I meant realistic insofar as it is what might actually happen. True on Lenihan though. Be amazing if he stayed fit for the rest of the season. Another body in would make me feel somewhat less nervous for sure.

No, he isn't, but could we do better? I suppose it depends on the fee. If we somehow got him for 1.5 million, it would be a snip.

Yes, to RESIGN him, after Mowbray initially signed him when most had not heard of him. He didn't sign him because the fans wanted him to. As for him not playing, ya an odd one, but we all know about his, ongoing, injury record.

Oh come on. You mean the player he initially signed on loan? .

I'm a big fan, it's just he didn't have a great game the weekend. I think he has a huge future. We need players with his drive and attitude

What about when people nonsensically claimed he didn't want to do well because it put too much expectation on, that it suited him to plod along in midtable for the duration of his contract? "for his pension" I remember one poster wrote. I would say that questioned his character. Did that happen? Please don't ban me

I hope we sign a decent keeper on a permanent, for competition if nothing else. I suspect we might. After that then, Cunningham would be good, but risky with the injury. He wants to stay anyway. Would be happy enough with that. I think it's realistic.

I think its great they got spanked at the weekend. An early goal for us, which we are well capable of and their crowd will turn. Even if they score first, they will be nervous. 1-2 Rovers win

I would say the best we could hope for would be to keep him on loan next season, but being in this division won't help that cause.

I would agree with this, but (there is always a but ) there may not be a huge difference points wise between the 2 outcomes highlighted.

Lol, this hasn't aged well. Don't worry, you could easily find similar from me around this time too. Wigan fans on Twitter saying Mulgrew needs to be dropped and a defensive mid, whose name I can't recall, needs to start in his place. I think we all saw the issues with him last season and it appears there is no Indian summer. He's not even scoring anymore.

This is silly. Not every fan would have made the exact changes he made. Can't go and claim unanimous and self-indulgent credit for the fan base now. Case in point, Evans starting. Graham back in the side wouldn't have been everyone's choice either. Rothwell is probably the players whose position is most at risk now too, so should maybe Holtby have started? It's not as black and white as the fans were right and Mowbary was wrong. He has gotten the team firing through a combination of factors.

Well, who is performing worse than him and Rothwell last 2 games? The lads are on about a 7, whereas everyone else is on 8s and 9s. I'm not saying drop him or anything, just pointing out that certain players seem to get away with more in the fans eyes than others.

Wait,are you claiming that the fans deserve credit for Rothwell,Graham, Travis and Bell and Benno being dropped? Lol, that's a stretch! I would add that Rothwell and Travis are currently looking like the weak links, so will fans now be calling for them to be dropped?its funny how some players are absolved of blame so easily. Saw a post yesterday saying that Evan's covered for Travis so much during the game,but what about it. Imagine it was the other way round? I saw a few say mowbray must be on here etc, which is funny ,but I think it's silly to be claiming fans played any real part in Mowbrays selections. Plenty wanted Armstrong dropped, some were saying Graham is too old. It has taken time,but mowbray has gotten there all by himself. If he deserves the flack when we struggle, then some need to get off their high horses and give credit when we are flying it.

Whatever the reason,he made the changes and HIS players are performing. Plus he has others performing consistently well for the first time in for ever.

But he got us here nonetheless We were all critical,some more than others,now it's time to man up and give credit where it is due. Trying to maintain that he somehow listened to people on here or that hes still a problem,only makes those doing it seem petty and saying anything to save face. I put my hands up,I wanted him out earlier in the season and I have been proven wrong. Still a ways to go,but the signs are positive. All the praise of Tosin, dont forget Mowbray signed him. So defenders were indeed coming. Cunningham was a great signing too,just unlucky with the injury.

I see Wigan are regularly collapsing and conceding late on with Mulgrew in the team

Couldn't be much tougher. Pick up a few points though and the mood will be pretty good. We were decent away not too long ago. We can pull results off away

I love the fact that I didn't expect us to concede at 1 up

I'd say Holtby might start the next game instead of Rothwell

If we sign him in January,it would be adding quality to quality. I'd say he wants to move from Cardiff back to Lancashire.

Ya,his signings are the ones doing it though,so surely credit for that?

Defenders were coming!

I would focus more on the fact he has been immense in the last 3 games

So he has found his best 11. Great stuff! 2-0 Rovers
