Another Tugay memory for me is at the Reebok stadium when he wasn't playing for whatever reason. Before the game started he walked from the dugout area in his suit all the way to the away supporters end, climbed over the wall and walked through us up to the back, probably to join some mates to watch the match. We were in awe. I thought what he did was great.

Would you like Mowbray to sign your grandma then? Seriously though, I'm not too disappointed about tonight. I think we would have been embarrassed by Watford. Roll on Saturday.

You can't expect Raya to stop all the shots. He has a very poor defence in front of him.

I thought Rovers played as well as could be expected. It was never going to be a football exhibition, was it. For the neutral it was a dire game. But the last 10 minutes made my day and I'm over the moon. Fabulous win at a difficult ground. When I saw the starting line-up it re-ignited my faith in Mowbray. Onwards and upwards

I had your Taylor as EddieThomas. Are you sure, Tyrone, or am I wrong.

These podcasts are always so interesting to listen to. Well done and thank you.

Are we attacking and looking for the winner? Or are we fanning around in our own penalty area? Oh its a draw

We have ONE recognised centre back in Downing and he sits on the bench. Our full backs are pretty poor, all four of them. Therefore it is not surprising that we are shipping loads of goals. Cannot create scoring chances either (thinking of mid table Bristol City who can). I also question the training team for fitness and mental ability (of players). TM must realise these problems. If he doesn't were doomed. He's got to change a few things and be clever in the January window but I'm not holding my breath.

https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2018/december/lessons-to-be-learned---mowbray/ That is the biggest load of bullsh1t that TM has spoken since he has been here. "Lessons must be learned". How I hate that phrase. They've had 12 months to learn this lesson, week after week, month after month. If they haven't learnt it by now they never will.

And management and coaching

Kevin Gallagher said "lessons must be learnt". TM has never learned his lesson about the late conceding of goals. If he hasn't by now, he never will. We will continue to concede late goals all the way to relegation.

I was feeling so sorry for myself after that then I checked the Forest result. They must be as gutted as us. We've GOT to stop shipping late goals.

I think we'll sneak a point 1-1

Well some of you may have heard this before. When I was a lad in the mid 1950s I watched a free-scoring Rovers demolish Middlesbrough 9-0 at Ewood Park. Tommy Briggs, our super centre forward (striker) played but didn't score in that game. The only Boro player I remember was the goalkeeper, Ugolini. Poor fellow! I wonder if he ever got over it. 2018 Boro are a solid side who will not lose two home matches on the trot. Rovers to lose 2-0 I'm afraid to say.

It certainly does give a more realistic view of the league table, Blue n Whites. Thanks for that.

Thank you again, Tony. Keep 'em coming.

When I see them mentioned in the media they are referred to as "Blackburn Ladies". No mention of "Rovers" at all. Can They change their name to "Blackburn Rovers Lasses". That sounds almost as good as "Guiseley Vixens"

Ever thought of applying for a managers job? I love that line-up. I hope TM reads this board. This post makes so much sense.

It's all been said re the PNE match. Shocking selection and performance. From what I've seen of Brereton, and I'm no football scout, he looks very, very capable. He's big, fast, tricky. He needs to be starting regularly up front, with or without Graham. He and Dack seem to have an understanding. Rothwell needs to start as well. Williams is a good CB but hopeless at LB. Bell for me please; if not where is Caddis when you need him?

We play Wednesday Saturday too?

So, an ageing Finney coming to the end of his career rang rings around us. In his younger days he played right wing for North End, left wing for England and, towards the end of his career, played centre forward scoring many goals. What a superb player he was. That Rovers team looked a bit weak. Bill Smith(?) at left back, Ken Taylor at right back, Roy Isherwood on the right wing and no Ronnie Clayton. Hmmm.

Thanks for the programme bits. Has anyone noticed that the referee was FINNEY? Allegedly from Hereford. That was the game that taught me a lesson never to leave before the final whistle. I left at 4-2 to Rovers and later Sports Report on radio announced "Eight goals at Deepdale". I was nearly apoplectic. Barrie Hole was superb as was Newton, Clayton, Rodgers, Ferguson and Connelly. Happy days! But happy days have returned under Mowbray.

Sarcasm.

Why don't we just replace Graham with Brereton and see how things go. Dack seems to have a good rapport with Ben and Armstrong is no dunce. They will gel. Add to that Rothwell and Reed and we will have some mean attacking force. From what I've seen of Ben he really looks a good strong player and will only improve with more game minutes.

Grealish is a better all-round midfield play-maker. Dack is another Jordan Rhodes; he scores goals even when having a poor game like against Rotherham. Know who I'd rather have in my side.................. Sir Bradley!!
