It's frustrating as we have passed it pretty well in recent games but it all seems to have been lost over the last 3. All I can put it down to is we are being pressed more effectively.

Actually scratch that - Armstrong for Gally or Graham would make sense. I know he's frustrating but he scores and creates goals from very little.

Rothwell was a total waste of space to be honest. Offered nothing. We have slightly improved since the change. Still abject on the ball though. Why isn't Holtby in squad?

Don't know about Mowbray but I'm bereft o ideas on how we can improve. Wouldn't bring anyone on.

What's happened to Tosin? None of the passing quality we've seen before.

Both sides look so so so so so poor on the ball.

Have to say Rothwell apart from one great game has looked absolutely ineffective despite given a long run in the side. Hard to argue with him being hooked. Nyambe is a big miss for me.

Have to say I don't get this. He's dropped everyone - Smallwood, Bennett, Evans, Williams, Armstrong, Johnson etc.

Sounds plausible in terms of the lack of info on what's going on with Tosin. On the other hand I can't see how an agent is able to influence whether he plays or not. More likely City have notified they want him back and will pay back the loan fee etc. What's strange though is that they haven't announced this. Why wait? All very odd.

Whens he back? Really really missed him again.

We we had one of those in Dack though he's out now. Have to agree that Graham is going to really struggle to make up the scoring gap.

Draw looked a fair result. The real key point is that without Tosin our possession game collapses, he opens up the game, allows everyone to push up. Wihout him we become very predictable. How long is it till he's back?

He goes inside though every time , if the oppos is weak through the middle he can be devastating, but if they're tight he's completely ineffective. It would be good to see someone really stretch a tight defence. It's worth at least giving Chapman a try. Could have made a big difference against Wigan. We need that option Id say.

Doh I read back 1 page...

Agree with the formation but would play Bennett and Bell instead of Downing and Armstrong.

On Boxing day I think we would have dropped Dack and turned the whole side over like at Bristol City any way, so we won't really see if we miss Dack till the game after that. Question is do we go 442 or stick with 4231. I personally would go 4231. Despite the team performing brilliantly Brereton was still a passenger last game. I just can't see the point. Also I do agree we need a bit of width on the bench. Crying out for it last night. Why not give Chapman or JRC a go? I think we can keep the run going as long as Tosin comes back.

I really hope he's not out for long. He's our best creator and goal scorer. That said with Holtby and Rothwell we have 2 ready made replacements, plus we can switch to 442. So we should be okay, providing someone picks up some scoring form.

Loss of Tosin is huge... With Tosin everyone can stepup and he'll find them with an incisive pass. Without him were just hoofing it or losing it.

I'd put Holtby on for Armstrong at half time. He's not going to get any space in behind.

We're really missing Tosin. Can't hold onto the ball.

You got me!

The way I see it either Tosin or Williams can play with Lenihan, but if Lenihan gets injured we're buggered. Why? Because Lenihan is committed and gets his head on the ball no matter what, whereas the other two want to play more of a luxury role. We need a second CB s solid as Lenihan, because if Darragh gets injured there is no chance of playoffs.

I don't really buy this. We play Armstrong on the wing virtually every game and he is abysmal defensively.

He was busting out a few step overs and all sorts. Looked a totally different player.

This has to be one of the most unbelievably stupid things I have ever seen. Is the Italian FA trolling everyone? If they are or they are not they should all be sacked.
