“Take care of the ball”. Surely its the starting point for any reasonable coach? it means don’t give it away. We’re any of the players even thinking that way, because it didn’t look that way to me. I’m not sure where their heads were, or what they were trying to achieve it was that bad IMO. Didn’t Mowbray say recently that the results during the good run were down to doing the basics properly? it seems all of that has been completely ignored since.

Only saw the second half, but blimey totally clueless. 11 individuals running around not understanding what’s required is the impression they gave. and I know Buckley is young but he offers very little.

How many do you need?

Big gaps between centre halves and both full backs. Evans and travis should be patrolling those areas but aren’t.

Tried hard but couldn’t find the quality tonight. It happens. Rovers will be the happier of the two sides.

? howler wasn’t it. Never seen a bowler laughing when he’s had a catch dropped before.

It’s very odd. A bowler who can hit 96mph bowling at mid 80’s. Can’t remember Lillee or Thomson going soft on the England batsmen. I can only imagine that for some reason he’s being encouraged to bowl slower. at the moment his position in the team should be in doubt. If they want a medium bowler there are other and maybe better options.

Get shut please.

https://sportsrecents.com/en/blog/?p=109 not so sure about this one!

This is a bit naughty, but.............. did people really think we would be better off without Big Sam? Did people really believe that getting rid of the bigger wage earners and investing in young and hungry players was the way to go when we were half way up the Premier League?

More of a trance with nobody having a clue what to do about it, or prepared to do anything about it. A club with owners who have no physical contact with their management and running the business completely via phone calls and emails can never prosper can it?

Wales. i haven’t seen much of SA in this comp, so don’t know how good they are. The norm for them is big, tough and very physical.

There’s very few of today’s team that would survive under Hughes.

45 mins to defend two goals and we allow them three? doubt it will alter anything at Ewood.

North Enders have waited a long, long time to get one over us. Now we are so poor they look at us for an easy three points. no way is this anywhere near to being acceptable. DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT VENKYS.

I think it must be best ever performance as well. Absolutely destroyed New Zealand. superb.

Thinking about Parsons question about which is the better of Brereton and Gallagher, the only talent I can see from either is that Gallagher can jump higher. He can’t head it very well at all, but he’s taller. dont see anything else.

This squad is all over the place. Time to get back to basics of a solid 4-4-2 buying players able to play that game. Under a new manager preferably.

No.

Have they got more men than us?

Thought England were superb. strong, pacy where it matters, strong in defence. Pretty flawless to be honest. Australia pretty much second best all over the pitch. play ‘em again, we’d beat ‘em again. ? nice to be able to say that.

I’m talking about the policy, not comparing players.

It’s not just Mowbray, but this club needs to get out of this idea of blowing big money on one player, while the team isn’t good enough. Rhodes, Brereton and Gallagher for starters. That kind of money in this league is ridiculous and for me casts doubt on any managers ability to improve a team. a manager who will build solidly from the back is the pre-requisite for success at any club.

Working for me, but not working for someone else I know.

Not sure what Gallagher role is in this set up. What’s he trying to achieve?
