tomphil Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 1 hour ago, RoverKyle said: What I really don't like about the injuries narrative is that we've had injuries all season and managed to stay within play off contention until recently. Always felt we were doing well in spite of a couple of key men missing (e.g. Dack, Travis, plus smaller injuries to players that regularly start). Mowbray now isn't getting the best out of the players that were doing well earlier in the season. It's very worrying and even more so that the seemingly social media element of our fan base can't see this. We aren't even playing good football, so this rhetoric about our journey is just frustrating. He's completely lost his way and needs replacing before he drags us down any further. Glad you've raised this point which again flies over the head of the 'nice guy' brigade. Been saying all season the squad has still been good enough the odd game aside to field a team to win games against mostly similar opposition. We were still doing ok obviously helped by the crazy early season bounce. Now as more become available we've gone into another tailspin, it's classic Mowbray. The more he has at his disposal the more crazy the selections/tactics and formations get. That's the whole issue with him just too much messing around, worrying about the odd bog standard opposition player and desperately trying to get everybody mins. it's come out in quite a few things he's said in the recent past but doesn't get picked up on. Like he puts players before points and that's why we don't kick on then keep falling backwards. An inconsistent caught in two minds manager is never ever going to fashion a consistent side and results. The evidence with him over his managerial career is overwhelming. Was similar in league 1 but we were blessed with a strong enough squad compared to the opposition to mostly carry it off. I suspect similar happened at West Brom after he inherited a squad with quality already in it. He's been trying to replicate that ever since yet it only worked once. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a ceo that will bat for him when Coyle went senior wanted him out. I don’t think he’s close to getting sacked Waggott will do what he's told to do!

roverandout Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I can see mowbray's prematch press conference now 'Yessh Millwall are a very good side. Back in der 80s they were a massive club. Much bigger than Blackburn. We just have to huuupe that we can compete. Percentage wise we have been very good. I believe we can tuurn it around we are only 16 points from the playoffs'. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1864roverite Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Not too sure Barr would want to leave his position due to the success of his team. DJ not the manager to take us forward not even on a temporary basis. Why anyone would want to upset the team even more than it is with 5 games in the month when looking at it realistically we can only expect a return of 3 points is beyond me. Rovers still need 12 points to ensure safety and again that looks a hard prospect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are enough managers out there who would walk over broken glass for Rovers' opportunity. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We argue back and forth on here and there but Rovers fans are powerless. I think that, ultimately, is why we all feel so frustrated. 1 point in seven, 16 in 18. We're going backwards all the time...yet nothing will happen unless India decides it will. I've said before it's like being in an airliner were the flight crew are locked in the cockpit and their oxygen system isn't working. Will the plane crash or will the flight crew wake up first. In the real life version the plane crashed, just saying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s either an unstoppable battering ram or he’s slow and stuck in the mud and takes far to long to play the simplest of passes. Suggesting either have a huge baring on our current plight is like you say, shameless from Tony. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giant Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 The India v.

Banner opportunity? I don't want things to descend into Kean out levels. As I actually think Mowbray is an ok fella, but stubborn and a bit deluded. Kean was a crook. But the owners refusal to make decisions pushes people into trying in whatever way to make their voices heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteJD13 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I’ve said it before apart from Mowbray questioning his own position, there are no leaks to suggest he’s off.
