Another frustrating performance against a team well below us in the league. What amazed me was just how well organised Coventry were and that they had a proper game plan, getting the ball to their front two who never gave our defence a moments peace. In fact they were all a yard quicker to the ball. Whatever is happening on the training ground is not working for Rovers. We only seem to play well in spells. The defence, after improving with Lenihan and Williams there is now too easy to open up. Branthwaite will be a good player but he’s not what we need at the moment, better to put Ny

Cardiff showing what a change of manager can do! Mick Mccarthy getting more from the same players than Neil Harris.

Tough game this. We only just scraped a win at home when we were on form. Barnsley have some quality with Chaplin and Mowatt always playing well against us. Much will depend on who is available but its not a game for semi-fit players or ones who are short of form or confidence. The defence pretty much picks itself as despite his poor showing on Friday, Branthwaite is still the best available (unless Ayala makes a swift recovery). Douglas or Bell at left back is a toss up with neither being too effective. Evans or Trybull to return? The main thing is that we set up pro

Gallagher has had some success when he has played against Preston previously so may get the nod in front of Brereton. Midfield area is a concern with lack of anyone with creativity. Rothwell blows hot and cold and with Holtby out we are too reliant on Travis. Could we see Evans back?

As much as Brereton has improved this season he is nowhere near Prem level. Chile international? Really? Two cracking goals with either foot from Chapman in League 1 may be his level. Maybe Brereton could do with a spell there.

No Holtby. I hope he’s not fallen out with Mowbray.

No iFollow today as the game is on Sky. if you don't have Sky you can buy a day pass from Now TV COYB

Got no problem with this game being called off. Its not like we have a fully fit squad and are in form.

Game is off

We win tomorrow and potentially go into 8th. Its still doable to get into the top 6 but we need to find some consistency.

Locked in and snowed in here in Huddersfield so thought I may as well start a match topic for this weekend’s game against Stoke. Weather not looking too promising for Ewood on Saturday, with heavy rain forecast which of course will guarantee the pitch to be even worse than it has been in recent matches. As for Stoke we know exactly what they are about having played them just before Xmas since when they have added a few players to their squad, the latest being Jack Clarke from Spurs, a promising wide player originally at Leeds. Lets hope we have a full back capable of handl

IMO Armstrong going nowhere. Most certainly not to the Premier League for a massive fee. As for the badly needed centre back, as usual it will be an 11th hour signing on the last day of the window. We need one now i.e. before the Stoke match.

Its not just Rovers fans affected by this. i believe Derby fans have been hit by the same daft decision. The money paid to EFL by season pass holders will go to the club anyway so Im not sure why they cant simply refund everyone? Unless they cant be doing with the hassle. Either way, the club is clearly in breach of contract (not that I suggest anyone taking legal action over this). Hopefully the club will offer refunds to those who request one.

Pretty much clear of any snow near the stadium so barring any tea time blizzard we should be good to go
