Football is a funny old game. OOH AHH GALLAGHER!

At least Chapman travelled.......... ...nice day out for the lad..... ...or something.

?

I'm finding BBC Parliament significantly more interesting.

Mowbray bursting with praise for the man of the match.

Best player off with 20 to go. Typical Rovers. Let's see what happens.

Holtby a beautiful player to watch.

Does Holtby still need to learn how we play and the intensity we ask for?

Injured for over a month if you hadn't noticed.

If we did go to a back three I would like to see Holtby, Travis and Johnson running the midfield. Tosin and Nyambe at least have some pace about them to get back on side - albeit can't see Williams being dropped. Not least without Cunningham being on the pitch anyway. Echoing AAK below, I don't think we have the backbone for it, though. I was dreaming of Armstrong / Dack / Rothwell / Holtby on the pitch together making things happen. Got a whole half of it yesterday. We were utter shit. We don't have an identity. Our players have no ideas what they're doing one week to the next. The manager says he doesn't care about formations and systems yet goes on about lining up differently depending on the opposition week in week out. It's all just a depressing confusing mess. But we're supposed to believe the team turn up beleving they can win every game? Give over.

So they're off for a week's rest after that performance. Should be in tomorrow nice and early.

Well I have the front four I wanted so I hope Holtby can provide some inspiration. EDIT: Nevermind.

The only game in which we won by a 2 goal margin this season. So we at least weren’t overrun.

It would be nice to bring the likes of Downing and Johnson on to control and see games out if it means the likes of Holtby and Rothwell getting game time early doors and doing what they're been doing for 10 minute cameos for longer spells.

Holtby has got to start. Rothwell has got to start.

???

*chef's kiss*

Holtby, Rothwell & Graham need to start.

He won't be back in training for 3 weeks.

Here's hoping for a more exciting experience for the "next generation" than last time.

My post was in response to the thread title My expectations for the coming season have risen considerably with the arrival of Holtby. I see now that the word considerably was used in the post before mine and realise how that may have caused confusion ?

...have risen considerably with the arrival of Holtby.

You really love to see it.

You love to see it.

Holtby on the bench. Rothwell injured? Evans and Armstrong on the pitch. Travis / Johnson didn’t last long.
