Brereton will not be going anywhere at the end of the season. Villareal will not be buying him no premier league club will

It’s all agreed. I am willing to bet however that he’ll be bombed out on loan, or permanently, within a season there.

Other teams can commit more players knowing we're less likely to score than most, thanks to our dozy bunch of "strikers" if you can call them that.

How can Leonard not make the bench? Yes he could be another Nuttall, but he knows where the net is. Brereton, Gally and Vale are all f*cking pitiful. It’s worth a shot following yet another failed transfer window.

gallagher standing still instead of anticipating the ball😒

[jim mk2]

Milwall and Luton in top 6 ....... and some say we're doing well just to be in the championship

[roverandout]

Gallagher is f*cking shit

Did I just witness Szmodics pass to Gallagher in their box, and relatively unchallenged he passed it backwards out of the box, right in front of their goal?

that was gallagher standing still instead of trying to drag the defender out of the way,smzodics has nowhere to go or pass to

[roverandout]

I think he was referring to Gallagher passing it out the box

[chaddyrovers]

Mark Atkins picks Lewis Travis as his man of the match. Says it was good performance. 

Full time. 1 -1. Good point away from home at Watford. 

well done to everyone who travelled down there. 

[BankEnd Rover]

A good result in the grand scheme of things. However that midfield is so so worrying…

[Bethnal]

Trav back at it. Good to see.

Gally’s days must be numbered.

Brereton is naive if he thinks he's going there to play. There's a reason they wouldn't pay a fair fee and waited for him to be free. Players should be wiser to other clubs exploiting their contract situations, but he'll think of the short-term and the money instead.

Would of taken a draw before the game, but after leading for so long and playing ok in the first half, that second half was a complete disappointment 

Decent away point though..West brom next oh dear 

[neophox]

Great performance!!

[oldjamfan1]

In isolation a decent point: the draw at home to bottom of the league Wigan is what makes it a poor week.

Nathan tella is lightyears better than anything we have in midfield 

I haven't followed the match so no comment on how we've played but that first eleven might be one of the slowest, on average, that we've had for some time. Aside from Dolan , Thomas and, maybe, Brereton, there's no pace out there at all. The back four of JRC, Carter, Wharton and Pickering has some ability on the ball but little pace. But, we've got a draw against a highly rated team, so fair enough to the team.

Tony Mowbray's Sunderland above us in the table as it stands.

Tony Mowbray walked into a better squad than the shambles that bastard left behind.

Called it tbf 👍

[Exiled in Toronto Mk2]

Excellent point in the end. Played much better when the subs came on, all of who did very well. We can’t keep playing with ten by starting Brereton though.

[neophox]

Seems were getting back to form hopefully a good game at WBA now.

[simongarnerisgod]

fair point i suppose,but horrible watch,you have to be some dedicated fan to follow rovers away,i had enough after going to  3 games!!!!!!!!
