FULL-TIME: Wigan Athletic 1 Burnley 0
5:06pm Saturday 20th March 2010 in
HUGO Rodallega's stoppage time winner broke Burnley's hearts, and almost certainly turned the Clarets' Premier League survival bid into a mission impossible.
Brian Laws' battlers looked on course for their first goalless draw in 59 games, and would have deserved it, after a determined performance at the DW Stadium.
A point was of no real use to either side in their respective relegation battles, and both tried to win the game.
After a tentative first half, in which Wade Elliott headed a Gary Caldwell header onto the post in response to Burnley's early chances, the two teams went for it after the break.
Graham Alexander narrowly missed the target after a free kick was played short 25 yards out and Martin Paterson volleyed onto the to of the crossbar either side of Elliott again producing a goalline clearance, this time from a Rodallega header.
Brian Jensen later produced two superb saves, from Jason Scotland then Mohamed Diame, but Burnley still had plenty to give and David Nugent was unlucky to be denied by Chris Kirkland after bursting onto substitute Robbie Blake's throughball.
Wigan went forward again, substitute Victor Moses got away from Stephen Jordan to cut inside from the right, and his delivery was cruelly headed in by Rodallega at the far post.

Currently 3 adrift from safety and if West Ham and Wolves win their games in hand then it becomes 7 points.. -=-
Only 21 points left for you to pick up! -=-
Portsmouth are only 11 points behind with 1 game in hand, so that could become just 8! -=-
Looks like your going down quicker than your sisters.

Im sure the lassy that writes for the telegraph will also have lots of positives in her game piece.
Sorry guys, even if you beat us next week I cant see you getting over 30 points, and I dont think this will be enough to stay up

The Clarets lacked experience and skill and it showed in the naive approach in games. They were continually bounced not only by the top teams but by the teams in the bottom half of the table.
I wouldn't shout or crow at the team and the management because it would be like shouting at schoolboys when they lose games against experienced men.
It is a shame that the dream only lasted for a few weeks. The only thing that the spectators got were acouple of wins before the other teams had settled down and then they had to watch whilst boys tried to play men and the manager could not find a tactical scheme that would help them.

All down hill from here Dingles. With your form this year I won`t be surprised if you keep plummeting. Soon be playing Stanley again. The only difference being it will be a league game!!!!!!!!!

You could not write this fiction could you? - Had to laugh watching MOTD - it was a Wigan player called "Moses" who cut in from the wing to set up the winner in the last minute of injury time!

I said we needed at least 6 points from the Pompew, Wolves and Wigan matches to stan a chance of survival. this has not happened, so now i feel championship football is on the cards.
I know you Rovers fans would love to brand us the shittest team ever to play in this the best league in the world but this would not be true. We can play good football but lack the finishing touch.
I dont want to dwell and make excuses but I do feelnthe decision that Coyle took to abandon us and ultimately take every member of the backroom and coaching staff has had a massive effect. This has unsettled the players and any fan from any other team who says this sort of exodus of staff and coaches would not have an effect is a bear faced liar!
The board have made a mistake employing Laws with the task to keep us up. A change now would just be stupid, but we need a different manager for the Championship next year. Laws was the cheap option. Wee needed somebody with experience in the prem and relegation battles. There were many options but these were not taken!
Another worrying thing for me is the team we will have next year. We need to keep these boys together! 10 players out of contract in the summer is worrying. Plus the fact that we will loose some of our better player to the prem next year concerns me. Eagles may go to Spurs, there have been a couple of reports suggesting this. Nugent is gone. We'll probably loose Mears too. I would hope big Kev Mac would stay, but i have a feeling that he will be pinched too. The board need to do all they can to not let the destruction of the team happen. They have said that winning promotion to the premier league has financially secured Burnleys future for at least 10 years, and with a wage cap in place there is no need to cash in on players or break the bank. When we go down I feel we have a very good strong championship squad, who know eachother very well, so keep them together. I feel if we do we will bounce back up. We're going to be a yo yo team i think.
Finally eventhough we are going down, this I accepted last week, 3 points agains Rovers next week would make my season. So come on you Clarets. UTS

We are still not down though. Gap is only three points. It needs to be 6-7 points adrift before we start writing it off. Funnily enough as with Blackburn fans I have a funny feeling about next week. Feel we will just edge it 2-1 on the day and keep our survival chanes well and truly alive.
