Haven't given up on JRC yet either. Hope JDT can identify his best position and not shoehorn him as a RB as Mowbray did. Came into the squad with big hopes but injuries and Mowbray stifled him somewhat I think

He was always a natural box to box midfielder before Tony put the shackles on his game. The lad has so much energy. Hopefully he flourishes this season as he should have been doing for the last couple

I was only 7 and it filled a Weekend with an ice cream paid for by half a bob and it kept my mum happy!

I worked on my uncles farm at Stanhill which is near Knuzden. Never seen so many eggs or milk since them days. He must have had 100+ cows and 300 + chickens laying eggs. Took us hours for half a bob wage lol

Ha ha. I've been called worse lol

That's fair enough. Probs got wrong match but was away from home November where he was lauded on this MB. The bit about him being quiet was Mowbray in LT around March saying he couldn't see fire in his belly as he's a quiet lad. Funnily enough I am friends with an ex International cricketer from Glos who asked me last year why so much noise from Lancs League players when we went to watch. Sounds amateurish he said. That's cos it is I said!

You could have actually dropped Rothwell quite easily after a couple of blinders as his next 5 or 6 would be indifferent bordering on shite. He didn't deserve his place in a starting 11 since the Bournemouth saga

Yes I think he did announce himself earlier this season away at Stoke I think when a lot on here saying he was by far our best midfielder but was then left out of the next match day squad altogether. If you're not allowed a run of games then how the heck is he supposed to make an impression? I just think Mowbray treated him harshly because he's not vocal enough for him which is a load of old bollocks. Why do you have to be a mouthy bastard to play any professional sport?

I think Davenport has been given the shitty end of the stick by Mowbray. OK his first 2 years were blighted by injury but since then he's come into the team, done OK and then dropped from the squad straight away thereby giving the lad no chance to make any impression. Mowbrays last excuse for discarding him was he's not mouthy enough or similar guff. I would be looking to fuck off from here if I was him too.

Why have footballers regressed? Because of yer man Mowbray Plays our most creative midfielder as a false nine since fucking Christmas. The lad hasn't a fucking clue what he's supposed to be doing or why he's being tasked to do it. Its utter shite and Mowbray has outstayed his welcome and should fuck off tonight. But he won't will he.

Yes we are all wheat free glutens. Personally I am a glutton for punishment 🤣🤣🤣

Are you being serious Chaddy?

Yes Davenport was by far and away our best midfielder earlier in the season at Stoke?. Called it on here that he would be the first out for some reason the next match. And oh yes he's hardly kicked a ball for us since. Was the obvious replacement tonight for Travis but no Gallagher has to be shoehorned in meaning Buckley not deployed where he has been excelling with the offshoot of Rothwell being so ineffective tonight. Why is he not getting game time (Davenport) when it's crying out for him? Beggars belief

FFS Mowbray haul Gallagher off and put Davenport in Travs spot you clown

That's rubbish saying Davenport is terrible. The lads not had enough minutes to make that sort of silly statement. Whenever he has had minutes he looks decent enough at Championship level and is only a young lad with room for growth. Just needs to keep injury free and get some matches under his belt then maybe we will see the real Davenport who was highly thought of at Citeh

Not aimed at you Roverite

Bloody hell wheres Sparks Rover demeaning everything coming up from u23s when you need him?

He has rode his luck ha ha. No he has made goalkeeper saves and looks OK tbh

No I realise that Bigdog. Looks far better this season probs due to a full close season and hopefully the manager not insisting on training on the pitch as of yet.

There is nothing wrong with the pitch tbh. Had so much rain on Saturday it was hardly a surprise to see it sodden. Drained ok when the rain relented a bit.

Yes it's not always the high profile players Every team needs a Mark Atkins style to win owt. He was our Vieira or Scholes type really. He did it to perfection that season. He was our hard man in centre mid

Met a coach load Sheff U fans before the match at a pub in Ossy. I asked them if they were going to win and almost to a man said "Are we fuck. We're fucking shit". I said you remind me so much of Rovers fans who would say the same about ourselves. Made me giggle

Yes he's a hell of a nicker of the ball! Don't think they realise he's there half the time

Yes remember that now, Exeter City were going well at the time at the top end of the division. Also mistakenly called Curran Trevor instead of Terry. Some player he was at Sheff Wed for a season or 2

And so he should the plank. No probs liking Reeds post in private but public is not on as a senior pro at Blackburn Rovers
