Promotion bounce gave us a decent start and was the only reason we didnt go straight back down. Once teams figured us out, and continuosuly have us sussed this season too, we were always going to struggle. TMs comments are bizarre to say the least. He said he keeps Dack playing even when not performing because we need goalscorers on the pitch. Now, while I agree that Dack should start, surely the 15 million he spent on strikers should ensure that we have some goalscorers on the pitch other than him? Lets not even start on 'Defenders are coming'. I find it amazing that every footballer that we buy has to 'learn how to play football' according to TM. Surely we should be buying some that already know how to play? Many other teams seem to be able to on a fraction of what we spend. German international needs to learn, Reed needed to learn, Rothwell need to learn, Gallagher needs to learn, Brereton needs to learn and the list goes on. Bennett doesnt need to learn though because he talks a lot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alejandro Tapia Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Respect your point of view but still thinking he is good enough to cgange this and rise the bar again at least enough to finish at the middle of the table again. Whoaver I'mnot blind either pal and i know of curse part of the problem is him butbonly cause fixtures still passing tru and we haven't a reilable or even a regular 11 selection and changing the natural position of players as well...but come on he's not even the bigest part of the problem let's face it, we have a much more better roster against last seasson and Tony hasn't changed his philosophy of game then? What's going on? Why even with better players we still fragile? Well pal the answer is easy to me we doesen't have a good enough defense and defently key players are not working good enough (Walton, Gallagher, and even Johnson wich I'm sure will improve again). To change a gaffer who is happy here os not good not yet at least let's wait andbif it's necesary by the end of the seassonwould be a better option i guess pal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the end of the season would be too late, pal. Most of us don't care if TM is happy here - there is little or nothing to be happy about coming out of Ewood Park these days. We have really become a nothing club, with a no-mark manager, instantly forgettable players, and a dwindling connection to the local community that should be the backbone of the club. I really appreciate your enthusiasm and chirpy optimism for Blackburn Rovers, but it seems somewhat at odds with the reality on the ground. We should crowdfund a visit for you - I'd be more than happy to take you on a pre-match tour of the local pubs so you were suitably anaesthetised before the game 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yonder12 Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 (edited) It will be a strange game today, I think we will dominate possession but do nothing with it. All huff and puff for 85 mins and concede from a set piece in injury time and ultimately I think Mowbray will.be sacked. (Wishful thinking) Struggling to guess his team selection but I can bet there are at least 5 players out of there natural position I think he will go Walton GK Bennett RB (wrong postion) Best BENCH Lenihan CB (wrong postion) Best CDM Tosin CB Downing LB (wrong postion) Best LAM Travis CM Johnson CM Holtby LAM (wrong postion) Best CM/CAM Dack CAM Gallagher RAM (wrong postion) Best ST Graham ST Rovers 0 - 1 Barnsley Edited November 23, 2019 by Yonder12 Miss spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gone to seed Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 (edited) Nah, I think we will win this one , and thereby flatter to deceive. Anything more than a 2 goal margin and the happy clappers will be talking shite about top 6 potential and going on a run and how Mowbray has turned things around. Sadly, the delusions will be shown to just that as we bumble around the bottom half of the table for the next 5 months, despite having a squad with so much more potential.

davulsukur Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Lose this and the loons absolutely have to act. If we lose and they keep Mowbray, we are off down. Nothing but a win is acceptable. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mowbray’s happiness is not relevant if he is not successful. He has had almost 2 years of Championship football at Rovers... He failed in the first part-season: he was brought in to keep us up and failed. He failed to create any momentum last season and we drifted - including the club’s worst ever run of results. He is failing this season: having assembled his team, which still has players from Lambert’s and Coyle’s time as core players. He has had more money (net spend) than anyone under Venkys and has wasted it and we are nowhere near where we need to be and are on a trajectory for a relegation battle with a team/squad who have no mental strength, cannot come back when losing and wilt under pressure. Meanwhile the manager selects players almost at random (although regularly benching our influencers like Holtby and Rothwell until they have their attacking potential drilled out of them by Venus and Lowe) and making substitutions which baffle supporters while under-performers like Armstrong and Bennett are undroppable, even championed! Questions though: What do you think will be different at the end of the season? What happens if we are heading for relegation? How close to relegation would we need to be before you might change your mind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIMON GARNERS 194 Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 This lot were ripped apart by the equally useless Stoke City at home. If we can't win this we might as well shut up Ewood for good and call it a day.Mowbray can't afford not to win this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt83 Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 New Barnsley manager. Hoped it would be ours. If we fail to win I hope Mowbray does the decent thing. When you have the luxury of appointing your own boss a sacking isn’t on the cards. My enthusiasm has totally drained. I’m sick of mogadon Mowbray and his big book of excuses. Sick of terrible football dressed up as some feeble sort of progression. Sick of useless owners. Yes men running the club. Fed up before a ball is kicked. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with that is people just make excuses. The guy has overseen the worst post war run was it. Over a seasons worth of games it’s been relegation form. Wasted millions we don’t have on donkeys. He shouldn’t be here. But you’ll hear can’t sack a guy before the Xmas run give him January to fix problems. Nothing happens. Well January is a tough window can’t sack him now at the business end of a season. Then at the end of the season it’ll be let’s see who he can buy in the summer. Then got to give him at least 2 months with the new players (all of whom need to learn how to play the Tony way). My personal favourite well who would come here as if we’re some team that’s sprung up yesterday. ps. Mowbrays happiness is zero concern. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomphil Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Rovers are shite, the team consistently changes and it consistently misfires. Not one player can he get any consistency out of, he consistently selects his senior favs despite poor showing - on the pitch not training ground or dressing room - and consistently digs out others. He consistently tries to get his signings to play not to their strengths which makes you question why he bothered signing them in the first place. And the worst of the lot he consistently baulks at attacking players terrified of anyone running forwards with the ball in case they lose it. Meanwhile others lose it all over the park trying to play a possession game they aren't comfortable with. A great bloke but a real oddball manager on the pitch yet fans run around after each nice guy interview saying oh it's ok Tony is happy here, jesus !!!! I actually thought we were supposed to pay them to try and make US happy for a couple of hours !!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wegerleswiggle Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 With Mowbray desperate for a clean sheet I can see us losing this 1-0 late on. Lenihan will go off injured and Evans will end up at centre half. Calling it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Wonder if Mowbs will be tempted to play a few squad players for this one? All eyes on the Rovers twitter feed from 13:55 for this one. We simply cannot set up today to counter a perceived Barnsley threat. Let’s play to our strengths and go for the jugular.

We want our club to succeed and have a manager with enough tactical knowhow and play players in the correct position. However the club with only appoint mediocre managers while Venkys remain in charge. So it could be a case of better the devil you know with Mowbray as frustrating as this is for us all us.

tomphil Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 WE can't live off project fear forever there is a better structure in place than at anytime under Venkys since before Kean. A lot of that is down to Mowbray of course and some is just down to time and the complete dumbing down of everything. A handshake at the end of the season would be my preference but if things get worse it'll have to be a pay off i'm afraid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
