Our lack of ambition became obvious during the summer window. Some desperate panic moves on the last day doesn't change that. I believe we're far more likely to be relegated under Mowbray than promoted. One of these days we won't be able to pull the nose up from these frequent tailspins, and once that time comes we will likely be in an extremely precarious position even if the manager is removed. Realistically for Rovers to get promoted with Venky's at the helm we will need a manager who can significantly overachieve. Mowbray is not that man. He can meet realistic expectations, but there's no evidence in his past history or his time here that he can exceed them. Every season he's here will be a season wasted in mid-table, or perhaps worse when/if Venky's decide the plan isn't working and go through their next round of budget cuts.

With Stoke and Huddersfield both beginning to revive themselves we had better start looking over our shoulders. Keep throwing away points as we are doing and it won't be long until we're fighting to stay in the division. -

Cringiest moments in Rovers history?
DE. replied to Amo's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Shebby/Agnew/Shaw has to be up there too. Three absolute morons fighting for crumbs at a rotten table - whilst getting paid handsomely to do so. -
I said a few weeks ago it feels like we're at the start of one of Mowbray's death spirals where we can't buy a win. At some point in the next couple of months we'll pick up a win and probably a few good results after that, causing the usual suspects to crow "have faith in TM", "get behind the lads ffs", etc, but the reality is that we're stuck in a bleak holding pattern which will see us go absolutely nowhere under this manager. Change is needed, but there's no way Venkys will know that and no way they'll get in anyone better even if Mowbray goes. We're stagnating from the very top and have been since the day the Trust sold us down the river.

Scoring two goals against a poor team at home should mean a win. Unfortunately thanks to our embarrassing defending that isn't the case. However, rather than work on this obvious Achilles heel we decided to let the lads spend the last week sunning themselves abroad. No ambition whatsoever. -

Mowbray's soft lads collapse again. 2 points from 12 and if the clock isn't ticking on Mowbray's time here it certainly should be. -

He's a right winger who wins a lot of useless aerial duels. That's it. £5m well spent. -

You've got the wrong idea. Evans is being brought on to protect the point. -

We're falling apart here. Our soft mentality once again causing a self-destruction. -

We didn't score first unfortunately so the odds are massively against us to say the least. Literally been years since we've won a match in the league after conceding first. -

Huddersfield's first proper spell of dominance and they score. Like a knife through butter. Very poor but unfortunately a staple of the Mowbray era. A shame as we've looked excellent going forward, but we're so weak at the back that it just doesn't matter. -

Easily the least effective of our front options. Holtby, Dack, Downing all been very good. Armstrong largely anonymous. Would rather have Rothwell in there. Think he'd shine playing alongside Dack and Holtby. -

Was obviously losing the race for pace but did really well to hold his position and then slid in at just the right time. -

Holtby is on another level - different class. -

Really strong end to the first half. Huddersfield looked shellshocked by conceding the equaliser and never really recovered. Hopefully we can keep that momentum going in the second 45. -

Can see how much Dack is enjoying finally playing alongside someone on a similar level. -

Is it me or do we always play much better when injuries force Mowbray to pick a team he doesn't want to pick? All those people who wanted Dack sold in the summer, give your head a wobble. Assist and a goal again, our most creative player by far. -

Holtby looking superb so far. Nyambe doing well on the right as well. -

Definitely didn't pull him down. Bennett's arm touched the bloke's thigh and he went flying like he'd been hit with a baseball bat. Total cheating but that's football nowadays. What a gift from Huddersfield. Wow. -

1 or 2 points from 12 after this match now. Need to be looking to replace Mowbray ASAP. -

Bennett being a clumsy idiot manages to fall over and give away a penalty. Wasn't even a tackle, just tripping over his own feet. Remember we never win matches after going behind, so this one's effectively over. -

Yep, back 4 with Armstrong up top according to Sky. -

There's a huge difference between the Championship and League 1/2 nowadays, so a terrible footballer at this level could certainly do a job at League 1/2 level.
