They're winning everything in both boxes - we miss Ayala, Gallagher and Hyam.

Second best all over yet it could very easily be 3-0 if anyone could finish.

Holy shit, SKY outing Broughton and Waggot on camera!

He looks off the pace a little, but he's providing a physical presence already. Bigger, stronger and faster than what we've had out there recently - they've hit him as an outlet a few times tonight.

Could be 3-0 this.

Why isn't that a yellow for McClean?

Sitter #4 from Brereton-Diaz.

Interesting the club is pushing this angle - that and the 'don't step onto the pitch' message. It was the day trippers - yet the regular attendees are the ones feeling the backlash.

Where's "we didn't think the player was worth £700k so didn't follow up" on your diagram?

Szmodics has 3 goals and (2 - I'm counting that Birmingham OG) 1 assist in 16 matches, many of which he's not started. He comes in for undue criticism in my opinion. The next time I see Vale 'run around a lot' will be the first time.

Just out of interest (I've picked a random answer of yours to quote): how much better do you think Vale is than Leonard? Both now and potentially. He seems to be the next cab off the rank, so I'm curious if we simply have no strikers in the Academy or not.

At least he's quick - but yes, they were clearly at the bottom of their potential list at that point. Doesn't matter anyway, we wouldn't have got the paperwork sorted in time.

We haven't seen him for 11 games anyway tbf.

You doubt it, but you can't be sure - which is the point. 😉

I won't hold my breath waiting for Saka's 3 game ban for violent conduct.

I'm a better finisher than Gallagher, so that's not really a compliment. I think you're right, we can't appreciate the subtly of his game - we're much more used to crudely wanting players to y'know, run around a bit and not get brushed off the ball in every challenge.

We won 2, drew 2 and lost 1 in January - that's not a bad month.

We've already established that Waggot doesn't give a fuck about the fans. You're paid £100k for every home game that's on SKY (less for away games) - that's all he'll have seen when accepting SKY's offer to move the game to Monday night.

Mainly because he's an exceptional athlete and he works hard... and the other options are very poor.

They've spent £40m, what else did you think was going to happen? The EFL / PL need to sort out this parachute payment situation because it's made the Championship a joke competition.

Genuinely, who else would JDT pick? He's bereft of forward options.

His workrate is diabolical and he gets brushed off the ball far too easily. He's 21 (nearly 22!), not some 18 year old kid. He might become a L1 / L2 player, but he's not going to make it in the Championship.

Bloody hell, you really rate O'Brien!

I've got about a 5 year gap in my Rovers knowledge, around about the time of the year of the four managers. There's loads of "wait, who's that? He played for us?" when watching us on SKY etc.

To be fair in January we won two, drew two and lost one - so our form is decent. This isn't a Mowbray death spiral.
