I would be wary of discounting QPR. They are the in-form team currently, and if they win their game in hand they'll only be a point behind us. Let's see where we end up after the Fulham game. A very difficult run of games coming up for us. If we're still top 2 or thereabouts come March, I think we should be nailed on for promotion..

I laughed out loud when I saw that Bournemouth’s 3rd bid for Rothwell was a pitiful £2m. How low were the first 2? Bournemouth can go do one.

Is this game also not streaming on RoversTV in Australia?

Can’t see us winning here, but Brereton being out may be a blessing in disguise. He has been poor in the last few games and maybe a fresh approach will get results tonight. Time for Gallagher and Butterworth to step up.

He’s made more goal contributions than any other player this season other than Rothwell and Brereton. How can you say he hasn’t made a positive difference? I feel sorry for the guy because his season has been broken up by injury. He needs a stable run in the side and just like Brereton I’m sure he will kick on.

Relieving to get the 3 points, but we've bee noticeably really poor in the last few games, which is a bit of a worry. Maybe injection of new blood in this window will improve things.

Bournemouth level now.

Nice shot from Brereton...

We really do look dreadful at the minute.

3 more goals and we will be top of the league.

If the scores stay this way, I won't be that upset I haven't been able to watch the game!

Tbf I haven't really had many issues with RoversTV this season - I think there were issues with the 1st game of the season from what I can recall. I had just as many issues with iFollow (if not more) last season.

Getting gateway timeouts on my end as well

He should have really been saving the 3rd as well.

What a farce of a game. But on one hand I'm glad the game is over now, so I can go to bed. I don't think I could take another half an hour of this...

We're only doing so well in the league because of our stable backline. Pears, Dolan, Johnson, Edun - all not really good enough. Van Hecke isn't good enough to be on the ball, has to play in the center. Ayala the only one with any shred of dignity right now.

If anything, this game is showing that we have a serious lack of depth in the squad. Dolan can't play RB, Johnson and Van Hecke can't play the ball-playing defender role, Pears can't keep.

Wow, just wow.

Brereton has been unbelievably poor today.

Not sure how it's still 0-0, we are dominant here but can't score.

Wow - had no idea Channel 10 was streaming FA cup games now. That's new! Thanks a lot for the tip - already got an account anyway so all good.

Will this be showing on the Rovers site for international viewers?

It will be interesting to see how Mowbray starts responding when things stop going our way. In a way we've been quite fortunate that the current setup is working and there hasn't been any reason to tweak things. However, as we saw against Huddersfield... some teams are very hard to breakdown.

I think Bucko came in for some criticism last year because he was quite light weight and got brushed off the ball too easily. That criticism was absolutely fair IMO, but this season it was noticeable that he had bulked up quite a bit and the biggest improvement in his game has been the crunching tackles he's been putting in. His bravery, strength and defensive play has all improved substantially this season and that is allowing his talent to flourish. I don't think there was any doubt of his technical ability and creativity, but you can't create much if the opposition is shoving you to the ground as soon as you get the ball. So he deserves massive credit for addressing those weak points to become a key player for us now. Hopefully he keeps going from strength to strength!

We should be 4 or 5 goals up by now but instead find ourselves drawing. Annoying that our clean sheet streak has been broken.
