Same team line up as last Tuesday night but change Conway for Chapman. Be good to send The Trotters down, they’d no sympathy for us.

Well done Rovers. That’s 6 points, where most (including me), thought we’d get thumped in both fixtures. Just goes to show what we could have achieved had TM not been so stubborn persevering with Smallwood and Evans and played Rothwell from the start more often.

Raya’s confidence has suffered since he lost his nose at The Hawthorns. He tends to hesitate at times but he’s young enough and good enough to overcome it if he gets the correct coaching. Therein lies the underlying issue IMO.

Here we go...

Reedy injured according to Radio Lancs. Shame that but perhaps saved TM from some flak.

Danny Graham for me too.

Poor, poor team selection. Sadly, I fear a stuffing awaits. I agree with k-hodd: Rothwell must wonder what more he can do. Mowbray's lost the plot.

The VH Group has subsidiaries worldwide, including Switzerland. There's no way that our losses aren't tax beneficial somehow.

There's a general attitude of couldn't care less emanating from Ewood since January for some reason. Almost as if something has happened behind the scenes that has pissed everyone off. We're all aware of our general defensive woes but the spirit within the club has nosedived for some reason. I feel the poor results have come as a consequence and not the other way round.

Tyrone Mings was outstanding at the back for Villa yesterday against Birmingham. He's on loan from Bournemouth and based on that display, looks like just the type of player we need. Could be worth a shout.

I’m in agreement regarding something’s got to change but think Jonno isn’t anywhere near for a step up yet (if he ever will be). Make that change now and you’d just create another problem down the line in my opinion. I like Mowbray but don’t think much of Venus, Lowe or Benson. Sommats gone seriously Pete tong since January and I’d love to know what. The man to sort it should be Waggott but I’ve more faith in Ben Benson as a goalkeeping coach than I have in Catweezle as a CEO.

Hope you’re right come May! Thank god for January!

Reading are 3-2 up I think. Our season isn’t over by a mile yet

The clamour for Johnson as manager whilst understandable is ridiculous. A decent coach of young lads he may be but a manager of men he definitely ain’t.

Under the bridges before and after, in addition to the clinkers and lumps of coal lobbed into the open end after the final whistle.

I can imagine the pre match comments with 3 at the back, as has been suggested and Brereton and Nuttall up top!

Stick Dack up top with Armstrong in a 2, replace Mulgrew with Lenihan, have Chapman, Reed, Rodwell and Rothwell in a 442 and I'd be happy with that. We need to do something radical otherwise we'll be humiliated. Oh and what happened to the high tempo?!

It would be a start if we had a goalkeeping coach who'd been a goalkeeper at any level! I'm pretty sure he's never played the game at any decent level never mind kept goal.

Broken man comments to me. If you can't sort it Tony, then thanks for all you've done for the club, we're all indebted but please do the honourable thing and step aside.

No bullshit or platitudes Tony: what are you going to do that we can all understand, agree with and by in to?

TBH, with the team selection, tactics and how Rotherham play it was a bloody obvious conclusion! If we blood a couple of kids next week (Magloire and Hardcastle for example) and stick Chappers on the right we as fans will be up for it. We can't carry on as is.

ha! great that we've still got a sense of humour!

To be fair look at the formation: the midfields a gaping chasm where he has to come deeper and deeper.

touch of irony! see my earlier post and he's not a wingers cousin!

shame he can't fucking defend!
