Definitely, looks more like a footballer than most of the other members of the team. If Mowbray is looking for players who can keep possession, then he’s the best placed young player we have......in my view anyway.

No way is Davenport ready for the first team, but John Buckley looked excellent. Rovers best player for me.

Probably because various agents have too much influence over the football authorities, and the people who want to be club owners.

We’re having a visit from old PNE And all the talk is about types of tea So put on the kettle and make up a brew To give us the strength to batter that crew.

I thought this was the Birmingham away thread, not PNE at home.

Absolutely accurate assessment of the situation. A lot of so called fans more interested in getting drunk and/or high than watching the game. Even in the stand there were “off their head” idiots abusing other fans. It’s a good job we didn’t lose or there could have been some serious inter-fan aggro, and I don’t mean between Rovers and Brum fans.

At game perspective; we needed to stop losing run and did. From the moment they scored we more than matched them, mainly because we set up further up the pitch. Not so sure that Adams was shooting for their equaliser.

One of the main problems in Feb has been the drop in form of Reed. He does so much covering across the back four but has not been as effective in the last three games. A dominant keeper who can organise the back four also needed, Raya nowhere near the finished article and has no real competition.

This is awful

Agreed.

Jack Walker’s trust wasn’t watertight enough so his family were able to sell the club despite his wishes.

Danny Graham, the best footballer we’ve got. Great to watch a class player, who the rest of the team appreciate so much, if not all our fans.

In some ways we are lucky that the Venkys didn’t walk away and leave the club in administration. As it is, they are still putting millions into BRFC to keep us going. Surely that alone should mean they are extended some degree of courtesy when a family member visits the club. Personal insults will never get us anywhere in the long road to a better relationship going forward, and no, I’m not an apologist for the Rao family.

This performance is far worse than at PNE.

You can pay cash at the turnstile tonight. Got tkts this am, apparently a lot of fans have made late decision to go to Wigan.

I’ve never understood why anyone should support any team other than their local one. Cockneys supporting Utd and Liverpool is just bizarre.

Your posts are always witty and to the point, Mercer, even though plenty of folk take umbrage at them. I don’t think folk get where you are coming from at times. The first two sentences of your latest offering are factually correct, is the last part of sentence three, while also correct, meant to be sarcastic?

One thing that will happen on Saturday is cheering every time Richie Smallwood gets near the ball. His status has been under question this season, but his effort in goal at West Brom has given him a lot of positive sentiment, and rightly so. I just hope that Reed is played in centre midfield with him.

Brilliant performance today, has to be in central midfield.

This was a game you had to be at to appreciate the effort from both fans and players that went into getting that point. It felt like a win to me, loved it being there.

Derby 2 0 up at WBA after 15 mins!

Please don’t get ahead of yourself again, oh and we ended up looking very, very bad.

We need to figure out a way to play when DG is subbed because we are usually only drawing or leading by 1 goal when he goes off. We don’t know if Brereton can do a job as lone striker because TM never plays him there.

He doesn’t look like someone who has played 50 odd Champioship games, an he looks to me like a player devoid of confidence. It’s a difficult task for TM to sort him out.

Shelf Utd are an excellent footballing team, running Derby ragged at the moment. Really good to watch, all credit to them.
