Afraid Im just pointing out that we'll only be 3 points above the drop zone with two extremely hard games to come with half of our team out! Sky just showed Villa's penalty decision=what a joke.

Utd up next as well. We could quite easily get dragged in to the bottom three if we're not careful.

Hughes has said that Sav's injury is more two weeks-but lets just hope he isn't rushed back because I fear he will be if Moko continues as he has.

Another night another injury. Good to see Shabani and Morten back but obviously this was tarnished with the month long injury to Sav. January really can't come fast enough.

Feeling weirdly optimistic about this one-they've been poor of late as well...so: Villa 0 Rovers 1 Mokoena

I thought Moko was worse than bad, he was awful- Tugay and a few others had to carry him. I have no idea what Hughsey will do on Saturday with Sav out?

Much better in the last quarter of the game, and what a legend Tugay is. I doubted whether he could start tonight due to his age but he along with Ooijer and Zura (and of course Brad) were our best players tonight.The downsides tonight: we HAVE to play better in first halves because we could be dead and buried against quality opposition and surely Mokoena has proved that he cannot start a game despite Sav's new injury?

Another non-first half performance from Rovers...that was utter garbage. I half wish those pictures had stayed off!! Even the players all look frustrated with one another

Great signing-a very intelligent, skilful striker. I still think that there's room for his finishing to improve though-the Bolton game would be testament to that.

Could be looking like the same 11 as we played at West Ham then... Really could be a last chance saloon for some of these boys if as we hope some of our injuries start to clear up.

McCarthy and Jeffers looked like two strangers on Sunday, so getting Nonda up top with benni is a must if we are to progress.

A reprieve for Micky Gray then?

Bit worrying when were talking of protecting Franny Jeffers Lets just hope Nonda gets fit ASAP.

It would appear that Mourinho has gone and made a tit out of himself again. He's accused Eidur Gudjhonson of diving since he joined Barca...now I could be wrong but I swear I've seen Drogba, Robben, Joe Cole and even captain marvel Terry taking the odd tumble in the past

I do agree Pleasure, but the thing is you can practice and practice set pieces but it only takes one player in the 90 minutes to turn off for a split second and you're screwed-like we have been that has now cost us at least four points in the last three games.

So has anyone found any gems yet? Im just past Christmas with Rovers and am around midtable having just signed Figo and Recoba. Neither are getting any younger but I'm in real need of some creativity to turn 0-0's into wins. My best players have probably been Nelsen who is an absoloute rock and Benni Mac has bagged a fair few. Yet again Spurs are overrated and seem to be on course for the title with Berbatov scoring a goal a game!

Rovers.co.uk say that Roberts injury will keep him out for 3-4 months....similar time to Reidy and Nelsen then.

I thought we were all saying that the injury problems on FM 2007 were exaggerated?!

It's a recurring theme though with the odd game being the exception (ie Bolton). Whoever said the board really need to back Hughes in January couldn't be more spot on.

Sky just showed we had close to 60% of the ball second half. Why is it that we dominate possesion EVERY game and never back this up with good chances that the possesion should provide? Roberts' Meta-tarsel Broken

I thought Gally and Peter were the only bright points from a miserable, miserable afternoon. After Basel our next 3 fixtures are Villa away, Utd and then Spurs home. Sav, Reid and Nelsen must've been cringing watching that. Sparky said before the game that he was interested to see how the 'squad' as a whole would do...I think he got a resounding answer.

Humiliated. We could play all night and not score. Edit-Or not!!!

Although West Ham have been average at best and as annoying as John Motson is I don't think we could argue if he said that Rovers have produced one of the worst footballing halves by a team this season-devoid of ideas, sloppy at the back, nobody tracking their players etc. We havent created one chance and McCarthy-who should be our biggest threat looks so disinterested it's untrue. Lets get at them!

That is quite possibly the most uninspiring selection of players on the bench that I have ever seen Rovers have to put out. Man we need a central midfielder! Lets hope Sergio shows Gamst how it's done. Comon you blues!!

I suppose fans up and down the country will moan like crazy about their own players' stats though-although I do agree with you!! The scousers on si games' myspace are constantly moaning about Sissoko and Kuyt being too low etc. I would however like some of MGP's stats to be given to Zura and Nelsen!...Despite Benny not having the best stats he certainly knows where the net is!
