and, IMO, therein lies a huge problem. Metaphorically, a little boy in a man's world.

Leo hasn't grown into it and now doubt he will after half a dozen games or so. Even worse than John Butcher on crosses and that's saying something. Poor buy at almost £1million.

Next goal huge. Rovers score then we'll romp it. Norwich get an early one and owt can happen. Think we have a goalie problem. Pears not good enough, Leo not growing into it - not inspiring confidence, yet.

Super, super stuff. A bit early but very worthy of a nice red!

We really are stretched now. We need to try and off load Gallagher in January. Relatively, a big earner who goes missing injured for long periods. Certainly should be no new contract on the table for him. Without our talisman Szmodics, difficult to see where our zip and fizz will come from. Huge chance for Leonard to nail down a place. Has very good movement and gets in the right places at the right time - a couple of goals could see him really take off. Norwich in poor form and pressure mounting on Wagner..........Rovers come to 'town' and we know what happens next! Think those travelling to that lovely part of the UK (it's a horrible journey) will do so more in hope than expectation. Sadly, I can only see this going one way. Norwich to win by 3 or 4 goals to 1.

Really fear for us tomorrow. Pochettino will see this as an opportunity for his team to score some goals, win convincingly, boost confidence and ease some pressure on himself. No surprise he's fielding a strong team. Our threadbare squad is now beyond breaking point and you can only look at fixtures against Norwich and Preston with a deep sense of foreboding. We are in the mire and it would be foolish to pretend otherwise

If you are quick, you can still get evens on a Rovers' win - great opportunity to get that Christmas bonus up and running.

He might genuinely be a late developer. Sadly, my blood runs cold when I hear 'late developer' after Steve Kean's description of 'that tackle' Myles Anderson. I think my cynicism can be forgiven!

Keep changes, positional or otherwise, to a minimum. We have a bit of momentum and Hill, Brittain and JRC are excelling - would be madness to shift those three just to cover for Hyam (Wharton did well when he came on, so let's see if he sinks or swims - we are playing Swansea at home not Man City!). Result not in doubt - Rovers by two clear goals to keep marching on.

Your words are too kind Jim - horrible down there and I very much doubt I'll watch Rovers at Millwall again. However, I think your endeavours will be rewarded and I can't see anything other than a Rovers' win. As per my comments before the Cardiff match, four big differences and plusses for me, Leo, Hill, Brittain in that advanced role and Tronstad. Add JRC and Siggy into the mix and suddenly we look a much more likely proposition. Rovers by 2 or 3 goals to 1. Enjoy and safe travels.

Would he feck! He'd have bounced up off the floor, arms outstretched looking to blame anyone but himself - just like he usually does when he concedes Seen enough already to see why Leo has a full Swedish cap whilst Pears, IMO, will piss around in the lower leagues for ever and a day

Home banker - Rovers in a canter by 2 or 3 clear goals. We need to string a few wins together in order to be threatening the top 6 by Christmas. Injuries clearing up so some good options. Four recent big plusses for us: Leo in goal portrays calmness and assurance - anyone still pining for Pears really does need to give their head a wobble. Very much like Hill at rb - we look much more solid and can see him weighing in with a handful of goals with that shot he has in his locker. Been advocating Brittain as rwb for weeks - think he's going to be some player there for us. Now that Tronstad is up to speed, looks very good in that holding role and would now like to see Wharton pushed a bit further forward where his vision and passing can really hurt the opposition.. Onwards and upwards and upwards!

Moran and Brittain benched - unbelievable.

We desperately need a win today. Sadly, I think an Ainsworth inspired QPR will break that horrible run of form they are having a Loftus Road. If we lose an early goal then I fear for us. This game could be season defining. Hill MUST play, Dolan MUST NOT (though I fear he will). Whatever happens, hope Leo has a commanding and assured game so he claims that number 1 spot from the terrible goals and points costing Pears.

So sorry to hear that. Sadly, I suffered something very similar. It's horrible. You just have to try and stay strong for your mum. My kids were a wonderful help and 'distraction'. You will get through and there will be better days ahead. Take care.

It has. Think he's very much yesterday's man. Wouldn't want him back despite the super job he did for us.

Of the new signings tonight: Leo - thought he looked calm and composed. Made one cracking save with a touch on to the bar. Just hope he's going to catch a bit more rather than an inclination to punch. Based on tonight, looks a better prospect than Pears Hill - good performance. Gave us a bit more solidarity. Pity he's not ours. Moran - we know the lad's got a bit of quality, again, pity he's not ours Tronstad - a bit better than previous showings. Jury still out. Siggy - we know he can play a bit but really should have squared that great opportunity and result could have been so different. Poor decision making there. Telalovic - might set Chorley alight, enough said.

'Play well' and lose! What the feck happens when we are poor!?!? No gloss, we are deep in sh1te - wake up and smell the coffee.

So feckin predictable.

Please give me 6 numbers for Saturday's lottery!

Think we know what's going to happen next. Not happy with Leo's inclination to punch everything.

Loss of control since Wharton went off.

Think right decision to rule 'goal' out. As soon as happened I thought 'foul'.

Coventry look a poor side and there for the taking. We've done okay but we don't look threatening. Simply have to win games like this otherwise we are fecked.

As I posted Chaddy, in all professions and vocations there are those who are poor at their job, those who are average at their job and those who excel in their job. Most roles in life include a degree of subjective judgement and those who excel in their jobs get most of those judgement calls right. I am sure messrs Proctor and Dalton perform their roles to the best of their ability but that does not mean they make all the right subjective judgements. I am sure Owen Coyle performed his role as Rovers' manager to the best of his ability but, IMO, he was found sadly wanting. Just because an individual holds a certain position, it does not mean they excel at their job nor does it mean they are infallible in their judgement and decision making - IMO, our CEO, Waggott is a prime example.
