Just Downing for a year ideally. It would be ludicrous to give Graham another deal imo, he's already had one year too many. I find it extremely worrying that all these players have been offered extensions. It smacks of we won't be able to bring anyone else in for next season and they'll all be offered longer extensions once these short term ones expire

Wash your mouth out young chadders. Worst keeper I've seen in a Rovers shirt apart from maybe Alan Fettis. At least "Dracula" John Butcher (afraid of crosses) was a reasonable shot stopper!

Our dillying and dallying might bizarrely work in our favour if the unthinkable happens and we sneak up via the play offs. We'd be looking at a totally different calibre of replacement across the board.

I'll be eating an extremely large helping of humble pie if he takes us up via the play offs. I still don't actually think that will happen (although I'd desperately like to be proved wrong) and I think this is a massive sliding doors moment for Mowbray. If he takes us up, what can you say? Brilliant job. If we tail off a bit and end the season without ever having been in or without ever having seriously threatened the play off positions, then I don't think that's good enough. Of far greater concern still imo is the state he's left the squad in. We're in the mire as far as FFP is concerned because he's wasted £12m on two strikers who haven't performed thus far. We need one if not two centre halves next season, we don't even own a first choice keeper and arguably only have one passable forward. So far too early to say TM has done a great job. Ironically if we can scrape up he'll get away with his previous recruitment because we'll have the funds to rebuild.

The slip by Brereton was so cruel on him given his history here to date. If he'd been the only player to slip yesterday maybe you could say it was typical of his time here but so many players were slipping in the second half I think you can put it down to rank bad luck. I don't know why we water and water the pitch when it doesn't really need it. We water it heavily at HT in winter when its chucking it down with rain as well.

Wonder if that keeper from Sunderland is available now? Has to be an improvement on Walton even if he's only average.

Needs must on a (hopefully) temporary basis but I actually enjoyed today's game more than most this season. If it's deemed necessary in general to be ridiculously over cautious going forward then there's nothing we can do about it but as far as the football is concerned, if it has to be behind BCD then bring it on as far as I'm concerned.

Thought it was really harsh on Brereton to be subbed, make your decisions on what's happening on the pitch not because you've decided before the game to replace the entire forward line on 65. Other than that I thought it was one of the best performances of the season considering the enforced break. Walton and Gallagher were awful but we knew that already. Results went really well for us today as well. I Even liked the faces in the crowd. There in spirit if not in person.

Too many. Seems like a Danny Graham lookalike contest. Thank goodness for the well groomed Downing. ?

On the ifollow front my mate's son has linked his laptop up to their oled TV and it's a cracking picture. Not had any problemswith the feed at all. Sympathy to everyone who's been having problems.

Reasonably encouraging first half. Gallagher terrible as always, thought Brereton looked decent. Would like to see a lot more from Holtby. Difficult to see how we'll ever do anything with that dolloper in the nets though.

Walton strikes again. Worst I've seen in a Rovers shirt apart from maybe Alan Fettis. It's ok now though, playing quite well overall.

Thank you. Definitely not the fault of the ladies on the phones by the sound of it. The code works too! Just had a quick look at a match highlight and the picture quality on my laptop is better than I was expecting. We'll see what it's like on a match day with everyone logging in.

Wow, rang the Club, got straight through amazingly and the nice lady on the phone gave me the code straightaway. She said a lot of people hadn't had their code for some reason and there was another lady on the e-mails who'd been in since 07.30 this morning trying to get through all the queries. Blood pressure back to normal, well done to those 2 ladies doing their best to sort out this bloody mess.

No code received. E-mailed the Club before 9a.m. this morning as instructed on the Club website at tickets@rovers.co.uk and not had any sort of response whatsoever. Not even an e-mail to indicate there is any sort of problem. Not happy at all. Appalling customer service. Also bought a "face in the crowd" to help the Club out and won't even get to see that. Have had about 6 e-mails from them since placing the order just before 1800 last night to indicate the progress with the order, Rovers can't even generate an automated e-mail to acknowledge receipt of mine. Whether or not they subsequently bother to reply.

Where's this come from? Is this for everyone in all four divisions? Most managers under Venky's especially Mowbray and our alleged insider at the Club Paul Mani who pops up every transfer window have always said the owners never refuse funding when asked. If FFP is to be completely abolished for 12 months with no future comeback or strings attached then if the funding and the willingness really was there the thing to do would be to spend massively now and get everyone in you need for the forseeable future, and make sure hardly anyone was needed when the rules did come back into effect. We shall see. Not really holding my breath.

I do have an e-mail but thanks for the advice. If nothing comes in the morning I'll attempt to ring the Club.

If I ever get a code, do you have to sign up for I follow separately?

It was more a case of I didn't know if I automatically had some sort of my Rovers account as a ST holder and didn't know where to look. I assume that if like me you had never had any need to make any online purchases you won't have one. I managed to check this by putting in my e-mail address and usual password into the log in section and it said the e-mail address wasn't recognised. Go to Rovers.co.uk and click on the drop down menu options square in the top right hand corner of the screen. Select "My account" at the bottom of the drop down options and register for a new account giving all your personal details. (I kept having to redo this as my computer was selecting autofill options and putting the wrong things in the wrong boxes.) When you've put your e - mail address in and completed the registration Rovers will send you an e-mail with a link which you have to click on to activate your account. You then have to update your account preferences and the final step is to click on a '"link account" tab to connect the new account you've just created to your season ticket. If you've done it right your ST number should come up on screen. I did all this on Wednesday afternoon but haven't received a code as yet. Apologies for boring all the techies.

Thanks. No spam folder on my mobile, have checked my laptop and it doesn't seem to be in there.

I've not had my code yet, I'm in the category of "think I have successfully set up my account but missed the Tuesday deadline".

I agree. I managed to sign up for an account (just) but in general people who are tech savvy vastly overestimate the ability of people who aren't. Rovers for instance said something like "Go to your my Rovers account and make sure your details are updated and that your ticketing account is linked to your online account". Having managed to do it eventually I now understand what was meant but before I'd completed the task you might as well have been speaking a foreign language. What should have been provided was a set of step by step instructions. Go to Rovers. co .uk click on the my account tab at the top or bottom of the page and if you haven't got an account already, open one by clicking this option then complete said boxes then choose that option to link your my Rovers account to your season ticket etc etc.

Watching the Villa/Sheff Utd. game the goal line technology obviously needs a good service. Or the system doesn't work if the keeper has hold of the ball. What a joke.

Surely though the whole point of testing is that everyone can be retested again in 2-3 days and only those who are positive need to self isolate and the rest are clear to play and can carry on as normal. If the number of positive tests was substantial enough on retest (presumably a sort of number that has previously been discussed between the Clubs )then that might be grounds for the Club in question to request a postponement. We'd never get restarted if we go to ground everytime there's the odd positive test, 8 positives out of over 2200 tests carried out isn't pad at all imo.

Cheers. After numerous false starts have just just registered for a my Rovers account, updated my preferences and linked my season ticket. We'll see if I get my code. I'll be fuming if I dont get it because of the arbitrary deadline they didn't tell anyone about. Don't fancy my chances of getting sorted via the e-mail address given if the code doesn't arrive. Now then whether to spend £45 on a cut out before 6p.m tomorrow....... Might scare off the opposition. ?
