I think Armstrong is yet another example of a player being unsuited to the way we play when he's plonked up top i feel there's more to be squeezed out of him up front just not that way. Under this manager though he offers more on the left and there is only Graham who actually suits the way we play.

Something will have to change sooner or later though.

Somehow I don’t think it will be Mowbray. Unless he’s been told that there is an expectation of top 6 after all the recent investment. Even though I think they are clueless they can’t be happy with funding 15th placed finishes every season.

This young side is screaming out for a manager with some faith in them.

A new Souness - although I’ve no idea who that is. Otherwise Hughes would be my preference.

[Blue blood]

Thing Hughes may be past his sell by date now with more losses than successes of late, grateful as I am for the brilliant job he did for us. 

That said he did best with teams with promise and potential but not big clubs or expectations, like us and Fulham in the Prem.

I think you’ll be eating humble pie!

Mowbray been talking about their strength from set pieces a lot in the build up to this (understandably). Can see him playing Tosin for this one as a result - God knows who he’ll drop him for though.

Called this yesterday. Loves a tinker does our Tony. Why on earth drop Travis?

Expecting Buckley to start today after the West Brom performance.

I did say....

[Exiled_Rover]

Is he playing Lenihan in midfield? The City lad at RB and Bennett at RW? 3 at the back? 

 

[BankEnd Rover]

Armstrong..meh. 

[OldEwoodBlue]

oh dear

hoof to Arma ?

might not work that Tony.

[Doogs]

Hope we have a shot at goals today..

[AdamRochina]

What formation are we playing with that lineup? Has to be Armstrong through the middle?  Home to Millwall is a must win for me and I would of played Graham and rothwell but we will see how this goes  could be a masterstroke 

[JBiz]

Looks like a 4231 / 532 to me.

Tosin at RB, Bennett out wide, Buckley/Johnson sitting in midfield, Dack ten, Downing out wide.

Then to make 532, Tosin comes narrow, Bennett becomes WB, Dack/AA upfront with a midfield of Johnson, Downing (left) and Buckley (right)

I can't begin to work out how we are going to line up today.

Team news: Understand it's three at the back for #Rovers, but what happens ahead of that could well be pretty fluid. First league start for John Buckley.

[DE.]

Wtf. 

[TruRover]

Would of had travis over Johnson and Rothwell over downing but can see the thinking with the team. 3 cbs to deal with Ariel threat from millwall and clearly looking to keep it on the ground when attacking them. Armstrong really needs to step up today. Excited to see Buckley, reckon him and travis could be a really exciting long term midfield partnership.

[davulsukur]

Travis on the bench??

[Stuart]

Well, I was wrong about Buckley but Travis benched??

[K-Hod]

I really wish Rothwell would start instead of Armstrong.

I genuinely feel exasperated when the obvious is missed like this

Well done on still finding a problem pre match!

[1864roverite]

I do not understand this team and the formation he is hoping to play let’s hope it works but I am not confident today in seeing that team sheet 

[Stuart]

Mowbray Tombola strikes again!

[Scotland1]

No Travis! Buckley playing again! WTF

must be the smallest and weakest team bar lenihan and tosin. We expecting a sudden rush of tiki taka.

2-0 millwall
