Wigan (a), FA Cup 3rd Round, 8/1/21

[Fraserkirky]

I still can’t believe Buckley hasn’t squared that to Brereton. 

[CambridgeRover]

Gallagher cant have been injured that badly given he wasnt expecting to be subbed. Being dragged to their level

Honestly four changes at half time, protect the key men. 

[AdamRochina]

awful game,  deffo need a striker this window, maja would do great i think

I'm getting worried by our recent tendency to not put away our chances. Our efficiency in front of goal has been a huge part of our great run.

For me the quality of the final ball hasn't been as good as well. You can't rely on Brereton to score another 20 goals though, we need another decent striker who can chip in.

Sounds like we are struggling. What needs to change?

not struggling,wigan are niggling away and stopping us from playing,we need to step up a level in the 2nd,if we do we`ll win no problem

[dallydally]

So probably a sneaky 1 nil to Wigan come the end of the game!

He does and it's a tap in.

Gallagher hamstring gone

At least he won’t be forced into a wide position for a while.

Travis really should have put us one up 2 min in. With that much space it should have been easy to put that ball on goal from 35 out.

Today is a hell of an advert for a settled back 5! Missing Wharton and Nyambe big time

Don’t think Van Hecke and Ayala are suited to playing together. One or the other.

Wigan haven't had a sniff.

Yet we’ve still looked shaky at the back, got two of them on yellows, and aren’t attacking out from the back with our usual threat.

[BigBar]

Bit of a nothing first half, should be in front. Terrible decision from Buckley when Ben had an open goal. Not sure what he was at.

I was thinking about this, if he had just treated it like a pass I'm sure it would have reached where it needed to go.

Johnson on for lenihan

[bluebruce]

Hopefully Lenihan is ok or it will have been a very bad move to start him. Don't see why Carter isn't the replacement. Baffling subs from the manager, hope that's just him using the cup to dabble again, don't want that shit to creep back into his league management.

Dolan isn't taking his chance 😕

A couple of games ago he passed when he should have shot and messed that up too. Probably on his mind.

[perthblue02]

Khadra 1-0

[Gone to seed]

Great goal! Only one place that was going to end up once Reda got it at his feet. Rovers looking steady.
