Hasta

I saw my first positive attribute on a Saturday. He's direct. He got the ball, wanted something to happen and drove in to the penalty area forcing the penalty when others would have stayed wide waiting for support. However he still doesn't look a natural dribbler and don't show enough to change my opinion of what he has co tributes so far. For the record, you can actually think that Mowbray is doing a great job and think BB has been poor so far. The opinions aren't linked.

Because of the fireworks I would imagine. Also well done to whoever decided to reopen the concourse kiosks for refreshments again after the full time whistle.

I'd say whoever thinks we played Swindon in league one last year doesnt have a clue!

Poor, poor game with no standout performers outside of the defence. 0-0 would have suited that game to a tee but it's a massive 3 points. Looking at this game and the Bolton game, we are beginning to win ugly - and that cant be a bad thing!

Just watching the fireworks. That's the transfer kitty blown.

4001. I got to admire the tremendous travelling support from within the home end. ?

He said based on what he's seen so far. Nobody yet is saying that we should cancel his contract. All we can go on is his very few appearances he has made so far, where the general consensus is that out wide he has been pretty poor. Now I was one of several people who said wait till he plays a while in his proper position before judgement. TM has just worryingly told us that he feels he IS playing in his proper position.

I've got a posse of people wanting to go to this. I'm going to have to chance it going on open sale to get tickets, but it won't a problem with 5,500.

Corrected

It confuses me that on a rovers messageboard, you don't post your opinions because TM knows better than you. Therefore you will never, ever discuss if you think any team line-up, new signing, in gamd substitution etc.. is any good until we know how it pans out. It confuses me that say you thought TM had 'dropped a so and so' when you saw the line-up, but also say you didn't think TM had got it wrong when you saw the line-up ?

This is what confuses me. Roverfan99 has a point. You say that yesterday you saw the team news and thought "he's dropped a so and so". But you won't post that comment incase your view is proved wrong. Therefore you don't post your view at all. If you think the team he has picked is wrong, then there's nothing wrong with saying it. It's a messageboard to discuss Rovers !!!

God that was a grim day. We are light years away from where we were coming back from boundary park that afternoon.

The way people have been talking since the match finished, I expected that there must have been comments along the lines of "Mowbray should be sacked for that team" or "TM is taking us down again" posted between 2pm and 4pm. If those examples you give are the best (or worst) that there are then come on. Those comments will have been said in many cars and pubs by Rovers fans before the game. In fact, we didnt score until we eventually brought a striker on, and the decision to have 3 strikers on the bench (including one who on radio lancs TM said was unfit so would be unlikely to have been able to feature even from the bench) and not to have a centre half on there is farcical. You may think they are stupid opinions in your view and that's fine. Many others will disagree with you which is fine. However it's posts like this which ruined the post match discussion and made it into what it has now become:- Does saying "To start with no recognised striker and have three on the bench of whom two cost £9million is facical really warrant that reaction on a match thread. Or was that post done to point score and derail?

So if he picks a formations which is unexpected, has no strikers and which none of us would have picked, we are not allowed to question it? We have to just say "that looks great" ? Its posts like this which are point scoring which derail threads from the match.

Rodwell did go off injured. Mowbray seemed to indicate on radio lancs that Graham wasn't fit and was unlikely to be used even though he was on the bench, Bit strange that Downing wasn't on the bench instead, unless he's injured, considering that Brereton and Armstrong were available as striker cover. From the commentary and highlights it seems like great spirit to bring that point back. Superb strike by Reed. Gallagher and co. didn't do it justice on the radio.

Get some strikers and centre halves on the pitch?

We'll destroy them if they have a five-a-side at half time

Well go on then. Enlighten me again. Or at least give me the post number to look at.

I don't think any of you have but I may have missed it. I've certainly not.shot anyone down for it. Therefore, incase I have missed something you all posted that answers the question, I'll ask again. On what we have seen so far on the pitch, why does it look a good bit of business?

And so far, it doesn't look like that has been a good bit of work by them. Thats all we're saying. I don't get why that is even a controveral or polarised opinion.

Right on what exactly? That nobody else's opinion can be right if it contradicts Mowbray comments which is what you have replied to? I've not really followed why your annoyed with other posters on this thread. You normally just post your opinion well and then just move on so I'm not sure what's going on. However leave the trolling posts like this one to others please.

Agree with both your posts. Next season Brereton could be a star but I very much doubt it will be wide right. It's the decision to play him where he looks poor, and where we have other options, that is baffling. In the last couple of games Armstrong has done really well to get into a good crossing position only to turn back on his right foot. He'd be more effective on the right IMO but then somebody else is going to have the same problem on the left, unless they are 2-footed

Your first line is irrelevant to the discussion we are having. The second line is fine if it is in reply to "Was Mulgrew injured last night", but when Roversfan99 gives an opinion that if we are to use Brereton out wide that we should have signed a winger instead, posting Mowbray in reply is irrelevant. Mowbray is never going to say "Actually I wish we'd singed a winger instead."

People post opinions and instead of you posting your opinion, you just post what Mowbray has said. It's like people are arguing with Mowbray through you. See above. Here's another below. Now maybe you agree with the original poster, and disagree with Mowbray, but rather than put your point of view across you are just telling people to listen to Mowbray. But I doubt it.

It is because you keep posting links to what Mowbray says about Brereton, and have said previously when people question your views that "you need to listen to the Mowbray comments I posted yesterday" Such as "You need to listen to Mowbray's comments from yesterday that I have just posted. " But Mowbray, like any manager, will be playing the media game at times. But regardless, you do now see that I didnt say you couldn't quote who you want when you want, but regardless you just threw a wobbler on your previous post !
