I'd be satisfied with a GK, DC and DL brought in if our budget is minimum. Ideally downing signs on, we get a experienced striker and another DC and back up GK but if we address the above first i'm fairly comfortable our academy lot can start filling bin the gaps.

Not sure how many of you use NewsNow but looks like our ladies team are busy in the market! Thought we'd made a double signing today for a moment

We huffed and puffed there. Lacked any real quality. Felt we missed Dack today for the first time in a while. We neither won a playoff place or lost it today. However coupled with losing 2 points on Saturday negativety is in the air. I actually thing we can't blame Mowbray too much tonight for the match itself . I'd of picked same squad apart from playing it with the 4-4-2 we used 2nd half. What I do blame Mowbray for is the lack of January recruitment. 2 seasons in a row I think it'll cost us. More so this season.

Won't panic but after a decent starting 10 minutes that went downhill. Personally think downing isn't looking great today. Needs a rest. Oh and the obvious one in Gallagher. Think a 4-4-2 is the answer here.

You feel how we start second half will be key here

https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/18259224.mowbray-sets-return-date-rovers-defender-williams/ I'd expect Williams back Saturday tummy bug or not

Here's one for you, if they get rid of Woodgate do you think they'd go for Mowbray? Would Mowbray be tempted by home comforts?

Weird only a few weeks ago I think they were starting to settle and climbing back up the table. I actually thought our away point was very good one to get. Strange what 4-5 results do to a club and manager. Exact same with Shef Wednesday. They were 3rd at Christmas. Just beaten Leeds when we played them. Now look at them. Things change quickly in this league

Days like today are why I Like the fact we get a lot of 3 game weeks in the Championship. Today will be judged a success or failure this time next Saturday. We go back to Ewood for 2 more games, difficult games but if we play with the same effort and commitment as today there's no reason we won't bring in 7 points this week. All that matters is where we are in May. A point against a good Brentford team is a good sign but what we do at Home is more important.

You know what. That half was imperfectly perfect. Will be very tough next half. Huge 45 minutes.

Is this the same GK we had on loan at the start of the season?

Not Sure If it's the few beers on a Friday but i'm looking forward to tomorrow/ next week. This fixture defined our season last year. It could well do the same again this year. It will really be a barometer if we have or haven't progressed in the last year. It won't define whether Mowbray job is secure, he all but us having a complete collapse get's another crack at it next season (especially considering the injuries). However I think we'll know keeping in mind our 2 games after are back at Ewood if we are genuinely in a Play off fight after the week is done. That said a point tomorrow should indicate a positive result as long as it was gained in a positive manner (ALA not how we played against Fulham). 6 points this week is the minimum ideally we get some from a fellow rival!

To dissect my opinions on Tony a liitle. Tony the man manager- his strongest skill, he clearly has the backing of his players throughout his time here. Best we've had since Big Sam. Only issues I have is too many pointless contracts last season & strange treatment of Danny Graham this season. Tony the tactision- umm hit and miss, he gets some games perfectly. He clearly wanted to change the way we play this season. However to many times early this season we where round peg in a square hole. Bennett RB was Terrible, the wide striker situation wasn't/ still isn't a solution. I have no doubt that since more players are playing in their natural position our results improved is no coincidence. Tony the player developer-- often this feels like it happens when he's forced to eg. Travis. He's also too loyal to his league one crew for too long. However if his hand was forced or not he's brought a lot of academy players into the first team and some have thrived. Tony the recruiter--mixed bag, take out Dack and it's fairly poor record. The problem is he is too old school in the transfer market too patient and refuses to let a new player instantly come into the team. He tells them that too and I feel like we've missed out on good players because of it. Too many times it feels potentially good signing seemed to have slipped away. Tony the Man- it's hard not to like the Football loving Northern bloke. I'm grateful for the 3 years. He's not the perfect manager but his time so far goes down as a success and it's a long time since we've had a manager who I'd say did that. Here's to Tony taking tovers back to where we belong!

Very Harsh on Williams, early season Del looked very good as a CB, the issue was him and Lenihan are too similar. Tosin offers something different. I actually have no issue with a fit Williams there for a few games. If he was at LB we'd have issues though.

Nice Visual, interesting for myself based on league positions our harder games are at home our easier ones are Away. When the confidence is high that's a good think, but if that suddenly disappears it makes for a horrible run!

It's been scrappy, we where partially poor first 20 minutes of 2nd half. All that said anything but us winning would be undeserved. That being said we don't look like a playoff team. It's not all Tony's fault. He's done OK with the cards he had tonight

Probably edging up last 5 minutes. Looks like a very scrappy game

Best side could have hoped for. But surprised no Chapman on the bench. Is he injured?

Surely if josh King joins Man u. We might have flexibility for some late incomings. 20% clause I believe

Adam Armstrong is such a strange one. Great Goal today, but was not as confident as Bradley Johnson he'd finish it Some days he's unplayable (especially when we where in League one). More often though he's awful. it's been nearly 2 years now, what do we think of him? Was he a good buy? For what it's worth I still think he's a player who it'll suddenly all click for and he'll become amazing. A little like the last 6 months we had of josh King. Edit: Actually the more I think about it he's like the player version of Tony Mowbray. Almost amazing but decision making let's him down and goes on these purple patches that give you such hope!

From your list 1 rovers win prem 2 England win world cup 3 rovers get promotion from championship (secure our financial future) 4 rovers win fa cup 5 England win euros 6 rovers win league cup 7 rovers secure promotion league 1 and below 8 Burnley relegated 9 I win £10 on the lotto 10 England win nations league etc.

What, you're allowed to play new signings straight away. Some one tell Tony

Agreed him and Walton ability are key. Yea the johnsons and Gallagher were nice to have but these 2 positions were key and major weaknesses last year. Same with lb but think Cunningham will be the answer there. My gut feeling is tosin will be good enough but Walton isn't

So to rate the transfer window. I believe we are stronger then we finished last season and would give it a 6.5/10 Goalkeeper 4/10 I'm disappointed we sold Raya and got Walton , I see it as a minor downgrade and even worse a problem we have to address again next season when his loan ends Defence 7/10 I for one am glad we went for a LB over a CB today, although would have preferred both! I think tosin's physicality is something we have missed and believe he's good enough for a team looking to go for play off's. I also rate lenihan and think Williams is a decent back up. So overall we can field a decent CB paring although cover is thin on the ground. I believe nyambe can be a good enough RB, it's just a shame Mowbray seems to only rate Bennet. As for LB really glad we got Cunningham over the line. Overall defensively we are solid now but lack cover. Midfield 8/10 Johnson is a good signing and downing isn't bad either. only downside is they are both fairly short term with them both the wrong side of 30. Shame we haven't shipped out smallwood. we are incredibly bloated in midfield options. and it could stop the likes of travis, davenport, buckley and Rothwell getting game time their development needs. Attack 6/10 First did we keep dack or do clubs see his performances have dropped in 2019? we may one day regret rejecting WBA advances last summer. Gallagher is fairly good, liked him last time he was hear and sort of feels like the graham replacement long term, I don't know where it leaves Armstrong and ben Brereton as number 9's though. sham to see the nut leave but he's more likely to have found his level in league 1 then be someone who we eventually regret going in my opinion. All that said we are stronger but still shy of playoff ready. the main issue is actually Dack. something has happened and he doesn't look the same player anymore. A dack we had in league 1/ first 3 months of championship with our additions could fire us as an outside shot but I think we'll be doing well to get top half at the moment. Mowbray to make it all the way through the season, then binned during his trip to india next summer.
