Have to say I thoroughly enjoyed the England match last night - and I wouldn't have said that with the first XI and many of the games under Gareth Southgate. The team were up for it from the kickoff and apart from 20 minutes in the second half and one or two chances, were too good for a very decent Greece team. Hall looks a player

Rock Your Baby - George McCrae

I hope it can be binned. But there's the realism with this team of what it is more likely to happen. Promotion ain't one of them

Ignore the league position, we're not pushing for promotion.... we're really not. This team is is not good enough to finish in the top 10 IMO. I look at today as a welcome 3 points in the season-long battle to stay in this division.

After some horrible results that’s a welcome and unexpected 3 points. It sort of makes up for the Watford game, which we didn’t deserve to lose. The team still has significant weaknesses that need addressing but that’s a big confidence boost today

There you go, goal made by Joe. After all the adverse comments

Johansson looked an excellent keeper for Rotherham in the game at Ewood last season so I'm not surprised he was outstanding tonight. He should have been a big target for the club in the summer

Back by (un)popular demand - the latest edition. This is a poor team in dire form that cannot score goals and is in freefall Can anyone see how we're going to avoid another relegation battle?

Rankin-Costello is strange. He blossomed under Tomasson and looked a potential Premier League player, yet seems to have gone backwards since. Injuries haven't helped of course Brittain had a good game and was one of our best players at Watford last week yet at times he can be a liability. The team's form is dire. Where's the next win (or goal) coming from?

I see Bournemouth & Boscombe Athletic are beating the champions, in front of a crowd of about 12,000. Brilliant management and ambition. But too difficult for us apparently

If Sigurdsson is the answer, I’m not sure what the question is. He gets better every time he doesn’t play with some fans but might as well give him a go, after nearly 6 hours without a goal the team can’t do any worse

Another day, another defeat, another abject performance And the realisation it's another season we have absolutely no hope of getting back to the Premier League The years go by and PL seems to a distant memory now. For many of us older supporters, it's obviously not going to happen in what's left of our lifetimes Fans were singing Jack Walker's name at Vicarage Road last week. Watford fans were rightly asking "who?" It's that long ago. The club's a shell of the one from those days. It's all so sad.

It was woeful at Watford last week too. The squad is lacking quality and the manager doesn't have much idea. This lot are unlikely to score in a month of Sundays. I think we'll be near the bottom by the new year

We're well and truly on the slide now. Time for the relegation thread?

Where are goals coming from in this team? None of the forwards look like scoring and the loss of Szmodics is really being felt now. Two new strikers needed in January - good ones

And there it is. The slow decline down the league continues

Were you at Watford on Saturday? Fans were laughing he was so bad. The problem is how do we get him off the books and who would take him?

Two more forwards please - good ones. Guere and the Japanese lad are not up to standard and the team struggles to score goals.

I feel sorry for this player. He is out of his depth at Championship level and does not have the skill or footballing nous to trouble even average defenders. Even his physical presence does not add up to much. He needs replacing in January

Interesting graphic but it doesn't tell the story that is unfolding in recent weeks of a team that is struggling to score goals and clearly not good enough to make the play-offs. That was not a top 6 team I was watching at Vicarage Road and we looked like a relegation side in the previous away game I saw at Coventry. The green line will be broken soon and then it will be a case of trying to stay away from the red one.

With the early kick-off Rovers should have stayed in a hotel the night before. If they travelled down by coach on the morning of the match it's a pretty poor show and not the ideal way to prepare for a match There's about 6 trains a day from and to Preston that stop at Watford Junction, which seems to me to be the most relaxing way for the players to travel.

Guere, Hirst, Telelovic and a host of other useless players and managers - they cannot be criticised and they’re all brilliant, until they’ve left the club and suddenly they’re not. Rinse and repeat

The loss of Szmodics is starting to show. There’s no one in the team with his goal scoring instinct, the ability to be in the right place at the right time, and the cool head and sure touch to finish clinically. He would surely have taken at least one of those chances yesterday and Rovers would not have lost the game The 2 new lads up front are no replacement for Szmodics, they are clearly struggling now and aren’t good enough in this division. Guhere quite frankly is an embarrassment and is among one of the worst players I’ve seen in a Rovers shirt. Fans were laughing at some of the things he did yesterday

On the way home after another Jim-the albatross inspired defeat. I should stay away That was tough. Watford offered little and defeat was undeserved. On the other hand, Hyam’s dreadful miss apart I never felt we looked like scoring. We will finish the season mid table I expect. There’s not enough quality in the team to get any higher. The 2 new lads up front are poor and scoring goals is going to be a struggle Brittain, cantwell, beck were our best players. The Watford number 8 was outstanding

Another poor effort by England. Yet again unable to knock over the tail. Pope is hopeless. Defeat looming.
