Very harsh again on Rankin-Costello IMO So how are you playing? 4-4-2? Today result whilst a good point against the League leaders doesn't change my opinion that we need a change of manager if we are to get promote or challenge for promotion. If Rovers are thinking of making a change of manager then hopefully we are in discuss with that manager and this is the right time now to do that with no games for 13 days and International break. Similar to what we did when we sacked Bowyer after Brentford home game on Monday night and Appointed Lambert a week later but already held discussions with him before appointing him.

Some Managers could have used that entire money for squad rebuild not just 2 players. He wanted Luke Freeman before Brereton but it didn't happened supposedly cos the QPR manager McClaren threaten to walk out if he was sold. When we got promoted from League 1 he should have signed a proper centre back like Jake Cooper, John Egan, Konsa or Matt Clarke but he didnt. He went cheap option and went for Rodwell

Would you offer Evans a new contract? On Rankin-Costello's durability, he is coming back from a injury that kept him for while. Surely its better to be safe than sorry. He is still young and his body is growing. One thing is must and we must keep him here long term. Improving as right back game by game. Gallagher will score goals when we put in good quality balls into the box. Just imagine if he played Gallagher and Armstrong has a front 2 we might score more goals. If Armstrong does leave for Brighton or Fulham then we need at least 1 probably 2 strikers.

Well no it isn't irrelevant considering the wages he is still on around 40k from what I believe. You aren't going to be offering that sort of wage to squad player. No he wouldn't walk to into team cos the team played and pick up a point. Rhodes need to play in a front 2 for me. We dont play that way.

Today's result which is a good point should play no part if deciding Mowbray's future at the club. The main questions remaining are 1. Is Mowbray good enough to get us promote next season? 2. Why haven't we challenge for the top 6 this season after he was backed financially in terms of wages, transfer fees and being allow 3 seasons to build his squad? 3. Why has Mowbray sign players that don't fit the tactics and the way he wants to play?

what a waste of signing by Mowbray

so your comment that he would walk into our team is wrong then cos he wouldn't. Rhodes can finish but whether he would be regular starter in a top 6 side is very debateable.

According to Mercer he is replacing Mowbray before the summer. Any updates @Mercer ?

Well if you look at some of Mowbray's signings over the 2/3 seasons they dont his tactics or the way he wants to play like Ayala, Johnson for example

Thought that aswell. People have tweeted him that already

We played really well and it was good to see. A well deserved point judge from the radio commentary. Very pleased Gallagher scored. Play him up front and good quality balls in he will score. Evans in front of back 4 worked. Most players had decent/good games. Douglas's positioning for their goal was poor. Pleased Pickering we come in next season. My questions are 1. Why haven't perform like this recently?(since PNE game) 2. This result should have no barely on Mowbray's future. 7 points from 12 games is appalling.. 3. Is Holtby back in team one of the reason we performed so well today? 4. Is Rankin-Costello any closer to signing a new contract? cos he was good today and in most games he played. He is one player who for this club we should be building around the squad around

Play him as a striker and get balls into the box he will score goals. Like Preston and Stoke away last season

Well done Gallagher. Good header Pleased for him

Poor defending by Douglas for their goal

How does Rhodes fit into Mowbray's tactics that he is deploy today considering we are playing false 9? Different manager/head coach maybe depending on their tactics.

Bayes and Gallagher on Radio lancs full of praise for the performance so far and how we are pressing them.

Why?

Buckley should be starting every game now in centre midfield now But hes not a striker or false 9 tho. Play in centre midfield

Told you Buckley would play false 9 role. Why are you surprise? Why are you interest in Journalists questioning him? Hopefully today game will be his last. I see Brereton is more of a wide player in a front 3. That's where his best performances have come from. McBride should be in the squad base on form

I guess it will be Buckley has false 9 with Brereton left and Dolan right. Why not call up Burns or McBride if Armstrong wasnt fit and why we need 4 midfielders on bench I dont know. 3 should be enough in more circumstances.

Why would I go 2 up front against them and get over run in midfield. We need to be solid defensively and not allow their midfielders time and space. Play on the counter attack

Looks at how and when he scores goals like crossing into the box. Him and Armstrong as front 2. Would I sign Gallagher in the 1st place? No I wouldnt. Dack has scored a couple of goals since returning from his 1 st injury. Now he is out for at least 12 months now. Hopefully Mowbray will be gone soon and at least by end of the season, so we can rebuild this squad under a new manager/head coach
