The James Hill situation never made much sense for the player He was having a terrific season in Championship football but found himself playing cover for a team in the PL instead Since then, he has done nothing of note in football terms. He must be wondering when his chance will come. Footballers want to play. He will have played less than 50 games in 3 years if this continues. I'd take him here in a heart beat. Felt he was one of the more complete defenders we have had in recent memory

These are the games we struggle with. JE suits the games against the likes of Leeds. We do not have the attacking prowess to dominate many games and break teams down. Hull will make us work for every chance Feel it will be a tricky fixture but one we will come through. My head says score draw, my heart says 2-1 Rovers

You have called him dull on plenty of occasions What isn’t negative about calling someone dull?

When Ohashi made that pass I said “that’s a serious pass” - it was weighted to perfection which made Dolans first touch easier Our forward passing isn’t always so crisp but we played well in all areas of the pitch yesterday I like Ohashi. He sets the tone for everybody else. His commitment to the team shines through. There was a moment yesterday when he chased the midfielder back to the half way line to win the ball back and get a free kick. That sort of attitude is contagious Gueye on the other hand appears to be struggling to meet the demands of Eustace. It is unfortunate as I think there’s a player deep down in there but I have doubts he will make it at this level atm

Owen Beck makes such a difference to this side. He’s a terrific player. Covered Pickering whenever he needed to and the partnership between them looked good. He made Pickering look a better full back for sure Cantwell showing his class. I hope that injury isn’t serious and a bit of play acting. One of the best footballers we have had in recent times Im glad Dolan showed up. I’m one of his biggest critics but he had an excellent game today. The Leeds players couldn’t get near him. Fair play to him and well deserved MOTM These sort of games suit John Eustace. Being organised at the back and sneaking a result is his forte. Onwards and upwards

Dolan deciding to have one of his good games is timed as well as it can be

I am sure one of us on this forum could help you out Adam. We know you are a supporter of Rovers so fuck it I will have enough points & I will be purchasing a ticket when they are released - if you haven't been sorted message me

Can’t believe we keep persisting with Dolan He wastes so many chances, gives the ball away so much and in general just breaks our play up Sheff Utd are triggering their press on him. Watch closely

Oh yes, silly season is back again > We are linked with ........ > Who believes Nicko?? > Rovers due to spend £50bn warchest > Rovers fail to land deadline day superstar > Rovers net spend -£5m We all know the score

Gueye brings the ball down very well and wins practically every header he goes up for. Where he lacks is being in the right place at the right time. Quite a missing trait for a striker... I am prepared to give him time. I think he brings a bit more to the team than Ohashi when our backs are against the wall. The pair are good options to have and hopefully young Leonard comes back to throw 3 strikers into the mix. Leonard has more of an instinct than the other two for sure, but needs to work on being more clinical

It wasn’t a game to remember that’s for sure 3pts is all that counts though Cantwell had a great game. Again I thought Dolan was poor despite his goal. Looked solid at the back with Beck replacing Pickering. I think he is the signing of the season for me Generally a more balanced and in control performance. I do worry about how much we sit back but that’s Eustaces way. On another day we score 3 or 4 from the counter but that quality up front is lacking I will win 1-0 every week so I don’t really care tbh. We are class

The weather isn’t helping but my gosh the pitches in Pakistan are a bad do Too easy for the batters. Makes quite a boring spectacle really It is on the bucket list to watch England play abroad in every major country. Pakistan may be one I miss……

Dolan just is not at this standard His touch slows the game down. There was a 5 yard pass made to him on the edge of our own box. After his control he had to wait for the ball to come down. By that point, he was closed down. The only route out was a pass back to the defender to hoof It is that sort of poor quality that puts the team under pressure He needs to be moved on, really. He is a level below the Championship. I'll be surprised if somebody else picks him up

I feel sorry for Gueye really It is useless judging him and Ohashi whilst they have Dolan behind him. I am sorry but his race is run for me. He’s a player I put firmly as last place on any time sheet His lack of effort yesterday was a rarity but sums up where he is at. He won’t sign a contract I believe so let the bloke go We will look a much different side - and did - when you put players in that position that can trap a ball and pick a pass out. I still have confidence in this team I just hope Eustace starts to see JRC as a right back and Cantwell gets fit enough to play the 10. A front four of Hedges, Cantwell, Duberry with Gueye or Ohashi in front is good enough for this standard. With Siggy and Wiemann on the bench we have enough firepower. We’ve just hit a rocky road and that happens in the Championship

It’s the usual suspects who have let us down today Hyam is weak. He ducked that header. Pickering lets his man have a free header back across the goal We are still carrying some weak minded players. We all know who they are, it doesn’t need to be said
