Mark Hughes , tugay . Wouldn't swap them for pace. I know your going to say different positions and right back requires pace which is true to a point. However a football brain that can read a game and isn't error prone and makes the right choices over a rapid but positionally unaware liability. If he's so fast he can grab the ball from the back of the net and Sprint with it back to the centre spot. Caddis offers nothing going forward nyambe offers nothing full stop. Easy decision

I'd take a brain over pace any day of the week

I'd swap caddis' n nyambe but apart from that. Decent. Good to see Willem get on the bench. Onwards we march

I fancy a win here. 3-1 rovers

I would of loved a group with Argentina, Iceland and Australia. Always nice to beat the Aussies, revenge against iceland and guaranteed to be fired up and a good test against a beatable Argentina, another team I love beating for all the obvious reasons . Still happy with the draw and we should progress.

It also helps the fans and press new why the oystons had Blackpool and who exactly owned the club . We however still have no idea why the continue to own us and who actually pulls the strings. When we find out this we can find ways to hit the right people where it hurts . Until then our cause is disjointed and will never be unified with very minimal if any impact. Still great news for them and I hope they get all the success they deserve. We can but live in hope xx

BUT it's the senior lads poker night so we might struggle for numbers and quality

Lads played well tonight. Looks like a few might be on the bench tomorrow

How much for two adults and a three year old. What's parking like. Haven't been to Leyland.

Just checked. The wigan team we beat 1-0 in march. That line up has three players who played and beat Blackpool last weekend. Assuming that was their best possible team and due to the result it shouldn't be to dissimilar tomorrow. They finished below us and HAD a losing mentality. They had a huge turnover of players. The only difference is the manager. Hmmmm. Oh and they are firmly on course for automatic promotion with ( I'm guessing) a far inferior wage budget

All this TRY and take the game to them IF WE CAN. What do you mean IF Tony. You said yourself , with the squad you have, top two or your not fit to manage. Secondly how can you say DG was the only player playing in the team from last time we played them, then, back it up with the team has a losing mentality from last year when the vast majority are new players YOU brought in and the remaining ones you have had 9 MONTHS to motivate and eradicate this losing mentality and instill confidence , which is the main aspect of the Job role you took on. If someone can be arsed to check how many Wigan players are playing from last time we played I would wager it's not far off a new team barring maybe 3-4. I have seriously lost all patience with the bloke after that. Uninspiring is not the word. To say the team lack confidence then say IF we can and HOPEFULLY get results . It's you that lacks confidence Tony and now the fans are losing it in you. Enough is enough. Stop with the excuses. Talk like you have confidence in the players and maybe they will respond with confidence in you. Stop giving the players excuses and reasons to fail before a ball is kicked. Stop with the guardiola school of tactical genius and get 11 players to put their bodies on the line , hearts on their sleeves and drag ourselves out of the piss poor standard league. Puts some points on the board or go Standards and expectation is being dumbed down NO MORE

What happens if you have a season ticket in that area but your dog can't make it, but you are now to friendly with other dog owners to want to move Damn beat to it

Blaming the fans again

Both, but mowbray chose them players and paid good money for one or two so ultimately he is to blame, that's not to say the players shouldn't shoulder some blame and responsibility. Tony said he didn't come away thinking it was a bad performance. I wasn't their but judging by the reaction of people on here , they are worrying comments. If you factor in the checkatrade performance of people supposedly trying to stake a claim for a place in this underachieving team you seriously have to start questioning his motivational skills and authority after the comments of that game. End of the day it's just not good enough or acceptable

You also have to factor in the players we loan out to other clubs to gain valuable experience. It works both ways.

Kings potential was obvious and he was badly mismanaged whilst at rovers. There is no question king is in a different league to Rhodes and will go on to have the better career. However at the time Rhodes was prolific in front of goal and nobody in their right mind would have dropped rhodes for king. If I had a choice of the two now it's king all day. If your asking who was the better rovers player it's Rhodes and anybody who wouldn't have him before Danny Graham needs their head examined

Why do people talk like one day rangers will be back challenging Celtic and this will improve the SPL. Not long back both teams where competing relatively equally and it was still spoke about like it is today only two teams instead of one. That league is the most predictable borefest on the planet . Always was even before rangers went bust

Smallwood is far better than lowe. The right backs are no worse and don't earn his wage between them.

Glad my kid ain't being " coached " by you

Pretty fair and accurate assessment

Just got back. The first half was played at walking pace . Very static and Coventry looked quite dangerous at times. Second was a lot better. Quicker slicker passing , chances created and enjoyable to watch. Smallwood was excellent. Gladwin was impressive when he came on as was Doyle and Caddis is head and shoulders better than nyambe. Williams had a poor game and i am still reserving judgement on Chapman until he stops trying to be neymar and losing the ball and has a few games behind him. Overall decent result with some promising performances. Hopefully tony will have a better idea of what he's trying to achieve and which players are up to the job. Roll on Saturday. COYB

Ridiculous

To be fair he was at a funeral

Went to hob inn. Whoever the singer was their was fantastic. Anyone need a singer , find him and get him booked.
