Lets be honest that winning in India is a toughest task in World test cricket. I do think it is time we move on from Bairstow in the test team and he just plays white ball cricket. Probably Foakes aswell. I would bring Brook in at 5 and look for a new test keeper. On the bowling front, Jimmy Anderson is simply world class player. Bashir and Hartley will improving and hopefully continue their development now

Could it been that they went out in Manchester for Callum Brittain's birthday which is on Tuesday? hardly breaking news is it?

Is anyone going to this game? How would everyone set up for this game and what would be team selection? I would either set up in 3-5-2 or 4-4-1-1. My team would be this for 3-5-2 Pears O'Riordan Hyam Wharton Brittain Ayari Tronstad Buckley Hedges Gallagher Szmodics My team would be this for 4-4-1-1 Pears Brittain Hyam Wharton Pickering Dolan Tronstad Ayari Hedges Szmodics Gallagher

Don't know unless I was in the room. Maybe @K-Hod or @only2garners can asked this question at the next fans forum whether anyone has been disciplined or sack for this incident. I think we will get another 10 points from the remaining games and stay up

Its funny that cos Mark Hughes first game was Portsmouth at home which we won 1 nil with Matt Jansen scoring the winner, the Villa game was 2 weeks later and Hughes had 2 full weeks with the squad on the training field. Rubbish. Did we not scoring a goal from not kicking long to Gallagher or at Preston? When we have a goal kick and fine kick it long up to Gallagher or whoever and get the defence up the pitch Well we see won't we. Toxic Positivity? Fans like myself? cos I look at life and every situation in a positive mindset or half glass full approach instead of half empty approach. The Players rolled their sleeves yesterday and got us a point after playing with 10 men for 40 mins. Yes we would all like 3 points but given the game changing circumstances with the red card and the way Plymouth played with such width and movement.

Maybe trying to get a bit of team spirit between the players or it might have been a player birthday bash they were attend. Until we actually know the circumstances of the event very unwise to speculate or pass comments without the facts. Who were the players out then? 2 people I worked with didn't attend yesterday cos they were going to Boxing night in Preston. Also about 10 ST holders wasn't there yesterday aswell.

We should have been 2 nil up and how Sigurdsson didn't score I don't know. It was simple chance after watching this morning highlights. Also McFadzean was a clear red card but Eustace could have done 2 things, taken McFadzean off for Hedges or Chrisene or drop the back 5 from playing such a high line cos Plymouth exploited thins all game after 15 mins. On the booing, I don't get the full time one cos those players worked hard and tried the best all game. Plymouth exploited us and played some good football which they should be credit for. On the Ash Philips booing, I can understand what @Leonard Venkhaterhas said about him and his agent forcing the club into a low fee asking price otherwise they wouldn't sign a new contract and he would have worked away for peanuts. On next season squad, We need pace, goals and experience signings in the summer to improve this squad, and also hope that Szmodics does stay here but he will clearly have potential clubs interested in him as a player

I have my own thoughts and opinions on the situation. I don't think the squad is that awful if everyone is fit and actually think it is top half squad at least if not more but we seen players like Ayari proved in some games that he is actually good technical player who will actually put made tackles. he is part of that. We all know that we lack experience at the start of the season at centre back area, pace in the team and up front where we lack that proven striker. In January we bought in McFadzean who gives us experience at the back but we are expecting him to play too much now. Also in January, we sign a striker who would have given us goals in the team in Duncan McGuire but someone at the club forget to send the paperwork through on time. He has scored goals since he has returned to Orlando and I doubt we will sign him in the summer cos I think they will be bigger clubs after him now. Rovers have lost out there big time on a quality player but also a future transfer fee

Mercer, I'm not interested in what Harris has done at Millwall but since Eustace arrived we have 2 times come from behind to draw at Home in the league. Did we ever do that under JDT? Very rare and I was a big fan of JDT but he did have his own flaws that he couldn't get Rovers coming from behind to draw or even win from losing positions at home. Who gives a shit a fucking Coyle? the guy was a embarrassment to even been appointed as Rovers manager after being a dingle. You even mentioning again and again is a joke. nothing more Johnson has said Publicly that Eustace and Gardiner had a big part to play in the gameplan against Stoke. One of the reason why I think he should be credited with some of the win against and the fact he didn't sit by in the stand when we need leader on the touchline but actually got of his ass and got his hands dirty and led from the touchline. We aren't in deepest shite at all. We are 3 points clear from the bottom 3 and we had a new head coach who has had very little time on the training pitch with these players. The next 3 weeks we will see this and he can actually get to work along with Downing, Gardiner and Johnson to implement his own tactical ideas and plans.

