Brereton has just come back from injury and has been a revelation this season. I can't figure out why he isn't giving Downing more time on the pitch by now.

We're one game away from half way through the season. It's not over, but it might be time for a change. We are three points behind Preston who looked abysmal against us, but I refuse to let go of the play-off hope. The first couple of games we looked full of excitement, now we look weary and one-dimensional.

Might be time to let Damien Johnson take over. Not convinced by our (lack of ) consistency. Dack coming back won't solve our defensive problems.

Shane Duffy

Why is Johnson even marking the tallest player on the pitch? Should be Ayala... Come on!

Too many straight lofted balls going forward. Think we might need Dacks imagination in this one. Huddersfield are there for the taking in the second half. Rusty Bell, rusty Brereton and an out of form Holtby on the pitch at the moment. COYR!

Can't believe the ref didn't even tick Westwood off for all his time wasting. Borefest Wednesday.

Nothing happened before Gallagher basically subbed himself off. WIth Brereton and Dack back, we will score loads of goals going forward. I would start Downing over Holtby at the moment, the latter needs a little rest before coming back to his best. Fluke goal for them and we were the superior side, but not to be. Good to see Dack playing well. Oh, and we need a new left back.

Mowbray for prez!

Whenever Gallagher starts we play a different style of football. Brereton is far superior. Still time to turn this around but we're not looking like scoring.

What the flying f...

Not good...they're bringing us down to their level. The Ewood pitch doesn't exactly invite sexy football.

Crazy that we're sitting in 12th, 12 points behind league leaders Norwich, with only two teams on better goal difference than us (Watford the same). Going forward Ayala needs to be in the team alongside Lenihan, and let them form a strong partnership. Douglas hasn't impressed me so far. Lacks pace, decision making and slows down play too much. Has a good left peg but when Gallagher plays on his side there no one to cross to (in the air). To everyone saying this season is already over: Nonsense.

This wasn’t a brutally unlucky defeat. They were the better side in the first half and although we started well in the second, we had no response after their fluke goal. How easy was Tettey able to cross it for their first, and look at how Pukki turned Gallagher. Against Bristol City it was Williams who was a yard or two away from his man inside his own 6 yard box. Not good enough.

Ouf painful stuff. Brereton > Gallagher Hope Armstrong realises it’s a team game again soon. To be fair to Mowbray I would have picked the same side other than swapped Williams for Ayala. They’re a good side Norwich...

Great stuff. Lapse of concentration by Lenihan towards the end of the half could have cost us, but we have been by far the better team. Holtby running the show with Brereton again looking lively. Both fullbacks looking tidy, and Wharton putting in a mature display.

I'll take that point. A lot of injured players and a different, more direct, gameplan tonight. Although it didn't work, at least Mowbray adjusted at the break and we looked a better side in the second half.

Trybull is a poor man's Jermaine Jones.

Not watching Rovers - Boro?

Gallagher had a great opportunity to slip Brereton (?) through who would have been clean through. Tried to pass it around the defender with the outside of his boot instead of playing it straight through the middle.

Boro are a good side to be fair. Hard working and good defensively.

Not for me. Dijksteel has had an easy task against him and he offers no help defensively.

I'd sub Dolan for Rothwell during the break.

He's on a yellow. Poor decision by the ref. Not much help defensively from the other midfielders.

Being outworked and outclassed here. Too few outlets unfortunately, but hopefully we can snatch a goal and turn the momentum around.
