That he couldn’t give his season ticket away when he was on holiday so someone could go for free. Same lad also is usually passionate but is getting bored of going and watching the stuff at ewood. Anyone else getting “bored” of ewood? Used to be a group of circa 20 of us with season tickets, every single week I'd get messages asking if there were any spare tickets going. Now? Literally loads of freebies floating about. We have a hell of a lot of people who class themselves as rovers fans if asked, but no intention of attending, unless perhaps we ever get back in that poisonous league. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkBRFC Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 5 wins in 6 followed by 0 wins in 6. All so predictable and classic Mowbray. I don't dislike Mowbray, I don't even think he's that bad a manager overall. I just don't think he's a manager to take on a long term project, I think that sort of thing doesn't really exist at this level anymore, in my opinion we need some new enthusiasm, new ideas and someone who can get this lot playing as a team. Three years is a lifetime at a club like ours these days, things have gotten stale. He went 10 games without a win at Coventry and walked stating it was embarrassing to go on that run, I don't think he'd do the same here though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

47er Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Carry on like this much longer and we'll be a Div 1 club with 5000 fans in a couple of years. And "yes" I am pessimistic! Give me a reason not to be. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amo Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Mowbray has far outlived the average shelf-life of a league manager without pulling up any trees. His uncontested position at the club has bred complacency, comfort and a serious lack of urgency. Do the manager and this group of players really want it enough? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all starts at the top though and works its way down. Just enough is enough at this club Mind you they'd probably sit back and watch us fall a division again if we were really struggling. So no surprise if there's no freshing up of things in the next few years at all 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of it makes sense. They seem happy to plod along with certain managers if they take a shine to them. It also depends which particular adviser happens to have their ear. Pasha got them to dump Bowyer for Lambert, but with the way that ended he's probably exercising caution. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHRover Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 The Mowbray flag was out pre match again yesterday. A sign there's no appetite at all for him to go. Where else would the club pay for a huge flag of the manager and wave it on the pitch pre-match? Looks good in India I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattyblue Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 For a club middling around in the second tier it’s quite a bizarre thing to see. Where was Bowyer’s? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely wonder what he could do with the budget Mowbray has here. This long balling a dwarf up front whilst sticking your 6'3" marquee striker signing on the wing is beyond ridiculous now. It serves nothing, never worked and never will chufing sick of this type of thing. To be fair I'm not sure which one is better in the air...

Tyrone Shoelaces Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 There's an interesting article in my paper today regarding the up coming Bournemouth v Watford game. " During Bournemouth's downturn their possession has increased and their passing accuracy has gone up, as has both the number of passes attempted ( from 385 per game in their first 11 matches to 449 subsequently ) and successful ( from 289 to 357 ). Yet they are scoring 0.6 goals per game down from 1.3. In Watford's upturn their possession and passing accuracy has gone down, as has both the number of passes attempted ( from 403 to 354 ) and successful ( from 311 to 251 ), yet they are scoring 1.1 goals per game, up from 0.6. In the 4 games where they have had the greatest possession Watford have lost by and an aggregate score of 9 to 1. Bournemouth have extracted 2 points from the 6 games where they have had the ball the most." Has Mowbray backed the wrong horse implementing this new brand of possession based walking football ?

I suspect he is here next season and beyond. Owners happy with him. If he got top 10 this season I guess they would see that as improvement.

We lose the next 6 games and he stays? Why? You are comfortable with that? They must be very rich and very relaxed about things if another £20 million loss is fine as long as we achieve the meaningless feat of top 10 in the Championship. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattyblue Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 As long as we are not in a relegation battle I just can’t see the crowd turning on him en masse. Barnsley got close to real dissent due to us slipping towards the bottom 3 at that time. The majority of Rovers fans expect little these days, so plodding around in mid table of the Championship won’t be inviting a rebellion.

Or is it down to 2 key defenders injured in Ake and Smith. Plus the loss of form of Callum Wilson, Harry Wilson and Ryan Fraser? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
