Posted earlier - thought McLaughlin was diabolical here. Yes, poor header from O'Riordan but McLaughlin made no effort to close down the Norwich player and even worse then moved away (to one side showing more of the goal) from the Norwich player and turned his back. Absolutely pathetic. A League 1 player at best.

Morishita and Baradji seriously over-hyped signings - I have little doubt Jergensen will fall into the same category. Agree - watched Rowett on pre match Sky EPL - spoke well and seems pragmatic.

Just seen his post match interview. Dour and totally uninspiring. This can't go on any longer.

McLoughin didn't close down and then turned his back on the shot.

Diabolical defending from McLaughin.

Very poorfrom both teams. Think Norwich losing the lad in the warm-up hasn't helped and neither will the loss of their big man Gut feel we will sneak this.

Just gone on Rovers' win at 3/1.

Boring and uneventful. Can't see us losing this but can't see us scoring a goal. Draw written all over this game.

Totally underwhelmed with Alexander. A managerial journeyman My God, how far has our club fallen. Bereft of hope, ambition and inspiration. Alexander's teams not renowned for decent football. If he's appointed that's me finished with Rovers. It will end in tears, yet again.

Herald Goulon!

TBH, don't think too many us are going to be excited by the appointment. New guy has to be better than Ismael but have virtually zero confidence in Pasha, Gestede and Owen getting it right. Any of Coleman, Martin, Karanka and Mowbray appointed then that's me totally finished with Rovers. Think Challinor is the dark horse - got him at 20/1 and now down to 6/1.

Spot on. Too many winning positions ending as draws and too many 'drawing' positions ending as losses. Relegated on goal difference (think it was only 1 or 2 goals difference) was devastating given the points we 'threw away' under Mowbray. Mulgrew, Conway and Graham - who in today's team can come remotely close to the quality those three had.

Remember bumping into Mark Bowen when we were both filling our cars at the petrol station on the A59 just days before the Burnley cup clash. I asked him if Savage's diet was raw meat that week, we had a chuckle and I wished him and the team well.

Cannot believe Johnson has chosen that team. De Neve to start !?!? Think Gestede now also playing football manager. The club is now getting what it deserves. The fans DO NOT DESERVE THIS NONSENSE.

Understand the sentiment and yes we've fallen far but our history and what we can offer in terms of structural set-up and potential far outweighs Stockport. Do you think Alex Neil would stay at Millwall if offered West Ham?

Name I heard tonight - heard sufficient to stick a few quid on him. Agree, underwhelming but taken Stockport from National League to top 6 Division 1 in under 5 years (not dissimilar to Parkinson with Wrexham but without the big backing). Under contract but wouldn't break the bank in compensation. If the worse comes to the worse this season, we'd have a lower league 'specialist' at the helm. Understand he's under very serious consideration.

Watch Dave Challinor at 20/1 !

Rovers nailed on to win now. Will set off like a house on fire. Rovers winning at half time is 19/20 (full time 2/5, Owls 19/2 - shows you what the bookies think). Fill your boots!!!

Told Big Dunc offered the gig and then Broughton arrived and offer withdrawn.

On paper a home banker and a licence to print money. Owls lost their last 6 league games without scoring a goal. Their last point came against, you guessed it, Rovers on 29 December. The reality, any result possible here. Teams and strikers seem to enjoy ending barren runs against Rovers. Fail to win and it may well be over for us. Jerry Yates, and we could have done worse than to snare him, to deliver a knock out blow I fear.

A 'reverse premium' so St Pauli could get shut!?!? Think it will be buttons.

A certain Mr Kean also did on more than one occasion, hopping on a plane very soon after he was appointed if my memory serves me correctly.

Think position at WBA irretrievable. They look even more hopeless since Ramsay came in. Think only thing they can do hold up their hands, acknowledge they've got it wrong, sack Ramsay and appoint an experienced guy who can hit the ground running - Rowett until end of season.

I think Rovers are in the 'fortunate' position in that despite the shambles enveloping Ewood Park, there are other clubs with their own problems who might just save us from the drop. Sheffield Wednesday are gone WBA in freefall and they look even worse since Ramsay was appointed Oxford have appointed a manager who contrived to take Luton down - doesn't augur well for them Leicester face a substantial points deduction Think the third relegation place is between Rovers, Oxford and Leicester.

Firmly in the NO to Mowbray camp: Couldn't save us last time and he should have (arguably in an even bigger mess now with worse players) 9 to 10 years on, recent serious illness and abilities in decline (failed miserably at WBA second time around) Him and Venus too old school - desire and hunger or a chance to further top-up their pension pots!? Neither trust nor like the guy - at the helm when Waggott's plan to carve up Brockhall came to light and always moaned about his distance away from home and family life only to later rock-up at Brum then WBA! Could be Bailey doing his pal a favour and getting his name out there. We need a change of manager/head coach but for me, Mowbray is not the man; IMO, mainly in it for himself and you need to look beneath that 'Uncle Tony' persona he likes to portray.
