Think we've won 4 of the last 15 league matches. 

It's a miracle we stayed in there so long. 

Last 6 games :  WLWWLD

Doesn't look quite so bad, but boy oh boy do we need to improve on today's performance at Derby.

Big following be there too.

Up the Rovers !

I am sure Dennis will gift Weimann half his wages for getting Rovers out of jail. An expensive late panic signing who flatters to deceive  

As far as signings go Weimann is a bargain. Forshaw a poor make weight. Glad Trondstadt is back.

It was onside 

Very tight, but looked just off to me.

Result on a piece of paper, 1 - 1 against one of our recent bogey teams at Ewood.

I’ll take it 🙂

Id say just Ribeiro.

You can see why we only paid £1m for Kargbo. I mentally switch off when he gets the ball because you know nothing will eventually come of it.

He looks like prime Ronaldo compared to Hedges though.

I think that's unfair, I think Kargbo looked a threat today and definitely offers something no one else in the squad does with his pace.

[DE.]

At least Dennis is only a loan for a few months. Still a horrendous waste of money, but still, could be worse. 

[Tom]

Great point in the end that, can’t believe anyone would complain about the ref for us with the 2 blatant red cards we got away with. We’ve absolutely benefited from poor officiating today. 

Hyam likely to have a ban incoming for his stupidity.

Weimann is a class option to have, I thought the subs were the right ones today by hook or by crook

O please! What a ridiculous comment. Kargbo does tend to ball watch on his defensive duties but bar his horrendous touch in the first 5 minutes he was and is a threat.

Miles ahead of what we have in Hedges and Dolan.

You are right, it was tight, but on for me 

[speeeeeeedie]

That game had a draw written all over it. 85 minutes of toil followed by 10 minutes of madness yet the result was the same. 

No final ball at all today. 

I thought that the manager did well. Decent subs for what he has available and they looked lively. 

[Tom]

I was impressed with Kargbo today, couple of times he didn’t have the desired effect forward or back but he put the yards in and snuffed out danger a few times, exciting to see someone take on a man as well and get to the byline 

Dennis has played himself out of contention but with Gueye looking good and Ohashi coming back it’s nice to have options.

Sadly Cantwell looks like he’s not going to do it here

[martonrover]

Our end of the Window loan flurry isn’t looking too good.

It was surely obvious that Dennis wouldn’t be ready to make an impact having barely kicked a ball all season.

God knows what shape Woodrow must be in if Dennis gets on ahead of him,

Can Hyam be punished? In theory the officials saw it coz ref had a word.

We were getting up a head of steam and really pressuring a tiring Norwich side when that second yellow came. I didn’t think it was a yellow card though. Crisenie’s theatrical rolling over and over got him booked. A weak refereeing decision, one of many unfortunately.

Dennis was unlucky..  Madness to be writing him off already.. Is it a one game ban for two yellows?

Hard to see how we will get a playoff spot after that performance.

Very lucky to get a point this game and will be difficult going forward as we will have to win and others slip up now that we are out the top 6. 

Last two really. Our form has fallen off. Really need Trondstad back.

He really wasn’t. Maybe a bit unlucky to get a yellow for the second, but lucky not to get a red for the first.

He made a few decent runs and showed more desire than Dolan...But he's not covered himself in glory missing the next match.

We looked so much better when he came on. Foreshaw is just not a good player.

[BankEnd Rover]

What was Hyam thinking?! That kind of behaviour is not like him.

We never ever ever score 90th minute winners. Conceding them though? Yeah we’re okay at that: 

no but that felt like a winner

[Tugayisgod]

Have to admire the attitude after going behind on 90 mins with 10 men ,so has to be regarded as a decent point at the end of the day.

Positives

Brittain excellent again , mom for me

Carter looked like he'd never been away.

Kargbo showed he can be a real threat and will only improve with more game time

Tronstad making his comeback 

Negatives

Dolan , won't lose any sleep if/when he leaves

He’s hugely lucky - got himself a one game van rather than three, let’s be honest it was a disgusting tackle could have easily been a leg breaker 

[simongarnerisgod]

we looked a yard slower than norwich all game,i`ll put that down to new manager bedding in syndrome!!!

dolan was abominally shocking,you ar`nt much use to a club if you only have 1 good game in 10

cantwell and kargbo did ok till they faded a bit in the 2nd half

it`s massive for us to have tronstadt and carter back,yuki as well

dennis looks so short of match fitness,it`s beginning to look like a massive mistake signing him,though he was unlucky to be sent off,what`s he supposed to do,not go for the ball

[TheFinalCountdown]

Terrible refereeing (for both Teams). I couldn't see us scoring, so I'm still hyper after the equaliser. 

Neither team deserved to win or lose.

I thought we were very disappointing.

Don't get me started on our set pieces.
