Another great day for Lancashire's batsmen while Somerset's tail wagged for far too long. Not looking good

Historically Mowbray's teams have always played that way. Fans of Celtic and West Brom will say the same. Attractive football but always likely to concede goals. He needs to change and become a more pragmatic manager. The win over Brentford showed the way.

Question for all current/former amateur/semi-pro players out there. What did you do when Saturday came round, and you were out of the team with a short-term injury ? Did you go and watch the team, even go in the dressing room before the game to offer support, because you were part of a club and were "all in it together" ? Or did you forget about the team and go and socialise with friends ?

We needed better defenders in the transfer window - and a new goalkeeper. We;ll get more defeats like this

Mowbray needs to have a rethink after today. This is a wake-up call that we are in a better division and sloppy, poor play will be punished.

4-1. Defence clearly a big problem....but then Mowbray;s teams have always leaked alot of goals.

I blame Dack. That social media pic put the players in a wrong frame of mind

Third division play gets punished by experienced team from higher division. Changes needed

is this a bad joke?

Do you know what behaving like a "professional" (athlete not social animal) means? Anyway back to the match. Come on Rovers

Best was finished as a top player at 26.

Dack's very privileged. He's young and very well paid. He'll be a multimillionaire by the time he's 30. It's not asking much to make sacrifices for a few years. If I were Mowbray I'd be telling him some home truths

This is silly. You weren't a "professional" footballer. - he is (or supposed to be). Professionals look after their body - which means a quiet social life and no alcohol.

Dack being seen in party mode with his friends while out injured sends the wrong message in my eyes. At least he should have had the sense to keep it quiet instead of posting this sort of stuff all over social media. He'll never make it to the very top if he doesn't take his job seriously.

Dack showing why he never made the grade at Charlton. Does he want to be a top flight footballer or not ?

I like Turkey - had many happy holidays there (love the food). But I wouldn't go again while Erdogan is in power.

There does seem to be good team spirit - but there probably would be if we had a team of 11 French players. Chelsea and a few other clubs have had teams without a single British player and a multitude of nationalities and have been very successful. How the players gell as a group is more important than nationality

Cliques form at any place of work. Nationality is irrelevant.

Turkey has become an international pariah with its economy and currency tanking at a rate of knots. The country is run by an autocrat who abuses human rights and locks up anyone who opposes him. Thousands of journalists and judges / lawyers have been thrown in jail because they dared to challenge him. Then there iis always the terrrorist threat. No one in the right mind would go to Turkey at the moment - even on holiday or a thick as mince footballer.

London gets at least 2 Tests every summer.. Manchester and Leeds are "up north". Same old story

Where in that quote does he say he's trying to sign more ?

Not sure why being British is relevant. Should we be looking to offload the 2 "foreigners" after March 2019?

The Guardian has a hit rate of 44 per cent, so close to 1 in 2 of their Rovers related transfer stories turn out to be correct. Considering the amount of speculative nonsense that appears on here you'd learn more by leaving this website and reading the Guardian's

I love ginger biscuits. Had one with my morning cuppa

Do you know what a proper centre forward/striker is, ie a player who can play with his back to goal and hold up the forward line ? We only have one - Danny Graham
