You broke your arm?? You’re going to have to learn to not type with your elbows then Joe. Really think we need to rest A LOT of players after the last couple of efforts at home. Pretty robust and no nonsense side Lincoln, so not worth too many risks for me. Would be a shame to go out I suppose but I’m incredibly positive about where we can go in the league so could ultimately be a blessing in disguise.

I try and think about who I would rather have to give me an idea of his potential ability and value... I might be deluded, but there’s some pretty average-ish players up there in his position... plus he’s English, so... Lallana? Nah... Loftus-Cheek? Nah...

Surprised it’s taken this long for these kind of non-stories about Dacky. Hope it continues in a way - will mean he’s doing something right and we get the benefits of it.

Had a quick look myself ”anti-football and inept officials won the day” apparently. Wasn’t aware that I didn’t like Brentford before, but between this and the managers comments it seems like they reckon they are bleeding Barcelona or something just because they ineffectively knock it about a bit. Look forward to going to theirs with a full strength side and playing them off the park.

Let’s encourage this type of behaviour. Walk out music being Blue Monday or something would be brilliant.

Good game. Mahoney came on and did nowt. Cant help but feel sorry for him, I think if he hadn’t been ill advised at the time then Mowbray and this team could have got a decent player out of him and been one of last years heroes. With the club he supports to boot.

Soz about the scapegoat comment lads - was meant to be a joke. Who we replacing him with then? De Gea? ? Forest losing at the moment...

Firmly facetious mate, like absolutely everything I’ve ever posted! Just can’t even begin to understand the viewpoint tbh

Wow. Not read anything as reactionary in a while. Couldnt disagree more - I don’t think he’s been solely to blame for much, and I’d wager he’s going to be a top, top keeper. He’s nowhere near his prime and will only get better. Williams hasn’t been playing, Nyambe is turning out great - are we moving onto Raya now? There always has to be one scapegoat - it’s the Rovers way.

And we’ll help with that! ? Solidarity with the mackems!

Well DG and Rodwell will know each other from their time at Sunderland at least... hope they got on!

Agree with most of that @yeti-dog but surely the blame for the first goal has to lie with Lenihan - no way Raya can do much with that awful header back.

Sounds like we’re getting Rodwell on some sort of deal to me... If anyone can turn his career round it’s TM. If it’s low risk and it comes off then it could be a master stroke... but the odds would certainly be against it.

I’ve been the biggest critic of Evans for years -, but if he plays like he did that second half in every game, not only will he win me over but he’ll negate the need for a second DM, especially at home.

Great point. Amazing spirit. Any of us would have taken this points return so far. 9th best as it stands, and we know it should be more. A lot more to come from this side.

Now’s as good a time as any to see what the likes of Rothwell can do. Fingers crossed.

50 consecutive league starts for Richie if he plays tonight. Seems to be getting a few grumbles on here lately, but that's a decent achievement imo and testament to his reliability and importance in our overall turnaround over the last 12 months. Like him to get another cracker tonight.

Nothing like not playing to get that match fitness up.

We’re shorter odds for the play offs than to get relegated on my betting app. That’ll do for me.

He’s not even got going at all. Hope we are in and around it come January or I see some Xmas “Dack 23” shirts being a bit redundant.

http://www.skysports.com/football/carlisle-vs-blackburn/391880 Decent highlights here. Dack is fantastic, could watch that final through ball over and over.

Raya Nyambe Lenihan Mulgrew Bell Smallwood Rothwell Bennett Dack Palmer Armstrong Maybe? Think it might be good to have Armstrong running in behind from the start when we’re away. Then bring on Danny for the out ball and scrap when we’re ahead or chasing. Maybe unfair on Conway?

Poor lad's made of glass.

It will be 5-4, trust me.

I didn't think we'd have another "hero" player after Rhodes left (don't want that discussion here, but I loved him in many ways) Then along comes the cockney Messi...
