Pen?

Exactly the same as last year.

Kinell the touch of Brereton and Gallagher is awful.

Nobody on the bench to play there.

Can't grumble to be losing. Getting nowt here.

Yup

Make shift back 4. Take a point here.

Nyambe with his bi monthly hamstring issue. No cover on the bench

Kin ell. Could and should be 2 down here. Living a charmed life.

Think in true Rovers style we will lose tonight and maybe scrape a draw sat. If not, it will be an interesting season.

Shame Hogg's out. Was looking forward to him getting a roasting. Hamstring?

Yes he was. At times In the second half Buckley seemed to be as well. It all seemed pretty fluid though with Brereton having a spell there also.

A little reminiscent of the league one promotion campaign. We tended to blow teams away in 20-30 min spells but be bang average the rest of the time.

Thought we did very well. Today. Cardiff were on top until we scored. Some great goals. Loved the second and 4th. Excellent stuff. Ayala is class. Midfield did well today and well done Diaz on the hatrick. Thought Dolan was the stand out player though. Superb tracking back. The cross for the second was the best I've seen in years...and no way was he not getting ahead of the CB for his goal. Could be a real player for us.

Cardiff worked us out very quickly here.

Cardiff worked us out very quickly here.

Cheers. Will make a decision last minute!

Is there still a waggott tax buying tickets after 12?

Here's my frustration with Mowbray. The pragmatic 'defend first' and counter approach means we are picking up points in games where we wouldn't have last year. We are clearly a goalscorer short of really benefitting from this approach. Last year we had one. A more suited to counter attacking striker you'd struggle to find. Set the team up this way last year and I bet we finish a damn sight higher. His stubbornness is often to the detriment of the team.

Problem with loans. For every one that turns out to be decent, two tend to be crap. So far the Brighton lad looks good, the Leeds and Liverpool lads poor. God knows about the bizzarre injured CB loan.

Sounds a shocking performance.

Mowbray clearly settling for a point here with those subs. Be amazed if we don't concede late on.

Kudos to the ref. He's been decent this lad.

Rothwell has put in a shift this half.

If you can't play with pace and power in this league, pace and trickery is the next best option. Brereton a lot better this half.
