Thought for most parts of the game we looked in full control. Just like the West Brom game it was only a penalty that was scored against us. Really proud of the boys yesterday. Travis gets better and better each week. Give him a 10 year contract and let him choose his wage. Dack yet again showed his class and Charlie at set pieces is second to nobody in this country. Fancy us to win the replay 2-1 and hopefully draw The Dingles at Ewood in round 4.

Tom Eaves looks like a quality striker. A young Peter Crouch with strength. Has a a terrific touch, is strong on the ball and is about 8ft 6. Him and Dacky could make beautiful music upfront for us.

Had the chance to sit in a box with Jacob Murphys parents today. However it is my daughter's 12th birthday. Asked her if she would rather come with me or go to her grandparents. Needless to say I am currently in the car off to the in laws with her wearing her spurs shirt. Bet365 it is for me.

Rovers to beat Newcastle of course.

If there is a game for Arma to shine it's got to be today. Hoping Travis and Reed are paired up together in the middle. Raya Bennett Lenihan Mulgrew Bell Conway Reed Travis Armstrong Dack Graham

That's the type of player we should be looking at!

Come on TM bring this lad in. You know him from your Coventry days.

Make it 7 million so we can get Freeman to replace Dack and the deal is done.

New centre half confirmed... TM says age isn't an issue if you have the ability

Maddison set to leave Peterborough. Already has 14 assists this season. Him and Chapman in and send Palmer back. That would do for the creativity needed. Then it's time to bolster the defence and find a striker.

And an Olivia Atwood so they can stop inbreeding!

Is there a striker out there in the mould of Simon Garner. That's what I would like to see, along with a Colin Hendry and a Noel Brotherston. Not too much to ask. Oh and maybe a Tugay too.

Chapman has to be worth a gamble. The lad gets things going, he has the ability to get the fans excited which very few Rovers players have done for many a year. Is Bauer back from injury yet? If not then I wouldn't touch him. Maddison and Freeman would be worth a punt too. Freeman has similar techniques to Dack and can play deeper too. Peterborough have slumped of late so maybe Maddison might be interested. Looking forward to January and a bit of a freshen up of the squad.

Raya Bennett Lenihan Mulgrew Bell Conway Reed Travis Armstrong Dack Graham 2-1 Rovers 2 for Mulgrew (he just loves scoring against this lot)

I would rather not bring in any loans this window. I think it's fair to say a play off push might be slightly too much to ask, so let's build a squad of our own players that can push on next season. 3 or 4 young and talented players across the park, maybe with a Huth style centre half would do me. I have a funny feeling Dack might leave and we will go 4-4-2. If that is the case then pace out wide is essential and somebody like Chapman would be ideal.

Just after Lowe returns!!

Well done boys. Travis I fecking love you.

The 10 men curse set to strike again

Travis Reed and Davenport should be the future in the middle of the park for us. We need a hero in the second half. COYB give us some new year cheer.

I really don't know what to predict on this one. If I am going to have a bet I would go 2-2. We will undoubtedly concede but their defence isn't too cracking either. Raya Downing Mulgrew Rodwell Bennett Reed Travis Evans Rothwell Dack Graham Leuitweiller Lenihan Bell Palmer Armstrong Brereton Nuttall.

Have said it before, the lad reminds me of a young Roy Keane. Him and Reed in the middle would be a new version of Keane and Scholes. Get Davenport fit and they should be the 3 fighting it out for the starting roles.

People moaning about TM making changes mystifies me. The same people that slate TM for sticking with the same players week in week out. 2-1 Rovers Brereton and Rothwell

I expect a real tense nervy game. I think we will be tighter than ever at the back. Still expect us to concede but final score prediction is 1-1. Dack with a late equaliser. Raya Downing Lenihan Mulgrew Bennett Reed Evans Bell Rothwell Dack Graham

Time to drop Lenihan, Williams, Smallwood, Evans, Armstrong. Let's give Rothwell, Downing, Brereton, Travis, Davenport(when fit) a chance. Give Palmer a run in the team. I expect wholesale changes for the next game and knowing Rovers an unlikely win. 3 or 4 decent first team additions and we can get back on track. Huth Bauer Chapman Maddison Gestede Gallagher Chong (Man utd) Freeman Oviedo Samba 4 from the above list and we might get on a roll again.
