The squad largely picks itself, even if many on here disagree with some of the regular starters. Pears is starting to look a decent keeper, Pickering a good defensive full back, Travis and Tronstad an excellent central pairing, Cantwell looking good on the ball, Hedges, Baker and Dolan working hard for the team and we now see how Weimann can be be effectively used with fluid passing and movement. Injuries at centre half limit our options a tad, but Brittain, JRC and Beck give us some choices outwide. If we could just get Gueye, Ohashi or Siggy contributing, based on what we have seen to date, we could genuinely push for the play offs. One thing is for sure, there is no sign of squad unrest. The players all seem together and that alone is half the battle.

What are this players strengths? Hold up play? Flick ons? Back to goal? Dribbling? Shooting? Running with the ball? Set pieces? The channels? Winning free kicks? I've been saying since PNE away that he is very, very limited. His first touch is a pass to the opposition, his shooting / striking / timing of the ball amongst the worst I've ever seen upfront for Rovers. He runs like Bambi on ice, lacking coordination. We have all been banking on him being deadly with his head, but he's now flattened that thought process as well. I don't nornally criticise individual players, the Championship has it's detractors, but it's still a very high standard of professional football. I'd be tempted to see if he could make it as a centre half, but he'd have to toughen up even for that to work.

An away win! Three goals! Who would have thought? Well done to one and all. Chuffed for our travelling fans.

I didn't get carried away with our above average start. Some of which was fortuitous. I'm not getting carried away with our recent poor form. Some of which has been a tad unlucky. But we simply can't continue like this and if we dont change anything, then nothing will change. We have one of the worst forward lines I can ever remember at the club. And midfielders and wingers that don't score either. Therefore clean sheets become even more essential. I'd be tempted to go even more defensive in this fixture, five at the back. play for a 0-0, try and nick a goal from a corner or set piece. Celebrate a draw. I can't think of a viable alternative away from home with zero pace in the team. And ineffective strikers.

We missed two absolute sitters and a myriad of half chances. Top save off Dolan. Enjoyed watching Cantwell.

It's a terrible feeling when you know you are going to struggle to score. Puts huge pressure on all involved. It then feels catastrophic when you go one nil down. I think our most expensively acquired non-scoring forwards were Blake, Davies, Ward and Ostenstad. I think we waxed about 15 million on that useless collection. I dont want to, but i guess I should cut the current guys a bit of slack. Low cost purchases, new to the league, starved of service, struggling to adapt. Useless nevertheless. Another low scoring affair. 1-0 either way.

We stayed up last year winning away at Leeds and Leicester. Two of our best results over the past decade. We scored three goals in those two games. Or should I say Sammie scored three goals. Three goals from three chances. We all knew that replacing Szmodics goals would be nigh impossible. And so it is proving. Keep Szmodics with this squad and manager and we'd have a chance at the last couple of play off places along with five or six others. Sell Szmodics and replace him with players costing next to nothing and count yourself lucky not to be in a relagtation scrap. We can chart all this Venky stupidity back to sacking Allardyce for a cheap, useless replacement. Fast forward and we've just sold Szmodics for cheap, useless replacements.

Resilient, hard-working, well drilled, organised, professional, mature, committed, tough and uncompromising. Yes we want the moon on a stick, but this is professional football and we are doing ok. Unbeaten at home, points away at our closest rivals and few would have placed us in 6th after 11 games. We must take the positives, keep improving and use this platform in the weeks ahead. Until our strikers start contributing we have no choice focusing on being hard to beat.

We all agree the squad needs strengthening so I'm not sure why folk think we can simply turn up and outplay teams. We nearly went down last year and lost our best player. Important and hard fought three points. Very chuffed. Credit to all involved.

I think the team deserves us showing a bit of faith. There's still time to recover.

Can't fathom many of the Hedges comments on here. Especially after such a brilliant start to the season. In my opinion all have contributed fully and deserve their place in the team. We are not the most fluent or gifted attacking outfit. We've just lost the divisions top scorer. Our success late last season and the current defensive record stems from the workrate, committment and organisation players like Hedges bring to our team. I for one hope he starts tomorrow. if fit, I'm thinking nine players are nailed on to start and it's just who plays upfront and just off the striker that causes concern. And for me this is currently our biggest issue. Gueye's first touch and shooting needs work (putting it kindly), Ohashi has been largely ineffective the last two games with balls fired head high, Weimann shouldn't be played out wide and looks a little one paced, Cantwell isn't fit and won't contribute much defensively. We've been able to play Dolan centrally with Beck bombing on, but with him absent need Dolan on the left. I certainly wouldn't start Duberry, and i may be tempted to beef up midfield with JRC or Buckley in a more advanced role trying to play Ohashi down the sides of the centre halves. I think Eustace is more likely to perm any two from Gueye, Ohashi and Weimman however, but whoever he picks we need a lot more from them than the PNE and QPR games. Hoping very much for another clean sheet and to remain unbeaten.

Brilliant. Long hard season. Love the clean sheet.

Get in. Come on you blues.

Brilliant from Eubank. Never a truer word spoken, irrespective of his retraction. To steal the limelight off Beterbiev / Bivol. Comical.

With two holding midfielders, three centre halves and our attacking players unable to make any impact, we were totally devoid of any creativity last week. Whilst it was a poor performance going forward, I thoroughly enjoyed the clean sheet and credit to all for that. PNE are improving and I would have settled for a draw beforehand. We are all enjoying this unbeaten start to the season, but let's not get carried away. We have now got a problem down our left hand side which will further negate our attacking threat. I'm pretty sure Eustace will play Dolan on the left and Hedges on the right and focus on keeping our shape / clean sheet until later in the game. No easy games in this division. I'm expecting a tough, hard fought battle tomorrow, with few goals. Rovers to win 1-0.
