Cannot complain about the performance from around the 35th minute tbf. Despite the depleted squad, we were by far the better team bar a few dodgy moments at the back. Expected nothing but well worth the 3 points.

The alternative was Gueye - I get it.

I apprecaite he's coming back from injury, but my first impression is that he is incredibly lazy.

Gueye is a shocking footballer.

I'd chastise these subs but we're so stripped of quality I don't know what the alternatives would be.

Why does Pears never catch the ball? I just don't get it.

Risk with that one is we have a lot of games coming thick and fast and this 11 can't play it all.

Smart swapping his side as well. They're starting to get joy down our left because we only have one Alebiosu.

Started off poorly but grown into this game. Another great cross.

As with Hedges against Derby, it makes it easier when the other team isn't really attacking. That said, he's looked much more solid than Miller when he's been called upon.

Performance so far this half has been decent but I'm just waiting for the kick in the teeth. Our backline has no shape at all.

If he hadn't scored those tap-ins Gudjohnsen would be with be in the Kargbo and Tavares tier of useless.

There were 5 or 6 players at fault there for sure.

Midfield has generally been pretty good, but our CBs and Strikers are shocking again. We will be lucky to survive this season.

Are you serious lads. Ffs

Bloody hell we scored from a cross! Much better last 5 mins.

I want to like Mori but he just falls over every time someone is near him. He doesn't have the tenacity and workrate Yuki has despite his own flaws.

A couple of times now. To be fair to him he's done well. Lads in front of him, questionable.

Ismael's a clown. The crossing and long throw statistics tell you all you need to know, but game after game we launch long balls into teams despite in bringing us nothing.

I'm not. Gueye's physicality is more hindrance than help and he's almost always offside. That's not me saying our strikers are good mind, just another indictment of our "transition".

Morishita is just too lightweight - that might be the most embarrassing way I've ever seen anyone lose possession.

We are unbelievably sloppy in every area of the pitch. Nothing is ever measured or controlled, just pinging about and hoping for the best.

Already starting where we left off with the pointless Miller throws.

Pratt clearly wasn't considered good enough at the start of the season or he wouldn't have been shipped out to Chorley, so I'm not expecting anything from him. This is where (again) the really lazy transfer strategies begin to hurt, and I'm fully expecting to get a pasting. We have been absolutely outmanned every time we've played a physical team this season, and this will be the same. Preston 3-0 Rovers

All the talk I've seen so far is about shipping Gueye and Tronstad out and replacing them, rather than bolstering our squad which is needed. That said, Gueye is a major waste of a squad berth. There is maybe half a team that I think are good enough at this level who can stay fit consistently. If December goes how many expect, we could be in desperate need of significant reinforcements come January, but even if we had the funds I have zero faith in the team responsible for getting them.
