I watch every Rovers game on the Rovers player and most of the Under 21 games. I am not fortunate enough to go.

Joao looks like a target man that filled the inside left channel well on Saturday, but is a striker to me. Against 10 men that possible to play that way.

Are we going to pretend like Joao didn't play well on Saturday? Doesn't matter if it was only one game, if he is on form he should start especially when Graham is hardly setting the heather ablaze this season.

He's deserved a start after the weekend tbh, sends a message out to the others too

Isnt Graham our top scorer? 

The fitness of Graham is his biggest problem. Coyle training style made him alot worse for him. No proper manager would allow him to get into that way.

Not disputing that Jaoa did well with his goals,but to say he looked like a premier league striker is going way way too far.

Danny Graham hasn't been great recently but he is our top scorer and he is contracted to the club, the rest of our strikers will go back to their clubs at the end of the season.

Graham set to the goal at the weekend,Emnes did absolutely nothing but I don't see you calling him out

Told Graham struggling with a bad injury hence lack of training.

Rovers make one change from the side that drew with Norwich at the weekend as Craig Conway comes in for Liam Feeney who drops to the bench. https://t.co/dbX68AlWP7

One eye on the weekend you imagine, which really is a must win.

Draw tonight would be a decent result.

A draw tonight would be a great result.

Conway to score tonight! Baby born, chance to turn the bad form around under Mowbray. 

Issues aside and we are uncovering these day by day but I will not ever want to see the lads do well. 

 

[frosty]

Come on Rovers! Thought we might have made one or two more changes but at least we know Mowbray won't hesitate to put Joao/Mahoney on if things aren't going to plan.

No Mike. Missed Norwich, missing Fulham and Brighton. Back on the road for Reading.

That'll be three league games missed in the last three seasons.

 

Make sure they get something, hope you get to enjoy a win. I think Warren is on his way down.

No Wazza not coming but working on him for Wolves away.  You keep well and COYB.

[davulsukur]

Let's hope we can get a result.

 

Not confident at all though.

[bluefred]

Must admit I'd be more confident if we had a compitant keeper ,

steel costs us to many goals .

I know what you mean. Who needs punctuation and proof-reading?

[AllRoverAsia]

The Bench is looking stronger these days ex Brown maybe.

Rovers to win 1-2 I hope

Also hope Wolves bottle it tonight.

Well thanks for that "Bazza" ... I'll certainly take that on board when typing up from my mobile next time. Out of interest if that's your username should you not have a capital letter for "Bazza"?

[chaddyrovers]

I think we get a point tonight.

I agree with you Chadds. Is Chris Martin starting or Ayite?

[LewisF]

1-1. If we defend well (a big IF) then I fancy us to nick a draw. Aluko for them, Mahoney for us

[philipl]

Far too much optimism on here. Fulham ripped Newcastle a new one at St James' Park on Saturday.

If we get anything tonight, it is likely to be highly flukey. Our defense and midfield will not be able to live with this Fulham side if they are on song.

Martin on bench. Ayite not in the 18

Aluko up front

Cheers buddy.

fancy our chances, sessegnon has pace and delivery but hopefully we can put in an early "reducer". Aluko I rated but his record with Fulham ain't great, I know he had a bad knee at Hull but not the same threat he used to be.

Sone Aluko, maybe he's back in form, in his last 3 league games he's scored once and had 4 assists.

Interesting now that Hoban is back at CB. Wonder who will make way when Mulgrew is fit? Lowe? Or would he rotate Hoban?
