Yep. Utterly cowardly pre-meditated act on someone who was on the floor. He acted like those vile scumbags who kick someone in the head after they've already been knocked out. At least those goons have the 'excuse' of being pissed.

Did he do Mulgrew in the same match?

The context is he knew what he was doing. When WBA scored he ran over to the Rovers fans to goad them instead of running the opposite direction to celebrate with the rest of his teammates. 

Indeed he did. You can take the boy out of Burnley.............................

He was nasty in the Hawthorns match and that should serve as a massive incentive for some of our players to beat West Brom today. And if somebody could smash him in the process that would be a bonus.

Didn't he get sent off over Xmas ??

He did but it was rescinded on appeal. He was also accused (later exonerated) of rascist comments to a Brighton player and denied he did Raya on purpose.

Just sayin like..

Expecting Travis to start today. 

Hoping for Rothwell Dack and Palmer as the 3 just behind Brereton.

[Bbrovers2288]

My prediction is a solid enough start, maybe even opening the scoring before a collapse in another frustrating afternoon, 3-1 West Brom

Just wish we had an Andy Todd in our ranks to sort him out.

I would settle for having Andy Todd in our ranks !!!!

Killer Keely would put him into orbit.

Somehow, think this will end ten v ten again. Could be a dire 0-0.

The minimum today is to NOT collapse.

Incidentally, if anyone travels to Ewood via Green Lane, you need to avoid today. The bridge there has ‘done a Rovers’ and the road is closed.

After kneeling on his chest and choking him.

I can't see a 0-0

WBA score for fun, we concede too easily. I think the best we can expect is a score draw, 2-2

We need to win so Graham simply has to start over Brereton.

Not a chance of 0-0 Phillip! They score for fun and can’t defend and we...well can’t defend!

Good luck today boys. Rovers 3-0 Tiddly Om Pom Pom.

Beamish,Stonehouse and Bell (Goalscorers not a firm of solicitors)

All the best. 

Dirty Leeds.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

If we played as well as people thought we did in the first half at Sheffield I wouldn't be surprised to see a similar line up. However we may also have a completely different line up. It's never good when you don't know your best 11.

Extremely weak dropping Rothwell

[CD_93]

Nice to see Travis still out there and Grayson on the bench.

[Ewood Ace]

What has Armstrong done to earn a recall Rothwell and Palmer did well by all accounts on Saturday, yet Armstrong is straight back in. Tony certainly has his favourite. Also what does Lenihan have to do to get dropped.

Yawn. Back to the stale old tactics. Timid Tony strikes again.

Bloody Evans back in, no way Palmer should have lost his place on merit, at least Travis is playing but that is probably only on account of Smallwood's suspension.

Looking at that team just makes me realise how lucky we are to have the points we have. Fingers crossed for a WBA off day. 

[philipl]

Williams was awful at Sheffield United and Rothwell did give the ball way too much.

But Armstrong back? Unless he's had a brain infusion last night.

One of Tony's favourites.

[Gone to seed]

Ffs - hasn't he heard the old phrase, "if you keep doing the same things you are doing, you will keep getting the same results"?? I can't wait for the 70 minute signal for WBA to step up and Muller us.. if they do, I think Tony should fall on his sword..

He sure does have his favs 

[Stuart]

Smallwood suspended. Williams and Rodwell dropped.

Bell, Conway and young Joe Grayson in. Grayson presumably cover for cb and fb with.

Travis surviving the shake-up by starting but Mowbray proving to be the self-fulfilling prophecy by dropping Brereton and Rothwell. Presumably he doesn’t trust them or is rotating the squad again. Brereton‘s first day as a Rovers player and he’s back on the bench. Rothwell dropped to the bench too.

4-3-1-1 presumably and long punts up to Graham.

Going to be a tough watch today folks. 0-0 the  target, let’s hope he doesn’t miss.
