Will TM have the cajones to tell the V’s he’s gonna go for it? I have serious doubts.

Typical Rovers conceding an 80+ minute goal.

Smallwood would always come in with Evans out. Personally I’d go Nyambe RB and Benno CM but he’s probably been looking for an excuse to get Richie back in and now he’s had one.

Glad Palmer isn’t starting but even Mercer could predict him coming off the bench to score today. Not liking Williams somehow winning his shirt back either - he’s gash.

No confirmation yet about anyone other than Lenihan being out.

We usually just throw away the 2. But you’re right - that was so Rovers!

Very concerned by Lenihan being out. I’ve posted it before but I don’t like two cultured centre halves playing together - I just can’t see Mulgrew/Rodwell working. Lenihan may not be Andy Todd but he’s still a bit of a bruiser who will kick people and make life uncomfortable for strikers. Even more worrying will be if Mulgrew’s out and it’s Del Boy & Rodders at the back!

Davenport is back from deaths door to start for the under 23s tonight against Everton. ROVERS: Albinson, C. Doyle, Magloire (c), Annesley, Buckley, Rankin-Costello, Davenport, Mols, Paton, Butterworth, Vale. Subs: Eastham, Carter, Saadi, Whitehall, Piliukaitis.

Nothing’s official until Mercer has made his prediction.

Quite! Surprised, yet not surprised, that Sharpe doesn't have the scoop.

I read that on Twitter too. Anyone got an idea?

Fingers crossed it hasn’t flared up further then as he’s still got ice on it 4 days later. I actually think we’d miss Graham the most out of the quartet. He’s just such a huge player for us and we do not have a replacement who can do the half of what he does.

Dack’s just posted on Instagram a video of him with an ice pack on his ankle. Think some of us will need to take our boots on Saturday.

Injured. He posted on Twitter that he’s out for at least two weeks. We need Mercer to predict a pasting for us to get back on track.

We’d been beaten before we even took to the bloody pitch with those two dollopers in central midfield.

Jesus Christ that central midfield just made me bring my lunch back up.

Good job we didn’t bolster the squad in January.

Lenihan injured. Fear not, ‘deadly Del Williams’ will be the rock that we didn’t need in January.

5-2. Jesus fucking wept.

Well I for one hope he doesn’t moan next week when 1 or even 3 of those are out and we have to field kids on the bench given his post window chat.

Either way - we needed somebody better to replace Graham at 60 mins and to play when Graham can’t play 3 times in a week.

Smallwood’s Finally been dropped - wonder if Benno will suffer the same fate after today. Won’t hold my breathe.

Didn’t need an alternative this window though did we?

Yep. And now he may be injured and we’ll be reliant on Joe Nuttall or God forbid, Brereton.

4. By God we love an implosion don’t we. What a horrible horrible result and day.
