Definitely should have been in the squad but clearly the contract situation has made it easy for Mowbray to leave him out. Maybe we should have left out Lenihan and Rothwell and given others a game. Joke management again.

Would it be too much to ask to try and sign this type of midfielder?

But he hasn’t had all kids and loans at Rovers. Several of the ‘kids’ are now established first team players. As far as loans are concerned then yes, we have taken on kids from the Premier League which has generally worked out well.

Rothwell or Khadra not fit to play?

Luton on the basis that they have the tougher run in?

We can sneak back into the play-offs but all depends on availability of key players. We need Nyambe and Lenihan in defence and Brereton up front.

Another disappointing end to a game that we couldn’t see out following similar ones v Bristol and Sheff Utd but if we approach our remaining games like we did in the second half we still have a good chance of play offs. Looking at the fixtures, our rivals still have to play each other so points will be dropped. The big question is do we have the bottle?

Some late opportunities from the Ukraine conflict. Maybe a striker or two? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/60863037

We can only try and get maximum points ourselves. We have no control over the outcome of other matches. Hopefully we will have some of our key players back from injury to boost the squad.

My wife knows next to nothing about football but echoes your comments about Mowbray to a tee.

Top 6 definitely hasn’t gone but it’s going to take a big effort. We can’t afford anything less than 2 points average per game. Yes 14 points may be enough given that teams at the top have to play each other whilst we only play one other. Don’t get me wrong, I’m extremely shocked and surprised at how we have blown the second half of the season with or without Brereton. IMO opinion the last minute postponement of the Hull game was the start. A game we would have won turned into a defeat when it was replayed. Speculating about Mowbray short or long term won’t make any difference. We know he can put out a winning team and just hope the players are still up for it.

Too difficult to call. We have goalscorers and if we play like we did second half last night we will be in the mix for sure.

It’s incredible that we are still in a play off position considering our recent form. Had we won the games against Bristol C and Sheff Utd we would be in a strong position

To put things in perspective, if we had lost last night we would now be in 9th position

Thanks. There doesn’t seem to be an option on the Rovers website

Does anyone know if this game is available to watch on Rovers Tv in the UK?

Rubbish first half but we got at them in the second and should have scored from the penalty but instead we gifted them a goal at the death. The change to 442 was really what we needed because the 352 clearly wasn’t working. Would like to see this agin with Giles wide left and Khadra wide right. Gallagher and Dack/Dolan up top Dack coming back is a big plus even though he should have been nowhere near taking the penalty. It’s very disappointing to see us failing to score again and conceding a late goal but we are still in with a great chance of the play-offs. The next two games are winnable.

So Rovers with 1 win out of previous 5 matches versus Millwall with 5 wins out of 5. Hopefully we don’t get any snow before kick off!!! This isn’t going to be the easy home match that many are predicting. It will be tough BUT….much will depend on the players available. Lenihan presumably suspended after reaching 10 yellows and Zeefuik injured. Will this mean a change in formation? JRC did enough yesterday to suggest he will play. EDIT only on 9 yellows apparently Rothwell has to start if fit as should Gallagher as we need his height, preferably central. A recall too for Buckley? If Giles plays, it must be on the left surely to link up with Pickering. Should be a decent crowd but not sure how many Millwall fans will relish another trip up north although didn’t I hear they would have free travel?

Sickening result but after a shaky start we took the game to Sheffield who resorted to cheating tactics. They could and should have ended the match with 9 men. The challenge is how do we score goals without Brereton. The failure to sign a striker in January when we were in the driving seat will cost us dearly. Having said that, we are a battling team and we shouldn’t be written off just yet.

Thanks den

Same here from Huddersfield. Don’t fancy the M62 trip

All comes down to a failure to sign quality players in January. We will have to rely on the ones that started the season as the new signings are just average

Not yet seen any reasons given for Nyambe being dropped and the fact that he didn’t replace the injured Zeefuik is puzzling. but then again Mowbray isn’t going to admit spitting his dummy out is he? Pathetic management

Didn’t Groves score 5 when Shrewsbury beat Rovers 7-1 in 1971?

Can’t do worse than sticking Ayala up front and pinging the crosses in to him. OK that’s a silly thought!
