RevidgeBlue Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 If anyone from India is reading this, please make a change of manager now to give us a chance of salvaging something from this season and of avoiding a third consecutive wasted season like the last two. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHRover Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 No nearer the play offs now than at the same point in the previous two seasons. Soon to be half way through the season and haven't occupied a top six position for more than a few days several months ago. All the excuses known to man will get trotted out. Reality is we haven't made progress in the areas that really matter. Nothing will happen because too many people are comfortable with the good ship Mowbray on course for mid table drift every year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

47er Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 For anyone who said "let's see where we are at Christmas", well, we are where we always are, 11th, same points as Preston who had a dreadful transfer window by common consent and whom we were laughing at a few months ago when they gave us Dolan. Nothing to play for except avoiding any further slide. If you can't beat teams in the relegation zone at home and you can't beat anyone above you, with a squad everyone was delighted and optimistic about, there is only one conclusion---Mowbray Out! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waggy76 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 If there was a League Table for managers , Mowbray would be in the bottom 3 .... That is the problem , it is his job to get the best out of the players at Blackburn Rovers , it ain't happening and not likely too... Mowbray Out !!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefred Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 His number was up ages ago , we will never get promoted with this clown incharge , he’s no excuse because over all we have a decent sqaud , just need a defence which he said he was addressing two seasons back.

Backroom Popular Post Tom Posted December 26, 2020 Backroom Popular Post Share Posted December 26, 2020 Hard not to be utterly frustrated, it feels like the manager doesn’t learn and adapt. He’s quoted today in the Telegraph saying the game went about as he expected, well he’s paid handsomely to alter that in our favour, teams have a right to put up walls, it’s his job to mastermind taking them down! If you expect a game to go a certain way that isn’t positive and you fail to alter the course then as a manager you have failed. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post philipl Posted December 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 27, 2020 We had the hope the injured players returning would make the difference. That was dispelled with 20 minutes to go yesterday. We had Dack, Brereton, Downing, Rothwell, Elliott, Armstrong all on the pitch together and Mowbray showed he hasn't got the first clue how to knit such riches together. The tactics were still slow build up side to side hoping against hope to pull Wednesday out of position. No urgency. Offensive players dropping deep just to find the ball. I counted at least four times Rovers players got in each others' ways at crucial.moments either blocking our own shots or setting up their goal and that was with the ifollow stream failing for about 20% of the match. That just screams poor coaching. No strategy to use the rich resources we have. No plan B or plan C We made it so easy for an incredibly limited Wednesday well marshalled by Pulis who did change things about to further frustrate Mowbray's mental stasis at half time. The fans have been asking where Dack will play when he comes back. We saw the answer yesterday- Tony hasn't got a clue. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyroversmad Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 When was the last time under Venky's we approached a club and paid compensation for their manager? Correct me if i'm wrong but it seems like the standard for a manager is set too low and they only target ones that are out of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kean-a crook internally appointed, Berg out of work after leaving lillestrom, Appleton out of work after leaving Blackpool, bowyer promoted from within, Lambert sacked by villa and out of work, coyle sacked (left by mutual consent) by some tin pot MLS side, Mowbray out of work after resigning from Coventry after a 10 match run where only got 6 points.

Popular Post arbitro Posted December 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 27, 2020 It's all so frustrating. Mowbray has got most of the pieces of the jigsaw to get us into a top six position in my opinion but the main factor behind the reason we are not is him. In his nigh on four years here he hasn't come up with a way to beat teams who are prepared to sit in and defend. His current obsession seems to be a passing game but it seems teams have sussed that one and as a one trick pony there isn't a plan B. His stubbornness with playing Gallagher out wide is frankly embarrassing. It's clear to the vast majority that it isn't and won't ever work but it's like he's trying to prove a point invariably though at the expense of the team. Results are everything in this game, they determine the on and off field success and Mowbray is falling well short in his feast or famine tenure In my view he has run out of ideas, not just him but his coaching staff. He still tries to talk the talk though and some of his interviews do him no favours. We have gone from stability to stagnation under Mowbray in four years. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a terrible combination of genuinely thick and stubborn. Not learning from your mistakes is utterly unforgivable in any profession, in football its even worse. Everyone can see the issues; playing players out of position, not giving any focus whatsoever on the defence, investing in injury prone players, throwing non favourites under the bus, lying about being on a journey for self preservation etc etc Can't stand the bloke now, any favour he did carry for getting the best squad by a distance in League One promoted, has long gone. I really wish he'd just f5ck off, I'd literally take any other option that Venkys stumble across, this is how fed up I am of him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIMON GARNERS 194 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Who's going to have the balls to sack Mowbray....his best mate Waggott? Owners who never visit,The club is still in a huge malaise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim mk2 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Apart from a disastrous run of results similar to his time at Coventry, what will it take for Mowbray to depart ? Shearer summed up Newcastle fans' frustration on MotD last night - they want their club and team if not winning trophies but to be seen to be competitive and challenging, "not just to be happy just to exist" Because that's what we're doing at the moment - just existing, going through the motions of playing games, winning a few, losing a few, without any sign of breaking this grinding, frustrating nothingness. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
