AllRoverAsia 5792 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 We need a win, for the players, for the fans. I can't ever favour us losing no matter if it rid the world of vermin. I'll be watching. I can't help it. Armstrong to score in a 1-2 loss and hope I'm wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can't even see a result either unless we get a Watford sending off, we could just about get a draw then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If we're going to get beaten, it may as well result in something positive by losing to the same margin. Watford don't score too many goals away. It's got the feel of a game Mowbray would try to play for a draw, anyway and try to nick one. Mowbray will just look to win the possession battle and dominate the ball. I've still no idea what dominate the ball means. If any other commentator knows, please let me know. I don't know how Davenport starts ahead of Rothwell .I'm half convinced Mowbray will play 3-4-1-2 with Johnson thrown right in as part of the back 3 , but [play more as a sweeper. It doesn't make sense for Dack to play handholding with the 2 CB loanees. I think that if Bennett plays, we'll concede. As usual, we depend on whether Armstrong is wearing his shooting boots or not. Their players must be thinking getting battered was worth it. Pearson rumored to be in for the job. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rog of the rovers 698 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 (edited) This match will be Tony Mowbray's 138th Championship game in charge of the Rovers. Which effectively means 3 full seasons as Blackburn Rovers manager. (46 games per season, 46 x 3 = 138) Going into this game, his record stands at P137 W47 D36 L50 Pts183 League win percentage of 34.3% An average of 1.34 points per game ----------------------------------------------------------- For comparison, Gary Bowyer was in charge of Rovers for 120 Championship games P120 W43 D44 L33 Pts173 League win percentage of 35.8% An average of 1.44 points per game Edited February 22 by rog of the rovers Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We could lost 16-0 and I bet Mowbray wouldnt go anywhere sadly. I think Davenport has impressed lately, Rothwell has done very little in 2 and a half years, Davenport alongside Travis has the makings of a good duo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't be averse to giving Pike a go if we didn't already have two teenagers at centre half. Travis has played there previously but he'd be missed in midfield. Any chance of any of our vast array of sick notes putting in an appearance ? Edited February 22 by Tyrone Shoelaces Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Any chance of any of our vast array of sick notes putting in an appearance ? Bell is just as bad to be fair. Rankin Costello is back from injury, and although he himself isnt a convincing full back, if fit I would probably play him. Failing that, I have asked a few times why considering our under 23s win so often, why none of the team is near the first time. We know Bennett isnt capable, so as you mention, id give Pike a go there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hoochie Bloochie Mama 5268 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 It's a win-win for Tony the Tedious. If Nyambe gets injured again he can blame the fans. If Nyambe plays and we lose he can blame Nyambe. Man of dignity. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
