Derby are piss poor. They just look like they want it more. Big improvement needed in second half. And can Pears please be dropped now?

Obviously there was no plan in place to find a replacement for Eustace even though he wanted to leave for quite some time and had a ridiculously low release clause in his contract.

I think this was the worst performance of the season. Swansea is not a good side. Makes you wonder what Lowe did to prepare the players for the match. We offered nothing going forward and despite the very defensive tactics we also looked poor defensively.

Disgraceful performance and spineless tactics. We should be fired up for this game after our recent performances. Why are we going to Swansea just praying for a 0-0 draw? No way Hedges should be starting.

Swansea look poor but we look even worse. Shocking goalkeeping from Pears.

Definitely feels like it's going to be Karanka, doesn't it? Championship experience and even won promotion with Middlesborough (Middlesborough link, check!) many years ago. Would not get another job in the Championship as his career has fallen off a cliff. Should also be cheap. If we're not going for a short term option like Warnock I would have liked us to go for Rob Edwards but maybe he wouldn't accept the working conditions.

If the clowns in charge actually give the job to Boateng, it would be a malicious appointment. Has Waggott identified him as spineless and cheap so he'll do? Him and Boa Morte stand out like a sore thumb among the other names on the odds list.

Maybe the club leaks info like this so that when someone like Karanka is appointed the fans will be a bit relieved that at least it's not someone like Boateng or Boa Morte.

Yes. Saying he had a very good game is generous. But his performance was a nice surprise since he has looked so poor previously.

Very happy with the win and impressed with the performance. I have slagged off Forshaw previously but he actually had a very good game today. Nice goal too.

Would not be surprising if the snakes who run Rovers are doing their best to delay Eustace's appointment as long as possible out of spite.

The club statement is a disgrace. So unprofessional. Wording it like Eustace is the villain and just throwing him under the bus. Disgusting.

This will upset the Venky brown-nosers in the comment section. Don't think they expect this kind of article from their beloved Venkygraph.

Toth looked poor today which is disappointing since Pears has looked like a liability lately and we cannot keep gifting away cheap goals. Thought Kargbo had a decent debut. With more pace in the side our opponents should be more afraid to press high up the pitch.

Not good enough from Pears for their second goal. Should have been a routine save. He has been poor for several matches now so maybe it's time to give Toth a chance.

Dennis was very good when he played for Watford and he's only 27 years old. Not sure why he hasn't played since april last year though.

Eustace after signing Sanderson and Forshaw: "The two lads have cost the club next to nothing. They're very good deals that we have been able to get. That will, hopefully, put us in a strong position to focus on the two key positions we want to bring in which is in the forward areas." "The most important area is the top end. These are good deals for the football club but now we are focusing at the top end where we, hopefully, will bring in top quality to help the group." To then be scraping bottom of the barrel for dross like Woodrow is laughable and Eustace will surely feel betrayed.

Finally the final day of the transfer window is here. The only day where the true quality players are obtainable. Sure glad we didn't panic and sign dross like Whittaker or Aasgaard.

Terminating Forshaw's contract (or just unregistering him) and bringing in someone useful would be a smart move. Your backup players shouldn't be a total liability when you need to play them. Injuries and suspensions are part of football after all.

It's a ridiculous fee for Latte Lath. Also, more than 5% of the fee will be reinvested into the squad.

I guess we could counter this by agreeing to pay severe financial penalties if he's not playing for us. But of course it's a terrible situation if the snake Suhail is essentially forcing Eustace to play a player regardless of his performances.

Yes it might be harsh. Especially considering Preston has had a good run of form. But we defended very deep against what looked like a quite poor side and they carved out enough goalscoring chances to make it feel like the game could have gone either way in the end. I agree that we looked way worse after Travis came off and JRC came on. And the way we ended the match may have unfairly affected how I viewed the overall performance. But of course the 3 points is what matters!

Happy with the 3 points but not impressed by the performance. If it wasn't for some poor finishing from Preston in dangerous areas it could have ended very differently. Also a bit lucky with the penalty decision that could have gone either way. Gueye had a good game again. Very poor from Pears for their goal, thankfully it didn't matter in the end.

When Mowbray was appointed as WBA manager half of the transfer window had already passed. Even if what you said is true there was plenty of time to complete a transfer if the club had any ambition.

Will be "like a new signing" when he is Dolan's replacement next season.
