It's nothing to do with not impressing. It's Mowbray getting these ideas in his head about who is ready and who isn't. Sometimes he puts them straight in, sometimes waits too long and there is no consistency as to his decision making process around this

I can't believe Magloire is starting. I know we are stuck for players, but surely we could have done something else? He looks miles off it. I really, really hope he proves me wrong because a win here would give us serious momentum and a great level of accomplishment before the break. Lose and we are looking at midtable and just a point ahead of Blackpool

It's unfair on us, not really on Magloire ,it's actually very fortunate for him to be given an opportunity way above his ability. Unfortunately, us and the team were punished for it. Obviously a quality DM would have been nice, but it was the Injuries to 2 key defenders that killed us. Edun can play CM seemingly, so the issues were compounded by Mowbray going full Mowbray with the subs and our goalkeeping coach messing up their introduction. Only at Rovers!

Travis to right back. @DE. Mentioned it and it reminded me I thought the same last night.

Ya, I thought Travis to right would have made sense. Edun on for Nyambe then. The subs yesterday were poor, no glossing over that. In timing, personnel and performances. The triple threat. On Lenihan as well ya, when I saw he was out I thought we are in trouble here , when Nyambe went off I felt it was game over. That's a huge problem.

Ah no, I thought we played ok, much better than last season, although it did remind me of last season near the end. Totally agree about Magloire. I can't recall a player who looked so out of his depth, although Poveda had a stinker, there is some hope for him I think. Malumby went to West brom on a loan to buy, so financial alright. He is more what we needed than Clarkson though. Ireland are worse than crap currently, but he's one of the best coming through, very combative. Clarkson looks a pathetic physical specimen, honestly, he has the build of a 14 year old. He makes Luka Modric look buff

Lenihan had a pretty good run at it last year and we can't just stockpile centre halves. Carter and Wharton look like able deputies and it's a pity the Brighton guy is injured, really we should have loaned a centre half who was ready to go. Magloire was dreadful last night confirms what I had suspected after watching him a couple of times before, he's League 2 standard, at best, possibly lower. I'll be frank, I hope I don't see him play for Rovers again. He's not good enough. Last night was a textbook Mowbray fuck up(the sub was Butterworth) , but it wasn't helped by Benson messing up the subs procedure with the 4th official, amateur hour, he literally had 1 job. Thant shambolic 10 minute period put us on a disjointed, downward spiral and I would have ripped your hand off for 2-2 then cos I knew there was only going to be 1 winner.

Hopefully not the start of something bad And hopefully Lenihan is back Saturday. I can clearly see why Magloire has been in Scotland and non league Khadra and Poveda stinking the joint up

This reminds me of last season. We aren't scoring if we had 20 minutes injury time

Losing Lenihan was bad enough, but losing Nyambe killed us.

Tinkering? What was he supposed to do? Maybe Butterworth, but can't really blame him for povedas performance

Butterworth on was the sub. Poveda has had one of the worst cameos I have ever seen.

Poveda having a stinker

Benson fucked up the subs with the 4th official leading to all that panic. He literally had 1 job

Indeed

Jesus Christ Benson you fucking moron

I still don't understand what you mean. Nyambe went off. He's a right back

Was 100% a penalty. More than clumsy in the box. No debate Great finish. He looks the real deal now I have to say. Looks a different man since the Copa America

How would that work? Pickering is left back

I love Diaz and I'm not afraid to say it Would take 2-2

Out jumped? Unfortunately he didn't even jump

Absolutely PATHETIC from Magloire. He's not good enough and it's a shame we have had to rely on him tonight.

Yes, I'm basing it on what I saw. Is that what happened? Fair enough.

Even if he had scored 5 goals there in 3 games, it wouldn't guarantee he would have been a success here and vice versa

In a way giving the players and Mowbray new contracts scares me insofar as it would upset the balance. Are they all fighting so hard because they are nearly out of contract? It has happened. Maybe I'm too cynical. Obviously signing the players up is the astute financial play here. Mowbrays future, whether here or elsewhere will be vastly different depending on how this season goes. If he got us into the play offs and still hadn't signed a new deal, his stock would be very high. I just want him to keep keeping things simple! I think Lenihan will sign a new deal, but I suspect Rothwell will be sold in January
