Dolan off is a bummer as I thought he was good today.. Rothwell invisible he should of been subbed 

Dolan had a mixed game for me, and I'm a huge fan. But what this does mean is Gally is our only pace up top, in a side reliant on counter attacking...

Bit of a sneaky one that Gav. He is playing through the middle now.

He always was, as Exiled told you in the first half…..

Right now, I'd take a draw here. I certainly wouldn't have before kickoff.

I don’t think we can afford it with Luton winning and Sheff Utd winning earlier. 4th from bottom, we need to be getting the 3 points. Coventry away next which will be far harder (I know the championship doesn’t work like this!).

Hedges on the right Giles on the left

He's changed formation to 4-2-3-1. Doesn't Fancy Dack as a False 9, apparently.

Sir Bradley, our ownly hope

Oh I totally agree. But since I suspect we are about to walk away with as many points as the UK gets from most countries at the Eurovision, I'd take a point.

You have Giles playing in a more advanced position now.

No he wasn't. He was practically sat in the stand.

[RevidgeBlue]

End of any play off hopes if we don't win today I'd have thought.

For once I think we agree.

He isn't as rapid as Dolan, Khadra or Gally I wouldn't say. He's also not an attacker, whether we stick him there or not.

Must need to get my eyes checked, because I swear that is a load of tripe

Looking at the ‘live table’ Sheff Utd, QPR, Boro and Forest, will all go above us - in all likelihood - given games in hand (even with some wiggle room in a couple of cases should they slip up in one match). We’ll be 9th should that be the case.

Van Hecke is our best defender and midfielder today.

He's faster than Gallagher and Dolan. I'd argue he's quicker than Khadra too, but it'd be a close run race.

Honestly he's the best loanee of the Mowbray era.

As I’ve been saying for weeks and weeks which many people haven’t been able to grasp.

[deanives]

I actually think the referee has been good today, he's been letting the game flow

[riverholmes]

Why have Rankin-Costello and Brown on the bench when you have no intention to bring then on at RWB?

Mowbray's decision-making defies logic. And, yet, in spite of him, we could still sneak a winner.

Don't remotely agree with any of that so we will just leave it there.

[Tugay-is-God]

How heavy legged do we look, jeez

[chaddyrovers]

Dack and Gallagher miss golden chances there

[OldEwoodBlue]

Ha Gally just rubbish

[Exiled_Rover]

Miss of the season by Gallagher.
