
In form Billy is going to get them,
-
Saydee suspended for them fortunately.
V good player.

Chicken slayer to pie eater!

Wigan are unbeaten at home in their last 6 games, keeping 3 clean sheets in the process.

Anyone remember the battle on the pitch at their old ground

Wigan are decent. This is another tough game. They will be knocking on the door of the top 6 come May.

Maybe other clubs’ fans see us in the same light.?

Not good reading in our recent games...
Haven't won at Wigan in a league fixture since 1986 (we won in the LDV in 2002)
They have currently beaten us home and away in the last 3 seasons where we were in the same league.
Our last league win over them was in April 2016 when we won 3-1 with 2 goals from Butler and 1 from Andy Williams.
Anyhow, all runs come to an end and we will put it right this Saturday!
-
Scoring first is key, we'd have won at Huddersfield if we could have taken one or more of our early chances and made our dominance count while we were well on top. It felt like we put that right on Saturday where we were ruthless first half, more of that and I think we win.
Just feels nice to be back at this level, competing well, every game has something extra to look forward to - really enjoying this season.
-
We won’t win every game this season even if we do end up challenging for promotion.
A win, loss and a draw in the next three games leaves us on 20 points from 10 games. Whilst I always hope we can win, that points haul would still be mightily impressive.

What ever happens it will
A) be dryer than the LDV game
B) not as bad as when we played as they where getting going up the leagues under Martinez and it was done and dusted in first 15

Does anyone know whether I be able to buy tickets on the day ?

I believe no tickets are being sold on match day. Rovers stop selling tickets at 1 o clock on Friday.

Thanks
Just ordered etickets guess the £20 note at turnstiles is a thing of the past :lol:
-
We've been a little pre-occupied with the Spurs game, but we have the bread and butter of the league tomorrow.
According to McCann, only Gotts is unavailable so plenty of options to choose from. Full concentration required and it would be great to follow up the Bradford win with another 3 points.
There'll be more eyes on the tasty Bradford v Huddersfield game, plus Stockport v Cardiff. It's not beyond imagination, we could be top of the league come 5pm Saturday.
-
Going with my mate on the train tomorrow and looking forward to it. I'm sure it will be a tough game, but Wigan seem to concede a few goals as well as score. Confidence is high and if we can play how we know we can, then I think we can sneak a win.
Have faith. 1-0 to the Rovers
-
It’s ‘keep the faith’ when you are in Wigan.
I like the pre match and half time Northern soul music at that ground.
Yes, the pies are nice too.

Just had lunch with a lifelong Wigan fan who is hoping for a point. Although he thinks they’ve improved this season he is convinced that their back line is prone to error and thinks that the DRFC he saw in the first 45 minutes last Saturday would be their worst nightmare. He reckons plenty of Wigan fans have clocked that with Molyneaux, Bailey and Sharp we’ve got players that can turn games and they fear those 3. Also they aren’t confident given the fact Saydee is missing.

Lo-Tutala Is having a poor game .

Lo-Tutala Is having a poor game .
Shocking for both goals, plus the Bradford goal last week. Can’t have a rush of blood every week, it’ll cost us in this league. Lawlor been quality when he’s played, might be time for a rest for Tim.

. It’s mistakes that cost games and he’s started to make a few . Defenders will start to drop back if he looks iffy !!
-
First goal the wide player had at least ten yards to knock the ball in no closing down to stop the cross at all, a player slid in and got a deflection that might have gone in if TLT got a hand to, the second was a good punch clear to the edge of the box, where again a player eighteen yards out had the freedom of the pitch.
A defender rushed in to block a shot across the front of Smith their player who dummied a quick shot and dragged it back, a great bit of skill and then picked his spot as defenders stood back.
Hardly the keepers fault, poor closing down and positional play by outfield players if anything.
Thought Molly was brought down in the area just before they scored, if he wasn't I would like to know what he was doing falling on the floor when about to shoot.

