thankyou for the reply. I think now he is working without his former number 2 Leam Richardson he is now struggling. Similar to Hughton without Calderwood. Do you agree with that?

no idea. Maybe we should have cash in on him this summer window considering that we wont get anything for him this coming summer

thats the past. Was he brushed off the ball yesterday?

Looking very forward to the launch of this game in November. Should be very interesting and exciting to play this game when release

Buckley isn't lightweight at all. Did he look lightweight yesterday? Lets see what he does with Poveda now. Think his comments about him being a central player which I guess means the 10 role was based on us signing a striker. We didn't We would be much better off sticking to playing 4-3-3 formation IMO and playing Poveda wide

Good to see Richardson, Beattie and Kelly doing so well at Wigan. thanks for the reply. Have the fans or local papers/reporters turn on him yet? Would be interesting if Cook was sack who Ipswich would go for? Isn't Bristol City former CEO Mark Ashton there as CEO at Ipswich?

Who can we get? I feel we are better going with what we have currently including using Butterworth and McBride until January. In the meantime, Park and his recruitment team get to work on finding a striker we can striker we sign in few days of the window. I hope that Park has sent a scout to Hibs game today scouting Kevin Nisbet. Could be potential striker target Isn't Sturridge set to sign for German club Schalke?

We are 9th in the league table currently. Forget the form guide. If I was to offer you 9th place finish in May with Mowbray in charge and this squad would you or anyone accept that? Yes Mowbray should have gone in the summer after 3 years building a squad and we never came up to going up including last season squad size and we have the second top goalscorer in the league. on transfers, Rovers should have been better and more organise in bring in a striker. Waggott has to carry the can for not being in bring in the striker we needed but why did we wasted so long chasing Obafemi and why wait to the end of window before trying to bring in a striker. Surely we should have a striker line up and in negotiations with one or a few to agree a deal as soon as Armstrong transfer was done. We knew since February that he was very likely he would leave Rovers this season. I would say Buckley is far from a midget and he gets stuck in as yesterday proves and won the ball back on several occasions. Poveda, Dolan and Khadra are wide players. I don't mind Dolan playing up front if his job is a similar role to the Swansea game but wouldn't do that if we have bought in a permanent striker in the last window. I agree that we shouldn't formation at that time. But at 2 nil up after 65 mins I was saying we need a change as Luton was coming into the game but my first change would have Butterworth for Gallagher, But after they scored I said to the people I go with that Mowbray would go defensive and bring on Maglorie. The sub I would have made. More Brereton up front and play Butterworth wide left, I think he could have fetch on Clarkson to put his foot on the ball.

still gutted this morning we didn't win yesterday after being 2 nil and playing so well for the 65 minutes. I'm still think we shouldn't change formation and it was one of the reasons we lost cos we were left man short in centre midfield and our defending for both goals wasn't good enough and the second goal is such a mess defensively and I would have expected Lenihan and Ayala to be more desire and take control of winning the header for the cross and Travis for allowing their Luton player Berry to run off him.

As I posted in the Boro match thread, I listened to the BBC Radio Lancs commentary for the game who had our former striker Danny Graham who was praising Gallagher and his performance. Also spoken to a number of other fans who attended the game and also praised him. on his performance, He did hold the ball up and lay it off for second Rovers goal which you have missed out. You can blame Gallagher for us not being able to keep the ball out of the our half for long but I would look at the entire team for that. Yes he should have scored yestertday Buckley played a key pass in the ball to Nyambe for him to cross to Dolan. But for me, his all round game is much improved and is starting to become a key player going forward. He won the ball on several occasions. Also in the second half he tracked their right back run when Brereton and Pickering were both out of position.

not his best game but I'm not going to be over critical of him today or write him off from playing up front. For me, thats is where he should be playing. He had a good game at Boro and not the best day today I thought Both Buckley and Rothwell wasn't bad at all and probably a 6 for Rothwell and 7 for Buckley. played an excellent ball for Nyambe to pass for Dolan goal. Why? some people are very over critical of certain players at Rovers. Not saying you are one but I do very you can go OTT some times. I thought Pickering had a very decent game tbh defensively

Shocked by 3 results today. WBA drawing with Millwall at home, Fulham losing at Blackpool and Coventry beating Boro

Isn;t Paul Cook close to the sack currently?

Well I think I have just about calm down now after today's game. I thought Rovers played for the first 65 minutes and I felt comfortable and we were the only team going to win. We scored 2 well worked goals and was pleased with our play and we had enough chances to get a third. But then we allowed back into the game with a soft goal. I am lost for my words why Mowbray decided to chance formation and just have 2 centre midfielders instead of 3. The 4-3-3- formation was working good and we looked dangerous. I don't know why he does it must games. I would bought on Butterworth or Khadra for Gallagher just before the first Luton goal. Bringing on Maglorie was a massive mistake as we were inviting more pressure. I thought Dolan and Buckley was good today and Dolan deserved MOTM today. I have zero time for their manager Nathan Jones and I thought his antics and touchline behaviour was embarrassing and pathetic. on the Ref performance, it was embarrassing and to be honest it was appalling. He never control of the game after a couple of months and its about time the EFL and FA improve the standard of referring in this country. simply not good. I would go into more detail buts to be honest it would far too long post. I believe Dolan was clip and should have a penalty awarded second half and not a dive or yellow card according to Andy Bayes and Mark Atkins who seen replays of it

Do yiou know who else we targeted striker wise?

Agreed. Rovers need to focus on get a permanent striker in that first week of that January window. The scouting of strikers and potential signing should be happening from this week of games in my opinion

I wouldn't either of them tbh. Rather use Butterworth or McBride to be honest until January then get a striker in that First week of the January transfer window. Park and the recruitment team focus should be making that happen.

Well looking through the free agency list for Striker and I dont see much quality there.. Would you take Sanogo as 3rd striker option? I'm not sure. Would I rather stick to what we have?.

Hopefully by then FIFA have a plan in place by then. Far from an average players. Been a different player since the first lockdown. He has shown his quality and hopefully he re-sign that's new contract shortly. He will get 12 to 15 goals this season

Yes I like it cos I appreciated him posting that info why we didn't sign Maja that he heard on Radio Lancs

Like I said he isn't a wide left position and why not play Brereton or Butterworth there.

Brereton IS AVAILABLE to play

Rovers to win 2 n tomorrow Butterworth and Gallagher to score
