Erm, he is already established in one of them...

What 2 goals and 2 assists or whatever from the wing is established?

You are viewing him from a low base.  Like, he's not the completely useless player he was last season.  He's marginally better but I expect he will be worthless by the end of his contract unless something dramatic happens

Nope. He is regularly selected to play by the manager, is established.

On that basis of your argument Jason Lowe and Adam Henley were established premier League players.........

Not arguing with you, simply refuting your initial statement that Breretor would struggle to get into any of the top 15 Championship teams, which is clearly bunkum. Don't hide down a rabbit hole with JLowe and Henley!

i hope tony does`nt shoehorn bennett into the squad at the expense of dolan or anyone else who`s played well in the last month,thank **** that evans played u23 last night or he`d likely be there as well,giving tony to much choice selection wise is akin to letting the kids loose on the pick and mix,in the end someone is going to end up sick!!!!!!!

Aye, feck 'pick n mix' - let's go for SMASH AND GRAB, like we were doing earlier in the season.

[Blue blood]

Huge test today of our mental fortitude and bottle. Winnable but not easy, promotion teams get results in these kind of games. Will our lot? I'm not sure. 

Also it's a tad worrying I am more relaxed with two loan kids in the defence than Ayala and Williams...

If Douglas doesn't play it might give Tony an opportunity to play his shiny new centre half from city and shove left footed Branthwaite out to left back. I'm not for one minute saying I want this to happen though.

Don't give Tombola T any Ideas.

I’m interested to see Elliott today. Overall, his work on the pitch has been excellent, but he’s calmed down somewhat of late. He will eventually go off on somebody.

in his defence i don`t think our pitch has helped him at all,he`s a ball player and at the moment ewood is`nt suited for passing it quick and incisively

I genuinely don't agree, few assists and 1 or 2 goals, but I genuinely think he'd struggle to get into any of the top 15 teams in the championship.

Mmmm?  Stat's are not everything.  I enjoyed watching BB until his injury.  He brought a lot more to the team than stats.  Holding up the bsllc tracking back, excellent workrate and ball skills to worry defenders.  Is it coincidental the quality of our performances dipped when he was out?

Isn’t everyone completely worthless by the end of their contract?

No, it just goes into bigger wages and/or signing fee.  My view is that Brereton, if this continues will slip down the leagues

This won't be an easy game at all. Not see them play much this season but I don't expect them to just sit back, that could leave some space in behind for Arma. 

1-1 

[Mercer]

Can see no further than a Rovers' win.

We have some momentum and confidence should be soaring with 10 points out of our last 12.

Think only Mowbray can defeat us today - more players at his disposal so big risk is selection of his favourites and/or square pegs in round holes syndrome.

Unless he makes a dog breakfast of his team selection, will be going big on Rovers' win at almost 3/2 - fill yer boots.

I think QPR are a bit like us. It depends on which QPR team turns up on the day.

I hope Mercer hasn't put a jinx on it all.

Bell, shite. Happy enough other than that is

[Tormund]

Surely Gallagher better coming off the bench. 

[G Somerset Rover]

Happy to be proved wrong but Gally is a decent option off the bench - 9 times out of 10 he is dog sh*te when used from the off. 

Big game today - COYB.

Rubbish if he was available on a free there would be a host of championship clubs after him.

[simongarnerisgod]

fair play to tony for keeping basically the same formation,unbelievably it looks like gallagher is up front with armstrong,trybull looks to have cooked his goose though

[AdamRochina]

Gallagher on the wing when we have Dolan...my optimistic mindset has quickly vanished
