This is fucking dismal.

The only important thing on Mowbray's mind will be whether Gallagher is fit.

It's because it worked for the Brereton goal. What he doesn't realise is it took an extraordinary strike to get it in the net.

Really poor stuff this. I admire the positivity of some of you on here but you must be watching a different game. When players like Bell, Johnson and Evans are in the team I find it difficult to muster any positivity.

But we all know he'll take off Elliott and Holtby.

Need to get Bell off asap. Though looking at his positioning it looks as if he's been told to be there/position himself further up the pitch. In any case one of the worst players I've seen in a Rovers shirt.

Admittedly, I've forgotten what a proper left back looks like too.

Bell missing again, they almost score. Should have scored.

Wtf is Bell doing?!

Kinell!

Full back missing twice.

Someone's done their homework.

Then he did it again with Gallagher!

He really didn't. Johnson was very poor too.

Dolan wasn't actually bad in the last game, just unable to do anything with the players around him. He was trying.

I think all three are passengers and that's three too many if you want to win games. The only positive I can find is that Gallagher is nowhere near the team.

Bell, Evans, Brereton starting ?

The tombola will be out now. Made worse by the fact iFollow has their own shenanigans. It's double the smack in the face when we lose. Equivalent of going to the match and being forced to watch it on your laptop whilst an annoying cnut sporadically waves in front of your face.

We shouldn't play him at all, he's bleeding awful.

I can't see any team challenging for a runners up place with two big money strikers who can't score. It's a big burden to put on Armstrong before Dack comes back. The only positive I can take is after many years we finally have a decent defence and goalkeeper.

I think because we are stuck with a handful of bad eggs Mowbray will resort to playing them. Even if it's not often it'll impact on the points tally. Bell, Gallagher, Brereton and Evans will all play a lot this season despite the majority of fans refusing to believe it. If one of Gallagher or Brereton looked likely to put a shift in I'd start believing. Only thing Gallagher did right today was tie his hair up.

The players that were out playing were signed and/or trusted by the manager. Difficult not to be frustrated.

I'll guess that we'll finish about where we are now.

He's a striker that doesn't score, it's as clear as that with me. Fair enough he's 21 and has time to develop. I can't see it but there's a chance it'll happen. Sam Gallagher on the other hand is 25 and realistically we are now stuck with the bastard child of Ashley Ward and Rodney Trotter. 5 millions worth of him. Tony Mowbray's school of football management. Sign a striker on a big contract for big money - balls it up. Sign another striker on more money upfront to disguise the other striker that can't score - balls it up. Chance upon a young player so everyone forgets earlier misfires - WIN. Entire team has a shit day - end game playing with both strikers that you pissed away most of our funds on, both of which can barely stand up properly never mind play football. After today I fully expect both of them to be playing next game and for the majority of games this season. When I saw Gallagher lining up I thought he was going to swap him with Brereton. Johnson and Evans should have been replaced a long time ago. Buckley is in the same camp as Brereton, not ready and maybe never will. We certainly shouldn't be pinning our hopes on players like that to do jobs for us.

Thanks to his gamble he'll still play Gallagher and Brereton and shift someone better out. I'd have kept Danny Graham, despite his age better than both. Infact take any young bricky from a building site and stick them there, tell them they'll be a millionaire before they are 25 and I'm sure they'd put more into the game. Actually take an aged bricky with a wooden leg and they'd still put more in.
