£12m worth of open goal missed.. Tony swivels away head in hands, extra cake required when he gets home tonight

Evans coming on, telly going off

Love JRC having a right go at Gallagher there, he knows how fucking shite he is

A penny for Paul Mani's thoughts

God I cannot wait for Dacky to come back

Pears is a complete and utter embassment, how they haven't scored from that corner is beyond me

Lenihan desperate to hoof it to Gallagher everytime he gets it. The only bonus is that might make him a bit more solid playing that kind of game.

Paul Cook saying "Assomba Bonga" is full value on Sky

Fuck me we're on Sky, someone is getting fired in the programming department

We have a lot of injuries/absentees, can't argue with that. Sadly though, this isn't the main reason we are where we are; it's down to Tony not being a good enough manager. I guess we can hardly expect him to admit as much in the press though so the 'woe is us' rhetoric will be ramped up until we stumble out of the latest death spiral.

I think you'll find we are midway through his latest death spiral, sadly.

I'm in a town called apathy and Tony is the mayor

Can't see us winning this one, Boro in good form with a manager who knows how to get out of this division vs a team in terrible form with a manager who doesn't. I predict a diabolical 0-0 to continue the Mowbray death spiral with apathy well and truly cemented in.

This. You can see it in his body language - he's seeing the players who are out because of Covid as something that'll mean we won't win. It's all 'woe is me' and it must filter down to the players. Combine that with playing players out of their actual fucking positions and trying to out think opposition managers and this situation is inevitable. We'll go on a mini run at some point and may even get within touching distance of the play offs, but it'll all collapse again. Bang average manager for appalling owners. The only people that lose are us poor fuckers hoping and preying we get back where we belong.

One day Covid will be over and Tony won't be here. Until then I might just pretend none of this is happening.

I do look forward to anyone trying to polish this turd

It's so bad is there a hope he'll get potted?

Top work lads, 25 mins without conceding is a great improvement. Especially with the localised Covid outbreak solely within Blackburn.

Been Mowbray'd into submission haven't we. Apathy had to win out eventually

Lots of goals. I think we'll lose 5-2. When we lose Mowbray to mention Covid within 3 seconds in the post match interview.

I can't bring myself to read it.

Who is "we"? We the fans can think about appointing someone else for sure, I'd absolutely love if we unearthed some unknown gem like Reading have (albeit only 8 games in). "We" being Venkys? I can guarantee they are thinking absolutely fuck all about Blackburn Rovers currently, in their mind the ship is safe under a lovely man whose wife bakes a great cake. And if another club approaches Mowbray and he goes and join's them I will firstly pay you £100 (take that as an official bet). Madame on the other hand will be irritated that one of her under-performing outposts have the temerity to contact her, and then employ some clown to ask a filthy agent to recommend replacements. It genuinely blows my mind that anyone can think that we would go through the process of appointing the best available Manager for Rovers if Mowbray were to go, with our current owners in place.

Pearson!? Again I will point you to the list. What makes you think Venkys, or whichever agent they turn to for advice on the appointment, would go for someone of the calibre of Pearson? Johnson would be far more likely and that's a massive gamble. I'm as fed up as anyone with Mowbray, we're not getting promoted with him as manager, but that doesn't mean I can ignore the utter calamity of the last 10 yrs under Venkys.

Can you please explain to me who on the below list gives you faith that Venkys will appoint a better manager than Mowbray?

This is often over looked. What's the chances they'd stumble over someone of the Reading manager's calibre? I'll tell you; absolutely fuck all chance. We'd end up with a complete clown and be pining for Mowbray within a month. Football; dead since 2010.