My thoughts on the game are, We started the game really well and on the front foot and Szmodics scored a good goal from good play from Ayari, and I thought we would win the game. After Sigurdsson missed that great chance, Plymouth took over the rest of the first half by playing some good passing football and making with real width and playing balls over the top/in between Wharton and McFadzean. We played far too high and allow Hardie to simply run in behind time after time. Plymouth missed a number of great chances and I was relieved to get to half time with us winning. I expect changes to the team cos Wahlstedt looked injured during the first half making a save at the Plymouth player feet. I expect Hedges to come on for McFadzean at half time with us moving to 4-4-2 or stick with 3 at the back with Pickering moving to centre back and Hedges at half time. Plus Michalski coming on for his debut for the Injured Wahlstedt. I was very surprised no changes at half time. We started the second half well but then we were too high again and Hardie run in behind and McFadzean fouled him. I don't know how bad it was or whether it was soft but it could have been avoid if if Eustace had sub McFadzean off for Chrisene or Hedges. After that it would tough and Plymouth carried on with playing attacking football and making the pitch as big as possible but they couldn't find a goal. Rovers had a couple of half chances but nothing more. When we would the ball back we were too quick to give it back to them. Ayari was our best player for me. Szmodics played well. Wahlstedt and Hyam also had decent games. Plymouth exploited the wide areas alot and their number 2 Mumba was their best player for me. Also Wharton and McFadzean slowest at turning behind them So overall, its another point and its 8 points from 8 games since JDT left, and after today's games we are 3 points clear. Its a big week for Eustace cos he has a full week of training to get his ways and methods he wants and get 3 points at Boro next Saturday we badly need. I would like us to set either 4-4-1-1 or 3-5-2 next week at Boro. P.S. I didn't understand the booing of Ash Phillips or the booing at full time either. Also the officials were awful and one of the worst displays I've seen all season.

I do think that some of the comments linking Eustace to Kean or Coyle is bullshit and not warranted at all. Calling him some of the names people have is childish and pathetic to read. When we lose I tend to keep away from the messageboard cos this place is toxic and horrible to read. We have got 7 points from the last 7 games since JDT whilst its a brilliant return it is better than the previous 10 games returned. You also have to factor in that Eustace has wanted to stop Rovers leaking so many goals and play more pragmatic style(like plenty on here wanted us to do so) and also have very little time on the training field and to actually coach the players in what he wants on the field. I have said previously that he has tried to make harder to beat, more defensive solid like Mark Hughes did when he came in. In Hughes first 9 games he only won 1, drew 5 and lost 3.

Leeds 2 nil up at Sheffield Wednesday. Sheff Wed were the better team until Leeds scored just before half time

Rovers have gone their ticket pricing all wrong for this game and did for the Millwall game. Rovers should have offered this game for £15 maximum. Get Ewood Park full. Same for the Ipswich game, but £25 for the walk on fan is just wrong. Of Course Eustace's comments are about taking the pressure off the players, but I think it is also been done to calm down the fan based. In the context he has put his comment he is technically correct but we all know that Rovers need to win this game.

Burnley spent alot of money but how much of that money were spent on players with PL experience. They instead sign players with huge potential and mainly from overseas clubs. Sheffield United were always up against it from minute 1 given they sold their best 2 players the summer in Berge and Ndiaye.

no surprised that Coleman and Bell were sacked by Holt given his statement. It will interesting how they do until end of the season

My team would be Wahlstedt O'Riordan Hyam Wharton Pickering Hedges Buckley Ayari Dolan Szmodics Gallagher. I suspected Eustace will stick with his back 5 and this will be his team Wahlstedt Hyam McFadzean Wharton Pickering Buckley Ayari Chrisene Dolan Szmodics Gallagher I think we will win this game 2-nil. Szmodics with both goals

I've explained my opinion on the Fleck signing and I stand by that opinion thanks Mercer. You seem obsess about Drinking Abbey. I've took you more than once I Don't drink Alcohol.

It was slow and unimaginative performance by Rovers. Slow and safety in possession all game. It's another point and we came back to draw the game. Its 7 points in the lasy 7 games. Only positives in dull and boring game Only highlighted of the game was Szmodics's finish. I wouldn't have put Pickering at right wing back but change to a back 4 at half bring on O'Riordan at right back and taken McFadzean for Sigurdsson or Chrisene to play left wing in 4-4-1-1 formation. I hope Briitain, Tronstad and Pears are all fit for Saturday game. My team would be Pears; Brittain, Hyam, Wharton? Pickering; Dolan, Buckley, Tronstad, Sigurdsson; Szmodics; Gallagher BTW, Gregg Broughton was in the Director box last night

Broughton is at games According to Elliott Jackson, GB will do his post transfer window interview during the international football break

Rovers to win 2 nil. Szmodics and Dolan to score

Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

It was low risk signing in terms only 5 months contract and no long term commitment from us. He was in director box for Norwich with Waggott, Pasha, Coar and Cheston That would be a question for medical expert or someone with football medical experience.

Look at the actual injury. He has broken the plate in his shin and needs it replaced. No blame to anyone including GB it is just unlucky the plate broke after such a none tackle. It wasn't nasty or dangerous Far too many people are very quick to judge without looking a context of the situation Here some reading for people to do on plates in shin https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/treatment-tests-and-therapies/tibiafibula-fracture-open-reduction-and-internal-fixation https://www.limblength.org/treatments/lengthening-deformity-correction-devices/internal-fixation-plates/#:~:text=For complex fractures%2C a plate,the plate can be removed.

Thanks for the update

Nope, he have to be a member of the fans forum but as @K-Hod or @only2garners have said they willing to asked any questions anyone has, Or you can always sent a email to Waggott to reply to you
