Gallagher signing is a sackable offence on its own. It’s a worse signing than Brereton because Mowbray managed him for 15(ish) games in the relegation season. Not one Rovers fan I know thought that he was worth £5m, yet Mowbray did - criminal.

I’ll do it... get rid.

The trouble with physically impressive youth players is that they are (usually) no longer physically impressive when they enter the first team setup.

I’d rather have Downing for Forest than Luton. Downing is better defensively than both Rothwell and Arma.

Think resting Downing would make sense, he’s 35 after all. Arma and Rothwell wide for me and a Travis-Johnson midfield, apart from that, the same as Reading.

Samuel looked quicker than he did before the injury, weird but impressive. Davenport was the best player on the pitch, a class above, it’s a shame he seems to be made of glass. Really good performance, and an enjoyable night.

I’m not criticising him, I like him. Just wouldn’t say that he’s come on leap and bounds - he was a revelation when he came into the side (a year too late, I might add).

Can’t believe that he isn’t being paid in line with our highest earners now. Pay him more, extend his contract by a year (or two), and put in a £25/30m release clause. Think that would make sense for both sides.

His best performance for us was his first/second proper start in the Championship, against West Brom at home. Has he really come on leaps and bounds since then?

He didn’t look match fit though. Don’t think 45 mins will do any harm, and he’ll have 5 days until Saturday.

Will Holtby have a run out for the u23s at Leyland tomorrow?

Wonder if Travis was one of the ill players? He looked to be blowing out of his arse in the last 10/15 which is unusual for him.

Holtby hasn’t played any football (not even friendlies) since April last year, a little bit different. Mowbray had no choice but to put Cunningham in straight away, Tosin definitely hasn’t come straight in, Downing and Johnson had a full preseason to bed in, Gallagher was here a couple of years ago. What’s your point?

You’re forgetting that he’ll also have to prove that he deserves a place in the u23 side after their fantastic season. He’ll probably be ready after a full preseason next August.

Holtby’s on the ferry to Hull as we speak, announcement tomorrow?

Where have you got that from? On transfermarkt, he played every game last season as one of 3 in midfield.

Hopefully he’s brought in to be one of the two central midfielders rather than one of the three behind the striker - according to my (very limited) knowledge of him, he’s more of an 8 than a 10, and definitely not a winger. If we carry on with the 5-3-2 that we played on Saturday, he’ll be one of the 3, and there’ll be no place for Rothwell. Ideally, he’ll be able to play next to Travis or Johnson, and not just both.

Nope, f off Sydney

Didn’t take a genius to see that Raya will go right to the top, biggest error in Mowbray’s (ever growing) catalogue.

Snore. “Little old Rovers can’t go to West Brom and get a result, even after spending £12m on two strikers, great stuff Tony, keep it up fella”. It’s so unbelievably defeatist. You are the negative one.

Shite first half, shite last 15, poor overall. Walk Mowbray, you’re not up to it.

It’s not like Leutwiler is a kid that needs game time, he’s in his 30s and is never going to improve. Strange decision from Mowbray.

As we’ve said countless times, our opinion on Mowbray has been formed over 2 and a half years. We want him to walk because we don’t believe he’s the man to take us forward, it’s that simple really.

Don’t know why some think we’re a charity.

Buckley doesn’t play in central midfield if Johnson or Trav get injured, it’s Evans or Smallwood every day of the week.
