Anyone that insists Rothwell should play out wide after mountains of evidence that it's not his best position instantly loses credibility with me. It's a game of opinions, yes, but he ran the show from CM last night (when Mowbray dropped him back there).

I'm just watching the highlights. I forgot Holtby missed an absolute sitter.

He's not a FB.

I'd persist with Brereton for now. Armstrong can only effectively play upfront - he's too limited a player to do anything else well at this level. Flank him with Brereton and JRC. Have Dolan / Chapman as an option to come on at 60 minutes to change the game.

JRC is still finding his feet at this level. From what I've seen he's a tidy player, technically, with a good footballing brain. Just lacks a little pace. Personally I'd persist with him at AMR and see if he can settle into the role. If not he has value as a utility player, but I'd rather not resign him to that fate just yet.

I think his confidence is improving with a run in the side / not having 15k Rovers fans tut and sigh every time he loses the ball. I'd back that up by saying he had a few pops at goal today when perhaps it wasn't the best option. He usually always looks to lay it off.

Funny, I'd say he had a good game tonight against a PL team. Our best attacking player tonight. Yes, he has things to work on - he's not a natural goal scorer for a start, but he's twice the player he was before lockdown.

You watched the game today, yes? Rothwell was superb playing centrally. His ability to run with the ball, his vision and his range of passes SCREAMS CM. I think that's the first time, and hopefully the last, that I've been accused of happy clapping. I call it how I see it.

I'd be shocked - he's out in the cold. Johnson, Evans and Holtby for the forseeable. Unless the first two are already crocked.

I'm surprised they've not laid into their other whipping boy, Rothwell too. Two players who can do no right in the eyes of some.

As I thought, shit defending from Nyambe. Track the runner or play offside. You can't do both, Ryan.

He needs a run of games at CM. He'll never get them under Mowbray though. Thinks he's the next Benrahma cos he's got a bit of pace and can take it past a player.

In what world is Dolan having a good game, but Rothwell isn't? Everything we've done in attack has been ineffective.

Good lord do you guys have whipping boys. Brereton and Rothwell could cure cancer and you'd find fault with it.

If Lenihan was a leader he'd have bollocked Nyambe for that play.

That goal was Nyambe's fault. He played the goalscorer onside and then stopped tracking the run.

The communication at the back is a fucking disgrace. What a soft goal.

I think Williams will be on his way out now with this signing.

Well Dolan has already proven them wrong, so fingers crossed.

Has this stream started for anyone else yet? Just tried to login and failed.

I'd say there were too many pubs in that one stretch (Lord Nelson to the Roebuck), but there's beem a couple of housing developments taken place nearby so you'd think there'd be demand. Who knows.

If he organises the defence he'll make a world of difference. We're often at 6s and 7s.

Nixon thought he was older than 29 - admitted as such in a later tweet.

The Duke of York?

JRC is as much of a FB as Bennett is. If you're playing him there in a competitive fixture you'd better have a raft of defensive injuries.
