Kaminski going off injured. Pears coming on.

Khadra!! Get in.

Big game feel about today, even though we're only in November. A win would be massive psychologically, getting one over a rival and putting us in the mix. Can we finally pull a win out against a decent side when the top 6 is in sight? It's still a tough game even with their injury issues so I wouldn't be unhappy with a point. Turn up for one half only, like we have done recently and we will likely come away with nothing. 1-1.

Diaz just doesn't look like missing when clean through. It's a delight to see the turnaround. That was clinical from him. He could reach 20 before mid December at this rate.

Our midfield is too easy to bypass. That's a big problem. 3-0 up but looking ragged since the restart.

2-0. A gift from the Posh defender. That should be that.

Brilliant header!

All of the red button games are available to watch on the Sky App. This is according to the listings on Sky's website.

It's on the red button. Sky are showing Bristol City v Stoke as their live game on Sky Sports Football and Main Event.

Couldn't agree more. What good is it to reflect now and blame themselves, when they downed tools and couldn't be bothered when it really mattered? It always winds me up seeing players apologising on twitter and posting things like "we're desperate to put it right in the next game". Bennett was bad for it. Just bloody do it on the pitch. I'm glad there was none of the social media crap around when we had real players like Tugay, Duffer and co. We were able to enjoy it without any of the false online posts.

Yes, Diaz! Time for a winner yet.

We're bringing Leighton Clarkson on. What is going on?

Poveda off on a stretcher. Ayala coming on.

The table doesn't look too bad at the moment and we have two winnable games coming up. We know what that usually means, but a win today would set us up nicely for Peterborough. Bristol City aren't the side they were a couple of seasons ago and have struggled so far this season. They've lost key players in Nagy, Pack, Eliasson and Diedhiou and haven't replaced them properly by the looks of it. They are there for the taking today. I'm expecting Ayala, Pickering and Dolan to come back into the 11, with Wharton, Edun and Khadra dropping to the bench. If we show the same intent as we did against Sheff United we should beat these. COYB.

What a day that was. For a promoted side to go and win a cup in their first season back was some achievement. There's next to no chance of a promoted side doing that these days. One word to sum up that period of time. Exciting. The players we had, the football we were playing. The whole ride to the final was exciting. Thumping Arsenal along the way, the two games against Sheff Wednesday in the Semis. Talking of that Semi final, I've posted the highlights below just to look back on. Two moments of real quality from those ties: Dunny's pass at 1:38. Also, the move for Cole's goal in the return leg. Starts at 3:34 of the clip below. Brilliant. The commentator sums it up perfectly.

I feel something is about to happen too. Remember Jim White, the day after Coyle was sacked going on a little tirade on Talksport repeatedly saying "Venky's, we're coming for you" and expressing sympathy for Coyle. It was nothing but hot air, he was never going to do anything. That felt suspect too, like he had been told to go after the owners. Unsurprisingly, that tirade was forgotten about a day or two later and nothing happened.

Now I know how the United fans felt seeing Conte go to Spurs whilst they decided to keep hold of Ole.

Thanks for the info, Paul. I'm honestly not that bothered about Lenihan leaving. I've wanted him to be replaced for a long time by a proper centre back. It would be good if the other two sign up. Let's see what happens.

Winning is the name of the game and I'm happy to see us bounce back with a good win. Freshening up the attack and midfield worked well, so fair play to Mowbray for getting it right today. Look at what can happen when we play actual wingers in their rightful positions. We've wasted so much time playing Diaz and Gallagher out wide and just in general through needless tinkering. We've got to stick with today's formation for a few games at the least. I hope this is the start of Poveda's loan spell with us. I was excited about him signing as there is a player in there. It's taken him a bit of time, but he's starting to look good now.

Brilliant! I was hoping Khadra and Poveda would step up for us at some stage and they have today. This will be a good three points for us, as long as we don't do anything silly in the remaining minutes, of course.

That lineup feels like something from Football Manager. Get thrashed in the previous game, so next game make as many desperate changes as you can in the hope it works out. I'm interested to see what Khadra and Poveda can do today. We've not seen much of Khadra yet. Maybe they can surprise us.

Ah ok, I stand corrected.

That has done me in at this late hour. A belter 😂.

Really pleased that we got to see a player of his calibre play for us. He always has nice things to say about Rovers. Plus, he was one of very few to speak up on our behalf amidst the chaos. Fair play, Michel.

It's the backlash online that has wound him up. He's preparing those fans you mention in the ground to stand up against anybody who calls him out. "Tell them to shut up". The narrative is already being set that anybody who doesn't get behind this young side and criticises Mowbray isn't a proper fan. That's where the division aspect of it comes into it.
