That was a penalty to Rovers- nothing given.

Back to being an absolute pain being a Rovers supporter. PNE are nothing special but Santa Mowbray has come to town.

We will be very fortunate to get anything out of this game now.

Bennalty to PNE0

We are all over the shop and nothing from the touchline.

Oh fiddlesticks. Didn't defend that at all. 1-2

Should have scored there- both Dack and williams could have done better

Great to be leading- as has been pointed out, pretty well every player is in their best position. Still think we have better who are fit than this XI and theoretically a much better side when all are fit again. If played in correct positions.

Gallagher took that really well but brilliant through ball from Dack.

Gallagher scores for us

Chapman is in neither senior nor under 21 squads today.----

might work, might not..

Even with our injury list, that isn't our best starting eleven. Just looks like a desperate pick 'n mix selection.

Extraordinarily dominant England performance. Two tries (rightly) struck off and three kicks at goal incredibly narrowly missed and the All Blacks' only score was an England gift.

This is off the planet insensitive and stupid. It is a local derby FFS. And if PNE are stronger than us, there is only one person who has achieved that given the resources at his disposal- a certain Mr Tony Mowbray. I would take our squad over PNE's on balance but their manager over our's.

Character on the football pitch predominantly comes from a sense of togetherness for the common cause... That needs creating before we see real bodies on the line commitment to scoring in the 95th minute through force if will

As posted on the Brum thread, the players don't need to say anything. That performance says everything we need to know that Mowbray has lost them.

Mowbray has lost the players. They don't need to say anything. That performance said it all.

Barnsley two up at West Brom. The bottom is coming up to meet us,.

According to texts at least we are shooting tonight.

Agreed- nothing coming through at all

I have absolutely no doubt we have plans and ambitions. Problem is we are not executing against them. It all feels very stale under Mowbray and it is awful when 3 of our 5 defeats can be laid squarely at the Manager's door- wrong selection, wrong formation, wrong tactics, wrong subs. Arguably he totally messed up his instructions to the defence first half at WBA but that was probably a collective players' brain freeze. I am struggling to think the last time when Mowbray picked a team and formation I feel is the best XI we have available- does anyone agree with Mowbray's selections??? I can remember one or two occasions when Mowbray picked an unexpected XI and tactics last season which proved remarkably right in hindsight so those were 3 points gained by the Manager but so far as I am concerned points lost by the Manager are in double figures so far this season. OK losing football but is it watchable? Hell no! Waggott is on a total loser trying to boost the club with what is happening on field at present.

If we keep on losing every third game purely through managerial incompetence we are going to be sweating badly at the wrong end of the table.

I have no doubt about the ambition at Rovers. I have a lot of doubts about our capability of realising it.
