  1. It’s just a fact. There will be around 12,000 Rovers fans there, as usual. If you think £27-£31 for a ticket in the Blackburn End or Jack Walker (£30-£34 on the day) is in any way sensible for a mid table second division match then fair enough, but it’s a ridiculous price from where I’m standing. The club is only interested in filling the Darwen End at top prices, not trying to encourage a big derby crowd and atmosphere that could encourage our fans to return.

  3. Things will not get any better. The 'happy clappers' will trot out: Let's see what he does in the summer window Let's see where we are in Oct / Nov I think the writing is on the wall and, as far as I am concerned, has been for some considerable time. Mowbray failed to keep us up, brought us back but, IMO, we are now in sharp regression. Time to move on with a hungry and innovative new man.

  5. In the season we went down under Coyle/Mowbray we conceded 65 goals. This season we've already conceded 52 goals and there are still 12 games left.

  6. Seem to recall Mowbray saying on Thursday night that there would be some games where the new hard bastard of a centre half would 'sit out for Lenihan and Mulgrew' on the basis of horses for courses. Could you imagine Shankly or Wenger saying to Ron Yeats / Tony Adams respectively 'this game isn't for you son' !

  7. Should have ponied up the 100k or whatever it would have taken in January. And it would be Mulgrew I would be sitting.

  8. That defence is a job loser, some advice he'd better heed before the start of next season as if we are struggling by October.......... Ditch the 'we'll manage' attitude and actually manage by upgrading some of the favs especially when there is a bit of money available. No amount of luxury signings who might come good in a few years or on loan from a huge club or telling fans what you think they want to hear will cover over the cracks that have been glaringly evident since we were last in the division for much longer. Wise up fella you've been in this game long enough.

  11. Chaddy the clue is in it help some to pay the bills. loose money not working and loose money paying for tickets. yes its been known what the kick off time has been known for some time. but real life comes first for some people not football.

  14. First 20 minutes ‘unnaceptable’ - TM’s words before one of his apologists attack me. After arguably the worst half of TM’s reign and 4 defeats on the bounce, how on earth were they not fired up from the traps today? Very concerning.

  15. Possibly a few points too far. Though it must be good to have a manager that still believes and their season should go into April at least

  17. Remember how many seasons all we wanted was players to actually give a shit, a manager that wasn't a liar and some sort of pride/responsibility in representing Rovers. To quote Fatboy Slim: "we've come a long way baby!"

  18. This won't be popular but I think Mulgrew is windy. He strikes me as someone who won't put their head in the way to save a goal. When you look at the likes of Moran, Hendry, Todd, Short and Samba, he doesn't have their bravery. I just wonder is he at the stage in his career where he thinks fuck it

  21. And not everyone can book it off. Some people think that life should revolve around Rovers as though that should be a factor for attendances. Anyone whose life revolves around Rovers is already attending - and that takes us to the high end of 11k fans. The club needs to stop messing fans about and charging ridiculous prices (relative to the economics of the fanbase) for the privilege.

  22. Dont talk bollocks. Some people wont be able to attend all for a change that for all the guff coming out of the club is at the clubs request, for what reason exactly? And no, they wont be there regardless of the kick off time, you seemingly cannot fathom that some people arent as desperate to attend as you or I.

  24. Once again, from my perspective you are wrong and Tony is right. It takes time to “nurture” improvement. In his time, the squad is better, the individuals are better, the recruitment is better, the atmosphere is better and overall so far the results have been as good as we’ve had since Big Sam. Particularly the home form. All the minimum expectations have been surpassed. The club from the outside seems to be better on every front you could list, and I think is disingenuous to dismiss the poor state he took over when considering the improvement overall. Things change quickly in football but I have a large amount of faith in Tony to carry on the good work, which for me has been a resounding success so far.

  25. Can't find the numbers for last season but numbers for 2016/17 showed record attendances for football league (not Premier League) games since 1959 and is showing a small year on year growth. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-4497292/English-Football-League-attendances-reach-58-year-high.html Edit : this one shows the average attendances of PL , Champ, L1 and L2 over the years https://www.european-football-statistics.co.uk/attn/nav/attnengleague.htm

  26. Getting ready for when TM is sacked ..match day tickets are £5 (free before midday ) and the return of the so called missing 10000 fans ..not! (Cant fault the club for trying to move with the times though) Football as a "live " spectacle is a thing of the past now. We ve a generation of football fans that think a live game is one that's on tv. They ve no interest going to a ground to watch ..they ve no need to ..football on tv in the home ,pub ,tablet ..phone ..most important games can be picked up as a stream. That's live football. I look at the young adults sat around me and the majority of those were brought by their dads (and mums) as kids when football was less tv influenced and have now carried on either because of loyalty or habit. The next generation will be very thin on the ground. Football as a live event is dying out fullstop. Its like the cinema ..you can slash prices as much as you like ..deals etc but theres no real interest because what you want to watch is readily available elsewhere.

