Another Newcastle goal here be very disheartening for Bristol. 

Thank god they got it back to a draw at least..

Thats 2 away games they have blown a good lead

[Bigdoggsteel]

I am actually kind of happy with a draw in the Wigan and Forest game. Keeps forest in it. The more teams involved in the relegation scrap,the better. 

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Newcastle ends 2-2.....accumulators crashing everywhere.

15 cup finals becomes 14.

Could have gone much better this weekend but could have gone worse at the end.

With a new manager you could say staying the same isn't the worst result, all teams draw apart from Wolves who may start worrying.

[Athlete]

it's as you were prior to the weekend us wigan Bristol City Burton Forest all get a point.........the must win game is next Saturday without a doubt

If wolves keep going the way we are,we could pass them by beating them. Now wouldn't that be interesting

Lambert seems to be doing the same as he did last year. Promising start then unable to keep the momentum going and a miserable second half of season.

How has Duffy not scored there?

Didn't see it but assuming a towering header at a set-piece that flew over the bar?!

No, it should have been a easy tap in but somehow he managed to clear it.

He has a nasty habit of knocking it nearer his team's goal than the opponents...

You got me. He cleared it off his own line.

Thought Rovers have a new head coach and not a new manager Tom.

In a shocking turn of events it turns out Ben Marshall is a bit of a prick as videos of him emerge lashed up in a Sheffield club singing for them to sign him up.

Journo saying it was taken in January whilst he was at Rovers but some guy saying he took the videos just last night.

What's shocking about a modern day footballer only having loyalty to himself ?

He learnt loyalty at leicester

[Fraserkirky]

He looks like he has contributed one game so far. Man some of these players just fall of the face of planet when they leave Rovers. NZonzi is about the only exception.

Take note Connor

[Tom]

Efe Ambrose gone back to Celtic and won't be signing.

I'm so confused am I meant to be angry or not? It shows how incompetent we were but at the same time he's absolutely rubbish.

By the way Giles Barnes got another move in the MLS so he's not sat waiting on Owen's call!

[AllRoverAsia]

Coyle wanted Ambrose but Senior did not.

I recall that Senior said it was a done deal and the work permit/visa a formality. A lie to kid Coyle and the fans and waste time. Senior knew Coyle was going.

The person I feel sorry for is Ambrose and how we messed him around.

[Bigdoggsteel]

Does this mean we still have a loan slot available? Or is that window closed now?

The loan window doesn't exist any more. It was actually an "emergency loan window" originally for things like goalkeepers to cover injury but got abused so they stopped it. Doesn't help that our strategy involves loans and frees. Although our of contract players are still fair game if we can be bothered / afford to employ any.

A loan spot wasted so. Although I read Ward and Hoban are togging out for the U23s tonight. Could have them back in a couple of weeks. I'm assuming the fact that Hoban has stick around means he is hoping to play a part.

Looks like Marshall is severely unfit according to Wolves fans hence the lack of games - http://www.molineuxmix.co.uk/index.php?threads/ben-marshall.193433/page-34

No surprise when Coyle had them playing table tennis, dunkindoughnuts on the menu with a Friday big mac.
