Bloomin' right. Mowbray;s statement that he wanted to "give the players who won promotion their chance" is hogwash. A good manager would identify where the team needs to strengthen and act quickly. His failure to do so has led to us wallowing in mid table and led to the added risk that our best player could leave sooner rather than later because we're not competitive in this division.

Raya does make mistakes and has cost us points this season and last but he's still young and is not the finished article. I'd stick with him because the team needs strenghtening elsewhere more urgently but if a good offer came in for him I'd be a seller. There's a few solid, experienced 30-year-old keepers around on the edges of PL squads who we could get as a replacement

Replay that neither clubs wants ...... lucky to be 10,000 on Ewood.

Tinkerman Tony strikes again. Rovers have thrown away more winning positions this season than any other club in the country

Has Mowbray ever heard of the expression "if it ain't broke don't fix it" ????????

Here we go again .......Mowbray substitutions by rote

Why not buy the Times today - at £1.90 the Mowbray feature is worth the price alone.

Lenihan gets beaten for headers far too easily - it's cost us quite a few goals this season. He's OK at centre back in League One but at this level le looks what he is - a converted midfield player

Our season is effectively over in terms of excitement as we're unlikely to get promoted or go down while a cup run would give fans a real boost. While Benitez will also want a cup run to distract fans from their relegation battle it is quite likely that he will rest some of his more important players for the battles ahead. I hope Mowbray takes this tie seriously and fields his strongest possible XI as it is entirely winnable if he gets the players in the right frame of mind.

Graham has lost pace but he's still a hugely important asset to the team. There's no one else in the club who can hold the ball up like him or play with their back to goal. Look how we struggle to keep the ball in the opposition half when he is not in the team - it comes back all the time, putting extra pressure on the defence. He's still first name on the teamsheet for me.

Nyambe's speed and athletic ability are the reasons why he's more likely to make it in the Premier League than Dack. He's not ready for the PL yet in my opinion and would benefit from another season with us but you can see why top clubs are looking. I do hope we make meaningful signings this month. A centre half, left back and a young winger would give the team such a boost

Oh dear https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46677191 Hope you enjoyed tour trip to Nottingham !

Albion fans not happy. They think today's defeat was coming, that their team is too old and are castigating the manager for not playing their young players.

I'd take a draw at Millwall in view of my dismal record watching Rovers there. I do wish Mowbray would get a big dominating centre half in - and soon. Would make a huge difference to the side

Travis is already 21, from today it's obvious he should have more than 50 appearances under his belt by now.

Good start to 2019. Let's hope it continues Still need 2 new centre halves though

Squeaky bum time.....6 mins added

Leeds 4-2 down at Forest after leading 2-1.

In other matches, Hull tonking Bolton 4-0. Big turnaround in fortunes there.

Very surprised if this ends 2-1. Given their quality compared to us West Brom ought to turn this round

Mowbray appears to plan his subs before the game irrespective of the game situation of who's playing well. It was Dack's turn today

Hopefully not. We've no form for collpasing have we ? Come on Rovers !

Reasonable first half but we know the script. Subs around 70 minute mark who make us worse followed by Rovers conceding late on

Not been to every single match at the Den but I certainly can't remember seeing a win there. I'm planning to go on January 12 - perhaps I should stay away.

Expecting 3 points at Millwall is a big call - in all my decades of going to the Den I've only seen us gain 1 point there. I think Stuart's far too optimistic with his hopes for these fixtures. I'd go LLDDDL