This is our bad day at the office day .. not one of the players look like there up for it ..
-
That was absolute dross. Garbage. Not one player worth the shirt.
-
Watching it on the box it was a clear as daylight stone wall.penalty, the defender hooked Molly's trailing foot and it was clearly inside the area. Astonishing that it was not given.
It might have been an entirely different game if we had gone one nil up but, that said, Wigan were the better side today.
-

Utter rubbish, beaten by the better side today, tactically McCann got it wrong but that statement of yours is stupid
-
Didn't quite go to plan did it? We can be hypercritical if we want but it was one of those days where things didn't go our way starting with the penalty shout, then it compounded from there.
Credit to Wigan for taking their chances. No need to talk about dropping anyone, particularly TLT. Maybe he just needs to calm down a bit but let's not be silly and pin the blame for today on him.
It's another learning experience. We dust ourselves down and we go again. The way the league is shaping up, it's wide open.

True and the ref knew straight after but we were second best today
-

Give over. Or stop drinking.
Id accept the dross comment, it was poor alround.
But not worth the shirt is way over the top. That is a comment to players who clearly dont give a damn. This lot do
-
Perspective, Wigan are a good side and we are 5th in the table with no one below us who can overtake us with games in hand. I’d have taken that at the start of the season at this stage. Onwards and upwards not every team will be as good as Wigan. :rtid:
-
Best team we’ve played so far. Overpowered everywhere on the pitch. Man for man, they were better. They pressed us off the pitch and one or two in our team have had a reality check today. Moly had a nightmare today and Gibbo huffed and puffed but was mamby pamby most of the game. Pearson was also suspect today as well.
Regroup and re-energise and back at it next week.
-
I meant not worth the shirt today. Not worth the shirt in general. It’s a very good squad. But not one of them turned up today. Not one played to what we know we can, hence not worth the shirt today.
-
On the three goals. TLT should have done better, that’s obvious but…
I’m pretty sure goal 1 got a nick of their man at the front post. Looked like that live but hard to see on the replay. Should still do better.
Punching the cross for goal 2 was fine, just make sure you punch it to a wider position. There were still 8 men between Smith and the goal. Pearson gambled on there being a first time shot and dived in, which was fine, but nobody else went close down.
Nice strike for goal 3. TLT moved his feet well to get close to it, and doings so will think he should have saved it, but he was a bit unsighted with the way the ball was set around the defenders. Moly has done the same over the last couple of seasons. It makes it difficult for the keeper.
The was poor but part of the worst defensive performance of the season by far.
-
Even Man City have lost two games so far this season.
-
If you, through your own errors, gift a decent quality opponent on their own patch a two goal head start early in a game then 9 times out of 10 you're going to get beat.
That's what's happened to Rovers today.
These things happen.
It doesn't detract from the excellent start the team has made to the season.
Put it behind us.
On to the next one.

Is there any footage of the “penalty that wasn’t given”.

I wasn’t at the game Selby and I haven’t seen any of the match footage as I’m away from the UK but what you are saying happens at most of our games. Why do we give the opponents so much time and space. You and I played many years ago when if we didn’t pick a man up we got a severe word from our team mates. It’s a different game now I accept this but the basics still need to be applied.
-
The players looked flat and out of rhythm and lacked any impression or impact on the game . McCann has stuck to his format of selecting players who are working well together and Wigan who were ready for tight fast moving match , piled on the pressure from the off and Rovers didn’t respond or take up the challenge .The first goal is important and they wanted it badly . After that we just kept giving them opportunities by not holding on the ball and building the play , they rolled us over ever time we lost possession and kept us from setting ourselves all through the match . It’s time we put our creative players on at the start. We have become predictable by leaving certain players on bench in every game ..

The was poor but part of the worst defensive performance of the season by far.
The 1st one was unfortunate, a very good low cross that took a decisive nick off the attackers toe changing the direction of the ball at the very last moment. The 2nd was poor , if you can get 2 hands to the punch he should be catching it really but I'd be more concerned about the marking on the edge of the box .

