And as you can imagine, the protesting chants of reached a new decibel high.

ALCARAZ! Wigan lead! Blackburn are all but doomed!
86'
Wigan have another corner coming up.

Now Boyce with a peach of a cross which Maloney heads over. He was unmarked and timed his leap a little early, but should have buried that.
82'
Moses! Saved by Robinson! McCarthy in for the rebound but his first touch is loose and the keeper is somehow able to prevent Moses from having another dig!
81'
Final sub for Blackburn, and the only one they have been able to make by choice: striker David Goodwillie is on for defender Orr.
80'
The set piece is cleared, but the hosts keep pressing and a low cross by Olsson is just kept from Yakubu by Al Habsi!

Hoilett finds some space but instead of playing in a team-mate, loses balance whilst going for goal. Al Habsi spills it, however, and a corner is forthcoming.

Di Santo has a tame effort at goal collected by Robinson.
77'
...but it ends when Dann is ruled to be shoving Alcaraz.

Possession: Blackburn 34-66%
74'
Sixteen minutes and Rovers will go down, unless they can score here.
72'
Robinson takes a Boyce cross comfortably.
