Yes that was a penny, more so than the brereton penny.

I thought we should have had a penny in first half with the challenge on bell.

Mulgrew injured again, thought he would be like this, this season, he's not good enough at this level becuase in terms of consistency, he cant cope with the tempo and ends up constantly injured, dont see him scoring any free kicks either this season because the keepers aren't shit. We shoud have brought in a proper centre half. He's a great leader and a good player, but doesn't play enough games when at this level it seems, shame really.

There was 4000 at Doncaster mate.

and we have a cathedral, what more do we need to do lol

Just brought in to ensure we didn't have to play during international breaks during last season, seems that way anyway.

Swansea game it was - and this followed, were he stated that he did not refuse to play, despite kean making out that was the case https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/17758470

Yes, Dack also injured now, holding his hammy

Smallwood going in goal

Reed a lot better in central midfield, which is where he should always be playing.

Ref is a disgrace, how did he not give Rovers a penalty there?

Well done again, Tony, for signing no centre back in the summer, when we clearly needed one, but signing a 7million pound striker who you don't play, bravo.

He was signed to appease the fans, after a shite transfer window, simple as. The club knew we needed a centre half (Rodwell on a free doesn't quite do it) and it was damned obvious we needed wingers, but neither arrived. We just ended up with a hat full of numbers 10s in Rothwell, Palmer, Davenport and to an extent Armstrong, who's positon I just don't know, the lads so inconsistent, but he isn't a winger, and he can't play up front on his own. We also needed a good backup for Graham but didn't get one, we signed some young lad for 7 million who doesn't play at all, even when graham is knackered. If the plan at the beginning of the season was to sit on any kind of lead we generated in any game, then why didn't we sign a quality defensive mid, as smallwood is average and why didn't we sign some defenders who can defend a lead at this level.

Backing up someone who disagrees with the same poster you do? Idiotic Can you not think of your own posts, thought not

Let's all get buzzing from the sources then. Won't happen.

It should have been better? For bolton yes

No, becuase we've spent 10.5 mil on 2 strikers who are on the bench. We've no money left., it's been wasted.

Hear you, but the 2 centre backs are undroppable with tony. And we've spent all our money on 2 strikers who are on the bench every week pal.

Chaddy doesn't do reality when it comes to rovers.

Now we know you're a troll after the Rodwell line. Do 1 please you silly.

Mulgrew gave away a lazy penalty, he was lucky that the lad was offside, just.

You pished?

Bolton deserved to win the game. What our game plan was I am bewildered to wonder. They were far better than us. We scored and then just more or less said to them "come and score if you think you're good enough" for 60 minutes or so, and they very nearly did score about 5 or 6 times. Thought it was as poor as sheff utd game, but we played a team who weren't as clinical. Rodwell was atrocious, he said when he came to the club that all his career hes played cm when he is a cb, but he plays cm today. Lucky win but I'll take it.

Good post. So basically on for 69 points across a season. The last 6 seasons (since we came down from the Premiership) with that points tally would see you 10th, 9th 7th, 9th (us under Bowyer), 9th (one place below us who finished 8th under Bowyer) and 6th. Average over last six seasons is 75 points to get into the play offs. Going back a few years and you were more or less guaranteed a play off spot with 68-70 points, but these days the teams in the play offs seem to be quite a bit ahead of the rest of the league and get more points.

I thought when I looked on BBC it said 14,440.
