If we beat Wigan we will finish top.
Lose/draw to Wigan then we finish 2nd.
Wigans backlog will either favour them or the complete opposite and cause them to implode.
Ideal world for me:
Rovers - 1st
Shrews - 2nd
Wigan - lose playoff final , I don't care to who

Everybody will be up for beating us now.
Plus Mowbray needs to settle on a starting formation and stop paying too much attention to other clubs and let those other clubs bother about us. We have the squad to win this IF we stop pissing about so that the players end up not knowing where they are and what they are supposed to be doing. Keep it simple Tony!

It's been like that from the beginning of the season, but, the rest of the post is bob on.

It's clear that Mowbray's preferred formation is 3 at the back and he appears stubborn in wanting to prove himself right. It's obvious to all that many of the players are uncomfortable with it and look like fish out of water.
If he persists, I think we'll struggle to get over the line, if he reverts to 4 -2-3-1 with so many player options as to who could fit in most positions, I think we'll piss it to finish top.

But I suppose there is an argument that he has!Now we are top I just hope that Mowbray starts getting his tactics right
We are top and you can't do much better than that?
(Personally I honestly think with our squad we should be akin to City's position in the prem)

Shrewsbury's game in hand didn't pan out as planned (for them), home game in which they made a draw
Just like any player I like to think that if Mowbray has a good game and get's the team, tactics and subs right we'll praise him. If he gets things wrong then we'll criticise him.
No one is perfect obviously but I think most believe that our squad is better when we start matches with 4 at the back. Unfortunately the end result of that is that means that with either Nyambe or Caddis at right back we are forced to leave much better players like Dack, Armstrong or Payne on the bench. Alternatively start with all good intentions and a back 3 and some of those players are squeezed in and asked to play out of their best position e.g. Bell, Bennet, Payne.
