Still wouldn't play Bell ahead of Douglas - there aren't many decent wingers around so although he isn't great defensively if you want to drop Douglas I'd put Downing at left back. Rothwell's strength is running the ball from deep, so to have him up front doesn't make sense. I'd go 4-5-1 Nyambe, Lenihan, Ayala, Douglas/Downing Elliott, Holtby, Trybull, Johnson, Rothwell Armstrong This gives Armstrong a free role with support from the attacking midfielders. On another note, games come thick and fast so the players must be knackered at the moment Wouldn't be surprised to see Rovers make another very sluggish start. Their efforts in midweek will have taken alot out of them

Thanks, have done the reverse and bet on a Rovers loss Going contrary to your bets is a good way of making money.

At that point Armstrong had been our worst player ...... and he's been poor for several weeks now.

The last 20 minutes was our best period of the game. You should have seen the first 70

Some good points in there. Mowbray should pick the below and stick with them. It's a flawed team and some players have obvious weaknesses but they are the best we have at present. Nyambe; Lenihan, Ayala, Douglas or Downing Elliott, Holtby, Johnson or Trybull, Rothwell Armstrong, Gallagher Forget about Buckley / Williams and one or 2 others.

Tony doesn't help himself, or maybe he does it deliberately, but that starting XI was never going to work and we only looked a more cohesive unit when the entire midfield had been replaced. Rev's right, watching Rovers under Mowbray does wear you down because as a bullshitting talking head you know he's taking us on a road to nowhere, and getting excited at victory is completely pointless.

It wasn't just the poor football and poor performance - the players didn't look up for it and wandered around for 70 minutes as though they couldn't care less. The first half was as devoid of passion as I've seen from Rovers in many years. Tony has to take the blame - not only did he pick the wrong team, they went into the match in the wrong frame of mind.

Buckley instead of Holtby ? Buckley is 21 but plays like he's 17 (the opposite to Elliott). He needs to spend a season in league one and get 40 games under his belt. At present he's just a lightweight and should never start a game

After that amount of time I'd have expected some insight Most disappointing.

I'm sure Gallagher has concrete in his boots instead of feet. His first touch is awful and his second is usually a tackle to try and get the ball back

Totally undeserved but it's the result that counts. Mowbray got it totally wrong with his starting XI. Dropping Holtby for Buckley was ridiculous The manager will continue to frustrate and annoy

We DO NOT deserve that

Elliott 1-1. Undeserved

First player I'd drop after sacking the manager is Armstrong.

Rovers players have given up

And there it is. What a farce

This is lamentable. Rotherham are as bad as us Gallagher poor control then a crap pass

Relief from the football. It's so painful to watch

He's 21 already. He should be showing much more by now

Should be back next year after a 4-year restoration. That's the most fun I've had tonight

Why single out one player when the whole team looks like it can't be bothered?

This is pretty awful. Rotherham has 2 better chances

Very poor so far. We're such an ordinary side. no drive or direction

Agree. Midfield looks all wrong to me. Where's the defensive cover apart from the floundering Johnson?

Wouldn't drop Holtby myself, and I'd rather see a 4-4-2 than 4-3-3. Midfield looks inexperienced and lightweight
