First one incoming!

If we insist on dropping our two best attacking players I wish we would play Rothwell ahead of bloody Conway I know defensive discipline yada yada yada but I think it’s a myth that Conway actually possesses that he’s just that slow he’s often still In our half. Failing that play Nyambe right back and Bennett further forward and clearly the left back spot is just going to be hot potatoed now. Also I think for all concerned Nuttall timed his goals at a bad time, now back out of the squad without the chance of a loan and no backup coming in. Armstrong should cause them problems though and Ben needs to take his chance, hope we get that goal tonight! Still fancy us to win 3-1 Arma, Big Ben and Dack with the goals

Would be lovely to enjoy an evening match on sky for once, hardly ever recall us winning one

I didn’t realise we were 8 points behind 6th having played a game more; another win for Bristol City tonight puts us 10 behind 5th place on the same games played

I was going to say 2 but I’ll go for 3

Nothing tactical cost us? I bloody hope they work on defending corners in training. It was clear the second sub confused matters at weekend, for a good while a few seemed unsure of their role

Just seen the £99 offer, I don’t think that’s too bad a price to a package which includes 4 Derby games but can’t imagine the take up will be huge but it’s cost the club nothing to try it!

Whilst Sam is great at what he sets out to do a lot of the people I used to go with stopped going in that time and didn’t come back. Of course the premier league is where any English club wants to be but it’s grim at times; games sacrificed and waiting for the games where you may nick a win against West Ham etc Then again I actually think the bottom half has got poorer overall with a lot of average teams in there

An interesting one and I hope that line of thinking extends to Nyambe in Mowbrays mind, he didn’t ever warrant losing his place. We really need to be bouncing back with a result here, may be a decent time to make a couple of changes but all of a sudden we don’t look too flush with options.

In fairness a slightly longer than usual blade of grass would manage to block Raya off! I thought he was lucky not to cost us a goal in the first half, weak shot from outside the box that looked to be going wide and he kept it in and parried to their lad.

Chaddy thinks Palmer did nothing of note because he didn’t score or assist but the Bristol fans certainly welcomed his input, he ran the game for a good 5-10 minutes after the goal in a way that Paul Gallagher has done at Ewood before. Dropped deep and kept picking up the ball and keeping it away from us whilst slowing the pace right down. Imagine his manager would be delighted with that.

Mowbray doesn’t sound happy with their goal and says the players responsible have been told in no uncertain terms. Hope he’s not placing the blame solely at Nyambes door, admittedly he was too focused on the man not the ball but Raya should come and take that ball. Next game we have to have Nyambe in at right back, I also hope he doesn’t use Travis having one off day to put him back on the bench.

Really long queues to get into the family stand today, seemingly some turnstile issues with only a couple open

I don’t get this he played only a few weeks ago for Boro in the cup, Pulis doesn’t seem like someone who would be content with a player not being fit so he can’t be too far off

I’m not saying the team is as good just that we are as close to being competitive as we have since then

They aren’t a team of world beaters, in fact there’s only a couple of teams in this league that stand apart, we aren’t miles away and still as competitive as we’ve been since the Rudy, Rhodes and King days On days like today the Brereton investment seems criminally wasteful though, close to a squad that can compete and we don’t bring our £7m man on when trailing

For me only Rodwell and Mulgrew performed there We never really looked like scoring

Palmer who Chaddy said is not good enough for Rovers just made about 4 of ours look like mugs

0-1 Not been coming either way but shocking defending from Delboy it looked like

Rothwell on let’s hope the final sub is Nuttall or Brereton and not Conway

An even more blatant second yellow after Nyambe hauled back and no yellow Crazy

Well done from Tony making the change, he couldn’t get Nyambe changed quick enough!

Travis could have been sent off there Mowbray bringing him off for Nyambe now

Just hope the eventual sub isn’t Conway

Much better start to this half cracking ball from Travis to set up a chance followed by the most obscure offside decision I’ve seen
