Kienan Davis scores Forest’s second. Would you believe it? A January striking recruit, scoring. Again. Crazy stuff.

Mowbray’s gotta be smashing all kinds of records here. ONE goal in 8.5 games. It’s actually incredible quite how poor that is.

Feels like we’ll never score again. Khadra’s winner against QPR should have been the catalyst for more, yet here we are, 1 goal in 8.5 games. Embarrassing.

We simply have to win this. Even the social media ‘a point will always do’ brigade must surely admit that.

Please for the love of God stop saying crap like this every week. You’re far too smart to know that there is no ‘filling boots’ to be had on a Rovers win at the moment, yet you’re still supposedly doing it every match.

Hudds pulling a Rovers from days gone by there.

Yep. And they have that unique ability to be able to put that round thing in the opposition goal. Crazy.

Between them and Bournemouth for 2nd if they keep this up. I don’t think they’ve lost in the league since November.

Zero of his January signings have made an impact and we can’t hit a barn door, Chaddy. If he doesn’t have regrets then he’s an idiot.

Gotcha. Surprised it’s not much worse than that!

Eh? How does that work…we’ve only scored 1 in 8.

Great news to keep hold of Trav - surprised we’ve got that one over the line.* *Who is his agent? 😬

Not far off the Goodwillie/Rooney and other comparisons that the evil snake used to make.

Did you know he can cut back, and whack it on his left peg in the top corner? More waffle here: https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/19984841.blackburn-rovers-no-january-transfer-window-regrets-tony-mowbray/ I’ve posted it in the Bristol City thread, but he’s admitting here that he he signed Hedges despite him not fitting the system.

As I say above though, let’s wait to see if he goes yet. For what it’s worth I imagine he’ll still be here next season!

Jeez, thanks for that @tomphil- I had somehow missed yesterday’s pre-match presser waffle til now. This one sticks out re Hedges: “He’s generally been playing deeper, wide on the right for Aberdeen, in a different system.” Two things: for those who claim he is a ‘forward/striker’ which I’ve seen countless times on social media, he is not. Our own manager has admitted it. Second, why are we signing players for positions that they’ve not played in, at best, for years? ‘Sign players for the system’ I thought, Tony? Lack of recruitment strategy yet again and more BS from our manager.

If we can’t beat this lot at home, even without BBD, then we may as well all pack up, go home and wait for next season.

He also didn’t rate Matt Jansen.

He ain’t there yet Arbitro. They’ve pulled that plan once or twice before.

We’re screwed irrespective of Mowbray thanks to our owners. The club is a shambles off the pitch and it’s showing zero signs of improving a decade on. It’ll catch up with us big time soon - unless by a miracle we go up this season - and my bet is on next year. Crap pitch, half the squad off in the summer, our two bob recruitment team, lack of investment. Could easily go on. I want Mowbray long gone if we don’t go up, but until we have new owners who actually care and can organise us off the pitch, we’ll never be remotely successful.

What a bloody opportunity...if only we had someone who could put the ball in the back of the net.

It does look like the Championship is one level above his ability, and I posted it in the match thread last night, but at least he tried a couple of efforts from the edge of the area. The rest of them could be there til Christmas and not pull the trigger.

IF he were ever fit I'd genuinely be putting Ayala up top for the final 20-30 mins of matches (at least) and just ask Giles to whip balls into the box. It's a better tactic than we're presently going with.

We all know the script here don't we? What frustrates me so much about our lack of goals is the clear lack of set piece training. How are we so poor at them?! When you can't score from open play like us, yet you're tight at the back, set pieces present our best chance of points. Rothwell, Giles and Khadra - all often outswingers, or short corners which lead to zilch. It's tinpot. An Allardyce would have turned so many of these 0-0's and 0-1's into 1-0's and 1-1's.

Oh he'll bring in some forwards alright. Wide forwards/winger types with under 10 career goals to their name.
