Ffs you are saying he has done nothing this season when he did play well in the first 3 matches only someone with an agenda or doesn't have a clue about how the game is played would suggest otherwise. You also keep calling him a striker when he never plays up front.He was involved in goals in our first 3 matches,his runs opened space for others and he does have an assist when he Unfortunately hit the post. IV said he is never a 7 million man but he played well in the first 3 games has been shit in the last 2 games but so have the majority of the rest of the team including Armstrong and Dolan

Ridiculous response.So missing about 6 players that potentially start doesn't make a difference. You think other clubs wouldn't struggle with that amount out? Ok so we might aswell forget about the rest of the season so because you are basically saying the players returning and due to come into the side won't make a difference

Why are you mentioning Brereton in that post.They don't play the same position. And like I said in a previous post when every body fit it will be Armstrong, Dack, Elliot as the front 3. Brereton doesn't play as a striker for us.He was ok v Bournemouth,better at Wycombe and excellent at Derby.Been poor the last 2 games but so has Dolan and Armstrong. Breretons runs and general play led to goals in the Wycombe and Derby matches. I find it pretty pathetic your obsession with Brereton, he didn't put the 7 million price tag on his head, didn't force Mowbray to pay it, as far as I'm aware he has never bigged himself up but this season at least he has been trying.And whatever you say he did play well in the first 3 games, last 2 games not many have played well

Did the manager not make four signings on deadline day? He obviously feels there are areas that need addressing. A team consisting of Douglas, Armstrong,Dack, Elliot, Dolan ,Rothwell and Holtby will create chances. I'm not the manager's biggest fan but crikey look at the amount of players unavailable today, we are analysing a midfield that barring an injury crisis I would put money on them not starting all together again.

My god.Do you think we will line up with a midfield 3 of Johnson, Evans and Buckley many times this season. When you saw Evans and Johnson together in the starting line up did you think we were likely to create a lot of chances today? Do you not think that players such as Dack, Elliot, Rothwell and Holtby would have made a difference today? Douglas coming in at left back ,do you not think his wand of a left foot will aid us in creating chances? We were poor today no doubt but is it just me that can see the amount of players missing from the squad today?

When Dack is back a front 3 of Armstrong Dack Dolan/Elliot should pose a threat to any team. A 3 of Rothwell, Trybull/Johnson/Travis when he is back and Holtby should create chances. I'm not Mowbray's biggest fan and this bringing Gallagher on out wide has to stop but today he does have a genuine excuse with our non performance with the amount of players that were unavailable. Any team in the division would struggle with that list of absentee's

We had a load of players unavailable today.Trybull and Elliot have not joined to sit on the bench.Holtby Rothwell and Dack to come back also. Elliot has been signed to play,Dack and Armstrong certain starters. Brereton and Gallagher don't play as strikers for us.I don't think Brereton will ever be a 7 million man but think he has something to offer just not goals. The lads who have been signed will come into the team and Rothwell and Holtby will play also.Both of them where missed big time today . Johnson and Evans shouldn't play in the same team together.For me Evans shouldn't play at all and don't think he will play much .Why Davenport wasn't loaned out or sold is beyond me.Mowbray can't rate him

Agree with Gallagher but I think Brereton has looked ok this season not a 7 million man ,not today tho but again we had no creativity in the 3 behind.Armstrong was crap today aswell but I don't blame him Johnson, Evans and Buckley showed nothing. In fairness Brereton hasnt started many matches for rovers and Mowbray has had no problem leaving him out so don't agree with your point that Mowbray shoehorns him in or will start him every week because of his fee

We must have given Liverpool some guarantee that Elliot will get minutes otherwise he wouldn't be here on loan. You think Dack won't start when he comes back? Evans will play when Trybull is available? Holtby won't start? Rothwell?

Yeah I do believe they will make a difference. Hard to play a similar style as we did in the Bournemouth, Wycombe, and Derby matches when we are missing Holtby who makes us tick and Rothwell who gives drive from the midfield. Evans and Johnson together no creativity.Buckley was shit.So no midfield at all today so yes the returning players and new signings will make a difference

So you are no longer excited about the new signings and don't think they will add anything to the team?Or the return of Dack Talk about an over reaction Its a dissapointing result but I will say again we have a load of players to come into the match day squad that were not available today. We were never going to create loads of chances with both Evans and Johnson poor and Buckley didn't take his chance and was poor

Ffs

Whatever about the Cardiff game but we were obviously not going to create much today without Rothwell and Holtby out.Evans and Johnson playing in the same midfield doesn't scream creativity.We needed Buckley to have a good game unfortunately he didn't. In a couple of games time our team will be totally different

It isn't rubbish

Obviously don't know how the transfer market works do you then? Unfortunately we weren't in a position to pay what clubs ask for like the manager said as the deadline draws closer selling club more open to negotiation.

Because they ain't match fit perhaps.Only Douglas and Trybull where registered in time.Douglas has played 1 caraboa cup match and Trybull hasn't any minutes

We have Douglas,Trybull, Holtby , Rothwell, Dack, Elliot , Travis,Williams potentially Downing all to come back into the team/squad. Name me another team who would still look their best with that many players out .

Ah come on.So if we don't get 3 points today that is us out of the play off race? We are missing half a team and we are playing an expensive side with a new manager

And rightly so in this instance Trybull hasn't played this season,Douglas has played once.They both only joined just before cut off yesterday

And Nyambe and Lenihen are good players for this level and as has been pointed out we have bought a new left back.So what's the problem?

You have a problem with Lenihen and Nyambe now?

Evans, Lenihen and Buckley start.No Rothwell,no now signing in the squad.brennan on the bench

No mention of Rothwell being out in the lancs telegraph live feed?

Sharpe said on twitter that the Downing deal isn't costly.Must be coming in on reduced terms

It was one random bloke on the rovers supporters FB page that said Rothwell was out with Covid symptoms. If true then surely Sharpe would have reported it by now
