Ties in with Mowbray talking a lot recently about bringing somebody in with pace during January. Sounds one of the worst hamstring injuries that I can recall - usually it’s a 3-4 month (ish) job for a hamstring operation and recovery isn’t it?

Would be nice. First time we’ve done 5 on the spin since under Souness in 2000 by the way. Just the 17 years!

Great turnaround this. Will be the first time we’ve won five league games on the trot for...anyone? Hope MK can hold on for a point against the Shrews.

Need a draw at least here with others winning. Losing would be a poor result. Looks as if the huge wait for 5 league wins in a row will go on...

Parson, do we have anyone in the Chapman mould who could potentially step up in his absence? Pace and likes to beat a man. Is JRC very quick?

6-0 now. What more do some of these lads need to do?

Somebody I know mentioned that he was thrown on cold too - having no warm up whatsoever. If that is true then Mowbray and the physios want flogging.

Goodbye pace, was nice knowing you ever so briefly.

3-0 now. It's getting bloody ridiculous; some of these lads deserve a chance.

How many goals did the likes of Neville and Cole score? Even the likes of Walker only ever score extremely rarely today. So long as they're defending well, and adding value going forward through assists and providing telling passes, then what's the issue?

One bluenose quote on Twitter had me laughing my tits off, 'he needs to pass it forward a bit.'

Steele dropped by Sunderland already.

Doyle has got to be worth a punt over Williams at LB or God forbid, LWB in one of Mowbray's master formations.

The John Stones of the lower leagues. Rolls Royce of a player for the league he's in, but as you say, always has a moment where he either turns off or gets done by the opposition. Midfield or LB could be the answer.

Solid win that, was apprehensive about the formation pre match but job done. Similar scoreline on Saturday please and we're up and running.

Smallwood - 2-1. Our central midfielders are scoring - our name's on the cup!

Our water tight defence shining again.

Nyambe is fairly quick albeit not a very good footballer. The other two, particularly Ward, look like they're running through treacle. Not a fan of 3 at the back as I say - we're not exactly Chelsea. 4-4-2 for me.

If it is 3-4-2-1 or similar, it's again complicating it for me. But let's hope I'm left eating my words. Reckon Blueboy has the line up bang on above.

Another masterful Tony Mowbray formation in the offing?

By the looks; she hacked his Twitter account i.e. managed to gain access to his account, however she posted screenshots of conversations she's supposedly had with him by text message. It's now been deleted.

I'll never forget the Cov away 5-0 drubbing in 95. Probably one of the worst Rovers displays ever if you consider the players we had at our disposal. That said the game should never have gone ahead. Could do with a confidence boost tomorrow but think we'll narrowly go out after ET.

Don't worry yourself Tom. TM does his 'homework on the character' of every signing. Supposedly. As I said earlier, the Stokes void has been filled. The seasons only just kicked off FFS.

He gets paid a handsome amount not to go out on the lash during the season, let alone a few hours after our opening day loss. And as you say, what's he doing in Essex when we've got a Cup game a couple of days later. Anthony Stokes style alarm bells ringing for me.

Beginning to circulate online now that it is indeed him. Not a great start on or off the pitch for the kid (well, with regards to his Rovers career anyway). TM needs to give him both barrels: http://dailym.ai/2vwlfRX
