As they say, it's a game of opinions. The switch to 4 at the back allowed Bristol City to get a foot in the game. They hadn't had a sniff before that. We were creating chances with the 3-4-3, as we have all season. One of which was JRC being put clean through, but I digress... He remains a bad manager and he needs to leave.

I haven't seen it mentioned, but the switch to a back 4 was moronic. Bristol City hadn't had a sniff, yet we decided to shift Lenihan to RB (which he absolutely can't play - defensively or offensively) and suddenly we were all at sea at the back. The 3-4-3 we play with a False 9 is tailor made for Dack - why not just take off the misfiring Buckley and replace him with Dack? Instead he shuffled all of the deck chairs on the Titanic.

He was warming up infront of the Jack Walker stand in the second half, so I'd be surprised if he wasn't on the bench.

One of the XI players on the pitch at the time of that penalty has to score it to save your life. Are you honestly telling me you're turning to Gallagher, Khadra, Rothwell before Dack? Give over.

You must be sitting in a different part of the ground to me.

Another Mowbray masterclass.

It's more that we don't the players to take chances. Brereton was converting chances at an unsustainable rate and that was carrying us. Nobody else has stepped up in his absence (Chile and injury) - and I'd need my fingers and toes to count the number of absolute sitters we've missed since 2022 started.

One of the benefits of this patented Mowbray death spiral is that I've not had to listen to that god awful song much at Ewood. Every cloud and all that.

I love that CD.

You're a better judge of talent than I if you're able to write off a player after 10 minutes of game time in 2 months.

We missed 4 absolute sitters - much like the Swansea game, nothing played into the oppositions hands. We just couldn't finish for toffee.

We don't have any assets left, the Venkys have seen to that. It'll be a labour of love or oblivion for Rovers - both are preferable to the status quo.

He's a niggly player, but he doesn't try to break the opponent's leg like Saville tried to do. Piss poor refereeing - didn't even feign an attempt to get the ball.

I do wish they'd sell us to competent owners.

We were unlucky in the sense that we missed absolute sitters. JRC, Lenihan and Gallagher all fired wide with chances a professional footballer at any level should be burying.

Probably because he spent £5m on Gallagher... and then doubled down by giving him a new contract.

The best bit was at the end where Travis fired in a deep cross to Dolan, who was flanked by two 6'+ Millwall players. Comical.

Hedges looks lively every time I see him, and Mowbray paid money for him. Instead he persists with a LWB as a right Inside Forward and a terrible football player as a left Inside Forward. No wonder we can't score - even the CBs have missed absolute sitters in this drought.

Sadly Gallagher isn't fit to lace their boots.

Buckley had a fantastic first half, but he was quiet in the second.

Saville has absolutely done Travis. How is that not a straight red?

All season.

Rothwell.

As evidenced by that run he just made when Travis was breaking with the ball - no.

60 mins in and their manager has made 2 tactical changes. Meanwhile Tone is sat on his arse.
