Agree with others - get Ayala on. Steady head needed.

Get in there lads!!!!

Boro doing a proper warm up routine while our lot are preparing like a shite U12s side.

How is Mowbray watching this and not thinking Johnson and Edun need changing? Difference in managerial ability that Wilder is getting every attack down that side.

Edun skinned from a standstill and it should have been a penalty for Boro.

Well we’ve done everything bar putting the ball in the net. Buckley is having an excellent first 30, we’re getting a lot of space in behind their midfield. Edun is the worry for me. He cannot defend at all.

Good early shithousing from Travis

Feels like a massive game for us. Win and we're looking ahead to the Top 2 again. Lose and momentum is gone, and we'll have QPR 2 points behind with 2 games in hand. Just hope Tony doesn't tinker with it too much. Go back to the successful formation. Nyambe back in and a holding midfielder (ideally Travis).

Cannot believe how many teams I'm seeing with Gallagher in them above. Did none of you watch us on Wednesday?

Do we have any idea when he might be back in a squad? Yesterday felt like a game where we missed his energy and creativity.

If you think the 6 are bad then don’t look at 7, 8 and 9 (Sheff Utd (A), QPR (H) and Fulham (A))

The curse of the sponsor. Bring back recoverite!!!

The bad news is we have 2 more games with Gally starting coming up

Johnson touched the ball yet?

Johnson over Davenport hahaha he’s trolling us now

The bloody referees. He shouldn’t be allowed another Championship match all season. They never get punished for their incompetence

He’s in the stand watching. Easy team talk for him: “Get at their wing backs”

I’ll be amazed if he makes any changes at HT, or before 55 mins even.

Exactly this. He does everything that Gallagher should, be surprised if he’s even on half the wage too

First 25 mins was as bad as I can remember. JRCs first game back but he looks well off the pace. Never the less, a blatant penalty turned down and a sitter off the line. We just need to up the tempo. They have bloody Smallwood in midfield for god sake. We’re missing Travis in there. We have a huge gap between midfield and defence. Championship refs are so so bad. Its week after week now across the league. Shambolic

Link to the 538 final table prediction here: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/soccer-predictions/championship/ It would certainly make that Rovers v Bournemouth penultimate match of the season a real treat. £10 a ticket and chuck their fans in the upper tier of the Darwen! 79 feels like a realistic total, but it's only achieved automatics twice since this division became 'The Championship'.

“Browne isn’t ready yet” - based on your scouting of the Irish league no doubt He’s a right back whose played football all his life. He’s more ready to play a 3rd round fa cup tie against Wigan there than Dolan is at right wing back

Jesus that’s bad. I still have memories of Reid’s screamer and Roques hat-trick. Maybe they were the last wins!

Regardless of Dolans talent / non-talent. Who the hell would play him as a wing back? Not quite Gallagher right back levels but not far off. (Didn’t watch the match so it’s a blind comment)

First match I’ve missed for a while, though I’ve seen the Pears clips. I’ll skip over that as everyone is in agreement. I just can’t believe that starting line up. I’d love a cup run don’t get me wrong, if you’d asked me over the last 5 years or so when we seem to exit 3rd round but also be sat 12th in the league. But why the hell is he playing Brereton over Butterworth or Lenhian over Carter/Magloire or Travis over Johnson etc etc etc. Disappointing result, maybe a blessing in disguise though I never want to see us lose. Silly from Mowbray risking so many of our first 11 and pathetic “hands tied” comments afterwards
