It'll be some feat if we manage a shot on target tomorrow.

Rovers to win 2 nil tomorrow night. 

Gallagher and Dolan to score

That's a huge miss. Without BBD he and Rothwell are about the only two who could produce something out of nothing.

Even more difficult to see where a goal will come from.

Anybody think Hedges worth a start ? If not why did we pay a fee to sign him ?

That's a question for Mowbray.

I’d definitely give him a start. We need to change something round.

If he has to miss one game then so be it so make sure he is fit for the next 3 games before the international break. We have 4 games to play before the 2 weeks break

I wouldn't myself for this game given but you could start Hedges and move Giles to left wing back to put crosses in for Gallagher, Dolan, etc. Maybe Mowbray might do that

[Miller11]

I’d change the system slightly. Gallagher as a centre forward, reluctant as he seems to be to play there, no false anything’s.

.                      Kaminski

      Lenihan  Van Hecke  Wharton

Buckley                                        Giles

                Travis       Johnson

    Dolan       Gallagher    Hedges

Pears, Brown, Pickering, Rothwell, Vale, JRC, Dack

I think I’d give Rothwell a go instead of Johnson.

Couldn't agree more.

He must be fit, he was playing regular football.

After pursuing him for so long SURELY he's not decided he's actually signed a dud?

agree,as long as he`s pushed up the pitch though,he `s no good taking the ball of the centre backs

I think he'll play Rothwell behind Gally and Dolan.

It's so difficult to know what line-up will re-light the blue touch-paper. 

The one thing we are sure about is that Tony doesn't know either. Having to wait until he accidentally finds the right formula, like he did after the Fulham game, is increasingly painful.

There would be some symmetry in starting an 11 game winning run after a defeat to Fulham.

We can but dream....

Yes, I want to see him start. From the little we have seen of him so far, I thought he looked ok. It's too early to say either way, but he had some nice touches and showed a bit of skill down the line a couple of times. Let's see him over a couple of games.

Hopefully Giles is at left wing back tomorrow. Playing him on the right of the attack is unnecessarily complicating things. He's no Salah or Robben.

I can see us nicking a 1-0 tomorrow.

[DeeCee]

How about playing SG as a c/f with Dolan and Giles crossing? Just a thought Tony?

More money wasted by the management team,should have just waited for the summer,for a team in a lot of debt we don't half piss away tons of cash.

Don't be silly,   there is  logic being applied to that statement ..

Too easy. Or Hedges crossing, that’s probably too easy as well.

Agree.

We don't want to change too much as Saturday aside we are still keeping it quite tight at the back. That's down to the system so going back to many changes and square pegs in round holes against an organized side might prove costly.

Rovers can't batter teams this season it's all about the grind, three or one point in that order. Once the rotating starts and systems start changing we'll implode imo.  End of the day whatever we do we don't have enough players carrying genuine goal threat. 

So at least keep it tight at the back and hope to grab something, as always score first and we'll win.

I remember a truly brilliant Dolan cross for a Brereton goal earlier in the season so he has that in him and we know Giles was brought in for that reason, seems obvious!

[roversfan99]

I think that is the only time that Dolan has crossed like that and Gallagher is hardly the ideal target to score from such chances to be fair.
