The referee had a clear view. Why didn’t he give it?

He doesn’t “learn” though. He misses far too many. Last night he didn’t even hit the target. I was right behind the goal. It was a bad miss, worse than Siggi, and should have been a goal

Not a bad night, huge gulf in class, skill and strength but Rovers gave a good account of themselves. Two silly, soft goals given away and Leonard and Siggurdson should have scored but they are the differences that big money buys. The Rovers support was excellent as always A few observations Harry Pickering will have nightmares about Raheem Sterling. I’ve not seen a player given the run around like that for a long time. Otherwise the Rovers defence played well, Brittains gaffe for the 2nd notwithstanding We need another goalkeeper. The lad inspires no confidence whatsoever and he’s going to cost us alot of points this season. I didn’t understand the subs. Garret looked out of his depth so why did he stay on? Ennis is embarrassingly awful and one of those players you wonder how he became a pro. The standout for me was the difference kn physicality between the teams. Chelsea were big and strong and some of our lot are like schoolboys in comparison

Balmy evening in Landan tahn. Looking forward to the game

Rovers can forget about the league this season - we're not good or strong enough to challenge the top 10. The League Cup and FA Cups however are the chance for a bit of glory and a chance to provide excitement for the fans for the season ahead. A win at Chelsea might even give the players a boost in the league too I don't agree with Tomasson. We should go strong as possible tomorrow night and he should pick his best XI. If he picks a "weakened" team and we get turned over Tomasson will have 3,000 very annoyed away fans and in the current parlous state of the club Rovers need don't need that

Our group of 4 are going more in hope than expectation. Although the odds are against Rovers and Chelsea are likely to win we will be happy if the team puts up a very good performance that doesn't let the club or the supporters down. It's also important that we do not hand Chelsea any "easy" goals through silly mistakes or defensive errors. If Chelsea beat us, I hope it's on merit, not us handing them victory on a plate.

It’s not unusual for one or two players to be out of form but what is unusual is for the whole team to be failing with the bat and what’s more failing in every single game. There’s probably a combination of reasons for the individual and collective failures but something obviously ihas gone seriously wrong. Buttler and Mott need to provide a convincing explanation in the inquest to come and even they should probably be sacked

No. Only impecunious clubs that have run out of options A 23-year old should have 50-100 league games under his belt and a striker would have at least 10 goals. A very good one would 20-30. Let's face it: Telelvioc (sp?) was a desperate signing in a desperate window by a desperate management of a desperate club.

Do you still think this Rovers team is strong after today's pathetic, ineffectual performance - and not for the first time this season? This is a poorish team with so many glaring weaknesses and today confirmed my belief we will end the season nearer the bottom of the table than the top.

Creating a false argument by misquoting isn't clever It's also normal to quote a member in a discussion - how am I to know you replied? I'll leave it there

I said I don’t know very much - which isn’t nowt - and I said with our weak team we could be near the bottom, not at the bottom. Please stop making things up.

Which has nowt to do with "overestimating the players playing elsewhere".

Maybe if you didn't conflate 2 issues you would understand

You said: "overestimating the players playing elsewhere" I don't know very much about other teams' players, so I couldn't possibly comment And good players don't necessarily make a good team ergo, your comment is not relevant

Who said anything about "overestimating the players playing elsewhere"? That was made up. It's true there's some very ordinary teams in the Championship but it's still a weak Rovers side even compared to those of the recent past. It's a tribute I think to Tomasson that he's keeping our heads above water with the very limited squad at his disposal. Anyway, losing Hyam for some time is a setback we could have done without and I agree S Wharton should be given another chance in his place. He needs to settle down, cut out the silly errors that blighted him last season and get back to something like the form of 18 months or so ago My scoreline prediction for the Millwall game was unusually for me spot-on so maybe I'm back on form too, and I'll go for the same result this time Rovers 2 Swansea 1

That's such a weak team it's hard to understand why we're not struggling near the bottom. Losing Hyam is a blow without a doubt when we're so short on quality and numbers. Scott Wharton had a good second half at Millwall but has been a liability for a long time. I wouldn't move Hill - he's been excellent at fullback since he arrived

Buttler can say what he likes but he should be relieved of his duties, as the saying goes. He's turned wine into water, made England a laughing stock. Few expected England to retain the trophy in India but this capitulation is embarrassing. Mott (whoever he is) can walk the plank too

England continuing to put up a magnificent defence of their World Cup trophy I see. Send 'em home

He played like a big girl's blouse at Millwall. He did nothing right

He had to deal with a few shots and crosses and always punched well to be fair but a better goalkeeper would have caught many of them. Perhaps it's the way they're coached these days, or maybe modern footballs are harder to catch and the ball flies faster than in the past, but always punching the ball is high risk. Only he knows what he was doing for the Millwall goal

My first proper viewing of this player last night and I couldn't believe how poor he was.

The lad looks nervous (understandably probably as he's new) and punches the ball far too much as a result, but he also lacks physical presence and will struggle against some of the big forwards in the Championship. I understand he's a work in progress and needs time to develop but he's going to cost us points in the same way Pears does/did.

A few thoughts from Cold Blow Lane. It was a poor game overall, low quality apart from Brittain’s brilliant goal. Not sure we deserved it to be honest, Millwall should have scored when they pressed us back in the second half Rovers are a strange team, a reasonably solid defence and one or two decent midfielders but desperately weak in attack. Relying on midfield players and defenders to score goals over the course of a long hard season isn’t sustainable Of the players I thought Hill and Carter were excellent throughout and Dolan (surprisingly), Tronstad, and Szmodics had good games. Sigursson (sp?) was bloody awful - does he always play left wing? - and in my playing days I’d hate to have that goalkeeper behind me. Does he have to punch every ball? All in all the win was welcome but walking away from the ground the overriding feeling was one of frustration because we’re clearly not that good and don’t have the quality or numbers to make a promotion push. The better teams will slaughter us - Leicester already have

Blimey I didn’t really expect to get it right

Yep, on the way home. Unconvincing victory but I’ll take it
