And for all those Carolina Panther fans (....just me then ). Almost team I support has laid down and died within 24 hours (The Oakland Athletics are on their offseason, otherwise I'm sure they'd have followed suit). It's days like this where I hate sport. As for the game, well by the sounds of it they fully deserved it. Once again we failed to turn up and the front two were non-existant.

F#cking disgraceful. Absolute pathetic result.

We're going to lose this.

If only we could score. Our front two don't put enough away.

This Carson lad sounds pretty useful.

3 & 3 for me too, and I wholeheartedly agree, red and black halves should be a fixture for the away kit.

Threadbare back line that. A win is looking less likely now.

I thought Bentley had some neat touches and, most importantly, looked to simply keep possession. He's a long way away from claiming the Tugay role, but I agree, he flashed the potential on Saturday.

Benni or Shefki - it's not a difficult choice really. I agree with Joey, Nonda is the far superior player, but the sheer size and work ethic of Shefki is missed, especially off the bench.

Isn't he scoring again, albeit in the Championship. As for SWP being better than Bellamy, well I'm inclined to agree - especially when you factor in personality and proneness to injury.

Too much, and yes, they're a selling club.

It'd be an absolute huge signing for our team, finally providing us with some much needed pace in midfield. The fact that he can consistently beat his man, nick the odd goal or two and provide service to our front two wouldn't go amiss either. Alas, Chelski are asking for £10m for him, minimum - about £6m outside of our price range. Plus, half of the Prem (the half that can afford him) is after his signature.

Oh God, that's never a good sign.

Typical Rovers luck that.

Wouldn't mind a bit of pace too.

Nonda should have scored twice, likewise Savage probably should have scored. That said, your lot need to learn to put their foot through the ball. You had a lot of tame shots. All in all, I'm happy with a draw. We're not playing well, we were away from home and we're still struggling to cope without Reid and Nelsen. A place in the last 32 isn't too shabby.

Nonda has absolutely no confidence in front of goal, he should have buried both his chances. Time for Jeffers methinks.

Did Gamst just get spat on? Either we're really good in Europe, or this side are crap. Whereas we've struggled to link up with the forwards in the Prem, tonight they're running the show.

What a great website. Sgt Roy Batty has a future career in journalism.

See, this is why I like this board - well informed discussion. Carry on.

That would be a good system to follow - give each manager two 'challenges' (in American Football terms, that's a red flag that they throw onto the field). If they challenge say a red card and are deemed to be correct, then they retain said challenge. If they're deemed to be incorrect both times they challenge then they cannot challenge anymore. Obviously though they'd have to limit what you could challenge - probably to dismissals (both a second yellow [and if the first one wasn't a bookable offence, then tough because the player should have controlled themselves], or a straight red), handballs and contentious goals. You'd probably have to add fouls in the penalty area to that too. It would slow down the game, but at this point in time I'd be all for that as officiating is beyond a joke right now. As long as the correct decision is reached.

All controversies aside, I'm pretty happy with a point at home. With the way our squad is stretched we're going to struggle to stay up this year. I think we will, but there's not a lot of difference between the teams after the top four. A bit of luck, a rash of injuries, a purple patch - that's, essentially the difference between sixth and lurking near the relegation zone. At the moment we're bang out of form, have injuries to the hilt and are getting no luck. Hopefully all this will change after Christmas, but up until then we just need to pick up the points where we can and cut down on conceding goals. The back four looked pretty solid tonight, I'd be tempted to stick with it for Thursday.

And they have how many Rovers Sunday matches to choose from this season to show on SKY? Crazy decision - though I suppose we can't afford to turn down the money with our fan base.

Can anyone explain to me why this game is on a Sunday? It seems pretty pointless to me. It's my second home match of the season I have to miss due to other commitments. Not a happy bunny.

Apparently Hughsey is the dullest man on the face of the earth. Not that it detracts from his managerial skill.
