The highlights don't tell the full story, like when Porteous threw himself to the ground to get the free kick from a weak Gallagher challenge, after Brereton let him saunter past him with all the time in the world. Shouldn't have been a free kick.

There's a good argument that we would have been better off without him being there at all. Their lad heads over the bar - 0-1.

Brereton could have stopped it before it even started, but he chickened out and pretended it wasn't happening. As he did against Wigan in the second half several times. Just watched the highlights and it doesn't show how the free kick occured.

Pretty much what he's doing atm.

Brereton became Diaz.

Different circumstances. We aren't going to emulate last season when Brereton has already left. Also we weren't doing great last season at this time. Lest we forget.

I don't think Brereton will be effective anywhere on the pitch. From what I've seen in the last two games, he's avoiding a knock at any costs. He's not even being sneaky about it.

I blame him for todays goal, he only needed to nick the ball of Porteous but he literally let him walk past him because he didn't want to scratch his leg. That one moment of none commitment lost us the full 3 points imo.

I'd say a midfielder and a striker would make a big difference. Sorba has made a difference and that's just one man. He was missed when he went off.

So you were at a Burnley game, winning, and came to a Rovers site?

I agree with roverandout on this. He does stand there looking gormless. I'm convinced he forgets which team he's on.

And the first thing Davey Dingle does after a win is come to a Rovers site.

Before match. Expects a heavy loss. Post match. Moans about a draw. The life of a Rovers fan.

That's not entirely true, we do have chances and don't take them. And we are missing a number 9. But we are a terrible football team to watch, because we have some absolutely terrible footballers. Ending that game we had at least two passengers doing absolutely nothing at best, and at worst being a liability. You don't win football games with players like that. We wouldn't have conceded only for Brereton and Gallagher.

It was horrible to watch Brereton and then Gallagher. You've got Dack who is a quality footballer, then those two big dosile twonks.

He'll be on a decent contract, who will want him? Just a shocking player. Add to that Brereton sauntering around on his holidays and it's an amazing result.

It may have bounced off him but either way, the man is an absolute liability. What's he on, £12k a week? Job done Gally huh, don't put a shift in, your kitchen's paid for.

I wasn't blaming Szmodics. It was terrible from Gallagher. It's like he's not even trying. Does he smoke pot before/during the game? He's not on this planet.

Good point, but Brereton and Gallagher both need to go.

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?

He has to do some work at Sunderland.

He will, he's "doing a Rothwell."

It was a blatant dive, but Brereton could have stuck a leg out. It's like he's got the voice of Obi Wan Kenobi guiding him... "Don't break your fucking leg..." More likely his agent.

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.

I hope it's not gone unnoted that Brereton allowed Porteous to literally walk past him with the ball. I'm appalled.
