Bell was good all game. Smallwood was better today then Evans. Has Graham played 90 mins in 3 games in a week this season? Or even last season? Wouldnt say he was excellent tonight. But much better than Armstrong up front.

correct. 1 lost in 8 games but only 2 wins. tho we have taken 5 points against Brentford, Villa and now Derby all down to Graham and his fitness. He's 33 years old and I don't think he can play 3 games a week at this level. I would play Brereton at Stoke. Swansea cause Stoke problems and didn't have their main striker on the pitch. Ive already said I wouldn't have started Conway in today's game and my thoughts was a player off the bench in certain games using his experience and knowledge. The odd start in games but tonight game was the game for Conway from the start

I thought Bell was good all game. Nyambe is a defensive full back but he did very well tonight and the season. I disagree with dropping Bell for Williams at left back. I would drop Evans not Smallwood for Reed. Agree on Bennett and Rothwell for Palmer and Conway. on Graham, all down to how fit he is and whether he can play 3 games in a week. look shattered in the last 5 mins. lets see 1st

Reed did play right side midfield but last season for Norwich he did play right wing back a lot. On Armstrong, the way we played at Hull. The ball on the ground with looking to get him in behind the defences with through balls not long balls like tonight

Another loss for Preston. fans not happy on twitter

Reaction from Tony Mowbray: “The lads deserve great credit. I’ve spoken about our spirit before and it showed tonight against a very, very good Derby side. A point against both Villa and Derby, we’ll take that and move on.” #Rovers https://t.co/JyxNzEEOE6

I would like to see Reed in for Evans next to Smallwood and Bennett and Rothwell wide. Dack starts. Either Graham or Brereton up front. Palmer, Conway and Armstrong poor tonight

Mulgrew was ill I would have started Bennett and Brereton in place of Palmer and Conway. Rovers never played to Armstrong strengths when he was up front What do you mean about preferred positions comment?

Good Point. would have taken that before and at half time. I felt second half we were better and much better defensive. Nyambe, Lenihan, Williams and Bell. I voted for Bell for MOTM. Dack had our best chance and I thought Bennett had scored but went wide. Bennett and Reed both came on and made us more solid. Derby had chances but they have more quality but the last 20/25 mins they faded. Its a point gain instead of 2 dropped. Palmer isn't a player that I like and Armstrong was poor aswell tonight The ref was excellent and consistent throughout the game. best ref I've seen so far. Derby only 3 shots from 22 attempts is awful

Bennett on for Palmer. He been awful. Not impress.

Already said we are very lucky to still be nil nil

Disagree on Palmer. Agree on Conway point Palmer is lazy and doesnt track his full back.. Armstrong was poor cos we didnt play to his strengths.

Palmer been awful.. If Armstrong is the main striker you need to play the ball down the sides and into feet like Hull away.

Who cares? Anyone can beat anyone in this league. Thats the English football for you

No need for a dig at posters. Shame you go that low..just like your comment in the cricket thread Said this before and get moaned about it. Not a fan so far

Happy to be nil nil at half time. We rode our luck at times. Pleased Mowbray change it cos we were playing too many high balls and conway was awful. Need to better second half.

Danny Graham on for #Rovers in place of Craig Conway - looks to be tactical given the way Conway is shaking his head. Mowbray needed to do something though.

Palmer not helping Bell out in the full back area

so names me these players who are good enough to bat in these positions which you never did Jim and still haven't answered the question I asked. no need for the first sentence Jim.

Any response to this question @jim mk2 or it is the case you don't have a clue and cant answer it?

what a load of rubbish Jim. I'm getting abit boring seeing the same old posters still posting this tripe when these players have show they can hold their own and beat good teams like Brentford.

why? These players have shown they can hold their own in this league. I think Mowbray has mention before the way he like to play 2 and half forwards. Conway defensive will be better. I would have prefer Brereton up with Armstrong and Rothwell wide if Bennett couldn't start the game and Palmer on bench. Lets hope Palmer, Dack and Armstrong all link up well Williams has played centre half here and Bristol City so don't the comment above. Agree on Rothwell point.

TEAM NEWS: Three changes for #Rovers - Williams, Conway and Palmer for Mulgrew (ill), Graham (bench), Bennett (slight knock, but on the bench) https://t.co/EWRYFrwcMl https://t.co/TWdWwar6Eq
