Wigan Athletic boss Leam Richardson is the favourite with one leading bookmaker for the vacant West Brom manager's job.
After saving Latics from relegation to League Two in his first season in charge, Richardson led Latics to the League One title last term, which saw him named the divisional Manager of the Year. And it would take a lot to prise Richardson away from the DW Stadium, especially after one of the stands was named after him following his exploits on and off the pitch during his time here. [Sean Dyche](/topic/sean-dyche) is the market leader across the board, and is second behind Richardson with Bet Victor.

Analysis, live updates and post-match reaction as Blackburn Rovers face Wigan Athletic in the Championship.
Wiga starting to turn the screw now. Every time the ball has gone forward the move has broken down for Rovers. Sloppy passes and the tactics don't seem to suit the players on the field. Both sides having little spells inside the first few minutes. Very passive off the ball, allowing Wigan to move the ball around with ease. Of course, Blackburn don't have a fantastic record away at the DW Stadium. I'd love to say this has been a big improvement on recent away performances but that would be a lie. No chances for either side as of yet. Boos from the away end. Both sets of fans growing restless with the performances. The hosts Wigan have yet to win on their own turf despite last season's home form being crucial in their promotion out of League One. With seven wins and six defeats from 13 Championship games, the onus is turning some of those losses into draws.

A win for Blackburn Rovers will surely be crucial from this one as they aim to return into the play-off places. Leam Richardson’s side will also surely be wanting to be more disciplined defensively after keeping just three clean sheets so far this season. Despite their league position, the Lancashire club will undoubtedly be aiming to gain some consistency.
Nathan Broadhead's goal just after the hour mark saw Wigan Athletic smash their home hoodoo with a deserved victory over Blackburn Rovers.
The win lifts Latics back up to ninth in the table, with 19 points from their 13 matches played, ahead of Saturday’s tough trip to Sunderland. At the other end, Ben Brereton-Diaz fired wide from Rovers’ only sight at goal in the first period. Broadhead – another to step up from the bench – and
Leam Richardson hailed the Wigan Athletic supporters for being his side's 12th Man in the huge victory over Blackburn Rovers.
"I thought that was the only difference tonight, and maybe that result was on the back of the output we had at Hull and against Cardiff. "We feed off the fans, and the fans feed off us, it's a real collective effort here. "After the game there's always a lot of emotion, but before the game I know our fans always get behind the players.

Rovers' struggles on the road continue at a ground where they have enjoyed very little success.
All five of their defeats away from home have been to nil, as was the home defeat to Stoke City. On the ball, the build-up was slow, movement static, and ultimately they were punished for taking too long on the ball in their own defensive third. They looked for Ben Brereton at every opportunity, but otherwise looked lost for ways o getting back into the game. The 5-2-3 formation asks a lot of the central midfield two, particularly against a Wigan side who operated with a four-man ‘box’ midfield. He conceded a number of cheap fouls when forced into his defensive work, and wasn’t able to provide any threat going the other way. Jon Dahl Tomasson stuck with 10 of the 11 players who started the win over Rotherham, with George Hirst for Sam Gallagher the one alteration. They managed only three shots at goal, none of which were on target. Tomasson changed the shape of the side to 4-3-3, with Adam Wharton replacing the injured Daniel Ayala, but was again the lack of minutes for Bradley Dack, not sent on until the 83rd minute despite Rovers chasing a goal, that bore the brunt of questions from supporters both at home and in the away end. Rovers have failed to score in five of their seven away matches, having also failed to find the net in seven of their final 12 away fixtures last season. Their ‘expected goals’ figure at Wigan was 0.18, and their figure of 0.67 expected goals per away game is the lowest in the division. While they have taken 15 points out of a possible 21 at Ewood, with five wins from seven, it’s the same number of defeats from their seven away fixtures. Nine of those visits have been a victory for the home side, with Rovers taking away just four points out of a possible 36, as well as defeat in the FA Cup in January.
