Missing Lenihan massively... 

Mowbray at fault for not having even a half decent CB as back up to Lenihan and Williams..

Bennett / Gallagher and Beereton are utterly diabolical!!

My thoughts on the game as many have mentioned...

1 Lenihan / commanding CB absolutely crucial for a number of reasons: a) Nyambe threat dissolved by not having him doing His Cafu! b) Adarabayo was a shadow of himself probably his worst game for us! c) allows Bennett to play.. who is a lovely person but past it as a player he really is..

2 We need Nyambe back at RB asap.

3 Need to keep Downing and Travis together if we sticking to 4321.

4 Gallagher still not good enough sorry.

5 Need Armstrong back up top

6 Samuel let himself down big time after the one good game

7 Best game by a country mile for BB hopefully theres a player in there! 

If he carrys on like this then snap him up

Which is ridiculous considering the gap in fee and wage between the two. 

To be fair Samuel has always played well in my view, just never got going.  The man has potential as evidenced by today 

Gallagher and Johnson were pants

Why does he look like hes having an asthma attack every time he sprints?! 

Would love Rudy back at Rovers..

I'm afraid this is Tony all over and same as what he has done previously... we are close to xyz.. then it falls out if bed.. then we carry out desperation action! 

There is fundamentally an issue with the recruitment infrastructure 

Gallagher and Bennett were both pants! 

Bell is capable only as a back up LB.

Thought Lenihan and Armstrong were our best two players today.

Agreed that JRC should have replaced Rothwell and not Mowbrays love child!

I don't think Rathbone is a good replacement for Evans. He's more of a Travis style player. He's a good bit younger and more mobile than Smallwood but I'm not sure he's better.

If we want to progress to the next level really think we need a ball playing CDM and not necessarily another Evan's type player.

Would be nice but Bell is a few years older now than Nyambe was.

Also just dont see him ever having the defensive attributes Nyambe has always had! 

Did Downing play CDM with Travis? And if so I think this could be a critical opportunity for us, to have a good ball playing CDM that opens up the play? 

Also how did Gallagher play? 

How has Gallacher played?? 

We should be all over the Glen Murray deal! I also think we should be extending Danny Graham deal given the plight of the other (so called) strikers!

Good luck to Samuel if he goes,. Wouldn't say he's any worse than Gallagher but if we're not going to use him we need him off the wage bill and briefly he looked a real player at L1 level so it would be a good chance for him to resurrect his career.

Bet Gillingham aren't planning to use him on the right wing.

Personally think he's better than Gallagher!!

No wonder Dom’s trying to stay positive can’t even get on ahead of that guff

Based on what I have seen this guy is our 2nd best striker after Graham, although that's not much cop, although the cost of them was!

I would put Johnson in till the end of the season and blood a few youngsters 

He needs to go but can people honestly see him walking... why would he do that?? 

Embarrassing!!!!!!!!!!! Mowbray out, we were awful first half!!!!! 

We have been shocking again.. Ben is not a footballer.. no effort no tracking back, total imposter!!! And Gallagher couldn't hit a barn door!! 

Amy actual rumours re any outgoings or incomings?

The signs were there against Wigan and Brum to be fair! 

This is embarrassing 

Is Rankin Castello a RB? If so would put him in ahead of Bennett. 

Would absolutely love it (keegan style) if we bought Tosin.. oh my word.. 

But unlikely ?
