I'm the last person to defend Mowbray on this board, but unfortunately it's a team game - having 4 internationals on the field doesn't meant much if the other 7 aren't up to much cop! It says a lot about Williams' power in the dressing room / how poor Mowbray thinks he is at LB for him not to start there last night - Rankin-Costello is a talented player, but he's not a FB. He's been rinsed there all season. As for the goal scoring - at the end of the day it's about service and the two wide players in our front three don't receive any. As long as they're contributing assists / holding the ball up, I don't worry how many goals they're scoring themselves. Gallagher is awful though.

Surely this game evens out the Watford and Reading games. They scored with every shot they had.

If he wanted the job he'd have his agent ring Pune. Nobody with any power at Rovers was watching SkySports tonight.

As evidenced by their inability to score tonight. Oh.

We're a poor side too - it's a shit league. Find a comment where I've said anything but that.

Did everyone else see Warnock refuse to make eye contact with Pears at the end when he came over for a fist bump? What a fucking coward. Tells you everything you need to know about the man.

We were watching a different team. Middlesboro only had one route to victory - route one. They SHOULD have scored one of the multiple crosses they had, but they didn't because they're a poor side.

The best part of the night was wiping the smile off that smug bastard's face.

Performance, no. It was diabolical. Result, yes.

The ref was an utter, utter disgrace. Not the first time that we've had a referee of that calibre either.

That's an absolute sitter, Ben.

We're playing 4-2-3-1. The same formation we got overrun with last year accomodating Dack. He needs to revert back to 4-3-3. Bring Rothwell or Davenport on for Dolan.

Oh we'd have to replace the entire team if we got promoted. That's a given.

Not after their guy scythed down one of ours and another lead with his forearm into a header.

They'd get diiiiiiicked in the PL.

Can he play LB?

This ref is awful. That's a straight red.

It's horrible watching us defend.

He's a CM, it doesn't matter which foot is dominant. In that role he's asked to run, which I'm not sure he can do - he's better suited for the position Trybull is currently playing imo.

Agreed. Pears, Lenihan and Evans have played themselves out of the side.

As I said at 2pm when I saw the lineup. Playing Evans and Lenihan is an automatic loss. They've both been shite, again.

He never does. We need to get rid of him however we can.

He has a goal and two assists in four games (assuming nothing else happens today). He's been lively today, but he can't do it on his own. People are bafflingly obsessed with Dolan - he doesn't offer much beyond a nice trick and a bit of pace at the moment. Hopefully he'll turn into a useful player down the line.

You're full of interesting opinions today. He's a tidy defensive midfielder. He's doing his job well.

Oh c'mon, Elliot's on a different planet as a footballer to Dolan.
