jim mk2 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 We should not be losing this. It's ridiculous. 1st priority in the January window.... a new reserve goalkeeper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trinidad Rover Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Dear oh dear, some wild overreactions on here. Actually think it’s a positive, focus on the league. It’s not our strongest XI and was probably the worst possible draw. We know Wigan don’t play football. Moving on! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Premier League, you're having a laugh' what, because our sub goalie is shite? Tbf we have been poor today. Haven't turned up at all. Hope this isn't the sign of our momentum coming to a screeching halt and the beginning of a Mowbray death spiral. Edited January 8, 2022 by DE.

duckson Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 This is the Rovers from 3-4 months ago or last season, soft underbelly with mistakes a plenty. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yankfan Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I’d be concerned passing it back to Pears at this point. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

booth Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Pears has been outstandingly bad, but some of the players have to take a look at themselves. They thought they'd won before a ball was kicked. They can't even string a pass together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey_big_nose Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 To be fair to Pears he was awful last season, but played well this season and seemed reasonable to give him a spin in this game. But while you can just about get over one clanger in a game but two is unacceptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no hiding from mistakes. Came to catch a cross and basically carried it straight into his net. I'm struggling to remember when I was last this angry with a goalkeeper, and I'm not even too invested in the FA cup this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been so poor, including the first teamers. It's easy to worry about a death spiral when you see something like this. Wigan should be 3-1 up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowsubmarine Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 At 1-nil our players thought we had it in the bag. Utter shite game management. Esp Ben. Maybe he thinks he a Chile superstar now, a third round FA Cup is not his cup of tea. And Pears is the purest shit of all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miker Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 If anything, this game is showing that we have a serious lack of depth in the squad. Dolan can't play RB, Johnson and Van Hecke can't play the ball-playing defender role, Pears can't keep. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Yorks Rover Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 It would be typical if we go into a downward spiral after losing to Wigan, they've always been bad luck to us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
