The mythical Gandhi Babu, perhaps?

It was obvious this was going to happen as soon as Bray lost creative control of the character. Giving The Fiend the strap now is a totally dumb decision imo. He doesn't need it and I'd argue it doesn't even make much sense for his character to want it at present. The Fiend as a character should have been built up all the way to WrestleMania, but instead WWE are blowing their load all at once now because he's one of the only characters on the show that the audience genuinely cares about.
-
I would argue it's more the outside social media sphere that perpetuates that myth than this site. Most of us sussed out Mowbray some time ago. He's the same as virtually every other football manager across the land - self-preservation first, everything else a distant second.
-
Wouldn't surprise me. He was reluctant to stay on this season and it's obviously not going well. Still doing better than us mind, but we don't exactly have high expectations.

Leeds (A) - Same as last year lads... kind of.

Bloody ref intercepting all of our passes. -
Aren't injuries what the manager and three-quarters of our fans are blaming our woes on? Maybe they should try and get a word with Johnson and find out what the secret to his success is. Couldn't be anything as simple as having decent backup players and a solid, consistent style that the entire squad is comfortable with. If Venky's had anything about them they would be hauling Waggott and Mowbray to India during the international break and grilling them on what the hell is going on. Of course you and I both know they don't care enough about the club to probably even know where we are in the table, let alone be worried about results, but being so far behind the likes of Preston is embarrassing to say the least.

Same nonsense he's been speaking for a while now. Very much the kind of gibberish you start to hear from managers when they know their time is up and are desperately trying to cling on.
-
Yep, just because a player is a tough, nasty bastard on the pitch doesn't mean he's going to be an unprofessional wanker off of it. Hardnut players who are respected and professional off the pitch are the glue that has held many successful sides together. Problem is Tony only wants soft, timid lads who have some talent but won't ever kick up a fuss.

Completely agree. We routinely fail to register anywhere close to a decent amount of shots on target and regularly let opponents have shots on our goal. The outcome of that over the course of a season is always going to be bad. It's nothing to do with luck. We don't create and we're too easy to play against. Shipping two or more goals in 5 of our last 8 games tells you all you need to know. Injuries are part and parcel of the game, good managers make sure they have enough to get by or do everything they can to minimise the chances of injuries occuring. As far as I can tell we do neither. It isn't bad luck that Cunningham got injured and we only had Bell & Williams as back up. It's a direct result of poor defensive recruitment from the manager, with our reserve players well below the required standard to even fill in much less contribute positively. -

A fair few of us have been saying this more or less since the beginning of September, but I think at this point it's clear Mowbray is purposefully phasing Graham out. Perhaps he's under pressure after the Brereton disaster to play Gallagher and prove that he hasn't wasted another big chunk of money on a striker. Unfortunately evidence thus far suggests he probably has and repeatedly leaving our best striker on the bench in favour of Gallagher or Armstrong is not doing TM any favours. He's dropped two big bollocks with Brereton and Gallagher, and increasingly looking like he's dropped even more in defence and even midfield with the likes of Johnson now behind Evans and Buckley whilst Smallwood continues receiving a wage despite being nowhere near the first team squad. -
We aren't talking about what we should personally be doing, though, we're talking about what we feel the club should be doing in the current circumstances. Doing nothing in the face of clear decline and hoping for the best isn't what I'm looking for from the club's leadership, and I think it's fair to say that even if personally I can do very little to effect the ultimate outcome.

The Relegation Thread (15th edition)

It was a gasp for air after a long period of being underwater, but we're still in very real danger. -
Cringiest moments in Rovers history?
DE. replied to Amo's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Rothwell too. The lad is 25 years old in January and Mowbray still treats him like an 18 year old fresh out of the academy. He sits on the bench whilst the likes of Gallagher and Armstrong are picked regardless of form or effectiveness. You couldn't blame him if he started looking for a move in January. -

In fairness we do already have a relegation thread so I'd say we're further ahead of the curve than most! -

He's made some howlers this season but capable of very good saves too. Don't think he's any better than Raya or Walton really though. -

Just saw Leeds goals again. The penalty was just clumsy from Tosin, but that second goal... absolutely wretched defending. Actually, that's wrong, because it suggests we were trying to defend and just doing it badly. As far as I could tell we actively weren't attempting to defend at all. How can any competent team make it that easy for the opposition inside the box? It's the type of defending you associate with doomed teams and if we're still defending like that nearly three years into Mowbray's reign then alarm bells should be ringing all around Ewood. Of course, we know they aren't. Just bantz about sunshine holidays. -
We're undoubtedly in a downward spiral under Mowbray right now, and most of us are long in the tooth enough to know these situations don't get better. If he isn't removed soon then I think it's highly likely he'll relegate us to L1 for a second time.

Perhaps the likes of Johnson and Rothwell have. The former has suddenly fallen way down the pecking order (apparently behind Evans and Buckley nowadays) and the other is lucky to get twenty minutes. Then there's Mulgrew who was very suddenly tossed down the road to Wigan in the final few hours of the transfer window. -
I'd say the majority of them are these days, if facebook and twitter are anything to go by.

We haven't kept a clean sheet in the league since September 14th. We've conceded at least two goals in 5 of our last 8 games. Mowbray has to go soon, or we're in for a very worrying next seven months or so.

A genuine top six team vs. relegation fodder. We have regressed from last season and Mowbray needs to be cut loose before he does any more damage. We're going to be in a relegation battle under TM this season and that simply isn't good enough. -

Yep, indeed it did ? still just the one on target though. -

Fortunately Leeds have only had three shots on target. Still managed to score two out of three though. -

75 minutes gone and still just one paltry shot on goal.
