I remember the incident- it was in the 89th minute when Rovers were peppering the Coventry goal looking for the 5th- Brereton was about to have the miss which was the only blot on an otherwise impeccable performance. Kaminsky was a bit unprofessional as he was on his way off with the ball still in play. Rovers held possession and really slowed it down before knocking it out after presumably Mowbray had told him to stay put. In the 3 minutes added time, our outfield players ensured the ball never went anywhere near the stricken keeper.

I just hope having the Dack of old is a headache we are going to have around Christmas. We have no idea what injuries or other absences we will have when he is coming back nor what first eleven has or has not gelled by then.

Why are we discussing a largely unused sub at the Championship's bottom club? Rhodes and Armstrong are only similar in being goal scoring forwards for us. Despite all the goals, I think Armstrong is off the pace at the moment. Wonderful things are going on all around him but he doesn't seem to fit in terribly well.

Beat what is front of you. Coventry were marmelised and the stats support what we saw. Well, not quite, how did Coventry get to 34% possession? Echoing a lot of what has already been said but Williams massively the better of the central defenders. Douglas and Trybull both looked short of match action so salivating over what there is to come from them. Buckley much much better when he came on than the game he started- good management by Mowbray to give him the chance to rebuild immediately. Johnson solid and no mistakes today. To the stellar performers Brereton two assists and a penalty won had his best game for the Rovers so far but still looks way short of the finished article. Holtby magnificent except for missing the goal with SIX very straightforward chances. For a player who can pass a ball through microscopic gaps with perfect weight, I just hope there isn't a psychological problem when the intended destination is the back of the net rather than another Rovers player. Elliott just wow- an assist and a goal and what an all round performance. In matches to come he is going to be the automatic must find player as the ball is passed forward. Oh and Armstrong scored two and Gally was awful until he buried Elliott's perfect cut-back.

Settings button not visible using Safari. Well what an odd half. Lenihan had a nightmare for twenty minutes. Apart from the penalty Armstrong having a poor game. Holtby missed four excellent chances. ref given us nothing since the penalty and bonus red card. Otherwise really encouraged by the play and Brereton is close to unplayable. Over to Mowbray to avoid a second half horror show and turn it into a rout.

Using Safari but can only get the home commentary. iFollow are ridiculously inconsistent

No picture. Audio OK

Oh hush- I thought the same but kept my typing finger still!

Watford squeezed out a 1-0 against Bournemouth. Those 6 points from two games sends them zooming. Possession 62-38 in favour of Bournemouth but unlike against us, all the other stats were in Watford's favour. Still think Bournemouth are the strongest side in the division. Quick non-edit, Bournemouth grabbed a 95th minute equaliser!

Looking at no central defenders on the subs bench so presumably Nyambe is cover for Leniham and Williams also. I will join in the upbeat mood about that selection of eleven and the bench. All we have top do now is win- simples....

Very much hoping we get a continuation of Trybull who subbed for Evans and was dramatically better.

Reading game comes a day too soon before his quarantine ends.

Not totally convinced but he is not the soft touch he was and he has the ability to get through or past more than one player. My gut feel is that when Dack is back we will simply have too many players on the park the opposition need to double up against and if Brereton can play well enough to sustain his place, he should thrive in such conditions. Then it will be down to Holtby, Travis, Rothwell, Trybull, Johnson, Dack, Arma, Elliott, Brereton and Dolan to scrap it out for who gets into the midfield and forward 6. Notice there are several significant names missing whom I don't think are good enough to challenge those ten.

2017/18 started with those two defeats as well- I was not alone in contemplating life in League 2 after that Doncaster home defeat. Mowbray has said he doesn't take serious notice of the table until after 12 games. Well taking you at your word, just the six back to back wins starting at Coventry please, Tony.

Pretty well how I feel about it especially as Coventry seem to be down to the bare bones. The big squads at Rovers and Forest could well be decisive in this season of Covid quarantines and two games a week. I have no doubt there are managers who would get this Rovers squad up in first or second place. Not sure Mowbray is one of them.

FT 0-0 after 5 more minutes of injury time taking the total for the match to 17 minutes added. Rovers up to 2nd in Division 1

Brennan now injured and we have already used our three subs. Carrying on.

Paton on for the injured Pike. McBride has had three great chances including missing a sitter just now.

Saadi on for Burns now for Rovers. Rovers started second half on top but West Ham just had two great chances. Rovers defenders blocking everything so Stargiarkos has had nothing to do until making a great save from a third West Ham chance- Hammers well on top now apparently.

HT 0-0

West Ham had two lengthy injury breaks as well. 12 minutes of added time. Rovers having the better chances but still 0-0

Joe Grayson stretchered off. Sam Barnes on as his replacement.
