This is how it looks to me. Tonys gone from saying that the players here need to improve or they will replaced to that he's happy with the squad. If he intends to stick to the time frame above then its odd that we would be happy to sit out a transfer window. If we win on Saturday we'd go level on points with Hull and would be 3 points off the playoffs. You would think that might trigger us to get one decent signing in if only only loan to give it a go. If we don't and we fall away i'd be satisfied to see the likes of Butterworth, Davenport, Brereton, Rothwell, Buckley, Mols, Magloire some game time.

I think we'll make do with Lenihan, Mulgrew, Williams, Rodwell as the main 4 and if we're struggling then Nyambe or Magloire and Platt from the under 23's

Noticed Preston have signed another player - is that 5 or 6 they've signed this window?

Outside of Blackburn i've always found Tugay to be extremely underrated. People tend to remember him as the guy who scored a screamer once a season, but he was so much more. When his name comes up those goals aren't at the front of my mind. There is a video somewhere on YouTube of him (I can't find it right now as i'm at work) just controlling play from deep, turning out of danger and spraying passes, its mesmeric and perfectly shows what he was about as a player. He was a great showman too really played to the crowd, we haven't had anyone like that since. Anyway he's my favourite Rovers player of all time, and I'd be surprised if that answer changed before the end of my life. If we have another player i enjoy to watch as much a did Tugay i'd be a very happy man.

Must admit that caught me off guard quite a bit.

Was thinking this myself. No idea why Kean picked him, he looked like a kid that had won a competition, just looked lost and the few times he got the ball it just bounced off him. Genuinely think that was an Ali Dia situation, within a year he was playing at Whitehawk!!!

Magloire, Platt or recalling Wharton?

Would that make Marcus Olsson available? Would anybody take him back considering the issues we have at left back? Am I being unoriginal by suggesting a former player?

I he drops Travis i'll cry

I don't know if he's got no end product because he barely gets a chance. Armstrong playing on the wing frequently fails with his final ball but still gets chances.

Don't agree with Dack wide left, but agree about Bell. He's not good enough but he's a lot better than Williams.

I feel sorry for Rothwell. What does he have to do to get a game. Nuttall on the wing was baffling. playing a barely able to move Graham for 120 minutes when we have a game Saturday was equally baffling

Nope.

I think Tony will bring him straight back in as he's fresh and he loves him. That would shunt Reed back out to the wing. I'd love to see Reed and Travis play together in centre mid.

Think Evans and Mulgrew won't be risked. I'd go Raya Nyambe Lenihan Rodwell Bell Bennett Reed Travis Armstrong Dack Graham Subs: Leutwiler, Grayson, Smallwood, Rothwell, Butterworth, Brereton, Nuttall.

He likes nearly everything Rovers post on Instagram. He was supposedly desperate to come back a few years ago as a coach. Or am i mis-remembering that?

What’s always annoyed me about Nuttall is that he never worked hard enough or put himself about enough in his previous chances in the first team. So when he got picked to start today that’s what I was looking for, and he really impressed me in that respect. It was a big improvement, he closed people down, won headers, offered himself more often. It wasn’t a perfect performance but enough to warrant another chance. Hes clearly got that strikers instinct in the box, he’s quick (ish), he’s strong, he’s tall, and he’s better at leading the line on his own than the other Danny Graham deputies. I hope he gets some game time as Graham’s 70th minute sub.

No point keeping Wharton around unless the lad is going to play. He needs to be recalled and sent somewhere he will actually start every week. I still think that he could do that at league 1 level, lad needs 1st team experience.

Judging by what Mowbray has said it looks like he wants to go play 1st team football which is fair enough. Got to factor in he's out of contract in the summer anyway along with Rodwell. We really need another centre half even if he was to stay, I prefer Williams at cb to lb but doesn't mean he's any good. Rodwell at CB hasn't worked so far and I can't see it working unless we switch to a back 3. Would anyone fancy Steven Caulker, I see he's without a club?

I think that being a bit selective. He made a massive mistake in the Boro game which got him dropped. Complete air kick under no pressure that put their striker clean through on goal he got very lucky that it didn't cost us a point. He had a very good game vs Sheff Wednesday but he was very poor in his appearance earlier in the season. He's a League 1 defender who did a job for us when we were at that level. If we got an adequate replacement such as Bauer I would be fine with him leaving.

What Nixon lazy reporting? Never

Raya Nyambe Lenihan Mulgrew Bell Bennett Reed Travis Rothwell Dack Graham Subs: Canadian, Williams, Rodwell, Evans, Conway, Armstrong, Brereton. (wouldn't mind seeing Nuttall or Butterworth on the bench)

I don't think we play with inside forwards. I think we play with one defensive winger (Bennett, Conway, Reed) and one attack minded inverted winger (Armstrong/ Palmer/Rothwell). It's still a flat 4 in the middle. We still use a right footer on the right, no reasons why we can't go get a proper winger to replace Palmer.

I really like Zohore would be a good direct replacement for Graham. Holds the ball up very well

Evans is okay. I think Reed is better. On current form so is Travis but he needs to prove it over an extended run of games. For my Reed does well out wide because he's one of those players who can play anywhere, his work rate and stamina is incredible and he's tidy technically. But he's not really a wide players he doesn't offer anything attacking wise you'd want from a winger. I'd also argue we don't play a 4-2-3-1. we play a more 4-4-2 or 4-4-1-1 with Dack as a second striker
