Shame about today, never been to Coventry, one of the fixtures I was looking forward to attending in a normal world Tuesday is a proper test. We need to beat the likes of Reading to show we're not just flat track bullies

Reading ahead 1-0, they're romping away at the top If we can beat those sort of teams I might believe we're getting somewhere

Looking that way. Flatten the poor teams but come up short against the better ones.

Some you win.....

Just stuck some money on a 1-1 draw. Easy pickings

1-0 until 85th min and then they equalise?

Armstrong needs 10 chances to score one at the moment

Tony desperately needs to win this. The excitement of the new signings has gone following 2 defeats and the knives are out for him again on social media. A top performance doesn't cut it either. Three points please

Williams is a poor left back but decent enough at centre back for a lower Championship side. He wouldn't be in the team though with any club that had aspirations for promotion.

You should have ended it there. We played badly against Forest and lost. We played well (apparently) against Watford and lost more heavily. Perhaps it would be better to play badly and not lose by so many? This obsession with performances makes no sense and is just comfort seeking to disguise the fact we're an average team that will likely finish no higher last season.

Look at Howard Kendall's promotion team and Kenny Dalglish's Premiership-winning team. They didn't play the best football but they knew how to win football matches. Kendall's side won alot of games 1-0 IIRC, rock solid in defence and took their chances when they came. That Rovers performance last night was the opposite.... a host of missed opportunities and soft goals conceded too easily. We effectively lost the game in the first 20 mins. I don't hold out any hope for this season. Nothing has changed.

We lost 3-1. Years of watching football has taught me that playing well and losing is a very bad sign. Performances don’t win games but tactical nous does. We will never get anywhere under this manager

That’s a ridiculous post after another defeat in which the manager’s weaknesses were exposed again. Onwards and downwards towards the bottom is the truth

He's a converted midfield player - you don't get away with it at this level

Another fine effort by this top 6 squad.

Lone wolf howls at moon..............

You need to get out more

My goodness we're a soft, soft team. It's so easy to score against us

Mowbray's hopeless. When will fans realise we're going nowhere as long as he's at the club?

Shame about the starting XI

We're in mid-table after tonight's results. About right for where we are as a club under this manager The new signings won't make any difference Watford 2 Rovers 0

Our conquerors Forest losing at home to mighty Rotherham

Totally arse about face. If you want entertainment watch the tv, go to the cinema or pick blackheads in front of the mirror. I watch rovers and any sport to see my team win. I find it staggering after nearly 10 years of purgatory since we sacked Sam allardyce that so called fans cannot see that it was one of the most stupid moves the club has made in its entire history. I can only conclude that such fans haven’t a clue how about how football works and what it takes for a club such as ours to survive at the highest level. Anyway back to today and another failing rovers manager, the latest in a long list since Sam allardyce was forced out of the club

Have to say, the new signings won't make much difference because of Tony's well documented faults over poor selection and tactics and motivation. Unless some of the new lads such as Douglas who knows what is takes to get us promoted and can galvanise the dressing room, we're likely to end up in mid table again. We shouldn't have lost today and I just don't us getting anywhere this season - and that's all down to the manager.

You're on your own there matey. If you want entertainment go to the circus
