I just cant fathom the logic behind sticking in a young midfielder who isnt good enough full stop, in at a position he is unfamiliar with, purely to have a right footer at centre back.

yet again completely and utter ignoring the fact that I did actually mentioned a centre back in the same post in Tom Atcheson

I would start with the same team.

I personally thought Ohashi and Gudjohnsson battled well yesterday, the latters time will come.

We need a win. 

Missed another really good chance did Gudjonson, which I'm actually seeing as a positive. 

As the forwards union always say, you're more worried if you're not getting the chance in the first place. His movement in the box has been good  enough, we need to persevere with him. 

[roversfan99]

Hes been an absolute liability on the ball though, regularly losing the ball leading to dangerous counter attacks. Was one of the goals v Swansea as well as the Stoke one a result of his piss poor play?

There was a few times in the first half yesterday when we attacked where he didnt really make much movement. Even when he did have that half chance, had he moved earlier it could have been clear cut.

I would stick with the same team if possible. If not and Miller than I would start with Tom Atcheson or Kristi Montgomery at right centre back. Shame Carter not ready. 

Sheffield played a back 3 at the weekend 

not a fan personally of back 3 myself but without Cantwell I think 2 up front is the way to go 

Reading that gave me the shivers.

Firstly, I think it would be idiocy to play three at the back without Carter or Miller being available.  The folly of letting Hyam leave without replacement heightens by the hour.

Secondly, SU would have Atcheson and Montgomery for breakfast.  Only seen Atcheson play once and he was nowhere near ready and tbh not sure he ever will be from what I saw.  As for Montgomery, ffs, this is a lad who last season was scrambling around Marine and Chorley and in a matter of months some think he is a latter day Paul Madeley who played anywhere and everywhere for Leeds and England.  I think Montgomery is one of the most over-hyped players ever to come through the ranks at Rovers and is a pale, pale shadow of Jason Lowe - enough said!!!

Gudjohnsen didnt "battle well" yesterday. His incompetence to keep the ball led to a few dangerous counter attacks which has been a common theme across his 3 starts.

I thought he was in the 'donkey' class when I first saw him and I haven't seen anything in the slightest to change my mind.  IMO, we aint half signed some real dross in the summer window including the 'star' we chased all summer (Morishita) who seemingly has been 'sent to Coventry'.

Think this will be men against boys and another desperate defeat for Rovers to cement our place in the bottom three.

Far more concerned with what is happening on the Pitch Chaddy tbh.

Even if we do manage to win,its going to be nothing more than a season of survival,worry and frustration.

I think on Tuesday we will find out, how bad we really are!! 

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

I look at their team and then I look at our team. I can’t see us winning I’m afraid.

The chickens will come firmly home to roost on Tuesday.
