I'd have taken up the option on Gilsenan and really worked on a tailored fitness regime over the summer and pre-season as I think he could have been a real difference maker if fit. Appreciate the history may not suggest he would but surely worth one final try as the lads clearly got talent, or maybe they think we've got Kargbo now who can play leftwing so clearing wages. Really gutted for Zak as thought he was/could be a real gem.

Maybe it's my age or the amount of times I've had my hope crushed with Rovers over the past few years but sadly I can see the required results going our way but we just can't get over the line - so Rovers. Maybe that would give more fuel to the call that if only they'd strengthened earlier in January we could have pulled off a couple of better results during our dismal run and already be safely assured of a shit at the play-offs. I'd like to be proven magnificently wrong but I just don't want to get my hopes up again.

We're going to lose, probably 1-2 or 0-2. Won't be watching after the last 2 shitshows. Got things to do around teh house and then build up to the England rugby match. However my team would be: Pears Brittain Hyam Carter Riberio Travis Tronstad JRC Buckley Dennis Guye Brittain looked knackered the other night so could put JRC there but I'd rather see him further forward and hope Brittain looks a bit fresher given his crossing ability.

Make some fucking subs!

Or even Buckley, if he's fit put him in next to trav, at least bucko looks forwards with his passes. It's a shame we can't sub the entire team at half time. If val was proactive he'd have put some pace on about 15 minutes ago because it's too easy for stoke. I said I wasn't going to watch any more games after Saturdays embarrassment but I couldn't help myself and again wishing I hadn't bothered. The ironings looking far more appealing

Why isn't Dennis starting? We've got no outlet going forward cause there's no pace or anyone to run off guye. We look aimless

Embarrassing. Why can't we defend? It probably reinforces what a could job eustace did in getting us to the point he did. Sinking without a trace now. Really missed having any pace in that game but why weren't we up for it from the start? It's the hope that kills but it's well and truly gone now

I'd go: Pears Brittain Carter Hyam (if not banned) Ribeiro Travis Sonny JRC Cantwell Kargbo Gueye Subs - Toth, Weiman, Sanderson, Forshaw, Dolan, Hedges, Woodrow, ACD, Ohashi I do think Weiman is better off the bench and I want to see us attack Derby and pin them back, much like we should have done with Swansea

Shocking so far. Get Buckley and kargbo on. Lowe's done well first 2 games but got it writing today. Needed to get into them from the off. Going to take a massive 2nd half to get even a draw. Both goals avoidable. What's sanderson messing around at for the second, just clear it!

I'd like us to go for it in this game, get into them from the off and keep their spirits down. Would go for a similar team to last time but play Buckley and Kargbo instead of Forshaw and Cozier-dubery with Dolan on the right as that's where he seems most effective. Would like to see Dennis get some minutes at some point.

That kargbo assist for dolans goal was lovely! Only disappointment was not seeing Dennis get some minutes

Leicester were drunk though

I think Buckleys really getting back to his best with this run in the team. When tronstad's back I'd like to see bucko pushed further forward, I think that would be a great midfield as him, sonny and trav are all good at closing down and breaking up the play whilst having him further forward allows for hopefully more through balls to our attackers

He does just need to be a bit careful with his elbows though or he'll earn a reputation and some red cards

Great performances all round tonight with big mac exceptional. Give the job to Lowe!
