I'm not excusing anyone anything. Whatever happens at board level happens, but they're not playing against Stoke next Saturday and we badly need a result.

The owners aren't picking the team, or pulling their boots on, let's not make it an excuse. That today wasn't acceptable and it will lead to relegation.

Agreed, we've played some great stuff this season, we know we can do it. I just can't do with the thought of sulking behind the scenes. We're in a position where we can't afford anything less than 100%. To be honest, I'm way past pinning my colours to the mast of any player, coach or manager. They can all stay or go, I'll get over it.

If he wants to go, then go. If he wants to stay then stay, but what we can't afford is for him to stay and be sulking around the place. I don't go to work all week to watch that gutless shite on a Saturday, I don't care whose fault it is.

Andy Bayes was gushing in his praise for the groundsman on radio Lancashire before the Wrexham game, saying what a good job he'd done.

Decent signings Fleck and Mcfadzean, adding much needed experience and bollocks.

I liked Yates at Blackpool, I'm not saying he wouldn't be a good signing, although apparently Swansea would be happy to cut their losses already, which casts a bit of a doubt. I just think I'd rather stick with Gallagher personally, if he's fit I'd say he's quite a bit more accomplished, and experienced at Championship level. It's all about opinions.

There is always a big emphasis on Gallagher's wages, makes me wonder what percentage of his wages Yates would be on. My opinion, I certainly wouldn't swap. The only possible consideration would be Gallagher's injury record.

According to Rich Sharpe, about a 40% more chance of winning when he played last season. My only doubt would be his injury record, other than that, I think we'd struggle to get anywhere near to replacing him with the money being mentioned.

Rovers best option would be to extend his contract, we'd be very lucky to sign someone anywhere near to Gallagher's importance to the team for £2 million. The new forward may want paying as well.

If it was just about being desperate to save money, would they not have taken £2 million for Gallagher, and saved the biggest wage packet at the club? The figures just don't seem plausible.

Slight exaggeration admittedly, but come on, how much can he possibly be on? You don't banish your captain to save his wage, it isn't remotely plausible.

It's Garrett's shirt to lose now, it's up to him, what an opportunity.

I don't believe for one minute that Travis went to save his wages, how much is he on, half a million a week?

Garrett did struggle,especially first half, but played a great ball through to Gallagher leading to the first goal. There's something there to work with.

We'll get nowhere near Gallagher's quality with £2 million, the replacement may want some wages as well I'm guessing.

Carter is on crutches. Garrett did have a mare first half, but he did play a nice ball through leading up to the first goal (think it was him, not seen it back yet).

The obvious thing to do with Gallagher is the one nobody is mentioning, just give him a 2 year extension. It's by far the most sensible option.

You would hope so, that would be the right way round.

That's how I remember it,Waggot appointed the man, who then appointed the man.

I'm sure Broughton was credited with Tomasson's appointment, not that I'm bothered either way.

I thought the idea was that Waggott appointed Broughton to appoint a coach. That would seem to be the right way round.

Be interesting to see if he plays, although I personally think he will.

Form has fallen off a cliff since he got injured, along with Costello.
