Some of the players wil be in for a rude awakening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedrotherover Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 (edited) I actually think the squad is okay, leadership has let us down yet we're only 5 points off the play offs. Stoke is a huge game and 3pts is a must. But I just don't feel it happening. Though there last win was boxing day against us so there not coming into this in any form Edited January 14, 2021 by Pedrotherover spelling error Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewood Ace Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 If you ever wanted to know what a poor coach Mowbray is then you only had to watch Fulham last night. Tosin not for the first time this season has looked a far better defender for them in the Premiership than he ever did here in the Championship. Harrison Reed was outstanding in the centre of midfield yet when Mowbray had him he played him wide on the right because he needed to learn how to play centrally from Evans and Smallwood. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he is bringing an 18 year old and has let a 21 year old go out on loan. I should have known better than to realise twaddle. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoochie Bloochie Mama Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 (edited) 'Undoubtedly' - Mowbray says squad stronger for second half | Lancashire Telegraph "It feels like we can score goals, dominate games, and even when we don’t score goals we create lots of chances. Some days they go in, some days they don’t. But the fact we’re creating chances I think it’s important to do that, because if you’re scrambling 1-0s in games when you only have two or three chances every game, you’re not going to do that every week, in my opinion, unless you’re basing it around a defensive structure. But we’re not doing that, we’re basing it off an attacking structure.” WTF! Edited January 15, 2021 by Hoochie Bloochie Mama 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHRover Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 If anyone was in any doubt a quick read of Mowbray's comments will confirm he's lost the plot. He's not completely daft and knows he is underachieving and not delivering what was expected. At any other club in the world he would be on the brink or already down the road so these desperate comments reflect him feeling some heat. Unfortunately this is Venky Rovers run as a corner shop operation and he's as safe as houses. Ramblings almost as deluded as Kean's 'entries into their box' nonsense. Does he think we are all stupid? 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Parsonblue Posted January 15, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 15, 2021 The telling line in that article for me was " I probably haven't got a best XI, that depends on the opposition." The managers who I've enjoyed the most - and invariably been the most successful - Jack Marshall, Gordon Lee, Howard Kendall, Kenny Dalglish and Graeme Souness had this strange habit of picking their strongest team week in and week out irrespective of the opposition. 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue blood Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 For those who CBA reading the article it can be summarised as "don't worry Venkys the squad has been unlucky and is going to do better this next half of the season." Most telling thing for me is building from an attacking base not a defensive base (his words). Which manager has success doing that? From Liverpool getting success when they got in the top class CB and GK through to every premier League winning team - they are all built on a defensive base. His lack of footballing basics is terrifying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, can't think of one where it has succeeded. The guy is so ignorant about football it's untrue. How can he have played and managed in the game and make the errors and assumptions that he does? It also irks in the article he complains about defensive injuries when so many of them are crocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backroom Tom Posted January 15, 2021 Backroom Share Posted January 15, 2021 For someone who is meant to put a lot of investment and focus on stats and analytics it’s convenient to now ignore all of that because to his eye we look better. The personality is hugely different of course but these are some real ‘dew on the grass’ level comments @Parsonblue is spot on (no surprise) you need to know your best team, remember Tony over thinking a game in league one and subsequently messing it up because he shuffled his team around in fear of the oppositions left back! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogerb Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 When you think back to what the V's were reputed to want when they bought the club - attacking football- why buy players when you can loan them!.
