I suspected Williams place may have been in jeopardy had we not been playing Swindon. Looked like he needed to rest and regroup.

We'll need to start as we finished on Saturday to get a result out of this one. I hope Chaplow contributes the same level of performance otherwise, we could be very disjointed.

Go out there boys and play like you look as though you enjoy playing football. Work hard, keep the ball moving and you'll reap the rewards.

COYR!

If Middleton us taking on the Keegan role I hope he has learned to tackle.
Recently he has been showing that he has no appetite for that part of the game.
Chaplow and Grant need to be able to get forward when the opportunity arises.
Neither if them is suitable for the anchor role.

Any game where we pick up no points makes the season that bit tougher.

I still maintain we need to do our own thing,..  Who else was feeling smug towards the end of the Leicester game when Birmingham were then losing 2-0?

We need to beg borrow or steal some points from somewhere...

I was at Leicester and was feeling smug when Birmingham were 2-0 down.
When it went to 2-2 i realised that other results were important to us.

I am not blind to the other results affecting our position, but we should be looking to help ourselves, and therefore what happens elsewhere becomes less relevant.

Different story had we won one more game that season!

Anyway, at some point in time we need more points of our own.  If not tonight, try again on Saturday.  If we can't win any more games we'll deserve to go down.

Daft thing is the same bunch of players were doing fine up to the Stoke game. So they are good enough aren't they?

Such is the beautiful game. I wouldn't have it any other way. Rovers are my team whatever division they are in. If we go down, we go down.

I don't think we will go down though. I seriously don't. I have confidence in Fergie to keep us in L1 then rebuild over the Summer.

Does anyone moaning about "cost cutting" actually have any evidence?

It is realistic to say we are in the midst of a relegation battle and need to find match winning form to save our season.

Folks saying words to the effect that we are already down, or will be if we lose on Saturday, now that is doom mongering.

FWIW I think we have the quality to stay up, reasonable comfortably, but the form needs to change!
