Need to see the three goals again, couldn’t quite see from all the salty tear water, but Mulgrew defiantly didn’t cover himself in glory for the 1st or 3rd.

You could drop either Mulgrew or Lenihan. No arguments for either. Williams should be left back in the changing rooms along with Smallwood. Would be chuffed to see neither in a rovers shirt again.

Yeah it certainly looks that way. Dack is off in my opinion. Perhaps that is the reason for this complete capitulation of team spirit. Body language is just shocking from him at times.

Charlie’s legs have gone. Looks like a 45 year old after 70mins

Nice touch Derrick, good job. Fucking plonker

Buckle up boys. We are in for a relegation fight

Fucking shocking from Raya

Can we be anymore pedestrian in possession. Never a red card, ref was dying to even it up.

Really, everytime Rothwell cuts inside he looks dangerous. thats a red card

Good half. Took some notes. - Would love a Jack O’Conell in a Rovers shirt - Travis brining mobility and energy to midfield - I am fine with either Smallwood or Evans, never both. - Palmer doing really well, big sting and skillful. Tracking back really well too. Impressed. - Much better Fromm lenihan. - if we calm splash 7m on Brereton, I would pay the same for Reed. What a player. - the left back Stevens for them is a nightmare. - Reed is unbelievable, don’t remember a better all round midfielder in a rovers shirt. - Brereton should have scored but has done well up front. Learned a few arse tricks from Graham by the looks of things. - Bennett scares the shit out of me. A goal is coming from that side. - really close a few times on the break, ball just getting nicked at the last minute.

Raya Travis Lenihan Mulgrew Bell ———Evans——Reed———— Palmer——-Dack——-Rothwell —————Graham—————- Edit: Travis in for Nyambe

All reports from the Valley seem to suggest he is a monster centre half that seems to be about their best player every week. They also have a really good central midfielder called Joe Aribo. Both him and Bauer contracts are expiring in the summer. Cheeky double swoop. I know the last thing we need is another central midfielder on the books but apparently he is quality

Fair assessment. But plugged into centre midfield, with zero match fitness, on a huge pitch against the best team in the league is a rough shift. Smallwood did have a bit of an impact when he came on, all deep in our own half...

Been along time since I felt physically sick after watching a game of football. Was excited with the lineup as I was convinced it was 3-5-2 with wingbacks, then Armstrong started right mid....... Not putting this on Mowbray. If a 39 year old Charlie Mulgrew and an international player like Lenihan don’t know how to see a game out then they must be thicker than two short planks. I’ll start with Lenihan, starting to think he might be totally shit. Liability in the air, and prone to a clanger. He should be heading those crosses into row Z. Has struggled big time this year. Can’t believe people are starting on Rothwell. I thought he looked terrific when he came on. He needs playing every week from the start. Leeds had a long way to go when the picked up the lose pass. Williams, just simply a poor footballer who wouldn’t get in any other teams in the championship. Evans did okay, without being spectacular. He played an embarrassing ball through to graham, on a decent break away in the first half. Criminal. Rodwell was okay, but struggled athletically on a big pitch. Smallwood did well when he came on, but still a bench player for me. Nyambe was good again I thought. Did his best. Bell was poor, squad player on a good day, not starting left winger at a club with top 6 aspirations. Graham held the ball up really well again, but I’m afraid that’s all he is really doing now. Dack, second half, probably had his best half of football since Sheff Wed. Wonder if Leeds have the cash for him?? Mowbray needs a mean centre half in january, a left back, winger and a striker. Get Rothwell, Reed and Dack in the same team and work around that.

We are terrible. Brace yourself for a long winter in the doledrums.

Fine now, but was skipping the first 10mins. Normally is fine Thanks

Anyone else having serious issues with ifollow today?

Looks like Tony has been back on this message board. Few of us asking for the wing back formation with Dack in midfield, and two up top. Well it looks like that’s what we are getting today. Smallwood dropped thank god. I don’t have any problem with Dack coming deeper to get on the ball when we have two up top.

Loved it. The boy Bain was a bit strange. Coleman came across well if a bit of a wannabe. Kit Symons hinging on his coattails!!

Yeah this looks good to me. I want to see the wing back 3-5-2 formation, Tony has used it in the past. The lack of out and out wingers means we should be focusing the ball through the middle of the park. For me Dack should be at top of the 3 man midfield diamond, and then pick one of Brereton or Armstrong to partner Graham up top. Armstrong is a different player when he is played on the last man through the middle. Behind Dack you have Reed and Rothwell, Reed is the holding midfielder and Rothwell is your box to box guy, that will get forward and be positive with the ball. We already have 5 defenders on the park so you don’t need Smallwood in there. The midfielders can look like everyone else’s midfielders for a change, supporting the attack and getting in the box. Bell and Nyambe have the energy for the wingback spots. Thought they both had good games on Saturday. At the back I would give Rodwell another go, he played well vs Bolton, and hasn’t played much since. We will be lumping it up to Graham and over the top for Arma anyway, so Rodwell has a decent long pass and is solid in the air. Lenihan and Charlie either side.

Yep, I had Nyambe and Bell as the best two players for us on Saturday.

I think our first 11 is lacking, say nothing for the bench.

Is Leeds game on Ifollow in boxing’s day??

Swap the Nutt for him and get this lad some time with the under 23s.

That was terrible, we had it coming all game long. Get Smallwood out the starting 11 immediately. Turned inside out on numerous occasions, just not athletic or talented enough. So poor going forward. Felt sorry for Nyambe, busted his ass to make something happen all second half then the goal comes from him being out of position. Thought Bell was excellent today. Everyone else but Nyambe and Bell were poor for me and we got what we deserved. i want a change of formation more than anything else.
