Tricky second half we could rue not scoring that third

He’s a right winger according to Tony

There's been a couple of occasions in recent matches where his touch has let him down and cost us a possible goal....... but I don't think it's his fault. Anyone who's played the game and been out for a lengthy period would tell you that regaining "match" sharpness takes a long time. I'm sure if he had a decent run of at least 10 games in which he started, his touch would come back.

Formations don't matter. If we play the same way, with the same negative away from home mindset and the same ineffective passing from the back game, we'll lose. It's as simple as that. And assuming he's playing the immutable law of the ex says Lenihan will score

I didn't realise George Hirst is the son of former Sheffield Wednesday striker David Hirst. All I can say is he's not good enough to lace his dad's boots David Hirst was an absolutely top-notch striker in the days when Wednesday had a very fine team. He had pace, height, heading ability, strength and dribbling and finishing skills and but for injuries would have won far more many England caps. He was better than Lineker IMO and would be an automatic pick for England today

Tomasson seems like an intelligent chap, more so than his recent predecessors, and a trait of intelligent people is they can see when something isn't working and they change it. He must see now that his obsession with passing game ideology, especially away from home, doesn't work in the Championship because we don't have the players to do it and it's a tough league full of gritty, hard-working teams and managers who will soon find you out Starting with the next away game, I want to see a change of tactics, or at least a willingness to mix our game up more. We cannot carry on like this because it clearly isn't working. Over to you, Mr Manager

You don't get it It's a Project It'll all be fine in 5 years Or maybe not

It's been noted by another poster but one of the basic truths about this squad is that there is a basic lack of quality. Some of the players just aren't good enough; we have some decent Championship defenders but in midfield and up front we are sorely lacking. The manager's tactics and strange selections don't help but there's only 4 or 5 players that are up to the requisite standard. We're destined to be stuck in mid table as long as that is the case

We weren't good enough to win it but we shouldn't have lost either. More fannying around in defence has cost us again. The manager is to blame because he wants us playing that way. Watching Rovers at present is as bad as anything under Mowbray. Tomasson smiles when we're losing though - which is very nice

Hands up who's enjoying the Tomassson "project"?

Can't see us turning this round. It's been tripe all night really. Wigan haven't won at home and there was only likely to be one outcome once BRFC turned up

Dack looks really cheesed off

The Wigan curse continues. It's pathetic

Tyler Morton rubbish rubbish rubbish

And pass it 20 times instead of crossing it. We need a good old fashioned winger

Brilliant ball by Pickering; rubbish by Brereton

Wish I'd posted that

The players are doing what they're told to do by the manager

Brittain, Dack, Gallagher (cough) on; Szmodics, Hirst, Hedges off

He's given the ball away more often than not, first touch is very poor. Most of the rest of the team have been just as bad

Hirst and Szmodics?? Is there some masterplan to end the 90 minutes with a stronger team on the field than the one that started?

Take Szmodics off, gives it away most of the time

TV commentators put the curse on Wharton there

Goal coming. Wigan peerless at present

Are you watching the match? He's done nothing wrong
