Ya,Johnson should have started. What is wrong with Rothwell? Where is the lad from last season 

Still here; one good game in 10 is about his lot.

Our problem with Travis is because nobody else is doing the dirty work. This was 100% a game for Johnson. 
 

We need a miracle in the second half but I just don’t see it happening. 

Johnson got a lot of stick a while back (perhaps deservedly so) but he is a natural centre mid, a truly vital position on the pitch, especially if we are having 2 holding mids.

Downing is a decent player but has never been a centre mid, neither is Rothwell.

[Scotland1]

Luck apt them trudge of the pitch. If I was Benno I’d be ranting at a few before we even got inside.

Derby had a tough match in the FA Cup only a few days ago yet they seem less tired and more motivated than us.

Why ?????

I think a lot of the same players aren't starting. A few young lads in. Johnson, an ex Derby legend(almost) would have bossed them. Bad choice.

This was three points there for the taking but once again the team is set-up wrong. 

What is the formation. Apart from Bell at left wing back and Walton in goal, who is playing where?

Three or four times Rovers played routine passes to nobody because the players had no clue where their team mates were. 

This is another one on Mowbray, not the players.

Make it 20 now

Mowbray had a long chat with his pensions adviser last night. Promotion puts his pot at risk but another 2 seasons in the championship should be enough

[Dolly blue]

So glad I couldn’t make it today ....sorry for the travelling fans who deserve better....when will I ever learn...I even dared to hope ...but...it’s the hope that kills you.....said it time and time and time again....going nowhere with Mowbray and his crew of motley “ coaches “ ....no more words

How many chances to progress this season and they haven't taken It?

Honestly, I think he's flattered to deceive more often than not. Fans like him because he runs at defenders but overall I think he's been a bit of a let down, one purple patch last season aside.

No changes at the break.

He has to be on the wind up.

Truth be told the only reason we're even in contention for the top 6 is because the quality in this division is appallingly bad. Preston have lost 4 of their last 5 and are 6th ffs. It's an absolute circus and we are as much part of the clown act as anybody else unfortunately. 

[Bigdoggsteel]

Need the next goal. 

I'm still thinking 2-2...

The thing is, we all knew this before the match. Yet he was picked and made captain. And now here we are again. He has learned nothing this season.

Absolutely.  

A disjointed mess again today.
