We were never getting anything out of this. The squad isn't good enough to cope with the players missing today. The weird team selection hasn't helped.

Hard game this. They've won 4 on the spin and have a few players in the side and manager who will want to prove a point back at Ewood. Weve just lost our GK,CB and CM as well. This has a slip up written all over it. Id take a draw at the moment and move on.

Due to buying players for the sake of it, rather than seemingly having a plan. Now they have lost their playing style identity from an organised high press to a bunch of individuals. Chelsea were like that 3 or 4 years ago when they hoovered up about 40 players but never seemed to have any actual plan. They didnt need Isaak after getting Ektike. Should have got a fast pressing winger to replace Diaz and another CB.

From their chicken mansion in India to the self appointed self serving club execs to the manager to the wank cheap players its an utter shambles. Will anyone at the club or india care...not at all.

Oh wow. We are 100% going down. Loosing at home to the worst side in the league.....second worst.

If we had anyone better it would be an easy desicion, but Gueye can barely kick a ball and Ohashi scores about 1 in 10 at the moment.

Just cant see where any goals are coming from. I don't think the team as a whole are that far off, we pushed Coventry closer than a lot of teams have. We just cant score, which then causes us to get nervous at the back. There's a lot of pressure on the midfield and defence knowing 1 goal conceded is likely to loose us the game. We may as well persist with Gudjohnssen if he was a marquee striker signing. The other options are equally as shite.

Guessing that's a 5-3-2 formation. Blow to loose Cantwell. Can't see anyone else creating a chance.

A couple of years ago I thought Bellingham was unbelievable. Since he went to madrid though, when ive seen him for england he seems to me to have developed a massive Ego. His performance for England has dropped from an all action all rounder to someone who only moves when they have the ball. I get the impression hes a difficult character to have around and the squad dont particularly get on with him.

I'm surprised a foreign manager criticizing the home fans hasn't been made more of in the media. Thought it was perfect for our media to jump in on. However, after the Southgate bore fest its quite refreshing having someone with an opinion in charge. He must be the only manager ever to take a national side to two finals whilst still boring us all to tears.

If he can score against france he can score against stoke. Rovers just have no quality to create chances.

Relegation fodder. Think this is the season the years of mis management finally kills us.

Hopefully we wont see the same starting line up as against charlton again, but I think Ismael has his favourites now! Not sure the reluctance to start Gudjonsson. I'm assuming Albiolusi (Spelling?) is injured. The options at left wing are pretty dire. Toth Miller McGloughlin Wharton Ribiero Tronstadt TGH Moreshita Cantwell Yuki Gudjohnsson

What effect do the coalition statements have? Seemingly the club have no interest in the opinions of fans and fan groups. When is this independent football regulator due to be operational? Are these things the supporter trusts could refer to the regulator? I cant see any statements or fan pressure having any effect on the cancers in charge. The only way for change is some official external pressure that forces change or causes Venkys to sell up. Cant see it unfortunately.

Put the new lad in upfront. Hes not been signed as a bench warmer. Toth Albieousi Miller Wharton Ribiero TGH Tronstadt Moreshita Cantwell Yuki Gudjohnsson

Any indications when they will make a decision about a replay? Replaying full 11 v 11 from minute zero would be an absolute travesty. Id imagine there will be a lot of behind the scene arguing.

Its end of summer though. Grass is growing, water table isn't that high unlike winter. I'd be surprised if it flooded unless its absolute monsoon.

I went to the Bradford cup game at Ewood and he was awful. I didn't see any feature that looked promising, physically or technically. Early doors I guess and he may improve, but didn't look promising to me. I dont think hes placed since that game?

I was thinking earlier, despite all the crap going on with the club at the moment, selling anyone of any value, replacing with cheap foreigners...at least were not having to watch Mowbray teams with big lump strikers out on the wing and defensive midfielders as false 9s. Those days were an unbearable watch.

Good win at the weekend. I think we should start Gudjonsson as hes obviously match fit and scored against France. Theres no need for us to keep him on the bench. Harsh but either Hedges or Yuki to drop out for me. Similar to others sadly I think it will be a tight game but their extra quality will show in the end 1-2.

Ive watched Gueye live enough times now to know hes truly awful. Its clear he'll never be any good at championship level. The only way I see him being effective is if the team was set up for him to minimise him having the ball at his feet. Direct style of play and Two wingers putting crosses in towards his head. Thats not gonna happen though. I'd rather sell for a fee and get cover in on loan. On another note, I know nothing about him but the Birmingham Facebook page had lots of comments about it was silly of them to let TGH leave and was generally positive comments about him. Well see.

I understand its crazy to accept a bid on one of our few experienced players..but the money Wrexham and Birmingham are throwing around is crazy stuff. How much have they spent this window...£35m? Bet hes doubled his wages if not more. Never thought I'd say Wrexham are spending way beyond what we could ever have done in the championship.

Notice Emanuel Denis is now a free agent as of today. Wonder if hed be tempted back to prove a point. If Hyam goes this squad has relegation written all over if...if it doesn't already. Barely any experience anywhere and cheap as chips.

Saw his interview last night, which was nice. Its obviously a big life change for him leaving the club which is all he has known. I did get the impression listening to him, he's not entirely sure what he wants and wasn't exactly full of emotion or passion. I think he had some decent technique but lacks the sort of personality to become a very good player. Not much fight about him.

I went to the Bradford cup game, Henriksson was one of the worst players I've seen in a Rovers shirt. Literally couldn't control a ball, kept bouncing off his knees and shins. He also looked like he was running in treacle. Hadn't his season already started so he's had a full pre season and arguable further on in fitness than our players? Looked an absolute shocker to be honest. Hopefully it was nerves and confidence thing but I'm not sure. De Neve looked like another Hedges, runs around a lot but lost the ball repeatedly. Then scored a tidy finish. Hard to judge until he plays more but he looked more mobile than Henriksson. Thats the risk with buying loads of foreign unknowns. Some may adapt quickly, some adapt slowly and some are just shite.
