Cancel football it’s not the same without Dack! Feels like this is the last season we may get to enjoy his genius.

Sounds like Rhodes may be back to enjoying football again, when he’s loved he’ll score goals in this league he’s had a couple of shocking seasons but fancy he’ll bag 20 this one He probably needed that today after his penalty last week.

Sounds like a great first half performance, we have assembled some really exciting attacking talent, Dack, Palmer and Armstrong behind this Brererton kid could be lethal

True but we had no alternative right backs or at least fewer of them. Travis isn’t likely to be first choice so may not get as much time

I agree with Mowbray about Travis, I said after the Millwall game he has all the potential in the world but decision making needs work and that only comes with game time. I think one season in league one would be ideal

Add to that i don’t recall Brereton ever being mentioned as a good option until we are linked then we should definitely sign him for £8m - until we don’t sign him and the club was definitely right not to spend so much on him.

I got emotional seeing the clip that Rovers tweeted. No matter what has happened since he made I happen and we did it, he’ll never be forgotten!

Chapmans injury is a shoulder one which is a relief for him and not the dreaded hammy

Seems like Dack is having the type of game not seen since Tugay played in that testimonial

I said he’d get injured - feel bad for the lad must be hard having all this talent but not being able to use it So pleased Palmer scored he needed to get a goal early days

Hope gives them some hope

Really happy with that team a good blend of strength whilst giving a few guys a go Shame to see Chapman starting for Boro

That one doesn’t seem imminent then, can see him getting injured again sadly

I think Gallagher is most likely, seeing if Chapman plays tonight for Boro will be telling

Best to take with a pinch of salt anyone who claims to be in the know these days, people on here and twitter from random blokes with connections, National and local journos on the whole have been way off this window with the odd exception on individual signings. Have to say I much prefer it this way as well. Edit - have to say I think Chapman will come as well, it’s an easy assumption to make really.

I think it’s potentially that’s it’s just a little anticlimactic that’s all. Earlier in the window I wasn’t clamouring for his signing however I think at this point he’d certainly improve the squad and on that basis be a welcome addition.

I’d go for a strong team, no need to rest many at this point let’s get a win and some confidence. Dack is one I am unsure of as he is pivotal to us so would we want to risk him but he’s looki marginally unfit so more game time may be good. i think he’ll start both Palmer and Rothwell though with them swapping between central and out wide.

Imagine he’ll get a game for them on Tuesday in the ‘whateveritscalled Cup’

I think we have enough to be ok, we don’t want to be looking over our shoulders at any point though so would be lovely to have a good start and get the first win quickly

Crikey it’s worrying when Chaddy expects us to be in a relegation battle....

At least he’s disappointed - better than just pretending all is going to plan as some prefer to do. Need a striker in this week

Really really poor first half, then a really good 30 mins followed by seeing the game out. People say not to worry about not bringing a striker in because we have time well todays game was today - before we have signed one and Graham was dead on his feet with 25 left and no replacement in sight. This will be an unpopular opinion but Travis needs a season on loan he needs to learn the game in his short spell today his decision making was bothersome although he has the attributes. Also Raya’s kicking was appalling Not catastrophic but disappointing result.

Rothwell taking to the game well

Palmer off for Rothwell, he’s had a really good game for me so slightly odd
