Jerome is proven at Championship level. I'd be happy to see him here

It's the cup, who cares?

The focus should be on staying in the Championship. 

Or going up to the Premiership!!  ???

Brereton is certainly dragging on! ???

Puts Smallwood's place in jeopardy

Reed signed. 

Can't see it confirmed anywhere?

I'd like him. Much needed class and flair. I know some don't like flair but I do.

It's ok in a top quality side but we aren't that.

MOM for me today. Terrific performance

Just now, Ricky said:

He’s had three pre-season games with Watford. How much football have Caddis and Hart had??

None but who do you drop?

8 minutes ago, Ricky said:

Why no Rodwell today? Surely it would be better than Hart and Caddis on the bench.

Because he hasn't played for yonks

Time alone will tell. I trust TM's judgement so hopefully he has got this one right

Just now, Stuart said:

Desperation signing.

You may be right but time will tell

Smallwood looked off the pace last night. His place must be in danger.

Best performance in a Rovers shirt in my view. Tireless throughout and lots of quality on show. Keep it up lad!!  ?

They were far too bright throughout the game. Something needs to be done a.s.a.p.

Excellent game from Rothwell tonight. Well deserved MOM

Well what a roller coaster of a game! Two soft goals first half and you might have thought we were dead and buried. Not so. Great resilience and commitment in the second half. We could have stolen all three points. It's an ok start to life in the Championship. 3 points on Saturday and we'll be nicely on track

Subs as follows - Graham, Smallwood, Leutwiler, Travis, Downing, Conway and Samuel

My team would be -

                          Raya

Nyambe   Lenihan   Mulgrew    Bell

               Evans    Rothwell

   Bennett         Dack         Palmer

                    Armstrong

Can't pretend I understand these last two subs.

Defensive minded Mowbray. Simples

Just now, Drover said:

ALERT. Card machine in the stadium is down therefore no cash no pints/food!

Just now, bluebruce said:

Very surprised he has stuck with Arma up front. Could mean we are going for the win, or just that we plan to hit them on the counter with Armstrong's pace.

Or simply that TM is being cautious with DG's knees.

Usual cautious Mowbray playing Evans and Smallwood

Rovers boss Tony Mowbray says he is willing to listen to offers for experienced duo Peter Whittingham and Paul Caddis.

Yes let's offload the overrated underperforming players asap

Nixon has said we are more than 50% there with signing Brearton and Gallagher. Brearton loan to buy and he thinks the same for Gallagher. 

Let's see 

There'd be a lot to enthuse about if the source of this information was considerably more reliable!  ????

So the signing that was meant to come in before weekend isn't happening then? Would assume today is all about prepping for tomorrowa match 

Yes. Depressing really that it's taking so long
