That's what the manager expects of him though, it'll be fook all to do with Benson either way.

There is no argument to be had. A novice coaching from a manual was coaching young keepers and putting a loanee through his paces. Now he's got an experienced international number 1 there everyday. Who's rubbing off on who ? What can he possibly 'teach' someone like Kaminsky ? Nothing, apart from perhaps offering stats on the opposition. So in effect having him around is better for Benson and his own learning curve no ? The Johnno comment is bollocks seeing as he had a very good and long career as a high level player. So no correlation whatsoever but yes he should be perfectly able to coach the first team instead of Mowbray and Venus. How could he be worse than 1 win in 14 with such a good squad to pick from that he knows very well.

That's because Kaminsky has probably forgotten more than Benson will ever know. Quality keepers just need putting through their paces day in day out, thankfully the recruitment dept found us one. Perhaps Benson will learn something from him.

All the more reason to need a team with a bit of fight and hope about it. Sadly it reflects its manager, comfortable in a dire situation.

So JRC and A N Other rotating at right back, Bell again and now Pickering rotating at left back. The stuff of Tombola Tony's dreams this.

That's been the plan with Nyambie for over 12 months imo i called it ages ago. However its come about or whoever is to blame it's another shambles. From our lots point of view though they'll get a few million and nice sell on clause probably. Cheaper than giving him a bumper new deal and Mowbray removes another obstacle he doesn't want with minimum fuss. Then he'll get to waste the proceeeds on another dolloper to rotate with JRC according to opposition. Great.

That goes against ALL Venky logic, it's almost like it suits them or someone for us to sit in this division wasting company millions. Had they remotely tried that at any point in the last decade we'd have at least have had a flirt with promotion.

Probably scrape a credible draw here then Waggot will emerge from under his rock to back his boss, sorry manager. We need Mowbray gone but we need points as well, safety has to come first. If we get walloped here and he still survives we might as well throw in the towel. 1 - 1

Personally i don't want to hear it the guy is just another PR windbag bleeding the club. You can bet your backside win or draw the next match he'll seize his moment.

Wouldn't be surprised i mean how dare we get angry and worried at a run like that. We are only Blackburn Rovers the smallest backwater club in England with the budget of Bamber Bridge Fc. Should be so grateful to still have the God of midtable football wasting that budget on his mates.

I think it's easy for them to confuse waffle with passion. Just because he can talk a glass eye to sleep about football doesn't mean he's a passionate manager. He comes across more like a fan or pundit at times, commentating on things whilst remaining detached from it himself. A rare talent considering he's talking about his own flipping team losing again.

Just don't think they pay enough attention to be honest and of course the football old boys club is alive and well. Mostly exists on hype, lies and bull shit. It's the arrogance that gets me most they don't listen to fans who pay to watch all the time. They prefer to just look at the stats and speak to another pundit who happens to be a managers pal. Lazy tossers just chucking out soundbytes most of the time. It's funny though as my only memory really of him as an opposition manager is when Boro came to Ewood and counter attacked us off the park. That was in the dying embers of Kean so we were rubbish. Very much like we are now, sideways, backwards, slow and completely toothless. We've actually seen some of that stuff from TMs Rovers at times and it is the style that suited us most. He abandoned it though for the going nowhere rubbish we see now. Just why he saw fit for such a sea change is the million dollar question, almost like he's trying to hold us back. For the last 18 moths what we've seen mostly on the pitch is more what you'd associate with Kean & Coyle = a confusing mess.

Tony Mowbrays teams don't play winning football that's the problem. That's why he gets sacked everywhere after a couple of years. I'm sure Boro fans loved his midtable fare so much they'd have swapped it for the Karanca years. Or Coventry fans would still prefer sitting at the lower end of league 2 to watch this mythical football. Thick as pigswill these pundits.

The flop after lockdown last season finally sealed if for me. I knew whatever happened in summer we'd be nowhere near it by the end of this season. Yet he managed to blag what looked like a few good signings and talked the big talk again. Along with loading a few more boro pals on the books again for good measure of course. I was angry then with that flop as there was clearly no intention from him whatsover to have a go the end of last season. To me that's is the best chance we've ever had under this ownership of sneaking into the play offs. Nothing to lose at all but did they have a go ? Did they feck he just continued his transition to possession going sideways and backwards. Then we folded to teams who basically just wanted it more. A few good wins mostly in dead rubbers when the beach was in sight cast a false shadow on last season. The warning signs for this flop were there for all to see, they can't step up when it matters because he can't motivate them to. Or set up a side geared to do that. The very definition of a middle lane driver at best and sleeping on the hard shoulder at worst. Get gone.

Others teams results should have no bearing on judging ours if the games don't involve us. That's just verbal diarrhea he spouts like Coyle to veer away from the real issues. This is the championship results are always up and down and anyone can still beat anyone on any given day. Apart from us obviously, we used to be one of the standard up and down teams but now we are consistent in not managing to win at all. Relegation will be rubber stamped next season persisting with this manager and his approach. If they are still too stupid to realize this having been burnt several times before when the warning signs flashed loud and clear the season before then they deserve to burn in hell. Sick to the back teeth of this now and anybody who is stupid enough to still make excuses for him.

All that was supposedly changing when Barry & The other one became joint significant people on the companies house books. However if the parent company still pays the bills then ultimately Mrs & Mr D will always call any shots that require money i'd wager.

Or the land.....

I'm certain there was something unsavoury about the whole Kean leaving episode. My bet would be Singh had rumbled a little scam or something and was going to make it public. Giving the slimeball no option but to walk otherwise i think he'd have brazened it out. After all he stood there through it seems very odd an annoying Malaysian TV pundit would drive him out, just by watching and undermining everything he did. Nah, there must have been a lot more to it than that. Here now we have something a bit different but bad enough in its own way. If Mowbray is still here there's obviously been no sign of a nudge from anywhere.

Not much point he'll only bounce.

If he's spat his do do out and walked as well then there's no one to announce it. Such is the void between Ewood and India.

It came up from his wine cellar, think he was putting some nice bottles of red BACK in their crate.

There's been some noise.

There should be no decision to make that should have been sealed a month ago. The only thing they should be debating is who steps in short term and gets the team back to basics. Stops the revolving team sheet and subs and sets out to grind us a couple of results out so we can breathe again. Right now that's all that matters. He should be at home just waiting for news of his contract settlement and whether he's needs to sue or not.

When will people learn that the percentage chances on then doing anything at all are always extremely low.

It isn't happening, the way they do things now will be the annual review in June/July along with budget setting. By then him and his fat monkey will have spun new yarns and promises that will see them through summer. All pointless because whatever happens this season he's a dead man walking going into next season. Fans will be on his case as soon as there is a bad home performance and result. Then it's just a matter of how long he sticks it out / gets away with playing the victim. There is no future under this ownership it's just like the tv soaps, same story lines being rehashed every few years with different characters. Please sell the club and take your wasted debt money with you.
