Still waiting for Rev’s appearance 🍿

Defends would struggle to match the pace of a front two of De Neve and Kargbo. Plus, if we start them both central it gives them more time to think before they run off the pitch

https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/19898505.tony-mowbray-explains-blackburn-rovers-didnt-sign-striker/ “We had opportunities, there were No.9s out there and the really interesting thing is that clubs are phoning us and asking if we want to take this player, Premier League clubs. “They have to fit into the way we play, why would we sign a Premier League centre forward if we don’t play with a centre forward at this moment, and he can’t do the running of a wide striker, doesn’t chase full backs, so we’d be playing with nine men rather than 10 out of possession? “Why when we’re doing so well at the moment would we throw that away and do something totally different? “We tried to recruit players to fit the system.” What a massive cock up that was.

Did you mean to put roads or drains Capt?

Mowbray loves playing players in wrong positions, hard no from me. I feel like ismael should be replaced but not with Mowbray

Just needs a bit of imagination if we end up looking for a new manager, although that rarely happens here Middlesbrough found a decent manager from abroad, Lincoln appointed Leeds u21 manager and they are flying, other assistants have done well such as Arteta. It just takes some thinking instead of fishing in the same washed up pond! Bloody John Terry would be better than what we put up with now

Just reminiscing on some of these bold decisions Mowbray was addicted to making. Wonder which players he'll play out of position the next time round? Anyone for De Neve as false nine?

I am afraid we’re going down, with or without VI. Our next two are vs #24 owls and @#19 Norwich. If Rovers won both, and there is no movement on the table immediately above us, that’s only good for 18th. The next three (@QPR, PNE, Bristol) will surely drop us right back down.

I don't think anyone has forgotten the good work that Mowbray initially did as manager, but that goodwill certainly bought him enough time to grow complacent and stink the place out. And insulting comments like this didn't help when he came under fire: “I hope the supporters understand where the football club is in the history of the football club at this moment. It isn’t Blackburn Rovers of 1995 competing and fighting at the top of the Premier League."

I thought we put in a decent performance yesterday. Lack of quality in front of goal. He should never have took Ohashi off for DeNeve-afuckinfootballer. Ohashi should have stayed on to play with Gudjohnsen. You could see the momentum shift when the lil workhorse Ohashi went off

It completely ignores the wider context of Eustace getting us there in the first place and Ismael bombing us out of said playoff places. It would be like reporting on a stabbing where the attacker called an ambulance afterwards and only saying "a person was assaulted, but survived thanks to a bystander calling for help just in time". Factually correct but completely distorting reality. It wasn't a jab at you, I just have zero patience for write-ups which paint an incomplete picture from the beginning and give the wrong impression of something. I'm not saying it was deliberate on the writer's part, but looking through the article there's no real blame aimed at Ismael throughout the piece and no analysis of the catastrophic summer we had. I don't think Gestede or Suhail's names appear once. My concern is that it makes our situation look like a hard-luck story rather than a very deliberate dismantling of a team that finished 7th last year. Suggesting Eustace and JDT left because of a "disconnect" from Venky's is also an extreme simplification of the chaotic reality. Anyway, it's obviously a positive that our plight is highlighted in the media at all, and I'm glad the coalition gets some more publicity. I'm more exasperated by the shallow nature of reporting on our situation in general than being petulant. I appreciate the writer probably didn't have a significant amount of space to put everything that's gone on, but still, it would have been prudent at the very least to highlight Ismael's culpability in last season's collapse and Pasha/Gestede/Owen overseeing the club's downgrading this summer.

You are disapointed about one stupid decision, we have had 15 years of them.

Tony says I will come back if you give me a 5 year contract

I imagine Alebiosu will be sold to raise funds to punt Val out.

Absolutely spot on Wendal, the rubbish written on here about the man was pathetic. I want him nowhere near this club, he did a fine job under these rat owners, we should remember him for that.

Is there an official "Fans player of the season" run by the club at the end of the season? If so, and Alebiosu is sold, we should all go to great lengths to ensure he wins that award to embarrass the club. Saying that, I'm not sure there is actually anything that us supporters can do that would embarrass the club more than the idiots that run it and I doubt they would even care! They'd probably spin it to say, "Look, even the fans know he was too good for little old Blackburn Rovers, we had no choice but to cash in just to keep the lights on".

So now we're selling the only decent signing we made in the summer, whilst in the midst of a relegation battle? What the actual fuck goes through their fucking minds?

Really need an ITK to update on what the hell is happening today…

Tony Mowbray? I know VI is crap but that's desperate.

I can imagine the effort being put in right now by Gestede and the rest of the cunts to maximise the profit on the Alebiosu sale. More drive and fervour when selling players than in any other situations.

So least one has gone today.

Hey Dapo, can you recommend us a RB we want to flog ours

Although it went stale at the end there’s no doubt that Mowbray rebuilt this club when it was on its knees. He was unlucky to be relegated and canny in getting us straight back up Players like Raya, S Wharton, Lenihan, Travis, Nyambe - came through on his watch, he bought in and developed players like Dack, Armstrong and Dolan + got in some shrewd loans like Elliott, Reed, Tosin etc By all accounts he was also responsible for getting our academy back on track with the right structures in place which has since been picked apart. He left us with a top 10 championship squad, laid strong foundations for JDT/Eustace and was relatively successful in uniting the club and fans. Too many people forget what he inherited post Coyle, Senior etc.
