Obviously still suffering from Mowbrayitis, should pass in a few weeks.

PNE 3 Wigan 0 Charlie might get a game next week.

BBC reporter didn't mention any of that, maybe he's a Fulham fan ?

Sounds like we have offered very little in front of goal, apart from a Gallagher header, according to the BBC.

I have my doubts whether Tony Mowbray would have brought any defenders in at all this window, if it hadn't been for fan pressure. Make no mistake people at the club read social media, particularly this site, it being the biggest/busiest.

Not sure why people keep listing Nyambe in the back four, when Tony's favourite player is still around. They must have more faith that TM will see sense than I have.

I think you're being a bit unfair on Cunningham, by all accounts he's pretty decent FB, kept out of Cardiff's team by a very good player.

Just been checking that, not announced by either club yet.

I had a good read about his career earlier couldn't find much evidence of him playing CB

I watched a couple of videos of him playing for Man City youth teams and that's what he looked like.

Cunningham hasn't been confirmed yet,or did I miss it ?

Mulgrew was talking to Wigan.

Maybe it's a swap deal, who have Wigan got who's any good a CB ?

Didn't Wigan miss a good few penalties last season, or am I thinking of some other team ?

Could it mean Hanley and Cunningham in, with Hanley as captain.

The bookies obviously don't care about recent history. Rovers last 8 years opening day fixtures W 0 D 4 L 4 Tony Mowbray's record ain't much better Last 9 years W 1 D 2 L 6 However I believe Charlton's record isn't too good either on opening day. So 1-1 or 2-2 it is then.

According to Wiki he made 10 appearances for Fortuna Dusseldorf last season, they finished 10 th in the Bundesliga

Rothwell and Buckley on for Dack and Graham. Liam Feeney on for Pool.

Anyone would think he was talking about a teenager, Rothwell is 24 and a half, he's made well over 100 first team appearances.

The bit I noticed was about Joe Rothwell being young and needs to develop, he needs to bloody well start.

Just reading that West Brom's Centre Back Hengazi has had ankle surgery and will miss the start of the season, maybe they've asked for the City lad back ? Or maybe not then.

You could be describing Tony Mowbray there Den.

I can only see us getting a battering today, Rangers 4 wins from 4 so far, goals galore too, F 19 A 0. Might not be a bad thing if we do though, concentrate the mind on getting better defenders in.

30 clean sheets in 69 games for Wigan, not too shabby. He's probably as good as we're going to get, more worried about getting defenders in myself.
