Gut feeling says another Bristol City / Swansea today. North End in good form and our leaky defence won't be able to cope. 3-1 defeat

Ipswich fans forced out a perfectly decent manager in Mick McCarthy because they thought they could do better. They deserve relegation.

Bet365 boss Denise Coates paid herself £265 million this year (news item this week). I presume £264 million of it was your losing bets.

Could someone ask Coar what he does exactly?

Don't encourage the club - Sky blue is Man City, not Rovers. Change it back please

It's a rip off, antagonises fans and causes ill feeling towards the club. The amount isn't the issue for most (though £3 is alot to many people in these days of low wages and food banks) but the principle of unnecessary charging is important. The club should drop it asap.

Are you serious ? Travelling by train is often the only alternative for London commuters and other big cities but around the rest of the country most people vote with their feet (and pockets) and use the car. I don't want to book online in advance and eye wateringly high rail fares deter me from making many last-minute journeys, and because the roads are so crowded, I often don't travel at all. The comparison is valid because Rovers fans, like rail travellers, do not like the feeling they are being ripped off .

Same as walk on fares on the railways - they make it more expensive. The trouble is, it it deters people from travelling at the last minute and encourages them to seek alternatives, and in the case of Rovers, staying at home instead of going to watch the match. Makes no sense to me.

As a shareholder in Labrokes I love mug punters All your Rovers betting losses will be coming to me in the form of share price gains and dividends. Thank you

How can you afford to have a family when you lose so much money betting on Rovers ? A monkey sticking a pin on a paper gets more results right than you.

What agenda did thd Times reporter who interviewed Hoddle have? Hoddle came out with his remark out of the blue during the course of the interview.

Reporters doing their jobs. England manager coming out with controversial, offensive statements is news - big news. Where's the hypocrisy ?

How can saying this sort of stuff be in any way "acceptable"? This is about basic decency, not free speech. Laws in developed nations need tightening so people like him end up in court.

Agreed. Hoddle's remarks were offensive and inappropriate for his position. It shows the sort of bubble footballers exist in if he thought he could make those comments and there not be repercussions. Hoddle knew he was talking to a journalist from a leading newspaper and his "thoughts" would be transmitted around the world - why did he not just stick to his brief as England manager ?

Was that the 0-0 draw? If so I was there too - awful game and Rovers fans were at their foul-mouthed worst

When you've got a track record of getting it spectacularly wrong (and jinxing Rovers at the same time), why do you keep[ doing this? It's very annoying. In any case, QPR are in very good form and this will be a very difficult game. There's also far too much hubris on here. Rovers 1 QPR 2.

Certainly the game is more technical now and teams better organised and analysed but the best managers in the world cannot vouch for a forward who can leave 3 defenders for dead with a turn of pace of piece of skill. Point I was trying to make was Mowbray makes it far too complicated by playing players out of position and different formations instead of letting them show their natural ability.

Matt Busby's managerial philosophy was to pick his best players and let them get on with it. He wouldn't have told his best player - George Best - to play up front on his own. Mowbray needs to follow suit - choose his best XI and let them go out and play football.

On second thoughts, you're right.

Still doesn't exempt Mowbray from criticism though; by common consent the starting XI at the Hawthorns was bizarre, and we continue to draw games we could have won - yesterday being another example. Some of his signings and tactics / substitutions / lineup tinkering are baffling too. Others would disagree but footie fans love to argue - it's one of the things that make the game so great. Bit unfair comparing Mowbray with Coyle - even Chaddy knows more about the game than Coyle

Sheff Utd made us look downright poor while our famed team spirit evaporated at Swansea and Bristol. We're a long way from being the "best side in the league"

Agree with this. Too many draws and victories more often than not nail-biting and rarely comfortable. In essence, we let in too many goals and don't score enough. Mowbray likes his teams to play good football but is essentially a cautious manager who would rather try to protect a lead than go for the kill.

Broke my nose years ago playing footie when I got a kick in the face. Completed the 90 mins. Got home, looked in the mirror, wrapped my hankerchief around my nose and bent it back into shape. Ached a bit for a few days but I played the following Saturday. I expect Raya to do the same.

Baggies fans in despair at the moment. They think Moore doesn't know how to stop the goals going in (a la Mowbray) and think we'll beat them easily. It's all set up for a 4-0 tonking. To the Albion

Why would anyone pick Brereton in preference to Graham ?
