You said that last night, and on many other occasions when it didn't make sense. Why do you do it?

Would he ? Better than Gallagher but neither of them are goalscorers

Same old story though, never quite good enough to take that next step We also tend to play better away from home

Just one point from those games ?? shows we're not good enough to compete at that level

Howe many of our shots last night were on target - not that many? It's a simple technique to keep your toe pointing down and knee over the ball but all our lot can't do it. Armstrong was the worst culprit

I must have seen all of thpse Kendall 1-0s. Very similar to Bristol last night - keep it tight at the back and nick a goal near the end. That's how you win promotion.

Another failure against a top 6 team. Until we start beating them we haven't a hope of making the play-offs

This is disappointing. We.ve played the better football but there's been no cutting edge. Soft goal too.

... and there it is sucker punch We just cannot beat the top 6 teams

We've struggled since Holtby went off.

Ayala free header should be 1-0

Rothwell playing so well. Much better from Armstrong

Gallagher built like a brick sh..house but never uses his body or head first to the ball

Looks like a 0-0 to me

Greedy Armstrong....pass it man

Gallagher sometimes has concrete in his boots

Rovers playing nicely, team looks well balanced and confident. Just lacking that final ball Mowbray doesn't need to swap players

2 good footballing teams ..... good to watch

Elliott has great eye for a pass

Ayala and Williams doesn't work ..... mistakes and holes appearing

Briston had 2 good chances ... could easily be losing this

Awful from Armstrong... should have done much better there

Always used to try and get over the wall at the Riverside and sit on one of those little benches. The game was so different to watch at pitch level - absolutely loved it. Highlights were throwing the ball to Sir Keith Newton for a throw-in and being right behind Andy McEvoy's as he struck a right footed screamer into the bottom corner for the winner v Charlton in about 1967

Anecdotal tale but a relative of the great Alex James told me that in the 1930s Arsenal used to soak the match ball in a bucket of water before the match. From the kick off they would tap the ball back to the Arsenal centre half who would then hoof it in the air downfield towards the head of the opposing centre half with the aim of knocking him out!

Bournemouth 4-0 up at Barnsley. Just thought I'd mention it
