Markanday on for me. Only player we have on the bench with the ability to change a game.

They have a very good squad. With a decent manager they would be up there for sure. Like many have said, they’re the best team to come to ewood this season so we need to be at our best today. I’ll take a draw now.

2K? If that’s true that is class!

Kaminski JRC. Hyam.. Ayala. Pickering Morton. Buckley Markanday/hedges Dack. Brereton Gallagher Has to be the best team we have at the moment with players available. I will give JDT the credit he deserves if Travis doesn’t start. Something we know Mowbray never did!

Has coventrys points deduction been applied?

3 games in 7 days coming up explains the team selection. Nothing more to add really & makes total sense.

I’m rooting for JDT I really am but I just can’t help think something is missing and my god I’ve not felt this depressed watching us since the couple/kean days. We win games and it makes me give JDT a chance to think he could be soemthing but when we loose it’s like the lowest feeling…tbh even when we win I’m not convinced. I’m hoping it’s a slow burner and with a few new players in and getting rid of the deadwood we may become dominent in games…Next summer will be interesting as I don’t think we will do anything in January. Either way we sit 3rd which is the mentalist thing ever.

Our chances created is very worrying…not just tonight, but all season. JDT needs to sort this out.

Not sure why people are going mad about us not playing our best players. Imagine the up roar of Diaz plays and gets injured? We need to focus on the league! No argument there really.

Yeap, I will furious if he starts at Sunderland

I think everyone wants to see A Wharton progress but he really is making it easy for JDT to not play him in the league.

I have every confidence in the midfield & even Hirst…not so much the back line. A Wharton & Garrett masterclass incoming.

I’d say we will be seeing him against Forest. Hopefully a game he can show us what he’s capable of!

A great result and reaction to a very very bad few weeks! We still need to be better on the ball but such a good feeling getting 3 points. The upmost respect for JDT on dropping Travis. We all know mr Mowbray wouldn’t have done the same. Has he lost his place? I think so

Yeah, would love to see a A Wharton/ Buckley in the middle. On their day that would be probably the best CM duo in the league.

I honestly think the shite we are playing at the moment is worse than last season…We arnt creating anything? Surely our XG is lower.

Sorry if it’s been mentioned but has there ever been a team sat in 3rd at this part of the season who play as badly as us??

Travis needs to be dropped! He slows us down and has defiantly been the weak link this season for us. The master of a backward pass… Get some fresh young bodies in there. I will be furious if A Wharton doesn’t make the squad.

I’ve never been more confident for a loss in all my life. 4-1 hammering with a 3rd straight shocker of a performance. JDT under serious pressure if that’s the case.

Lewis travis truely is an awful player! Strip him of his captaincy and remove him from every starting 11 moving forward. Midfield non existent…Again! Where the hell is A Wharton?!? Its a good job a win for England will completely change my mood because this is the lowest I’ve felt being a rovers fan for a long time.

Only 4 league games this season where I think we’ve played okay/well. Blackpool away Watford Home Rotherham Home Hull away. Yet here we are sat 3rd in this crazy league with one of the lowest XG…No way is this sustainable and something has to change before our “luck” runs out…or even worse when our only goal threat leaves for free next summer!

Agreed, usually it’s an excuse to say to rest them due to up & coming games…We’ve now got a months rest so it makes zero sense. I’d of started Both today.

He’s right with the defending bit though (obviously until they scored). We contained them well in the first half…That was obviously our game plan to them hit them on the counter…which we did extremely poorly.

Was there any trouble at the game?

Mind they’re just as bad as us. They let an awful Millwall side ship 4 goals past them.
