Mowbray, the summer and beyond
lraC replied to TheRovers1994's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I like the least bit and given the number of posts you have made, I take it you are an old newbie, if you get my drift. -
I watched it on Rovers TV due to being abroad and it was obvious something had gone on too. The camera crew panned over to the motionless Mowbray a few times too, including after each goal. I hope we went to the dentist on Wednesday, to remove the tooth that must have been causing the pained look on his face.

Exactly my feelings. In addition to that, I was very impressed with what Mowbray said when he first arrived at the club and his early efforts, bringing some stability to the club were brilliant. I think back to little things like trying to persuade Connor Mahoney to stay and the statement when asked about why he took the job " This is Blackburn Rovers" was very impressive. His efforts in keeping us up to were fantastic and turning around what Coyle had done, was simply amazing. Like may others, I have been hugely disappointed with the death spirals we go on and as a one off, I would accept that it was bad luck, or some other reason for the odd wobble. Dalglish suffered one, all those years ago. It is that more than anything else, that has me thinking he is stubborn and will not listen to an alternative view. We can do very little as fans, so having a go, when it appears things are not as harmonious as they should be, is what it is all about in my opinion, be it on forums like this, or at the stadium. We have a right of reply, as we have been here years in many cases not the 5 that the current manager has.

I think he was a bit wound up with some handbags in the box when we had a corner. Wharton seemed to get a bit of it too and great that they both retaliated with a goal.

With some of the responses on here, I was starting to wonder if I had miss read Mowbray's body language and facial expressions, but given the admission he made about player aggression, perhaps not.

It’s brave of Johnson to say what he did on Twitter. When I first saw it, I questioned it’s validity, I was that surprised at seeing it. The fact that he was prepared to say it in response to a fans post, shows how angry he must have been. I find it hard to accept that he and the other players, sat back and accepted it and did not have a go at the manager about it. The boss is not always right.

For those suggesting that i posted that Mowbray has disrespected the club, here are my words, taken from the post above Please remember this Tony and show some respect for the club It may appear to some that I am saying he disrespected the club, but I didn't. I asked that he show some respect, which is a totally different thing.

I will never understand that some fans simply want to defend the player/manager, no matter what. Rovers fans have put with enough crap over the last few years and as we saw yet again, we had the manger clearly having a strop at something. If it was the fans then he should hang his head in shame. If it was a result of the players lashing out at half time, which seems to be most likely, then he needs to accept that they were right and perhaps start to listen to advice, from others. The tweet from Bradley Johnson is rather telling and perhaps it wasn't just him who had a go. The rest probably behind closed doors, but fair play to Johnson for first of all, doing what the manager asked, despite the absurdity, but also having the balls to question it, in the public domain.

Maybe this is the reason for the mood Mowbray was in for the second half. There is no way not a single player has said anything about this, when the player himself has put this out. PDF.pdf

If nothing else, this division certainly provides plenty of interest and no shortage of drama.
-
Maybe I wrong here, but did he not look like a man who was totally fed up last night and given that there was not even the slightest flicker of emotion, when we scored any of the goals, does that not come across as strange? I have reacted more, when our arch rivals down the road have scored than he did last night. Something was not right there in my opinion.
-
Things may well have changed, since Coyle was parachuted in at the last minute to pull the rug from under the feet of Warnock. As that was due to them thinking he was cheaper and doing the same job, perhaps he has a point. Of course things could be different now, but I somehow doubt it.
-
Maybe the manager has got issues, as there is no way the manager should be displaying body language like he did, especially in the second half, when we turned it around. If I was his boss, I would have him in first thing this morning to check out his health and of that was okay, I would want an explanation. In Tony's words, "This is Blackburn Rovers". Please remember this Tony and show some respect for the club and the fans.

Most fans could see what was wrong last night in the first half, so you can be sure that the players could. It is a guess, but perhaps some of the players turned on him at half time and he threw his toys out of the pram and said okay do it your way. I can't imagine the players would normally have a say in who is taken off and how the formation should be changed, but neither can I imagine why the manager would sit there with a face like thunder, when the changed, worked a treat and we had the 2 goals in 7 minutes. Again just a guess, but if he has had total control (which he should have) for the previous 9 matches and he then delegated to either the players, or a coach, who immediately broke the goal draught, perhaps that's worth sulking about. It might be total crap what I have just posted, but I can't work work it out any other way

I sense some booing coming up at half time. -

The three winnable home games to put us back on track, have worked well. -

At least he could have a record that he could be half proud of. Given the record home loss, the record for the lowest number of goals over a 9 game stretch and the number of games with no win last season, all he needs now is another couple of penalty misses and he will probably have that record too. He has been very fortunate to be manager when no one really cares too much about what the fans think, as any uprising makes no difference these days, which would never have happened under any previous owners in my lifetime. This proud and famous club have been turned into a laughing stock sadly. -

It doesn't really matter, what the budget is, we are not going to be anywhere near successful under these owners. Pasha seems to do a good job of hiding in the shadows and pulling the strings, whilst everyone with their heads above the water, finds a reason to be positive, about death spirals and goal droughts. -

We are lying on the canvass, begging not to be hit any more. We surrendered when our opponent was on the ropes, one blow from a knock out, but failed to recognise, what a great chance of victory we had. Given the last 4 fights were all exactly the same, it has hardly been Rocky, although the Rocky analogy in another context, could be used to describe our form. -
Even more incredible is the pro rata of goals scored. That looks to be just under 12 to me.
