Seems odd to have Chapman back on the bench today but no defenders, be surprised if he gets on before Buckley, JRC, Graham and Brereton

This is bonkers, ability and performance levels, sure they can be debated. How can a matter of fact and the position he’s been played be debated? No ifs, no buts, no coconuts he’s played on the wing most of the season

Gallagher scoring is nailed on today

He’ll score tomorrow and then People will criticise Rich more

Seems like good timing, we scored a few in his absence then he comes back into the team and we looked devoid of creativity. Seems fair to ask if we are getting the best from him

Is Carter any good? Is he currently better than Mulgrew? If Charlie doesn’t make the bench it’s obvious it’s for non footballing reasons

*ctrl F* “must win” We are slacking this morning chaps

Rich has been quiet since, wonder if the paper told him to go low for a while

Rovers players warming up v Swansea

Lol standing up for him, there’s nothing to stand up for! If the article was that heinous why didn’t all these fans giving it ‘YES DANNY’ mention anything to Rich before that?

Pathetic from Graham, they are getting paid silly money and whilst I never condone any sort of personal attack or abuse they are fair game for constructive criticism

The rovers website hailed the inspired keeping of Butland, he didn’t do anything I wouldn’t expect Jake Kean to do

Whilst I think it’s two points clearly dropped again I think we’ll know more after Saturday With the last two fixtures and this weekends we will have had one really tough game on paper and two where you would definitely want 3 points, Preston one where you would want to win and 2 stinkers. Currently they have 3 points from those games whilst we have 2, I think it’s key that after Saturday we have closed the gap so nothing less than a win will be good enough and would likely result in a 1 or 2 point swing over the 3 games. If we finish the week 3 points or more behind Preston then it will have been a bit of a failure of a week for me. I don’t think Stoke really parked the bus last night and probably looked the more likely to score for most of the first half, second they were happy with a point but we didn’t do nearly enough to put that in jeopardy. Saturday will be more open and can see us scoring 2 or 3 but we will be exposed at the other end as well, Ayew is always capable of giving you a tough time when on form.

Funny how we all see it different, Bell was one of our better players for me, put 4-5 really decent balls into good areas that just weren’t attacked and won a few corners on top. Both he and Nyambe looked our most likely route to something happening

Their 26 against a booked Lenihan is a worry; he’s a real handful

Need to wake up here they were sleeping then, shocking defending followed by an equally bad clearance from the keeper a minute or two ago as well Read the game well there though

Daft daft booking for Darragh, clear as day and he had cover

Snow falling in cherry tree Doubt there will be nearly enough to jeopardise the game but it’s going to be a minging walk down!

Chance to go above Bristol and within 2 of Preston and Brentford. Could shape the rest of the season this one

Tonight has gone a bit too perfectly Win tomorrow and I’ll be worried I may need to cancel that holiday in May!

Brentford and Preston losing, full time now please

He’s playing well at the moment for sure, not sure if he’s improving or just in a good spell of form we’ll see over the rest of the season, I said earlier I’d have him as backup but at the moment he’s Certainly looking better than that. Certainly wouldn’t want just him and Leutwiler as our senior keepers next season though stronger competition would be needed.

By the same metric you could ‘prove’ there’s was a penalty by showing that two of ours put their arms on their guy impeding him. The above is nonsense but there is no proving either way, it’s a non issue though both were soft and both were given

And another loss for Bolton, shame

The Preston result puts a dampener on the day but this was our toughest game for a few whilst theirs are to come
