Does he fancy coming to manage here on a full time basis? ?

Don’t think he could have done any better for any of the goals. Feel for the lad having to make his debut when that half has just gone the way it has ? Kaminski be back in for Saturday hopefully anyway but I wouldn’t be to critical of Pears.

I know Reading have been clinical this season but Jesus that was a quickfire 3 goals, defence been awful. I said it on Saturday, for as much as Darragh puts himself about I’d start Ayala alongside Williams. We need an early goal in the second half or we’re done in this game. Credit to Reading.

They aren’t on Sky bet, we are just under evens to win where as reading are over 2/1. EDIT: We are even money and reading are 13/5

Top goal scorer ✅ Highest Home win ✅ Highest Away win ✅✅ We’re only a few games in but I don’t think anyone would have predicted that at the start of the season ? Tonight is a big test of our credentials and one I’m optimistic of us passing, I think we can put an end to their good run and I’m predicting a 3-1 Rovers win ??

I’m not a big reality TV fan myself but I like Dacky as a person, seems a good guy really and I love how football seems to be his life and his #1 priority (as it should be) can’t wait to see him back in a Rovers shirt.

Wouldn’t have minded picking up Kieffer Moore from Wigan. He went to Cardiff and won everything when we played them a few weeks ago, proper big lump ideal for when you need to go a bit more direct.

Yes ??

Played some great stuff today, fantastic result and £10 well spent, few beers watching the UFC tonight and hopefully we can produce another big performance against a Reading side who are flying, on Tuesday. COYB, Ben Brereton MOTM today. Looks a different player, never wanted a player to do well for us more than I do Big Ben, I hope he keeps this form up ??

I honestly think when Ayala is fit I’d play him and Williams at the back, Ayala has looked solid and Williams is more suited to that left centre back spot, Derrick hasn’t put a foot wrong this season. On this game we’ve got to kill it off in the second half because they’ll get one chance and knowing our luck they will score it. I love the way Trybull sits deep and spreads the ball, not seen him misplace a pass yet and Holtby is an absolute class above.

You’ve changed your tune ??

Short short memories? Give him a break, he was an awful left back but he’s put in a lot of good performances at centre half when he’s played there. He’s a more than capable back up option for us at centre back, a lot more capable than Wharton that’s for sure.

Rovers at 5/4 though Merce? Away banker get a little lump on it.

With Trybull looking the type to sit in the holding role and spread the ball, Holtby a bit further forward doing what he does and then Rothwell driving on. That midfield three will be our best by a long stretch.

Agreed on Buckley, nowhere near ready yet.

You could see the talent was there, there’s not many people in the side who could play the pass he played through to Armstrong when Foster tipped it over the bar. He will be a good player for us will Elliott.

Cardiff and forest we were poor I’m not disputing that but tonight we battered Watford, I don’t think they could go up another gear when they barely had the ball or barely attacked. Just one of those nights tonight. I knew as soon as the penalty was given Foster would save it.

He’d have got some minutes tonight if we didn’t need to replace Ayala. How can you be so negative after that performance honestly I don’t get it ? I can be very negative about Rovers but as Big Ron once said on Sky “If the lads need it I’ll whip em, but I ain’t whipping them for that tonight”

With Douglas to come in for Bell and Rothwell to come back in. A midfield three of Holtby Rothwell and Trybull and Douglas in at left back will make us a lot stronger, no need to over react over a defeat in a game which we absolutely dominated, it’s early days in the season yet and as much as it’s frustrating to come away with nothing tonight all the signs are there that this team can get in the top 6 this season I believe. Heads up boys, we play like that on Saturday Coventry will be put to the sword.

Douglas WILL be our starting left back soon enough, he only signed on Friday but he will be playing soon, he can think himself lucky he didn’t have to make his debut against Sarr, no left back in this division could live with him.

Are you on crack?

We’ve been the better team, they are just so dangerous when they break with Sarr, no defender in this division will be able to stop him when he starts running at you. If we play like we did in the first half, we can get back into this. Come on boys.

Yeah it’s a shame isn’t it, he used to be electric quick, in his first spell here he was class, I don’t think he’s good enough for this level these days, Chapman. I agree on your last statement to.

Despite Dolans last two performances being pretty quiet there’s no way I’d start Chapman ahead of him and I’d go Johnson instead of Evans purely for the fact Johnson can’t play worse than he did yesterday surely ?
