Has anyone heard anything? Is he really staying.. cant bloody believe it

I think Championship has been at its worse this year. The quality is so low and even the better teams are simply average. Think that all 3 teams that go up might end up being relegated back to the championship at the end of next season. When was the last time that this happened?

One way or another, will he be gone by the beginning of the new season?

Brutal

I bet JRC stays and I'm not too bothered about Rothwell, a frustrating player. 

He frustrates you only because you know that he could do better.  Either way, he outperforms any of the other mids we have almost every week, so Id rather have Rothwell performing on 20% of his ability than Evans, Johnson, Buckley etc. performing on 100%

He surely knows the majority of the fans, if not all, want him gone. The journalists ask him, the players seem unsupportive or at least quite, he is trending on social media and random rumours are flying around. Yet he is still here. It’s laughable now but I cant imagine how he feels.  Either, he doesn’t care at all or he has some iron nerves. Either way we are foocked. 

What I hate the most is that Mowbray tries to pursue and justify the image of an honourable and decent guy. If he had never said that he is a man of honour who loves the club and would rather walk before he has become a burden for the club, then I would have probably assumed that the guy is maybe clueless but perhaps ambitious and determined to get things right. I would have maybe thought that he is a fighter with perhaps a strict philosophy, who follows somewhat of a plan of action and who would rather fight until the very end instead of giving up because he has his own principles that he believes in. Instead he got found out as a complete lier and a fraud and that annoys the hell out of me

“Maybe because of the extra injuries those teams get, and we fall into that category like Southampton in the Premier League and like us they’ve dropped away pretty badly and maybe that might be because of the situation of trying to play high intensity football in a season where the games are coming every three days"

Wanker

He is taking the piss. Unbelievable 

Fraud of manager and a terrible terrible person

I think that if he was to be sacked he would have been by now. Unfortunately, I cant see him resigning too so we will probably have him next year here aswell..

Rothwell has been nothing short of sensational here. Our best player in the squad IMO.

I think he is the best player in the squad but he has been average at best today

So only Costello, Rothwell, Brereton, Dolan and Gallagher(once included) will play out of position today. Not bad

oh wait - I forgot Elliot for Dolan as a false striker at some point too.

Cant believe Mowbray is still here. I wouldn't be able to look at myself in the mirror if I were him. 

Do you guys feel like Dack is always annoyed with whatever Dolan does or is it just me?

Why is he unpopular?

I meant in here. Don’t think many people have heard of him.

He is quite popular in Bulgaria. Currently unemployed. Was offered the Levski Sofia and Ludogorets positions but didn’t take them as he doesn’t want to manage in Bulgaria and quite understandably so. 

There is this Bulgarian manager called Stanimir Stoilov, he did miracles with Astana. Got them into champions league a couple of times, which he also did with Levski Sofia a couple of years before that.

He is an unpopular name that Id be more than happy with

Kaminski- top 6 

nyambe- top half

lenihan- not good enough in my opinion, would happily sell

ayala- seems a mistake, too 6 in his day, not sure he will ever be physically able anymore

williams- not good enough

loan guys/ we shouldn’t be loaning centre backs, that’s a fault of management. Not ready 

bell- not championship

douglas- doesn’t suit us

Wharton- haven’t seen enough. Probably should have been blooded much sooner

holtby- not consistent, not fit, no good

johnson- too old now, not too 6

trybull- nope

evans- barely championship quality, not top 6

travis- top 6

dack- inconsistent, on his day top 6, needs to work hard to get back to where he was

downing- too old

chapman- not managed correctly 

Costello/- not seen enough

buckley/ lightweight, not top 6

gallagher- nope, poorly managed 

armstrong- top 6 but needs managed better to become less selfish and working on 1 v 1s to utilise his pace

rothwell- nope, has talent but doesn’t use it , would be a league 1 show pony 

Davenport- poorly managed, not top 6 on current viewing

elliot- shining light but not our player 

manager- league 1 

Rothwell would most likely play in the Premier League for a decent manager who can get the best out of him, than be a league one show pony.

Top 6 its not so much about some amazing and world class footballers, its about managers who can organise their teams and players who can outperform the opponents.

Perhaps, Kaminski, Douglass, Ayala, Nyambe, Travis, Rothwell, Dack, Arma, Holtby and even Lenihan could all do a job in certain top 6 clubs.

Has anybody come up with some logical bullshit for why Armstrong is captain today and not, say, Travis?

Tbf he is having one of his best games for us.

He would still be better than Gally in that position

The sad part is that this is actually true. 

I cant see Mowbray starting with Nyambe today. This would make his decision to leave him out of the squad on Wednesday even more shocking and questionable.

Who would leave someone out of the squad for no reason just to include him in the starting 11 three days later?

If he does, that would pretty much imo scream ‘I have absolutely no idea what I am doing’

We have had some good passers of the ball over the years - Tugay, Cairney even Holtby now to name just a few, but who is in your opinion the worst one?

I am struggling to pick one between Lenihan and Gallagher but Id probably go with Lenihan just because of all them miss kicked passes that he has made when chasing a goal in the stoppage time of our games this season.

Either way, how can both be so bad at passing the ball is beyond me.

Can someone provide some statistics or something?

We have come to the point where Mowbray needs to go. I know that from an outside point of view it might look like he is doing well in the small Blackburn Rovers football club, but if he stays for any longer, he risks losing completely the respect that he had undeniably won of pretty much 80-90% of the supporters. If this charade continues he could easily be remembered as another Keane or Coyle.

Is Mowbray deliberately trying to get the sack?

Brings off Nyambe who had absolutely no need to come off, replaces him with a centre forward Gallagher,  then after humiliating him for 10 mins hauls him off as well and brings on the City lad.

2 substitutes completely wasted.

Speechless, dumbfounded, flabbergasted you name it.

 

Yeah honestly like wtf

5 or 10 years from now, Gallagher will give an interview and he will say how stupid Mowbray was to play him on the wing, how lost and confused he felt out wide and how Mowbray destroyed all of his confidence. 
I am sure.

Gallagher is unreal. What a waste of bloody shirt. Cant make a simple pass