They looked flat and out of rhythm because Wigan were great without the ball. In the same way Rotherham pressed us for the first 15min and made us look ordinary. Difference being we were able to force Rotherham back after that initial period and get on top in the game. Wigan kept up to their work and we could never get a foothold in the game. Trevitt, Wright and Smith absolutely over ran our midfield 3.
-
After yesterday’s shocker and having slept on it, I just wonder how much the Spurs game was in player’s minds? I hope not, but it makes you wonder.
-
Said that to my lad. Sure McCann will make sure it isn’t or he will probably drop them. One player playing bad a team can cope. When the full team aren’t on it then we got what we deserved.
Credit to Wigan, good team. High pressed all the game. We will lose matches through out the season. It’s how we come back from defeats that matter.
-
I did think yesterday about the proximity of the Spurs game, it’s just natural to think that way when the whole team plays in a polar opposite way to how the manager wants.
I also think Clifton’s injury didn’t help with how we press teams.
Whatever it was we need to show a reaction against a tough to break down Wimbledon.
-

Well it used to be noticeable in the past when Teams made a "big Final" and their League Form drops as individuals tried to ensure they stayed fit for the big one.
Must admit I hadn't twigged that connection and of course have no idea if it played any part BUT I must go back to the "what if"
What if the Ref had given the Pen which looked nailed on to me ?
We may have scored from the Spot and gone on to win the game 1 0 and the Spurs factor would have remained oblivious ( to me at least )
I would hope for a convincing "bounce back" win next game with players getting stuck in to try to secure a place in Starting 11 or Bench if not in the 11.
-
I think the Spurs team will be an interesting one - Grant has used cup games to give time to fringe players - Lawlor, Close, Sbarra etc starting and playing most games. Will Grant stick to his ‘cup’ team for the Spurs game, in which case our first 11 should be head down and fully focussed on the league, or will he play his ‘first’ 11 to give us our best chance of competing?
Either way let’s hope yesterday was just a blip and we’re back at it next time out.

Is there any footage of the “penalty that wasn’t given”.
I’ve had a look around the internet but cannot find owt, I have watched it on Rovers+ the incident is definitely in the area and IMHO should have been a pen

Cheers gloster. If there was contact, and the photo gives that impression, then as it is clearly inside the box a pen should have been awarded.

Live I thought Moly was looking for it. On the big screen replay in the ground it looked a penalty. I think he was looking for it and it was probably still a penalty!

Interesting that the Wigan big screen showed the incident.
At the Eco they never show controversial stuff like that on our big screen.
-
Wow ... I thought they avoided showing contentious decisions on Big Screen ?
Anyway (imo) it should have been a Penalty and would have been given at the other ( again imo )
We would still have had to score from the Spot of course (that's not my opinion but reality)

Having watched it a few times now I don’t get the impression that he was “looking for it” I think he was getting himself into a position to shoot.

First time we have conceded three goals away from home since the 5-2 hammering away at Chesterfield on 6 February.
-
We were beaten by the better team. They Were quicker stronger and better technically than our players. Our wide men were powderpuff all three. Yes perhaps TLT could have done better with their goals. But how many times did we get a shot on their goal. Grant made a mistake with the sub aswell he should have brought on anther midfield player not Middleton. Neither Molyneux Middleton or Gibson can run back and defend. All Wigans players did when we attacked.
Their third goal came from having Middleton at left wing back.
We learn move on.

I’ll lay money on Rovers finishing above Wigan this season.

-

Think you're barking up the wrong tree there.
-
On holiday and watched the game with a Wigan fan. He thought our defending was poor for the first two goals and keeper at fault for the 3rd.
Generally he thought we played some decent football just too many mistakes.
Apparently Wigan have been starting games well but tailed off as games went on.
My thoughts were we just gave them too much room.
-

