Re. Cantwell, he created and had Gudjohnsen put his flick away, he'd be getting more praise. He'll occasionally be frustrating but also provide some magic or break momentum and win fouls. Him baradji and trondstad just need the chance to continue to work together consistently

There are big question marks over Bilic. But hes a far better bet that some of the other dross who seem heavily linked.

Cantwell is an 'If' player - If we can find a position for him If it's in the right formation If we can protect him If he can find some form If he can forge a partnership If he stays fit Then he'll be a big, big player for us. Needs everything on a plate. Szmodics or Dack didn't do 'If', just made it happen.

I'm not sure if it was that well received? Tronstad is right there (yes, I know my audience and I know he's off at the end of the year). I'd rather he didn't play next game but we're backed into a corner now.

it does`nt matter who the manager is,they won`t be allowed to succeed,though i would be fuming if russell martin managed to get the job

I agree he has the quality. Im just saying he ain’t performing to it. He is also a poor captain. I don’t think anyone with a straight face can argue against that.

Not the games I've watched. He's been anonymous at best these past few months

Obviously the important thing was the victory. But it was an almost certainty considering that Sheffield Wednesday are not a competitive team, hence this being their 8th successive defeat without a goal. They needed something off the bench and could only bring on random kids. But performance wise, I thought we were really poor and overall it was a dismal night of football on the eye. The team selection was strange, whether it was Johnson, Gestede or a team already selected and prepared for by Ismael. Also thought he took too long with subs. De Neve is clearly not a footballer, and was obviously a waste of time. Jorgensen looks really poor too, offers nothing. Really weak, slow, and when given half a chance comes up short. Cantwell was absolutely dreadful, did very well to last the full game. Baradji is a strange player, at times doing really good things, at times being a liability. Tronstad was by far our best player, should have been man of the match. Good to see Carter do an hour, signs of rust but he starts in our best team if only he wasnt made of glass. Cashin again did well. Also, our set piece coach needs binning.

Awful performance . Everything is so laboured and dull. Why we're playing a centre half at left back when we've two solid left backs. Pickering also has shown he's useful at set pieces AND he's actually our own player. Not sure of Morishitas best position. Could imagine, a bit like Emerton, him being more effective coming from deep in a wing back role.. Cantwell, never seen anything in him. Agree regarding Joseph. Give him a go. Rather see Atcheson play over Mclouglin

To be fair everyone was hailing it as an Ismael masterstroke earlier on in the season. I thought Cantwell was much improved at that point on last season but I have to say that following his return from a mysterious 2 month absence for a "kick on the knee" he's gone back to what he was like last season. An absolute waste of space.

Need to understand if they're going for someone to just keep us up, or someone aiming to get us promoted from league one at the first time of asking...

a terrible game by two terrible sides (at least sheff wed have an excuse),though im`e glad of 3 points first impresion of jorgensen is he`s ****** lightweight,seriously lightweight,the sheff wed centre could have brought his armchair,hopefully he`ll get better when he gets used to the english game

The same old story, we clung on for dear life at times, with a slender 1-0 lead, and it took a defender to win the game. Please Rovers, learn to win a game more comfortably.

Cantwell has been the quality player we expected him to be for most of this season, like everyone else, he’s surrounded by dross, has no manager and all that is bound to have an impact.

I don't buy into this romantic ex player stuff or ex manager coming back. Anyone pre Venkys who gets the club isn't going to experience it in the same way and unless living under a rock will know that. It's not an environment built for success so who wants relegation on their CV. Anyone since Venkys knows what it's like to work here so again wouldn't come. Best bet is someone out of work who believes they can pull off an escape to raise their profile for an improved opportunity in the Summer. Anyone punching high in league 1 I think would see it through to completion rather than join here under these circumstances. It's similar with the transfer window. What top no.9 was going to sign for the club that's a total embarrassment and in free fall towards relegation. Those strikers get snapped up by the promotion chasers. Unproven potential or journeymen looking for final pay day would have been the choices and I dare say no upgrade on what we have. Unless of course money talks but we don't spend that either!

Certainly not doing.

He should have been taken off at half time, he was a liability tonight, he stumbled, and lost the ball, every time he got it..Like you say hes a decent player, bad day at the office.

Well, they did appoint Coyle..

I can't agree, if everyone had his lack of ability we'd be ten points adrift of safety.

Some people have given Miller some stick on this site, deservedly man of the match. He gives 120% every game, if the rest of the team followed suit, we'd be out of the relegation zone.

Technically you can make that point but mentally and attitude, he’s last on my team sheet. If I had to pick one player to keep from that 11, it’s tronstad all day.

Everyone has a bad game don’t they? Cantwell included. He’s still the best player at the club.

The depressing gloom, at Ewood lifted, but let's not get carried away.

He played absolutely terribly Gav, he walked around, threw himself on the floor and kicked the ball out of play more than finding the man.

Coleman doesn’t seem to stay in a job long! Last six appointments since leaving Wales: Sunderland - 5 months Hebei China Fortune - 11 months Atromitis - 22 months AEL Limassol - 6 months OH Leuven - 6 months Asteras Tripolis - 3 months Rudy would probably give him a three year contract!
