Tommy Rowe returns, while Adam Clayton and Max Woltman are also included in the starting XI.

So it could be 4 3 3 or 4321 or 4312 or plain 442 or is DS going to play TR at left side defender so we play 3 4 2. I

Liverpool have had a word, he plays or he comes back.

Two up front would be good, GM would have less running to do.

Better now
-
Still no shot, on or off target at 30 minutes gone, worrying.
-
One goal from either side here and it could be game over, both poor at attacking.
-
45 minutes without a single shot on goal, "going in to see what we can do better", I will give them a guess!
-
Thanksforthe updates, Barmby. Is it really as dull as it sounds?
-
Lacklustre so far from both teams. Williams’ passing is poor, keeps giving them the ball.
Rovers need to bring a lot more energy and belief to the second half.
-
Woltman off and hurst on or move Tommy Rowe forward as pointless at left back, our passing and attacking play is so slow

Bit harsh on Williams there I think. He hasn't been bad on the ball, I've been critical of him in the past and think he should of been dropped but I say here and actually said to myself he has been fine tonight, but then he did give it straight away :s
The midfield is the problem again. Not dominating. Struggle against any team with energy.
-
I feel like too many players get the ball then think ‘right, now what’ rather than having their next move or moves planned out.
When we go toward all too often we just stall and hold up instead of pressing ahead.
-
A bit tentative, reflecting where the teams are on the ladder.
-
0-1
Williams left for dead … and they are 1 up.
-
Just after we started the half well.
Need a response COYR
-
Oh dear, I hope I was wrong earlier, but I am not optimistic here.
-
Williams was beaten far too easily and we had enough men in the box to defend that.
-
What was Williams doing then
-
Not a lot
-
We have no intention of attacking why is the manager so scared of conceding, get some pace on the pitch and Rowe further up the pitch how hard can it be
-
Game crying out for Hurst and Taylor.
-
To be fair to Walsall, if they try to shut up shop against us it should not be that difficult to hold out for 30 minutes or so. Sky now have us at 16/1 against winning.
-
Another hour ticks by at home without a shot on target, pathetic.
-
This is now 2 managers who seem to prefer to play tommy deeper.
Think we will have some more pressure around there box, can see them sitting back further. Agard to come on a get 1
-
We need one hell of a transfer window to really push on

I love an optimist!
-
We need the manager to realise hurst is ten times the player that maxwell is at left midfield
-
Williams … an absolute liability. Get rid!! 0-2
He’s by far the weakest link in this side.
-
What a shambles we have become
-
The last time I said game over when we went two down people said I was too pessimistic, we lost 3 - 0, sorry to tell the truth here, but game over.
-
Olowu on for Williams please
-
RSW joke of a defender.

RSW joke of a defender.
while your right the manager has to take the blame as he plays the same every week, had lots of hope for this manager but he no better than gm at the minute
-
I was actually kinda singing his praises at half time. How does this defender still start every game. Faulkner must be pissing himself that he can't even get in the squad
-
Miss from Agard … six yards out and over the top!
-
Faulkner is levels above RSW, Long is too. I know this is a controversial statement but RSW is the worst centre back I've seen for the Rovers (that has played multiple games). He's dreadful in the air, awful at passing, lacklustre in the tackle and seems to be getting slower by the day. It's safe to say I'm not his biggest fan.
-
3 changes and not 1 that is to help Rowe get further up the field. We'll tommy looks like your a defender from now on.

The sad, frustrating thing is, it’s been obvious for a long time, Williams is just not good enough.
-
Is Faulkner going to stay though?
-
Better team than us look way faster than us and more eager to create something and as for Williams enough has been said all season but he still plays.
-
4 more matches to go this month, how many points? Not many with this form.

Be surprised I we get 1 with the way we are at the moment
-
We didn't look cohesive and lacked penetration. Rowe made some good link play up the left hand side but we gave the ball away far too easily and had it taken away from us too often. Williams could be excused sort of for the first goal, we should have defended it better but for the second there was no excuse.
-
That was back to the bad old days of last season. Poor from front to back and a definite lack of urgency at times, especially in the last few minutes.
It’s going to be a long long season if this level of performance continues.
Onwards and upward

-
Too lethargic, lots of pretty patterns with the passes, Pass backwards more often than England, and why does nobody actually run into the oppositions penalty area we are always trying to chip or pass it in from the edge of the box so predictable
-

Not quite true mate, we had two shots in the last minutes before half time.
One nice move led to a shot being deflected over the bar for a corner, then from the corner a shot (I think by Close) was headed off the line by a defender.
Shots blocked by defenders don’t count in the stats as being shots on target, even if they are on target.
-
Well, that was 13 days on the training ground well spent
-
Walked out on 75th minute, dont recall doing that in about 37 years of watching rovers, always stayed until the final whistle.
