Which is to say we have two guys playing FB that can't actually play FB. Sheffield Utd are going to have a field day unless Reed and Rothwell boss the midfield.

Evans is a nothing player - what does he bring to the team exactly? He gets a nosebleed when he crosses the half-way line and he's hardly a terrier in defence! Smallwood is just terrible. He's the new Keith Andrews, the game just passes him by. The less said about Armstrong the better. He's a slow-witted striker that can't finish. His pace creates him chances in League One, but at this level he brings nothing to the table. In Raya, Nyambe, Mulgrew, Bell, Reed, Rodwell, Rothwell, Dack and Graham you have the basis of of a very good Championship team. It's simply not a good division - it never has been, really. We're absolutely crying out for a no-nonsense CB to partner with Mulgrew. Lenigan isn't that player. We're also desperate for some pace upfront. At the moment Dack and Graham are isolated and are, therefore, entirely ineffective. The problem with Mowbray is that he refuses to play Reed, Rodwell and Rothwell (either entirely or in their correct positions) and has stuck with his favourites. Our defence is shaky, as they can't defend a ball into the box, and our attack is laboured. It feels like he's trying to win every game 1-0, often from a Mulgrew set piece. If we stick with the current formation then we need to pair Reed and Rodwell in CM, find a good pacy left winger in January and stick Rothwell on the other side to balance out the attack.

I'm not convinced that goal went over the line. Nor was it a foul by Smallwood in the lead-up to the third. Still, criminal defending. We deserve to lose - although once again, that's Norwich and Leeds now. They're both bang average and they're romping this league. A bit of investment and we'd go up.

I'm as disgruntled with Mowbray as the rest of you, but what can you do as a manager when your LB wallops it into the back of his own net under no pressure?

He finished the game on Saturday hobbled. He's probably not fully fit.

They're hardly Brazil. Also Leitner had to be subbed because he injured himself trying to crock Graham.

Except he has three ex-Rovers players on the bench that would all walk into our team. He's got a good, if cynical, team, but he's not performing miracles with the squad he has at his disposal.

If he was Chelsea standard he wouldn't be out on loan at 22. He's just a commodity they use to make a little extra money.

When I see Smallwood and Evans on the teamsheet my heart sinks. Two League 1 midfielders who try hard, but aren't good enough and bring a negative mindset to the play. We ask too much from our Fullbacks in attack - it's no wonder we get caught out late in games because Nyambe is out on his feet having done the work of two men. Palmer was really poor again, but he's being played out of position. Much like Brereton and Armstrong. Mowbrey really needs to change his formation to reflect his squad or we're always going to struggle.

We've been shit. Offer nothing going forward.

It is odd that we've spent £8m on strikers then shifted them wide.

The only thing that's changed is that we're bloody knackered. You can only play a high pressing game for so long - we ran out of steam after an incredibly difficult match on Saturday. It happens. Take it on the chin and move on.

Can you play CF to a Championship level?

One chance, one goal. Leeds have been shit this half and they're going in level. Ah well, this is why we're a mid-table side.

Give over, we don't have anything like going forward. As Jim said, we're a solid mid-table side.

Thought we made an absolute meal of that, but it's nice to take all three points.

Nonsense I'm afraid. Dack came back into DM and took over Evans' job in the first half. By the end of the match he was playing CM trying to get his foot on the ball, so starved of service was he. Graham had an absolute shocker tonight, I don't think he won a header. Dack and Armstrong (who I don't particularly rate) had nothing to feed off - every long ball was coming straight back and Evans / Smallwood dally on the ball so long that nothing was coming to feet.

He can't pass the ball to himself. He's making good runs in to the channels, his teammates just aren't used to anyone doing that and are delaying the pass too long - so it's then not on and it looks like he's run down a blind alley.

You are of course joking. Go and look at the gif in this thread, or the highlights on SkySports. Blatant dive and many Rovers players in disbelief that the official has awarded a penalty rather than a yellow card for diving.

We're competing in the Championship after 7 years of neglect. How can you be depressed with that?

Bloody hell, how wasn't that a straight red for the Brereton penalty?!

Mowbray going for a draw then. Started with Conway. Brings on Bennett for Palmer. Trying to shut up shop.

It's a dive.

He looked like a player who had barely trained with his teammates. Found himself in good positions quite a lot, but nobody was looking for that pass so he was rather ineffective.

Just one of those games unfortunately. A goal from a FK that never was. Three goals from fortunate deflections. Meanwhile we didn't take our chances. We're never going to challenge for the league, so you brush yourself down, pick yourselves up and move on. Shows the lack of quality in this league if these guys are promotion contenders.
