Another very good finish by Dolan.

Another well made goal. Didn't see this coming.

Very good goal that.

Glad to see we've come out flying.

Shite line up Shite squad Shite manager Shite owners We really are shite.

It really doesn't. It's a squad that is technically 'capable' at (I may be being generous with a couple of players in that category) zero pace, no set piece takers, no aerial threat, minimal physicality and little leadership. It's the worst squad I've known.

Smacks of Mowbray's results after Coyle. Too many safe draws won't keep you up. Turning one into a win would. We've all known for a while that the squad is awful: unbalanced, small, slow and little fight. That lies with the owners and recruitment staff. It will be no better next year unless we hit administration. Eustace looks a dire appointment though. Still, as the cap wearing chap said, no excuses.

Sammy absolute saving grace this year.

Awful this. Summed up by Pickering's shit corner. Oh for some Mulgrew quality from set pieces.

Yes - The Scott Dann that looked initially decent but lazy and uninterested during most of his Rovers spell. Not interested in what he did after.

They are all pretty dire. Gallagher does his best work in our half, chasing back and defending set pieces. He's more important to the team than the others for that reason alone - but generally pretty poor as a goal threat/or holding the ball up.

Have to say that Hyam really isn't up to much. Been a mainstay of a leaky defence for last 2 seasons and doesn't seem a leader on the pitch. Reminds me a bit of Scott Dann.

My favourite post of the weekend 👏🏻

No I agree. There was that period in the 80s/90s when centre backs converted into decent strikers (Warhurst, Dublin, Sutton). Often mused that Gallagher should have gone the other way. I don't know how long Leonard is out for - but for me he needs to start every game going forward. We'll need him in league 1.

The Gallagher conundrum. He is our best defender but our worst attacker.

Game over. Tuesday was clearly a one off performance - No pressure on them midw eek.

Only seen a bit of him and he clearly struggled at Coventry but between him and the higher rated (by Brighton) Moran, I'd rather have him. As you say, has a bit of spark and devilment about him. He could be a shrewd signing for the right money. Shame we don't have any.

Final thoughts: Played much better than expected - to a man. Decent crowd. Small protest but achieved its aims and got Venkys name out there. Quite enjoyed the style of football we played tonight. Head held high.

Honourable defeat. It's the Rovers way.

Well, we all called what would happen with those subs. They'll get a couple more now.

Those subs have cost us the game.

He'll have a tough job justifying anything more than £250 to watch this dross.

But he won't 'add value' to the squad with these type of performances - which is the biggest remit of the job apparently.

Agree. Szmodic isn't going to get a move to the prem. Another case if a player being good in the champ but not having the game for the Prem. His age would also go against him. The outlier may be Luton uf they stay up. Unlikely that any current champ clubs would buy him as he'd be expensive at this level and financial climate. He would be a good summer signing for a relegated side however - relatively low wages and likely to score a few. That's the only way he leaves I think.

Point on the road always welcome but christ that was a hard watch.
