I really hope that big lump Nuhiu isn't playing for them. He is slow, unskilled and can hardly run but he always manages to cause chaos amongst our defence. I don't like giving predictions as there are usually too many variables but I'm not confident at all going into this game.

I get that. My point was that Keogh has no value and is effectively sacked. The other two who caused the accident are suspended, fined and then free to play. The difference is that the two drink drivers will be worth some money if they are transferred and Derby are protecting that.

Mowbray had a short break in India less than two weeks before the Preston second half debacle.

There is no consistency here though. What about the other two who actually drove under the influence and caused the injury to him? They have actually played for the first team since the accident. There is something far deeper in this story and I'd be amazed if it not the monetary value of Lawrence and Bennett when they actually get shut of them.

I think he will win his appeal. Maybe Derby, in the knowledge he will appeal and win, will then say it's pointless sacking the other two as they too would appeal and win. But the world and his wife know that they have a transfer value and Derby are likely to cash in on that. Keogh is collateral damage. A club without morals or scruples.

I remember driving home from an away match at Brighton early in the season and I got a text to say Bowyer had been sacked. It turned out to be wrong. It was November when he went if I remember correctly.

Who is Ken Lawrence?

Brentford away. 2-0 up and coasting - end up losing 5-2, Birmingham home 2-0 up, draw 2-2. They are just off the top of my head.

Steve was interviewed in London by Alan Curtis, Leon Brittan and Trevor Birch. He hadn't even got back to Euston Station when he got a call to go back to the hotel for a second interview. Who would interview Mowbrays replacement? Waggott, Cheston and Pasha. I wouldn't trust them three to make a jelly.

And Waggott and Coar can say 'what more can we do' in a deflection tactic.

What about the young keeper we took from Everton? I've only seen him once but he looked assured and dominant.

Dack was angry yesterday, much more than anybody else. In the second half, right in front of the Rovers fans he showed his frustration by gesturing angrily after another attacking move broke down due to a poor decision. He then got himself booked for hacking down a Nobber. If more players showed that attitude we might have had a chance. Some of them didn't appear to be hurting by what happened.

I didn't see Bennett get booked. If he was it's his fifth and he'll miss the next game.

In the first half we pressed quite high all over the pitch and knocked them out of their stride. In the second half we were ten yards deeper which allowed them to go longer and win second balls. We simply invited pressure and allowed them to bully us. What made us change? If might have been Mowbray or the players themselves but Mowbray was so passive in the dugout I'm inclined to think he was happy. At 2-1 Travis was stripped and ready to come on but them scoring the penalty changed that. So at 2-2 Mowbray then appeared content as the change didn't happen but the majority could see we needed fresh legs. It's just another damning condemnation of Mowbrays management style how he dithers and is indecisive.

Maybe I misread it Matty but I thought the majority of boos were aimed at the referee who was making his way off.

And some of the protesting Rovers fans were spat on and threatened by those holding different views.

Pretty much yes. The 'get behind the team' brigade.

You have to do what it takes to win the game. Mowbray is stuck in a time warp and his holier than thou nonsense interviews tell us this. Neil was brave and made a decision to go three up front and direct to Stockley. Kudos to him for that, I'm struggling to think when (of if) Mowbray has radically changed anything and got us a result. The fact we have only come from behind in the Championship once during his tenure to win speaks volumes.

Travis was ready to come on just before the penalty. The substitute card was given to the fourth official and Travis was stripped. The penalty being scored changed their thinking. That was in the 65th minute. He waited until they scored their third before bringing Graham on in the 84th minute. I can't understand why he didn't bring Travis on at the time of the penalty as we were being battered and we needed fresh legs or a change in the system.

I will grudgingly give Neil praise today for his extremely brave move after about twenty minutes by taking off his playmaker and bringing on an extra forward who was instrumental in Nobbers winning the game. First half it was like we had signed a few new players as we started on the front foot and deservedly took a two goal lead but the talk at half time was how important the next goal would be. Step forward Wally Walton who gifted them a goal. The writing was on the wall from then I'm afraid. Yes we should have had a penalty, yes we were naive but football is about results and they aren't good enough and that is Mowbrays responsibility. Mowbray was really subdued today and it was around 43 minutes when he first stood up and then it was to berate the fourth official. Similarly in the second half he was rarely on his feet. There was something really odd about that. With two tough games coming up he was like a man walking the Green Mile.

II think you are right about Dack dropping deep but for me it's borne out of frustration. He can go for long periods in some games without touching the ball due to the inane possession based football his manager wants to play. The slow and boring passing along the back line and occasional pass into midfield frustrates most of us and Dack doesn't seem to be an exception.

He should strive to pick a team that encompasses all three but his signings have curtailed that. Once again he is digging himself a big hole with his 'I know best' interviews.

I believe the truth is that Mowbray will be the master of his own destiny primarily down to the lack of structure and weakness above him. And the real worry is that he knows that and is working under no pressure. I still think he is a decent person and that might be the one thing that convinces him that he has taken us as far as he can and and he walks. I don't think that is likely to happen for some time get though.

He has given the players the perfect excuse to lose the game with total impunity with a caveat of as long as they try. He should be kept away from microphones.

The vast majority of Rovers fans expect a defeat whilst the Nobbers I know are predicting a comfortable win. I'm with the majority and expect a dithering Mowbray to make changes to personnel and tactics for the starting eleven and with every substitution. If what I believe will happen does then it needs every Rovers fan to let Mowbray, his staff, Waggott and the players to know in no uncertain terms that what they are giving us is completely unacceptable. The time has come for the aforementioned to accept their responsibilities and earn their huge wages.
