It's fa cup this weekend no championship till weekend after

Suprised Downing wasn't brought in today. Elliot has looked like he needs a rest

I wouldn't say Rooney is flopping at the minute, seems to be doing well. Lampard an example of a big name rookie who did well at this level. Personally I wouldn't want Terry, the incidents with Ferdinand and and messing around with Wayne Bridges Mrs puts me off him. Pulis and the Cowley brothers a no from me aswell, we don't have the type of players that suit those managers and tactics certainly in the case of Pulis. Don't think they will sack Mowbray anyway, although saying that it felt like Bowyer would never be sacked either and eventually he was potted

We had the option of another 12 months on his deal anyway so would have been under contract in the summer anyway

Great news.Nyambe next please

Campbell out for the season

Rothwell has talent but how many times last night did he get the ball with space in front of him and he didn't drive into it. I like Rothwell but he doesn't get the numbers a player with his attributes should and he does go missing an awful lot. I agree it looks like Mowbray harder on Rothwell but Rothwell has been here a few years now and is still doing the same old things in matches and his numbers in terms of goals and assists is terrible if we are going to be truthful. I know it's the in thing on here to blame everything on Mowbray but surely Rothwell should take some responsibility for his own performances.He is 25 years old and his career to date has been spent in league one and for the majority of his time here on the bench that isn't good enough for someone with his talent .

Rothwell should be considered a senior player.He wasn't as bad as Buckley last night but he still played crap. If you think Rothwell played well last night then I think it's you talking twonk. Rothwell has had plenty and plenty of chances and goes missing absolute loads.Like I have said the talent is clearly there but one goal or assist every 20 appearances isn't good enough for a player with his attributes

No you give it a rest with your weird obsession with younger players and being over critical. If you took the time to read my post I said clearly Rothwell is the better player but let's not pretend that Rothwell has been anything but average in his time here. Rothwell has talent no doubt about it but he is 25 and has spent his career in league 1 and the rest of the time on our bench mostly. Rothwell has not YET delivered on his promise the stats clearly prove that.A few nice dribbles and runs that lead to nothing isn't good play imo

Rothwell was poor by his standards last night.I obviously don't mean Buckley is better than Rothwell, but Buckley has had a handful of starts it shouldn't be up to him to take the game to Rotherham.Rothwell is a senior player and he was poor last night.

Buckley played well against QPR when he came on early. He was poor last night as he was against Forest, but Rothwell deserves more criticism than Buckley for last night and against Forest the senior players were poor aswell.

So I presume you would have been against Roy Keane coming here if we had ever had the chance to sign him again later on in his career? Plenty of players will have been open to move to clubs only to be made better offers at a higher level and choosing that option. Fair enough if you don't want him because he isn't good enough but the majority of players would have chosen West Brom over us in a similar circumstance

Ah come on, he has no affinity to Rovers, why would he have chosen us over a chance of playing in the premier league?Not to mention the higher wages he is most likely on? He backed his ability and thought he could break into the West Brom team.And who knows with the change of manager he might get more of an opportunity to play. If he is available on loan then surely it would be a no brainer to bring him in if we could?

He obviously was a good player his pedigree at this level isn't questionable I'm shocked at how poor he looks now though. Black mark against the manager and recruitment team if homework hadnt been done properly if his form doesn't improve dramatically

Ain't most teams up and down the country having similar issues with injuries? Whenever someone on here uses injuries as an excuse for our position we are told all teams are suffering the same?

Also against QPR the game he apparently he did nothing in he put in a lovely couple of balls into the box including one right on Lenihens head that led to Brereton's goal

He needs a chance to show If he can do it.If he isn't going to get a start at home against a team on paper we should comfortably finish ahead of in the table then when would be a good time to give him a chance? Yes he has looked mostly out of his depth but has shown flashes of real quality, players need more than 10 minutes here and there.Agreed hope he can show something tonight and not let the game pass him by.

Yes and Brereton was poor last season and the year before. Buckley had a bad game against Forest he should never start again?

Both

Yes I do appreciate where you and others are coming from but I have belief that I didn't have last season.I think there are more positives than negatives to be taken so far. Hopefully Watford beat Brentford tonight and QPR can get a homw win v stoke

I enjoy the new style as I got beyond bored with the sideways and backwards passing from seasons gone by and I do think attacking is playing to our strengths and when he tried to play a more defensive game results were inconsistent aswell. Although I thought on paper our recruitment was good in the summer, he should have brought in a left back with similar attributes to Nyambe and Nyambe should start every game he is available.Douglas has been poor so far and doesn't have the engine to get back when caught up the field. I don't think we are far away though and I wouldn't be thinking of sacking Mowbray yet.

No Trybull tomorrow night.Wouldnt be surprised to see Downing get a start

Mate all the team's haven't even played each other once ,some teams are still finding their way.No need for surges at this point as most teams are being inconsistent, Bristol beat us then go away to Rotherham and lose. A few week ago we had dropped down the table ,some on here were talking about relegation as a possibility we then went on an unbeaten run and were one win away from being in the top 6. Our next 5 are all winnable. As for not beating any of the top 6 above us it's obviously true but from watching the games we have competed well in the majority of them,Reading and Swansea being the exceptions.Im confident wins will come against the teams above us. Just think talk of the manager being sacked when only 6 points away is too much, fair enough if we were showing nothing in our matches.I would have sacked him last season as I didn't see any progress but I do now and he should be given the next 5 games imo and see where we are then leading into the January window

There are 18 games gone all the team's above us we have to play at least once again and the majority of them at home.Those teams have to play eachother aswell. 6 points at this stage of the season is nothing,one good week of 9 points that would potentially put us in the promotion places. It wouldn't need a surge to make up 6 points between now and the end of the season.I also think it won't take as many points to finish in the top 6 this year as it has in previous years.

The previous 2 years I may have agreed with you but we have played well in the majority of our games this season. 6 points off after playing 5 of the top 7 away from home.I haven't checked it out but I will be very surprised if the teams above us have had as tough of fixtures. And like I said the next 5 fixtures are favourable if we don't pick up a decent points return then I would look to change manager. I wanted him gone last season but my opinion is we are playing a lot better now and have a squad capable of challenging ,a squad Mowbray built.
