We're missing our three strike players. We were always going to struggle to create anything today.

He hasn't played much football - it's a massive step up to match fitness from there.

This is another crap officiating team.

Lansbury put in a shocker on Edun.

They're out of sight.

Why would you change a winning formation?

I think he'd get eaten alive in the Prem - but then I look at our team and don't think any could make the step up.

I want the Gallagher that turns up in our box to turn up in the opposition's box. He's a colossus when it comes to defensive headers.

I honestly don't think he has any sort of stamina (or 'gas tank' as they'd refer to it in the UFC). He came on with half an hour to go against (I think) Hull at Ewood earlier in the season and looked sensational for 15 minutes. He was blowing out of his arse for the other 15 mins. I assume this is due to his past injuries - but maybe he knows how hard he can go, which is why he throttles back so much even when on as a sub for 30 mins. Obviously he can't make it at this level with that sort of fitness.

It's not a conundrum at all unless he's explicitly told the team he wants to leave and will sulk for the rest of the season. If you sell him you HAVE to replace him like-for-like. Our new formation only works if you have a midfielder than can carry the ball from CM, otherwise you're never able to control the game and consistently create chances. It would be the same if we lost Travis - you need a CM that can cover ground and win the ball back in this formation.

The Riverside was particularly empty.

Worked for Steadinho for a season.

I don't think we're going up.

In a heartbeat. I've been one of Brereton's most fervent defenders on here, but that's crazy money.

I'm still angry about those refereeing decisions.

I'd like a penalty for the foul on Gallagher by Ng at the weekend, please.

So it was a red card then as he made no attempt to win the ball.

It's hard to fight fire with fire when you get booked for any indiscretion and their lads are allowed to leave leg breakers on you with no repercussions - see Ng, Collins and Holmes (I think?) in the previous two league matches.

What the hell have we done to upset the Championship officials? We're getting shafted every week by these clowns.

He's playing RWB and he's not athletic enough to get up and down the flank at this level - never has been.

That scumbag Ng took out Gallagher at the weekend for another stonewall. I genuinely don't know what we've done to upset refs in this League but we get nothing from them.

Does Brereton have to get shot to win a pen?

5 yards is generous. He wouldn't look out of place at the 7 a side I'm about to head off to.

And they say cheaters never prosper.

Don't fancy playing on the pitch at Ewood after elephants have been on it. It can barely handle a bit of rain.
