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.

Tony says we're still on a journey. What fucking journey is this? We literally couldn't be more mid table if we tried and it feels like that's all we're ever going to be under him. But he won't walk and he certainly won't be pushed. So many glaring errors, players out of position, defensive frailties it's fucking nauseating. We put weak teams to the sword and get out played and/or out thought by the top teams. We'll finish 8th-12th and never really threaten the top 6. Completely and utterly fed up.

Fucking shambles. No manager could come in and sort out this defence the players are just fucking abysmal. Football; dead since 2010.

Cracking effort by Del there

Gallagher on the wing bless him. It's not even his fault, he's got no options so tries to dribble it past his man and just runs straight into him.

Imagine if we could defend?!?!?! ?

Come on boys!!! Cracking goal

How the fuck has he not connected with that

No changes ?

He looked decent for me. Couple of cracking touches, a million miles away from the player he was

Game plan. Absolute key to what's hapenned here. You've got a manager on top of his game, getting the most out of his squad and preparing them for each game on its merits meaning they're greater than the sum of their parts and top of the league. Then you've got our Tony.

I look forward to people pointing out its Reading and they're top of the league etc Revamped squad or not we cannot defend and simply won't get out of this league with Mowbray at the helm.
