Called man- management, JDT knows he’s one of the few senior pros left (especially in forward positions).

Needs him to feel like he’s the dog’s bollocks, regardless of he is or not.

Exactly, do people expect him to say "well he's not much of a striker but it's not like we have many options".

JDT knows full well Gallagher isn't much good as a striker, but he'll do everything he can to get maximum out of him whilst he's here.

Is this correct?

[rovers11]

Good starting 11 and Rotherham have a few injuries so we have a good chance of winning this one. 

[OsloRover]

Highlights: Leonard keeping his place, Wharton replacing Tronstad, new keeper on the bench

[roverandout]

Wheres the Australian lad

[WacoRover]

I like our chances, but this game & place are like kryptonite to us. 
I still say we win this. 

[OsloRover]

Yeah, disappointing for Gilsenan

Born In Australia to Irish parents.Involved with the Republic of Ireland now.

Harsh he didn't make the bench today 

[AllRoverAsia]

He took a knock or two against Walsall.

Anyway keeping Gilsean out of the limelight in what's left of the window is ok, we don't want bids coming in, not with these owners and Board who would sell their Granny for sixpence.

As a traditionalist I fully understand that mate but in this commercially driven world we live in money talks.

My granddaughter had her home kit ready for today as I really thought (perhaps naively) that we would be in it today. She is now wearing yellow but isn't happy because it's the only one she has without a name or number on it 😂😂.

Women, eh?! 😉😅😂🤣

Adam thrown into the rough and tumble of Rotherham away. I like JDT's thinking here- just hope he doesn't get injured and really has learnt enough about looking after himself..

No where Else than Rovers Tv to Watch the game?

In typical anodyne BBC way!

[joey_big_nose]

I like our bench too. I cant really say Im looking at the eighteen and wishing BBD and Dack were in it. Maybe naive, but think we have a better balanced team without them.

[chaddyrovers]

Interesting that JDT has picked by Adam Wharton instead of Tronstad. 

Rovers team and bench is solid and good quality.

what did they say?

Thought Ennis would get the nod upfront as I think it will be a bit of a scrap. Good confidence boost to Leonard. Bit worried we're a bit lightweight against a scrappy Rotheram side. Hopefully we can get the football flowing early.

He won't face two bigger, more athletic CBs than the WBA two. He'll be fine.

Not much, @chaddyrovers, to be honest. And certainly nothing we haven't already said.

It was a repeat of the outlines of a "He said; then He said"; but, like I said in my second post, "It was all very anodyne."
