I think we do need to define what "paid off" means. If it means paid off for the club long term, then it's a big no considering recent history. If it means paid off because we are seeing some goals which make us happy, along with seeing a young player flourish, followed by some money that will never be invested into the team because it'll service the bottomless pit that is the club debt, that the owners created by signing players for silly money and wages. Then I guess it's paid off.

It's great for him, and for us to watch the goals go in for hopefully an entire season, but what then? Will it lead to promotion? No because the squad is paper thin. Why is the squad paper thin? Because we were gambling £7m here and £5m there a few seasons ago. Where will that big fee go? Where did Armstrong's big fee go? How will the club cope with losing another top scorer? The same as Armstrong I'd imagine - just praying that someone steps up followed by the club spending barely anything and Mowbray's scattershot approach to football transfers. It won't even make a dent on the clubs debt. It was a silly signing then and a pointless signing now if we aren't building for the future.

It hasn't paid off yet, unless you put a bet on. No one is operating on the assumption that Mowbray would have done better with the money because in his bizarro world, anything could and does happen. The point is, at that moment in time the team needed investment in other areas but Mowbray decided to take a gamble which has taken years to even approach paying off. It hasn't paid off because the club is none the better for it. It's still Tonyhog Day. His bizarre decisions are still echoing today.

It was a daft signing at the time. Gambling £7m on a young lad when we needed to strengthen other areas which has held us back for years. Brereton's goalscoring feats may have redeemed the player but not the reckless signing. The only way it would is if his goals fire us into the Premier League, offset some of the debt and buy us some great players. If we sell him none of that money will make it to the pitch.

He's a messy nuisance isn't he.

Is 4 wins in 11 really something to shout about?

If only I wasn't in sunny Skelmersdale.

I wish I'd chucked £100 at it!

Which is weird because in all of his interviews I could understand him perfectly. I was once in the changing room for that Premier League winning team and no one seemed to have any problems understanding or communicating with Kenny, who was in high spirits. Ray Harford unsurprisingly, seemed bloody depressed.

Kenny didn't need to shout a lot. He used to find somewhere to stand so they could see him, they knew he was watching and they could be out if they delivered a shoddy performance.

I’ve noticed they are usually young lads who were too young to remember when Rovers were in the PL. This is normal to them.

Wasn’t the word that waggot wanted rid because TM fell out with him? Or something like that. It may explain our half decent start to the season (and before anyone says it 4 wins in 11 isn’t anything special for a manager that’s been here seemingly forever).

Edun looked like the kind of player we need. Box to box, pressing the opposition, passing it forward, getting stuck in in defence. Shame that by the time he’s a regular his confidence will be shot due to Mowbray continually leaving him out.

I'm more interested to know if he’s available to manage.

A bit of a positive, I thought Edun looked good. Looked more than a defensive midfielder. Was helping in attack then getting back quickly to defend when needed.

Probably because Rovers fans boo’d him.

I'm sure Edun could have played there.

That's weeks off.

It would be unnacceptable to any owner other than Venkys. Proper owners would be asking questions. How did we get into this position where Blackpool could roll us over so easily? Answers. Loans out the only cover we have for Nyambe so has to play a guy who was terrible in the last game, out of position. Continues to play £5m Gallagher out of position, who isn't even a superstar in his chosen position. Plays a small wide player as our main striker. Loans an injured CB. I think we were 4-2-4 today. F***ing bizarre.

To be fair the team were trying to get to grips with a right side of the pitch consisting of Magloire and Gallagher. What tit would ever think that was a good idea against any team. Only one.

Won 4 games in 11, this journey is shit Mowbray.

I fully expected Mowbray to get it wrong but it's still thoroughly depressing.

Magloire is a liability. Why didn't we recall Pike?

Blackpool goalie off.

Yep, his career is based around people forgetting the first half of every game.
