Small but quality, what a nice position for Tomasson to work with and add to in January when he's had a good look. He raised the bar on Tuesday, showing just what this squad is capable of. The knack now is obviously to find the consistency.

I never want a team to go above us.

Come on Norwich and Sunderland, I quite like 3rd place

If Carter keeps that up, Brittain will be his back up.

Good thread. Hard to tell, most of the others are as inconsistent as we are. I'm tempted to say the top half of 7th - 13th,but given that we're 7th after such a disastrous run of injuries, I can actually see us threatening the top 6 up until the break,if players come back OK. Anything 10th or above will mean a good start for the new regime.

Cracking player Lucas Neill, hard as nails. He's coaching the girls teams at Stanley.

Can't beat that Yorkshire humour, is that why you moved there? 😁 I think that match is the one where you noticed my UFO Bob hat before you recognised me😅

Go on, I'll count you in.

I'll see what I can do, may be better if I try to convince him though eh?

Was at Rotherham a few years ago, we were both struggling and the weather wasn't brilliant. Queued up at a burger van for a brew, an old fella with a Rotherham hat on stood next to me. I said we've come over the hill, but we're not expecting a thriller. He said in his best Yorkshire accent, "well it's a good job lad, cos tha's not getting one".

Could badly do with winning this one,if Boro win tomorrow we'll be 7th,but only 4 points above the relegation zone. A win would keep us bobbing along nicely, Tomasson has enough on his plate without table pressure becoming a factor. Apparently, Hedges turned his ankle in the warm up yesterday. Hopefully he's fit, he sets the tone and I'd fancy us more if he plays. We're more than capable of winning at Wigan, 0-2 Rovers.

I'm right next to the away bench, and he'll certainly get a warm return from me, he certainly did more good than bad. It's a strange phenomenon that our supporters seem compelled to have to counter Tomasson's decisions by making out they know what Mowbray would have done. What is that all about, it's weird,how long will it continue, and who gives a shit anyway?

Looking forward to seeing Hirst,hope he plays. Need a win tomorrow, we can't be letting a 98th minute equaliser go to waste.

Always thought that Brereton would be more likely to go for more money in January, when a team near the bottom of the Prem gambles for safety. If he stays beyond January, I would assume he will have had a good enough season up to that point, for Venkys to keep him, hoping for a decent league finish. With either of those outcomes, nobody could argue that the £6 million wasn't money well spent. He's turned into a cracking player.

Should add some bite in midfield

Only half heard it but I think Talksport linked Diaz with Leeds.

You should have said earlier, it was pointless even having the conversation.

If you're only managing to give him an OK for last night, it's probably fair to say you've already made your mind up.

Came off last night saying how well Pickering had played, but he can't be expected to play every game all season, we could do with some cover.

Ah well, he's at Wigan now. Time to move on, the future looks bright.

If they won't sign, they won't sign. As it is, it's looking like a good move anyway.

Pickering was important as anyone tonight, probably won us the game with how he kept Bowler so quiet.

They left under the new regime, they couldn't get them to sign a contract either.

When Bowler is as ineffective as that, you know your left back has had a great game.

Ta, that's another option.
