It looked like it was all done and dusted at half-time (possibly even after 20 minutes!). From your perspective I think you're right in that a sense of complacent 'job done' attitude seemed to creep into your play. Then, as we gradually clawed our way back into the contest, you found it impossible to pick up again. Momentum in sport is a strange thing, when it's lost it can be very difficult to pick up the thread again and I think that was definitely a major factor in the outcome on Saturday night. As your players realised the game was still very much in the balance they then became panicky and started to push the pass where a bit of calmness was needed.


As disappointing as the result must have been for you, think it has to be set in the wider context. Your team have barely put a foot wrong over the past two years so the odd slip-up is understandable. Still think you remain the team to beat over the remainder of 2025. If you find yourselves playing rovers again, you will have plenty of support over on this side, don't worry about that!!!!! 

let's be honest, if rovers do now end their 2 generation trophy drought, it's only because we knocked wigan out for them

spill the beans 

Liam Knight looks a very solid signing.

lets just say that, the man of steel has been putting his little man of steel somewhere it shouldnt have been...

That explains his quick exit to hudds then.


It's rife at rovers isn't it?  Rumoured to be why one of their former assistant coaches left

Rumours like this have been spread more than once recently, about several people at the club. Can it all be true or just someone being malicious? Furthermore, the mos is hardly a looker is he.

i know this one to be 100% true 

Oh dear. I would hate to see their team harmony disrupted.

Good luck at hudds Niall, I hope it goes well
