Not seen Boro fans whinge this much since they didn't turn up that year.

We just can't pick up any balls in midfield. Were positionally naive and slow in that area.

It's not raining now. I suspect they've made the decision based on the long term health of the pitch, not on whether this was playable or not. I suspect it may have been playable but would just have been embarrassingly bad condition. The pictures of Pleasington and Green Lane shows that, with a fine spell, all of the surface water could have gone and the ball may have rolled bobbled freely. I would have expected if there was a chance of the game being played then the decision would have been delayed rather than being called off this early It's just embarrassing that we have a pitch so bad we are trying to get game called off because of it, rather than play on it.

As you can see by the lack of reactions, no-one particularly cares much at the moment although if you post on the match thread you will get more of a response. We are an average side with an average manager in an average league positions having another average season which, again, feels over with by the end of January.

Red wine is on 2 for £7 in Lidl at the moment. Soften the blow.

Truly, truly awful first half showing.

Like with modern music and film releases, you have the problem that more than 50% of the people watching it on streams aren't paying for it. However 2018 had the highest cinema admissions in the U.K.since the start of the millennium. That's because, even though you can wait and watch it at home or get a dodgy copy of the latest blockbuster on the internet through various means, going to the cinema is a social leisure experience. If football clubs get it right there will always be a significant market for live sport. Especially as the customer base shows brand loyalty like in few other industries.

Your not worried that they are going to increase prices again and price fans out of wanting to attend Ewood leading to much smaller crowds? You're not worried that potentially a season ticket next year for the BBE could be 25% more expensive than the last time we stepped foot in Ewood ?

Only rounds 1&2 in the league one season.

He was doing well before injury but he's been poor since he returned.

Let me guess. You saw the teamsheet and didn't bother to risk your £180. 😀😀

It was almost as though he doesn't know how to play centre half.

Yep. The truth is that Mowbray and his staff have just been a bad judge when it comes to spending our budget on some players, and he repeatedly gives players chances to the detriment of the team to try and justify the money spent on them.

5 unbeaten as well but too many draws.. Looks like their owners seriously want to get in the play offs at least.

I was replying to the suggestion we should release him as he is out of contract.

You don't think Holtby and Johnson have done enough, but you think Bell has?

A lack of attention to the defence in numerous transfer windows is coming home to roost here. I'd rather Douglas at RB than Buckley, but the whole back 4 looks shaky as hell. Dropping Rothwell but retaining Gallagher and bringing back in BB looks like we are picking teams on their transfer values again. Fortunately Birmingham are a perennial mediocre outfit who struggle to score goals so we may get away with it.

Tippy tappy shite. Let's see if we have a plan B this time.

I've backed Dimitri Van Den Bergh. Already a major winner this year. He's 22/1 because he is in MVG's quarter of the draw, but MVg has been very beatable this year and if that inflates VDB's price even better.

It said same rules as the nationwide lockdown except for places of worship. So therefore I presume they can.

I said it a couple,of games ago, I'll say it again. Tippy tappy shite with no plan B.

His vision to pick out a pass forward is something we haven't seen in a very long time. I recall Berkovic coming in and having the same ability at this level back in 2001. Difference being this lad is only 17 and has hardly played any professional football.

Mowbrays problem is stubbornness. Even his disciples, sorry, people who think he is doing very well, must surely admit that Gallagher on the wing very rarely bears fruition. Every time he got the ball wide last night it was held up and laid back to whoever was supporting him, thus ending of the impetus of the move. The couple of times he did try to go at the full back he lost it. When Elliot, Nyambe, Dolan or even Brereton get the ball in that position there's a chance we will actually keep the impetus going. Yet it took until the 90th minute before Mowbray decided this wasn't working and brought Dolan on. I'd be amazed if Gally isn't back out there come Saturday.

Except then 😀

Holtby and Terybull on.
