We've gone early into the Mowbray death spiral. However, we are against a team that will attack so they will leave spaces for the likes of AA. Watford are one of quite a few teams in the league with a better squad then us. We'll lose.

I'd say there's plenty of doubt. I'd take players like Freeman, Knockeart, Grabban, Lolley etc over most of ours and that's just the team we played today. Our squad has been totally over-hyped these past few days. It's a good Championship squad, there are probably 10 other squads just as good if not better.

I thought he looked a bit plump

midtable still? I'll go 10th

I'm wondering if Dack will get back in the side now?

Top 2 squad though. ?

Yep, we're good on the counter and have been since Mowbray got here. We struggle when we have to break down teams at home and have been since Mowbray got here. Nothing has changed. Hughton was always going to be a bit too clever for Mowbray.

Having lots of possession and creating very little is not new. Cardiff was the same. It's very Mowbray at times.

Every time he scores another Nobber heart shatters into a thousand pieces. It's beautiful man.

Don't worry, Gally will be back soon ?

It's a blow because he had finally found his role. Hopefully he hasn't flouted the Covid rules.

Definitely out then?

gather from where?

Bit angry there fella. Just saying injuries to key personnel in defence and we're in trouble. In midfield and up front I think we're looking good.

He wanted to come back here and he'd got the nod from Mogga that money would be there to sign him once the window was shut? And how do you know he didn't have other offers?

On the squad in general, an injury or two in key areas and we're struggling. It's been hyped massively on social media and on here how great our squad is. but an injury to Nyambe today and we don't have a right full back, an injury to an injury-prone Douglas and we're back to Bell. An injury to injury-prone Ayala and we're massively relying on injury-prone Lenihan never to get injured. The depth of the defence is still quite weak IMO.

Downing is a versatile and experienced so makes sense to sign him on again. We've got 7 games in the next 20 days and we're already struggling with injuries. Bigger squad the better.

Probably not far wrong but depends how match fit Trybull is. I'd like to see Buckley given a start.

Come on, lets not do the 'positive' 'negative' nonsense. It just shuts down debate. Fact is Gally and BB have shown very little to justify their price tags....Dack and AA have both been brilliant signings. Absolutely nothing to signal he'll justify £6m

Agreed, Gally will never be effective out wide and I'm yet to see what BB offers. I honestly think they both look like relics of his old style and don't fit in with his new Liverpool-style approach. Dolan and Elliot are both quick and nippy like Mane and Salah. Gally and BB both look laboured in comparison. He'll play both BB and SG today!

Tough game today, they've got matchwinners in the likes of Grabban, Knockeart, Lyle Taylor and Freeman (and whoever else they've signed in the last few days). They've spent quite a bit of money this summer (£7m on 2 CB's alone) and have some good players. Hughton will have them organised. Hopefully they are still in disarray after 4 defeats on the bounce but I have a horrible feeling they'll get something from the game. Big test of our top 6 credentials. Rovers 1 Forest 2 Attn - 168

Maybe Manning didn't want to come to Rovers? Maybe we couldn't afford the wages? Not really fair to blame Mowbray when you don't know the facts.

Yep, he's fine to slag academy kids and publicly humiliate them but forum members can't take the piss out of him for promoting his mate on a forum. Got it! Nice ethics, nice forum. And I'm not chasing him round the board. I hardly even engage with him. Hope I'm clear, and hopefully not as childishly passive-aggressive as you're trying to be. And FYI - @Sparks Rover sent me a DM the other day thanking me for sticking up for him when others were having a go. ?

That's what I said. And again, Sparks slags every Rovers player off (especially the kids) to the detriment of the forum and constantly bigs up his mate. Immature? 'Immature' is slagging off Academy kids like Grayson, Buckley etc and saying they are only there due to nepotism. Or are you happy with that on the forum - young lads being denigrated? Hopefully you'll put a 'stop' to that too?

It was you who said he'd signed, Sparks was asked, rung his mate and came back and denied it. Not sure what your point is? It's also Sparks who slags off every player Rovers have and constantly bigs up Whiteman...to the point it's become a bit of a standing joke. Maybe Sparks should be less 'dull' when slagging players like Buckley off (who play in Whiteman's position).
