Just wasn't Rovers night. The game was sum up by very incompetent referee who missed 2 very clear fouls during the games that were game changing decisions. Plus few decisions were inconsistent depending on which team it is. When will the EFL and PGMO actually start improving and bringing through better quality referees. Its getting pathetic now. Right after my rant on the referee's performance, lets talk about Rovers starting 11. Missing Travis was massive for us. Davenport should have replace him and not Gallagher. Playing 3 up front didn't work for us. Apart from that I woudn't have change any other personal from the start. at half time I would bought on Davenport for Gallagher. Then during the second half I would change formation and gone 4-3-3 with Rankin Costello and Wharton going off for Markanday and Butterworth for Buckley. I think we were poor defending for the 1st goal, we were a body light in midfield and it shown in the goal. Think JRC and Lenihan was too slow and not strong enough. 2nd goal was a clear foul on the keeper. How was that miss by the ref? The referee should have award Rovers a penalty for a clear foul by Bernard on Brereton. How can the ref not give it? Why would he go down when he going through on goal? Khadra had a great chance but defender clear it. Lenihan and Wharton had chances from set pieces and should have done better. Edun who also had a chance to score. Markanday shown one piece of skill in the last few minutes. It will take him time to settle in. We can get top 2 and automatic promotion so let's forget this game and focus on the Boro game. I would make 3 changes for the Boro game with Zeefuik, Travis and Markanday come into the team for Rankin Costello, Gallagher and Markanday. Keep the Faith! Come on Rovers 🔵⚪

Another ref mistake. Clear foul on keeper miss by this useless referee. The standard isn't good enough

Well I downloaded the NHS covid passport properly and always show it when needed

Davenport on for Gallagher

Playing 3 attackers has upset our attacking play. We are midfielder light in centre midfield. Deffo penalty not given. Clear as they come. If refs don't get them then they should be sacked. Gallagher has been useless.

I did have Covid passport to get in and wear a mask when entering the stadium but when in my seat I took it like many of fans did

My opinion and the fact he is enjoying his football here

Disagree on Rothwell

3-4-1-2 Buckley and Rothwell in centre midfielder with Khadra in the 10 role with Brereton and Gallagher in the forward roles

Travis missing out due to illness

He is far from a random Journalist given that he is one of Sky Sports main reporter But we don't know Mowbray wants centre midfielder type wise. I see Buckley as Rothwell's replacement in the midfield 2. Personally I can see Rothwell staying at the club anyway.

Well that's your opinion. Graham had a different opinion on him

Lukaku is sucker at the best of times. Over priced when Chelsea signed him this time. Tuchel doesn't set the team for him and I don't see him being there next season

after the Boro home game, Rovers fans won't need a Covid Vaccine passport to get in or wear a mask to indoor areas.

Did you really expect Zeefuik to start given Mowbray pre match thoughts? Boro one for example as Graham praised him for his hold up and how he played that day.. B he would have had 1 training session with the squad. Do you really think he understand how we play and what his role is in team. Give the lad a chance to settle in and understand how the team works.

Healey is starting for Toulouse tonight. So he isn't close to joining us. I don't see us paying this 5 million pounds asking price if thats true and I would agree with that. Most I would pay for Healey is between 1.5 to 2 million pounds. If we want a striker why not look at a short term contract for Jermaine Defoe who has just left Rangers. Does this mean we are changing formation and going 4-3-3 now? Paul, please can you explain why you thought he was really good yesterday and where do you think he would fit in here? how much would he cost? and do we not need more tackling defensive midfielder?

?

Mowbray has said he won't play tonight. Hasn't trained enough

A podcast with Sky Sports pundits Michael Atherton, Nasser Hussain, Rob Key and Ian Ward

Yes I would. Think we need him to run the channels and close down their back lline plus hold the ball up tonight Plus after tonight game we are without Brereton for 2 games whilst he plays for Chile in international games

Ancelotti was building a club and doing it in the right way. These things take time and had he been there for few years I more than expect he would have gone into the top 6. I think someone like Rooney or Lampard are the 2 clear choices to replace Benitez there. I think either would do well there have to disagree on that and I think Martinez did a very good job there Yes Everton do need to appoint a better Sporting director cos Brands spent money on some rubbish players. I suggested someone like former Chelsea sporting director Michael Emenalo or Brighton Dan Ashworth I think/expect him to be success there and Gerrard will improve the club and move them up the league.
