Tough game today. I hope the players take heart from the win there in August. I'm an optimist but I'm not too confident today I have to say.

Today's team, Copps on the bench and Lawlor still injured.

Toffolo has to step up today and show what he can do, not been an easy start to his time here. I guess Coppinger is on the bench because he played 90 minutes on Tuesday, which is a bit annoying as I felt he was pointless in the second half so could have come off earlier. But let's hope Rowe or Kongolo (probably Rowe) can shine in the advanced central position.

Blair isn't on the bench so must be injured or unwell. He's been one of our better performers in recent weeks and is a great outlet down the flank, so he's a miss for us.

Conceding from set pieces? Check.

Falling to bits as soon as we do concede? Check.

The patterns are emerging again. Can't keep doing the same things and expecting different results. Fergie retains my faith but he has to show now that he can stop being so stubborn and make the necessary alterations or else we are in the mire good and proper.

I’m unsure what Whiteman’s role is. He seems lost again. So many passes are hospital passes. Toffolo mapping for the first goal. Terrible marking for second. There seems to be a gap between midfield and the forwards. We’ll see what they’ve got second half. Bradford very aggressive and we seem to be getting muslcled out of this one.

More steel needed and get running at them.

We were fairly steady at the back until the first goal. Marosi looks nervous as hell under pressure and they've capitalised on that. Midfield lacking creativity and Alfie running around like a headless chicken chasing far too many long balls. Anyway ... bring on the second half :)

You’re like a broken record Frost. Never ever have a good word to say about Rovers. I think it’s pretty f**king obvious that we are trying to find our feet again at this level. You don’t just come up from L2 and assume it’s going to be all rainbows and unicorns.

I have faith that the club will get the measure of what’s required sooner rather than later. This season is about regrouping and sussing out what is needed to push on.

All these people calling for Ferguson to go don’t exactly have a plan for who would replace him, do they? It’s ridiculous. But a sign of the instant gratification people expect these days... Bloody Veruca Salt.

I've said plenty of positive comments. You clearly can't read.

Ferguson has been here over 2 years and has shown he is incapable of turning around a bad run of form. That is the issue here. If you can't understand that, then you have serious issues.

Fergie himself has said his aim is for us to compete in every game, I'll take a good performance and unlucky defeat but a team getting shown up, a midfield not creating or defending and long balls to someone who is 5 foot 6 isn't going to work.

Fair enough. Sometimes that is down to the midfield not stepping up or showing for it. In all the games I've seen this season, in terms of tactics the biggest problem has been the ineffective midfield. I retain the view that the diamond is a disastrous way to play as it leaves too many holes in the middle and if one of the four doesn't perform we struggle to win games.

In contrast, Rotherham took 1700.

Fair play to all 889, decent turn-out especially with how bad our away form is at the moment and the ticket price.

Weren't our only two wins away?

If we average the points we are doing now, January will be too late to change anything.

If we do it for all teams, we'll finish 19th. That'll do.

Well yes but before last Saturday we'd lost four games in a row away scoring one goal.

Not quite RA - if you count Arsenal then you also have to count Grimsby which we drew, plus the extra point for penalties.

For those with blind faith that Fergie is the man for the job - where is the evidence he will turn this around?

You’re like a broken record Frost. Never ever have a good word to say about Rovers. I think it’s pretty f**king obvious that we are trying to find our feet again at this level. You don’t just come up from L2 and assume it’s going to be all rainbows and unicorns.

I have faith that the club will get the measure of what’s required sooner rather than later. This season is about regrouping and sussing out what is needed to push on.

All these people calling for Ferguson to go don’t exactly have a plan for who would replace him, do they? It’s ridiculous. But a sign of the instant gratification people expect these days... Bloody Veruca Salt.

I've said plenty of positive comments. You clearly can't read.

Ferguson has been here over 2 years and has shown he is incapable of turning around a bad run of form. That is the issue here. If you can't understand that, then you have serious issues.

I’d like to see you say that to my face you jumped up little prick. Plenty of positive comments... yeah right. You only comment when things are not going to plan. As for turning round a bad run of form... what exactly does that mean? We were promoted last season. We had lapses in form but still got promoted. It’s ridiculous to say that he can’t turn around a dip in form...

And I’m still waiting for your genius insight as to who would take over as manager...
