Phew we got the draw.

Looks like a highly appealable red card to me.

Read the first nine names on the team sheet with a relieved smile and the last two and subs bench with a huge WTF?

This was a must not lose- we didn't lose so onward and upwards. Hope Chapman injury not serious.

Got to be happy with that given the ref was a homer and we played so long with ten men. Desperately need to beat Fleetwood on Tuesday now seeing as Bradford and Charlton won today. Nothing less than 3 points will be good enough.

It is only October !

You can't appeal a red for two yellow card unfortunately, so it will stand.

Perfect one of our best players out just in time for the match we didn't play because we had some of our best players missing.

Chapman has been an injury waiting to happen, he's been a sick note for the past few years, thats probably why he's on loan with us.

Excellent defensive display. Paul Downing is an absolute rock. 

Certainly would have taken a point before the game, and will certainly take a point after the game, especially with only 10 men for half an hour. One point gained on Shrewsbury to boot. Good day for us.

No problem with the line up and thought we matched Wigan most of the game.
Odd sending off but Chapman was the right sub. Kept the basic formation but also maintained an attacking threat.
Fair result all things considered - Wigan could have scored on a couple of occasions but we also carried the occasional threat.

Losing another player to ill discipline from the Mowbray Venus Lowe camp doesn't help as we drop another two points off the seasons total suppose with a draw we reluctantly have to accept this for now though Mowbray's team really need to start picking up wins if promotion is to be achieved.

The referee was a disgrace. Unfortunately his performance will only divert attention from the fact that Mowbray's team selection tactics and substitutions were equally questionable. We were generally shambolic until we probably unfairly went down to ten and then perversely the Dunkirk spirit kicked in and we looked a little better.

He needs to go and be replaced with a manager who'll have a go.

???? We've lost a further two points on Bradford, Charlton and Scunthorpe. Hope we dont have too many more "good days" like that!

Good point considering. Worried for Tuesday night as chapman, Bennett and Samuel missing. Presume Dack and Antosson were poor as they were taken off early. Hope we have enough firepower to get us over the line on Tuesday night. 

Add Chapman to the absentees on Tuesday as he limped off leaving only 9 men so presumably not trivial. Looks like Antonsson and Conway wide with Graham and Dack central. Not much pace or penetration there.

A point against top of the league is a good point on paper.

However, why so negative Mowbray?

Feels like three points were there for the taking, yet we spurned a real chance to build some momentum and confidence by really going for it.

How can Antonnson EVER be the right man?

If Chapman had started the game and gradually worked his way into the game, would he have done his hamstring?  Sounds like it could be a four to six week job.

Think that was either Smallwood's fourth or fifth booking so a one game ban for him  is looming.

Fleetwood will be difficult.  I still think we are one of the least fit outfits about and Tuesday will be tough, very tough.
