Cherry Blue

Dack on bench & Rothwell is ill.

Taking charge v West Ham on Sunday come stand-in management team of Jackson (U23 coach), Jenkins (academy director), King (keeper coach) & Mee (club captain).

Crazy decision by burnley.

True he has.

I'd say not. Mowbray said midweek he wouldn't risk Dack's career by playing him 90 mins so would think a second half appearance especially with another game in three days time.

Hudds v Luton tonight but can't decide who I want to win or whether a draw would be best. Remaining games after tonight for each are: Hudds - QPR(h), Middbr'gh(a), Barnsley(h), Cov(a), Bristol(h) Luton - Forest(h), Cardiff(a), B'pool(h), Fulham(a), Reading(h)

The reason why Posh are Championship's bottom club is because they have conceded 82 goals averaging 2 a game. From 41 games they've only won 6 and drawn 10 to pick up just 28 points. If we can't at least come away with a 0 1 result, even if its in true Rovers style (4 shots, 1 on target), then TM should be honest with himself and walk away from the club.

That should be game over for Burnley. 2 0.

He should have gone to spec savers.

Couldn't believe my eyes! We are in allotted 5 minutes added on in need of a winner so our manager wastes time and brings on a sub. Second half we lost our formation. Van Hecke continued to slip and apart from Dack's disallowed goal we made zero attempts on goal. Can only think Tony was happy with the point. I'm not. Get rid of Mowbray I've lost all respect I had for him.

We are falling apart. Mowbray out.

Pickerimgs poor

Playoffs are not realistic goal. This team under Mowbray have let us down too many times this season and in years to come we'll read about missing penalties, getting beat by ten men and now dropping 2 points in the 10th minutes of added on time. Looking forward to playing Burnley next season and hopefully Mowbray will not be there.

GOAL!!!!!!!!

Stoke 1 0up against SUFC

We need 3 points.

Is it pay on the day?

Rich Sharpe is reporting Van Hecke has withdrawn from Netherland U21 squad due to injury.

I've one eye on the table. Even goal difference as we edge into the final games could decide a playoff place. If we win & yes that's a priority but if teams like Middlesbrough, Huddersfield, Forest & Sheff Utd don't pick up maximum points then that's not just a moral boost. There isn't that many games left.

Looking for teams to do us a favour next weekend: Hull v Hudds (fri), Blackpool v Forest, Luton v Millwall, Peterborough v Middlesbrough, QPR v Fulham & Stoke v Sheff Utd. Also massive game at Coventry on Saturday..

Complete and utter disgrace by those making this decision. Why or why am I a football fan! It makes me so angry that our game has to suffer because of non footballing decisions by people who couldn't give a shite about our game!

Dack playing for U23s tonight v Derby. Rovers 2 1 up with 15m to go. Sharpe writes "The big news is that Bradley Dack starts for Rovers, captaining the side on his sixth appearance since his return from injury. Great credit to Dack to feature in this, having been involved in the last three first-team fixtures and many of the senior players given a few days off during the international break, for Dack to be involved says plenty about his character. Will benefit undoubtedly from more match minutes, even at Under-23s level."

Four at the back is right but doubts on both Dack and Brereton starting due to fitness. Having said that Dack is getting better and if they work him right over next two weeks, expect a competitive friendly is set up, he's the best we have. Brereton is focused on world cup dreams, can't knock him for that, but situation is not ideal. If Brereton not ready for 90mins I wouldn't want to start Gallagher so bring in Buckley on the right and move Dolan up front who will give everything he has.

Yeah but its not because Venky's are slow on making important decisions. They are simply no where to be seen. Prove me wrong Venkys.

Time for a change is an understatement. He should have gone months ago but due to owner's lack of football knowledge and, lets be honest with ourselves, they've not the slightest interest and it's up to Mowbray if he choses to go. Thought I'd read earlier this season that a member of Venky's would visit Ewood this season. Don't hold your breath.