Probably so, but we won’t be that paw very often.
-

Pardon me for using the wrong terminology & thank you for taking the time to point it out.
Muddy, CottyRover & Avsuptem knew what I meant.
-
I’ll lay money on Rovers finishing above Wigan this season.
Based on what we have seen from both teams so far this season, it’s likely Wigan will finish above us. If they don’t finish top 6 I’ll be surprised. Certainly no slight on how good we have been because the start we have had has been brilliant.
-
I’ll lay money on Rovers finishing above Wigan this season.
I believe Rovers will beat Wimbledon on Saturday & Wigan will lose away at Bolton (one of only 3 sides not to have lost a league game thus far).
That would leave a seven points gap between us & Wigan & potentially see us back in an automatic promotion spot & Wigan in the bottom half of the table.
Early days I know, but we take each game as it comes & Wimbledon is a very winnable game.
Just to make it absolutely clear, particularly to nickDRFC to save him from further semantics, I am confident enough to PLACE money on Rovers finishing above Wigan this season.
-
I thought wigan were very good, closed us down quickly and looked like they would score everytime they attacked
-
Anyone got any video footage of the apparently 'nailed on' penalty that we should have had. Even the extended footage on You Tube doesn't feature it...
-
And that's highlighting what i think is our biggest weakness bpoolrover, we have a lot of players that are better on the ball and and some of them are very good, but apart from players like Pearson, not many who are good off the ball.
A lot of them step across and get squared up, not many really good tacklers, a trend that is much more prevalent in todays game.
Hence we don't stop a lot of crosses coming into our box, or like their first and third goals Saturday stand off wanting players to come to them, but giving the player with the ball time and room to work in, get a cross or a shot in which they did.
-
I think we have been alot better at stopping crosses and be relatively sound as a back four this season together with pressing teams, maintaining the intensity for larger parts of games. Until Wigan.
All that seemed to evaporate. Listening to the commentary, there were warnings from the commentators and we paid the price. Wigan did to us what we did to Bradford.
Whatever the reasons for it, believing our own hype, being distracted by the Spurs game or just too many players having an off day, McCann has got to nip it in the bud. We've been here before and can go again. I'm sure the players will take individual and collective responsibility as it's a kick up the arse we probably needed. The honeymoon period is well and truly over.
-
Well City bounced back after our mauling so we just need to do the same.
-
Matt Smith was on his own for the second goal had the freedom of Wigan.
The third goal cut in from the right and hit a good shot could have been saved by TLT but should have been stopped by our players. It didn’t help with Middleton at that stage playing left wing back.
Saying all that we hardly ever put their defence under pressure their wing backs came back with their midfielders and stop us playing. Crosses we did get in were poor Molyneux and Gibson were ineffective and Middleton in the second half played more as a wing back. Whether it was down to our performance or that we were outplayed and over powered by them. For the first time this season we never looked like we could win this game.
-
I’ll just add to what Steve wrote above - it wasn’t just their wing backs that came back. When they lost the ball, the whole team funneled back into their half of the pitch. They worked their proverbials off for a good 80 minutes. It was a sobering lesson for us.
And, their wingers put far more dangerous crosses in than any combination of our 3!
Final thought - why can’t we shoot from outside the 18 yard box? Do we have anyone capable?

Just watched the extended highlights, this is not aimed at TLT alone, but what is wrong with modern goalies? they cannot catch a ball but always look to deflect the ball through punching or palming the ball off. I find it increasingly irritating. 2 counts of it by TLT caused the first two goals. Sullivan was the classic case of catching the ball and then falling over so your team could clear their lines, it used to happen so often in his time with us, perfect positioning, a ball caught even when it was at full power and off we go again. Coaches take a step forward!
-
Am I right in thinking that Mols should have had a penalty in the first 5 minutes of the game (I missed the first half live)?
Then come the 2nd half he hit the inside of the far post with the keeper beaten & Billy lurking to tap it in if it hadn’t hit the post!
IF the ‘penalty’ had been given & converted, Wigan would not have been in a position to counter & score.
That surely would have put a different light on the game?
If Mols 2nd half effort had hit the inside of the post & gone in or it had missed the post for a tap in by Billy, we’re suddenly talking about 2 goals to the Rovers at ‘crucial stages’ of the game.
I know…..would have, could have, should have but, I don’t think we’re as ‘far behind the likes of Wigan’ (even given Grant’s post match interview on the game) as some would think.
I would lay money on us…….correction, I bet good money on us being in a higher position than them come New Years Day fixtures.

And that's the point I've made twice on threads. TLT needs to be more conventional. TSL embraced most of the best modern trends in goal-keeping techniques. There is more punching but as Barmby says there is a time when the GK should slow everything down and take the ball to ground and look around carefully before distributing it. TLT does everything at 100 mph which can be unsettling for the opposition, but it's not always the right choice.

TSL embraced all the modern goalkeeping trends, except for saving as many shots as he should. He just didn’t make enough saves for me.
