    The jealousy for us is just astounding ��

    The starting line up was not breaking any rule whatsoever, infact there was no rule broke anywhere, we only had the three youngsters on bench to which one came on.

    Wigan had 11 academy players on that team sheet apparently so maybe they’re confused

    He has been an empty shirt for the last 5 games. Are Eaves and Kelly that bad that they didn’t warrant a start over a sick Hugill

    It would be a bit rich if there were accusations of an under strength Millers team from the opposition
    This from the bbc website

    Maloney stacked his substitutes' bench with seven academy players and handed league debuts to 21-year-old goalkeeper Sam Tickle and Anthony Scully.

    Bit of a damp squib yesterday, particularly the 311 mile round trip in atrocious weather. Wigan's stadium is looking jaded and the seats were obviously built for the visiting vertically challenged supporters of Bolton. Furthermore, it's a dreadful place to get to and away from.

    I was looking forward to a relaxed day with no pressure on the result. In retrospect, last season's trip to Gillingham surpassed it by a country mile. These dead rubbers are not for me!

    Bring on next season, and let's get down to some proper competition!

    Hopefully next season we'll need to get something from the last match to make it interesting for everyone.

    Clearly, we've been spoilt this last 7 seasons Jocks

    Personally, I thoroughly enjoyed the whole day and the tedium of the match itself was a particularly unusual experience.
    For a final game of the season, it had the feeling of "how the other half live" about it

    A push for the play offs or a win to deny the opponents the chance of the title.
