How on Earth is Magolore starting. he was utterly abysmal midweek. Edun must not be impressing in training. Think I'd even take Bennett at RB above Magolore. At least he's not CB which was a disaster. EDIT....ermmm please don't be a back 3

Sounds like a few players will miss this game. Lenihan, Rothwell, Nyambe, Gallagher all expected to be out. After the last game, Magolore, Clarkson and Poveda cannot play! Butterworth deserves another run out I think. Kaminski Edun Carter Ayala Pickering Travis Buckley Dolan Butterworth Khadra Brereton Theres not much physcial presence in there though!! Johnson would be a mile off the pace to start though.

Some good individual performances....Brereton, Rothwell and Pickering. Carter not a bad deputy. Magolore is utterly awful and should no longer be considered. One of the U23s must be better. Theres also no way Poveda and Clarkson are any better than our academy lads. Hopefully Nyambe and Rothwell injuries aren't serious.

Shocking at the back. Was that magolore again?

Kin he'll. Magolore is an absolute liability. He needs to go off ASAP. Carter to CB and edun to rb

Pen!! who the hell is this Diaz guy.....he's quality. Gone from a joke to indespensible. Need to do everything possible to sign him on a long deal. If he can get anywhere near armstronts goal tally his all round contribution is far greater.

Fuck sake. Magolore terrible player Good header to be fair

Goal!!! Mega from Rothwell. At his best he's prem quality...just no where near often enough Great goal tho

Was about to write the same thing. Madness. Also Magolore will never be a player at this level

Butterworth looks class. He should be ahead of Buckley

Good start for Butterworth. Done more than Buckley already! Our pitch is looking dodgy so early in the season. Edit 1-0!!

Looking poor at home against a side near the bottom who haven't scored in 5 games. Exciting times.....

Fifa have cleared the premier league Brazilians to play this weekend....is this the same for BBD?

The first part of the post is purely down to Southgate. He has all the attacking talent he could wish for....players who in general play for progressive attack minded club sides. They well and truly have the shackles placed on them when with England. Effective in the main, but the better sides will eventually break through after which Southgate hasnt shown much of an ability to adapt mid game. Disagree with the last point. We have some of the worlds top players in this squad, champions league and league winners. Southgate needs to be more dynamic and use them.

0 subs in over 90 mins. Conceede last minute rather than just killing the game. I know weve done well in tournaments but I still think Soithgate has masively lucked out with this generation hes in charge of. Very very limited manager imo. Any normal manager would have made 3 changes and killed the game after 75 mins.

Not seen him play but reading a report from one of our pre-season friendlies Garrett sounded quite promising and did well against a decent side (Leeds?). Sounded like a 6ft+ centre mid who enjoyed a tackle. If hes decent ive no problem giving one of our youngers some game time but agree we are short if no-one comes through. Johnson is back training but that doesnt fill me with any excitement.

Nice message from Arma on Instagram. Not sure I agree with his backing of Mowbray but its a nice personal message to the club and fans. Cant hold any grudge over his move. Good move for him and his family. Good luck to him.

His comments completely sum up the complete lack of pressure he feels to get any type of result. Completely and utterly repaxed with his feet up taking home a pay check along with his mate Waggot.

If I wasn't a Rovers fan I'd bet good money on us to be in L1 next season. Cant see many positives to look forward to in the next 12 Months. Lost a 29 goal striker, host of players out of contract next summer.. Hopefully fans in the ground will help get a message to the owners...if they ever watch a game. Bit gloomy after a cup game but I can see it coming

Only a friendly but as others have said..I have a bad bad feeling about this season. feel well be closer to L1 again come summer than the top.

Nice shirt..like the rose detail in the blue. Gives the impression some actual thought went into it same comments as others regarding i would prefer alternate blue white arms. A far cry from that god awful pale blue zebra sponsor kit. Still makes me feel queezy

Feckin hell, having lived a relatively sheltered life thus far, its amazing and eye opening to read how many of us have difficult backgrounds and periods in their past. Kudos to all that have had the strength to come through. Reading Treacys article, I can fully imagine its still a problem in our game....including our club.

Wonder if he can speak any Spanish. I bet its quite an awkward prospect being called up to a national team where you cant even speak the language of all your team mates.

I think Ward Prowse can count himself unlucky not to be in the squad. Sancho for all the hype never seems to take the full back on. Passes it square.

Cant get my head around why the two warm up games before a tournament, were playing half a team that aren't in the tournament squad. 3 rightbacks in the squad but a CB who isn't in the competitive squad plays there. Madness...