  29. No team goes all season without having a shocking performance, I think we’ve had a few this season admittedly but compared to the Kean,Coyle,Berg and Appleton days we are basically Barcelona.. We don’t have the quality required too be challenging in This league, we got too 8th place and a few points off the playoffs at one point through being an organised team who runs themselves into the ground. We don’t have the quality in the squad too pull a result off when we aren’t on song. Last season we did, we played poor a lot of games but came away with 3 points.. Whenever we’ve played poorly this season we’ve paid the price. When you look at our squad a lot of work still needs too be done, that’s why I stressed the other day how massively important this summer is for us. Mowbray needs to be ruthless, players like Conway and Smallwood should not be anywhere near the first team next season, and are hopefully moved on and replaced well... We’ll see, nervous times ahead this summer..

  31. Mulgrew's reaction after both goals worries me. Head down, moping, negative body language. Not how I would want my captain responding to conceding goals.

  32. I think , the chances of Rovers getting into the Play Offs are none existent ..Unless the owners go out and get the right manager in ...Kean ,Berg ,Appleton , Bowyer , Lambert , Coyle and Mowbray ... Worrying ! Bowyer had the best squad of players by a long long way ...

  33. If he was a very poor manager we would have been in relegation trouble. He was if anything distinctly average, not good enough to get us into the playoffs but not bad enough to take us into serious trouble. If you take his lack of experience into account and the lack of support he had above him I think it's really harsh to shit all over his tenure. His best wasn't ultimately good enough but it could have been a hell of a lot worse. One thing I have noticed is that Mowbray gets cut a lot more slack than GB.

  34. Would’ve taken the point beforehand, and even now I’m happy with it. Just wish we didn’t keep throwing points away. Hard, nasty bastard required at the back alongside Lenihan. Mulgrew finished by looks of it, needs replacing either by Rodwell, a signing, or maybe an u23 defender.

  35. Who to come on though? Always risky. Sit back and concede, questions will be asked. Rothwell or whoever on and concede, similarly questions will be asked. Possibly best was to see how the team would hold out for a few minutes, which we failed

  36. A staple of the Mowbray era I'm afraid. Anyone who is happy to give him another ten transfer windows or whatever simply can't complain when this happens. It's been two years, it ain't changing no matter how many more Ben Brereton's Tony is allowed to bring in this summer.

  37. Mowbray said that Rothwell was supposed to start last week but here we are today - missing a spark while Rothwell is sitting on the bench. I think Mowbray doesn’t like him at all and is just constantly bullshiting us with all those “ I will unleash him, he will be given a chance etc”

  38. I was scoffing at people on here who suggested he go into midfield. Now I'm of the opinion that he might as well. He's a quarter back with his passing. He could do that in midfield. Definsivley he's not at it.

  39. 100% agreed BB Problem is that Biz holds the concept of "taking part" above the one of "winning". This season Tony gets a "free hit" because of what he did so far. Next season he needs to get us promoted or get the sack. Today he had better make sure we win the game.

  41. I suppose, at the end of the day, he can't really talk about specific players and who's leaving etc in public. There has to be a degree of professionalism at these things. When talking about the centre backs and getting to Rodwell, he simply said he was a 'project'. Wasn't glowing or damning about him.

  42. As much as I’m a fan of Mowbray, you can’t put a specific time period on things like that... You can understand when a manager first gets a job, give them time to imprint their way of doing things on the team but Mowbray has been here 2 years now. I’m not particularly bothered about the rest of this season, but if we were in too double figures in games played next season after hopefully signing a few players and we were sat in the bottom three, I think we know what we’d be saying on here. It’s a results game at the end of the day..

  43. Why that specific time period? Surely it depends on results. For example, if we went down this season, something thats incredibly improbable, but as an extreme example, he would surely warrant dismissal. Likewise, if we were stagnating in the bottom 3 after 20 games next season, surely his job would deserve serious consideration. Not saying I suspect either of those will happen, but I dont see how you can say he should be the manager for x period of time. Depends on results.

  44. The day we were sold actually. I maintain the problem was not sacking Allardyce but the choice of replacement and the refusal to remove him. Coyle instead of Warnock was just as huge of a blunder. Boy, this lot have overseen some doozies.

  46. Spot on, think there could be some decent signings in the summer and really hope TM is doing the signings, don’t think with our budget there is a better manager, time will tell,fingers crossed,patience and slowly move forward.

  47. 2 good games yesterday. City were their swashbuckling selves. It's great to watch but it won't win them the cup. Top sides will be able to pick them off if they play like that. Guardiola admitted as much after the game. They need more defensive solidity. Atletico - Juventus was also good, although annoying at times. I can't see Juventus putting 3 past a Simeone drilled team. They'll frustrate the Italians to death in Turin. Godin and Giminez are the best central defensive partnership in Europe. They don't give much away. It's also good to watch Diego Costa. He is missed in the Prem.
