If Mowbray doesn’t trust Johnson and Davenport to fill the gap left by Travis, Mowbray needs to make a signing this window.

Solanke? Dream on. That’s like for like Plus PL level wages. Not happening in a million years. Brewster another one who hasn’t kicked off after a very good loan spell at Derby but probably being paid daft money as well. Would love Adebayo but must be PL sniffing about. Just keep Breo until the summer, no reason why he shouldn’t continue bagging goals for us. Full of confidence, great movement and hard-working. Would have scored that penalty last night.

Who? Celtic? I thought Rothwell was being linked to Rangers.

We can catch anyone on the break but we have to be a lot more presise than in our last two matches. We still defend well, but Edun and JRC aren't of the same quality as Rhino and Pickering. Tony should consider playing Lenihan at right back and put Ayala back in the side. We need his experience now.

Some vital matches coming up. Dust ourselves off and go again.

Agreed.

Worst commentators since Cardiff's own.

I've seen far worse allround but he's made two massive mistakes here. First one was on the linesman, the second he'll be disappointed with when he watches the replay.

Ayala needed to start this one, he's all up for a fight with Eaves. Knows all the tricks in the book as well. Referee has been conned on their second and how Breo wasn't given a penalty I don't know. The referees at this level are absymal. Edun is not much better than Bell. Gallagher has been poor, and too soon for JRC. Better second half though up until their con goal.

Smallwood vs Rothwell, I think they're in bigger trouble.

Me too. I think he'd be well up for a battle versus Smallwood.

Nyambe is suspended though. Do we know Travis is out with COVID? Bad news if so.

Going by what someone posted prior, which was £5m.

Can't see Healey joining us for the fee quoted unless there's an offer in for Breo that's too good for us to turn down. If that's the case then signing one established striker in Healey and a prospect in Markanday makes sense. Would prefer a loan deal for Healey though, not much resale value there unless he bags 15 goals for us as we finish behind Fulham again for automatic promotion.

I can see Lenihan, Rothwell and possibly Nyambe waiting out their deals unless a good PL offer (or top foreign league) comes in. If we win promotion we'll be able to offer better terms and they'll be more than happy to stay.

Pitch quality has deteriorated as well, more misplaced passes and difficult to counter as efficiently as we have been doing. We will have bad patches but this crop has a lot of belief and won't stop running, so we can pick up points against most teams even on a bad day.

I don't agree that we're paper thin. When called upon the players coming off the bench have done well and managed to see games out. Gallagher, Dolan, Johnson, Ayala and Davenport have all been bench warmers lately. Not saying I don't want reinforcements, but we already have one RB incoming plus Dack and JRC returning towards the end of the season.

Rovers is an excellent shop window for exciting young players like O'Riley at the moment. Beat us to Obafemi so time to show some intent here, Tony.

Seem to have improved miles since we beat them when they were a really poor outfit. Hopefully they can make a good FA Cup run and start wearing thin.

It's a big ask of Nyambe to have him play all games. Pickering and Edun have shared the left back role although it looks like it's Harry's to lose. Rhino has been a model pro as far as I'm concerned, and he can also slot into central defense when needed instead of Johnson. I'd still like Rovers to improve his terms and sign a cheap backup, but I'll wait and see how Zeefuik looks before passing judgment. With Dack returning we'll have a lot of options in the run-in, just hope we can avoid the usual period with key players injured this season.

You believe it's a good idea to put a left-footed central midfielder at right back? As for Nyambe, I think he's an honest pro and has had issues with tight hamstrings before. He sprints quite often during matches and puts down a lot of effort going both ways. He'll probably still fondly remember how he was displaced by first JRC then Bennett, so I don't think he owes Mowbray anything. What I don't understand is how a loan with a view to a permanent deal (at the figures quoted) for Zeefuik makes better business sense than offering Nyambe better terms. The latter has made 200 apps for us, just turned 24, and will be able to leave on a free come summer. Give him what he wants to try and push for promotion and then let him leave on a cheap if we need to slash the wage bill. Same goes for Lenihan. Rothwell has been some player this season but in the end is not very good defensively and his numbers (goals/assists) are far from where they should be - and that's probably why there aren't more suitors in for him.

Defenders are coming

Doesn't have the work ethic needed. Would have been a good fit last season, but the current squad is different. Just hope they keep the workrate up even if they should hit a slump.

Had an off night, maybe still not fully fit. Dolan was poor too.

Khadra can tear this league apart, a lot of raw potential there.
