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

...... cos he ain't a striker

Graham can only play 60 mins at most; Armstrong and Samuel are injured; Nuttall is poor and Brereton plays for Nottm Forest last time I looked. We need 2 strikers, not another midfield player who is likely to sit on the bench

Multitude of midfield players when we don;t have many striker options I would say is very questionable

All the more need for at least one more striker to come in and in adding an unnecessary midfielder to the payroll puts another question mark over the Reed signing.

What is the point in not signing him? They all play midfield plus you're missing the point that Mowbray has promisied him regular football when we already have 4 or more playing in his position who are playing well and don't deserve to be dropped. We need a centre half and a centre forward more than another midfield player. The lad made his debut at 18 but is now 23 and has failed to nail down a place anywhere. Are we just collecting "promising young players" in the hope that one might come off? Looks like another bench warmer to me.
