According to BBC website, Hyam is not in the squad to face Spain onTuesday. Bad sign?

Gallagher occasionally gets something right such as the weighted through ball for Sxmodics goal. But 95% of the time he looks like an impostor from a lower league. He is consistently too slow to reach balls across the six yard box and it cost us again today. Always back on his heels.

The usual crap coverage for us by ITV. No manager interview either before after the match. Absolutely no back-stories about Rovers, just a brief pre-match interview with Brereton. At least it helps in keeping this season's achievements under the radar. McCoist was fair but otherwise absolutely rubbish punditry in the studio.

Briton certainly lacks the strength and tenacity of JRC.

The needless substitutions killed it. Britton and Wharton were hugely off the pace and that cost us. Why do coaches do it?? Neither JRC nor Hedges were out on their legs. Madness.

With any more performances like the one at Stoke it'll be all over well before then.

Gavin Ward is one of the worst if not the worst. Hr just guesses and then bottles any difficult decision.

A really fair and accurate summary of what I saw. Was staggered that changes weren't made at half time.

Carter lacks composure and just lashes the ball anywhere. His poor clearances have cost several goals already. Pickering and JRC are both SOOO slow.

Stoke looked uncertain defensively and the goalkeeper looked like a rabbit in the headlights. All 3 of those teams will beat them.

A bit of success has gone to his head. The way he's going he thinks he's Messi now.

It would be nice if Vale showed even a modicum of effort. You don't become a good player by just ambling around as he does.

I hesitate to criticise JDT but what the hell does he see in Vale??

Hopefully they're getting some of the several players whose contracts expire in 2024 signed up for extensions. Dolan. Carter and JRC are just three of those in that boat. Does anyone think it'll actually happen?

You couldn't have watching Gallagher. He phoned in his contribution.

How poor was Gallagher when he came on! Dolan is a fraction of his height and weight yet offered much more in a central position. Gally looks like a player going through the motions. Must be rid this summer.

And for next season.

In 12 months time Rovers will be where Wigan are now.

He looks like a low grade second hand car salesman and just spouts vacuous management speak. Ridiculously overpaid at £300k ++. Should be a clerk in a station ticket office.

He's injured.

Player might decide against. Easier to sit on the bench or in the stand for 3 months.

Looking like Venkys are staging a managed decline into L1 so as to reduce the losses covered by their funding. Fully expect relegation next season.

Hendrick, Carroll and Long. All better than Vale and Gallagher.

Reading are in an embargo and have still managed to sign better players on loans and free transfers than GB has.

Signing nobody might well mean an opportunity for Harry Leonard.
