Title: Rovers v Wigan
Post by: Colemans Left Hook on January 24, 2026, 02:51:00 pm

Before the wimbledon game i said we had relatively easy games up to  the Huddersfield game - so we have one win in a row let's make it 2

today i expected Stockport Huddies & Plymouth to all win so 2 out of 3 aint bad

Bradford (on the decline?) and Luton losing we both meet in the relatively easy games - so can't be bad .

The three wins in the 30s and 40s must have set you up with Coleman's Golden Tower in Hexthorpe? Wise to wait till lumping on again. Is this season win 5?

ha ha ( i tried to like your post but the green monster knew better and won't allow to praise you!  )

one year i got a free bet and put it on predicting the top 2 - do you remember  that year when i went on about the bank of wigan and the bank of blackburn and they finished 1-2  and the odds were a few hundreds to one

northampton 1-0 down

10 minutes in 7 shots for Rovers and one goal more importantly. This is the fast start we have been after for a long time.

Well done rovers sounds like the Wigan fans are getting fed up of their manager

Best performance in weeks. Scoring helps, but we've been controlled, creative, strong and tenacious. Everyone a minimum of 7/10 in that first half

This is more like it. We look like a team who can play football. Crisp accurate passing and working together. Would be 4-0 if not for their GK making a couple of great saves. Brilliant first half really enjoyable.

Post by: sedwardsdrfc on January 24, 2026, 03:53:02 pm
Wigans number 9 is decent. Type of forward who would suit us we still don’t have a hold up man.

Good performance so far Moly shouldn’t have given the keeper a chance with a couple. One more and they’ll be done.

Great first half from the Rovers! They seem a lot more dynamic today, and Frankie proving a handful up front. Unlucky not to be further ahead

"Really dominant performance first half by Rovers should be 3 to 4 up" according to Radio   2nd goal trickled over the line as their goalie tried to save the header

Bolton 0-0 with Orient 

Title: Re: Rovers v Wigan
Post by: IDM on January 24, 2026, 03:59:22 pm
Agreed, should be 3 or 4..  great finish for the first goal and fortunate for the second.  Creating lots, could be more ruthless to get the GD up..

Wigan do look a threat when going forward, but then again so do we..

They all look like they want it today.

On an aside have we upset sky sports as they never go to our match on soccer Saturday

Could really do with a big win to help with the goal difference

I laid Rotherham at 2/5 yesterday (meaning i want them to stay up and as i type they scored  -- that would really fcuk wimbledon up

Our commentators very annoyed with the ref, say was never a freekick for their second goal, and then a far worse not given to us

Never a foul in n McGrath
Title: Re: Rovers v Wigan
Post by: Colemans Left Hook on January 24, 2026, 04:38:06 pm
in a desperate attempt to get a smile out of "you all"  at 3-2 as we bite our nails

.......   For McGrath's goal the ball trickled past goalkeeper Tickle.

Burnley 2 Tottenham 1 and who is getting sacked in the morning

This is why we might go down. More than enough ability just soft. Should have been 5-0 at half time

Thrown game away ,difficult to take it as a draw, agree about subs. We have problems wit corners.
Title: Re: Rovers v Wigan
Post by: ScillyRover on January 24, 2026, 05:02:31 pm
Yet more evidence (as if we needed it) that we need a good centre back addition.
Title: Re: Rovers v Wigan
Post by: Colemans Left Hook on January 24, 2026, 05:08:51 pm
at least Orient lost to a last minute penalty  - trouble is they have a ringer on loan From Southampton who is the top scorer in the league plus a couple of good forwards

Two of Wigan's best performers today - Taylor and Moxon, were both signed this week

Some really good saves from their keeper but we wasted so, so many chances.

On a positive note still unbeaten this year, but that has to go down as 2 points dropped

Onwards and upwards
