Well it wasn’t clear to me why Bennett was played at left back. I would have thought a better formation would have been 3 centre-halves.Bennet right-wingback, Downing left-wingback

I had a complete rupture of my left ACL 30 year’s ago. At the time the prognosis was that I had damaged cartilage tissue. I carried on playing football for a further 10 years. 10 years after that I had an arthroscopy on my knee which brought to light the fact my ACL is now missing. In the mean time I have had reconstructive surgery carried out on the ACL in my other knee. So yes I do have some experience with this type of injury

You’re wrong, it would be almost impossible to partially tear an ACL

I still don’t understand why Holtby who was our man of the match ,was substituted

A torn ACL, is a torn ACL, it cannot be made worse.

Rovers fans singing "Where were you at Aberfan " to Cardiff fans.

It would seem so

Was that because of what he posted on twitter?

To tell the truth this may be off topic. But I am not bothered about poor players we have had in the past. But the merits of the players in our present squad.

What has the maths lesson got to do with the discussion?

For me Gordon lee. Perhaps it’s an age thing

I hope that if Bell is picked for Saturday, he manages a mediocre performance. That will be an improvement on what he has produced so far and will upgrade my opinion of him. Come Saturday afternoon I hope I will be able to type :- Ding dong what a performance.

Bell is not a million times better than anybody

In my opinion I rate Bell to have a worse attitude than Goulon. Neither are pro level footballers.

As a footballer yes

He is in my opinion the worst pro footballer I have seen in a Rovers kit

I don’t specially want Tony to leave. I want him to be successful.

To be honest, I don't give a damn what Ewood looks like on the tele. I am more bothered about how the team looks on the pitch. I think we will win 3-1 but with the caveat that I don't know what team will be picked.

At least they would be in their proper positions. I agree that they might not be the best back 4. But I will reserve judgement until I have seen them play together

But in my opinion still better than what we had last season. An out of position midfielder at right back . A failing midfielder and an out of position midfielder at centre halves. With a left back in Bell who on what he has shown at the Rovers, should not be a pro footballer.

Personally I don’t think it has to be. I would play Nyambe Tosin Williams Hart. If we change to 3 at the back. I would use the first 3

Personally I’d pick Rothwell instead of Dack

So no Rothwell or Holtby

But usually without the ball

for me the last one
