You think smallwood & Evans work??? So what your saying is your happy with how the line up was today? Your happy with reed on the wing & not in the centre. Happy with Smallwood and Evans playing sideways and backwards? Happy with rothwell & palmer sat on the bench? Come off it please

My bad ? But you knew what I meant

Because they were together for all of league one, I feel he's (shall we say) scared to break them up. As silly as it sounds I honestly think that's the reason!

Reed in the centre with either Smallwood or Evans, palmer or rothwell out on the wings. Easy as that

12 months?? Yes in league 1, against the likes of Oldham & Swindon hardly a challenge. Said this for a while, Smallwood & Evans do not work!! Who ever thinks they do does not have a clue.

I just really hope TM will learn from today performance. For some reason I still think he will start the same team against Rotherham...

The reason dack didn't have a good game is because he has zero support from the centre midfield!! Dack is not to blame - I personally think these dull performances are down to the quality in the centre.

Good result! However not the best performance! This Smallwood & Evans partnership in the middle has to stop! Sorry I'd rather watch paint dry....

no control at all! same old same old - Reed needs to be in the middle and get some excitement on that pitch mowbray!!

Mowbray playing for a draw yet again...

want to be positive, hope mowbray uses and attacking line up! Want to see either Rothwell or Palmer starting. See this game being a draw unfortunately! Hope I'm wrong.

Rothwell just needs a goal under hit belt. Too say he has no end product after one or two chances missed from Saturday is abit daft. Both as good as each other IMO

For him to show his qualities, i feel he needs to play aside a class act in the centre... i.e Reed.... In all honesty i think Smallwood's been poor since league 1. i think this is down to both himselve & Evans starting in the centre for most of the season. Too much alike. No excitement between them both...Personally feel Evans is the better player of the two. However hats off to Smallwood at West Brom. Can't take that away from him!

Hopefully Graham is back, replace Armstrong with him and that second team would be a winner!

Hopefully Tony will see it eventually! I just feel so sorry for the lad!

Got a feeling tony will go back to the same team against leeds! we won yes, however Lost to swansea. Tony needs to play either evens or Smallwood & put in palmer or rothwell! Also Just seen tonys comments about rothwell after West Brom. Rothwell: "He is breathtaking with the ball at his feet but you’re not going to play if that’s all you do". Incredibly harsh if you ask me from TM if you ask me, one of the best players on the ball in the rovers shirt we've had for a while. Again still young and lots to learn - Think from that comment rothwell will be left out for a few more games...shame really

Didn't say Evans was bad, i think he's played well. However having him & Smallwood together in that midfield does not work in this league. One or the other (preferably evans) and stick rothwell & palmer there instead.

Agree completely! Smallwood & Evans together were good enough for league 1, however It's a different ball game in the division. Smallwood imo is simply not good enough. Yes he gets stuck in but there's no movement from the lad. Watch him closely, for me he doesn't do enough. Compared to Reed he is very poor. Rothwell for me has to start! If not Palmer!
