Ughh. When you look back there are some sickening comments made by Mowbray. Theres so much crap coming from him you forget the past howlers. This is as bad as anything would have said.

The fans need to make it clear they've lost faith. Until theres largescale unrest from the crowd nothing will happen.

I reckon he could have us bottom of the league and still not be under any risk of the sack. Who on the board is A. bothering watching the games to know and, B. willing to sack the bloke that recommended the club sign them. Keanesque scam

Wow. Shambles.

Surprised they didn't give Gallagher the pen seeing he won it and is desperate for a goal. Brereton really is awful. Hooked on 50 mins of an FA cup third round game. He has zero potential. Come on Chapman. Make TM take notice!

What does his pace look like? Still fast of have the hamstring issues taken a yard off?

Some other interesting points I took from that.. First regarding Chapman: “I think initially it’s because of the numbers we’ve got but it’s an opportunity for him to try and do enough to make sure that as people come back he stays on the bench,” Mowbray told the Lancashire Telegraph. “It’s down to him really. I thought he did alright. We need end product from our wide players.” Great motivation, basically being told you will only ever make the bench. And the other wide players are creating loads of chances? Id be off if I was him. Obviously never going to get much game time while TM is here. Secondly regarding Rothwell, “I’ve been showing him an example of (Bryan) Mbeumo at Brentford, 10 goals and five assists. “Joe has no goals and no assists. Pretty damning and also true. Whilst he may excite at times, you cant argue Rothwell needs to do more .

Due to a lack of input from the owners and a board that Mowbray pretty much appointed as mates...Mowbray isn't getting sacked whatever the results are. As you say the only way is when TM decides he cant be arsed. The lack of pressure from above is probably why hes looks under no rush to arrest bad form

Has a history with the club and also would probably cost less if we can persuade Mowbray to go without a massive pay off

Let's hope with all fingers crossed that isn't true. If so it shows how diabolical the summer transfer business was. To be fair every window since we bought Dack has been awful.

Boro and stoke both picking up some form. Despite the good run earlier we could still be sucked back to an awkward fight at the bottom if we dont pick up points regularly. Good to see Champan working his way back into the frame.

The fact shitty stoke have scored four at Huddersfield also shows how poor we are. Dont think many ever expected our unbeaten run to last. there weren't that many great performances in there. Major overhaul required to progress. Many many poor players mostly purchased by the current boss.

The fundamental issue with our performances and therefore results is that many of our squad just isn't good including the manager. Apart from Dack, Tosin and sometimes Lenihan we are poor from back to front. Our league position is more of a surprise than expectation. Without steady improvement each transfer window well be miles off promotion for some time. Trouble is we have no cash according to Mowbray and the signings he does make are on average shit.

Hoping Chapman gets a chunk of game time. Dacks injury could be a chance for him Davenport and Buckley to get some games. Mostly though I'm relieved to see Tosin back in for William's. EDIT: Get in!!

Really poor game. Cant think of anyone who had a good game or many positives to take. Couple of the main issues I could see: 1. The distribution of Lenihan and William's was abysmal. William's was consistently shocking with the ball all game. It's as if hes blind in one eye and cant see the easy pass to the left back. Lenihan almost cost us the game two or three times passing it to their strikers. How long is Tosin out for? Desperate for another centre back. 2. Whilst we talk about the defence needs to be a priority some of our attackers are just plain not good enough and never will be. Armstrong was woeful. Rothwell excited but never seems to produce anything. Graham never had anyone near him. A fast tricky winger who stays wide and runs at teams would have been useful today (isn't there one of them in the reserves already??) 3. Shows how close the league is. Not much between Wigan and Swansea Us or Brentford from that...apart from about 10 points. Not a good result but could be worse. Nice to sit in a pretty full Jack Walker stand. losing Dack is the main downer. ps. The Wigan fans and team look a bunch of scummers. Feining to give the ball back only to try a through ball? and who cheers an injury like that?

Williams is a shocker of a player

Just one goal would be a start....

Keep the same formation and get at em. Don't think much needs to be said. I can see Rothwell being replaced for Downing on the wing and Bell keeping his place at LB. Other than that I think well see Evans, Dack, Graham, Armstrong back in. Nice problem for TM to have mind. A goal for Gallagher at the weekend would have really made it a tough choice. on the Wigan side is Mulgrew ineligible? Im assuming so.

Amazing result. We would have all been well happy if you offered 4 points from Swans and Bristol away. 3rd in the form table. A good January and who knows. Credit to Lenihan this run started as soon as he came back from injury.

Hold on for 45 mins and were 2 points off 3rd!!! Wouldn't have expected that two months ago! Goes to show things change very quickly in this league. A good January theres a chance of play offs here.

on paper it's a shocker of a team...but watching us v Swansea they looked spent. Some needed a rest. Not sure who else we have in the squad. Chapman and Rankin costello but they played yesterday.

Watching us V the Swans we looked very leggy, although so did Swansea. Think some of our squad may benefit from a rest. I have a bad feeling this will be a rest for the wrong players and we will see the likes of Bennett back in and Gallaher on the wing. Walton Nyambe Lenihan Tosin Downing Travis Holtby Armstrong Buckley Rothwell Gallagher

just watched the last 20 mins. we look shit. Slow and leggy. Theres no one within 30 yards of gallagher

Cant watch the game today but just reading the sky sports commentary it sounds like were being mullered

just the start we needed against a team with fragile confidence! Keep at em rovers!
