Not exactly a thriller. Think Tony slips them a sedative just before kick off. They're worse than us and that's saying something.

What a classless bunch they are. Singing derogatory songs about a player as they're getting stretchered off. Cook swearing and arguing every decision. Morsy wandering around acting like the thug he is. I could go on. On the other hand, as much as I dislike Cook, he got his tactics spot on. Slowed down our transitions and passed it well and got stuck in. They'll be too good to go down.

Well. That's one way to eradicate optimism and any excitement that fans felt before kick off. What a pile of garbage. Completely fallen into Cook's plan of stop any quick transitions by letting Williams and Nyambe start the attacks and neither can pass a ball.

An excellent win. Full credit to the manager who got tactics and selection and preparation spot on. He got a lot of stick a month ago, from myself included, but since then has revitalised the team. Well done the players too. Hard to pick the team for Wigan now. Johnson looked a colossus today.

Wow. The magic of the cup is alive and kicking. What a garbage draw.

He talks as much rubbish as Coyle used to. When will someone ask him or point out to him that he clearly doesn't use the same criteria when it comes to starting Armstrong who contributes next to nothing? He's the only idiot who thinks Rothwell shouldn't be starting.

This article sums up Mowbray perfectly. He clearly hasn't changed. 17SPL wins out of 30 is a disgrace. No wonder he was potted.

That's a sackable offence. Maybe someone should remind Tony of these stats next time he's interviewed. Or maybe the players too when they're spouting rubbish about momentum. Fed up of insipid, toothless performances. Fans have paid a fortune to watch Rovers away this season and nearly every game they've been garbage.

Tony is that you? Or maybe it's someone at Radio Lancs feeling a little sensitive to criticism.

We haven't scored 3 or 4 all season in the league which is in itself a disgrace and a sackable offence. Can someone also ask that moron of a manager why would you bring on a defensive midfielder who never ever scores when you're one goal down and leave arguably our second best midfield player Rothwell on the bench? That is also a sackable offence. Can Andy Bayes or Scott Reed or Ian Chisnell or Dan Jewell ,or whoever at Radio Lancs, do the job they are paid for and ask our dinosaur of a boss this question because it is baffling and moronic in the extreme?

One shot on target is embarrassing. Tony needs to go. But he won't sadly. Said it on another thread but Radio Lancs need to do their job and ask some tough questions to Mowbray. Graham Liver and co don't hold back on MPs but the sports team never ever do the same to managers. Sad and smacks of protecting themselves.

Would be nice if Radio Lancs and Andy Bayes did their job and ask Tony some tough questions. Why persist with Armstrong when it's hard to remember his last good game if he's ever had one? And why has Rothwell been so badly mismanaged when it is clear as day to all inside Ewood that he's one of our best players apart from our dinosaur of a boss? Why bring on Cory Evans when you're one goal down? Why persist with Gallagher when he's garbage and you're only good striker is stuck on the bench? Why spend 5 mill on a non scoring striker when your defence is so crap? Why are we so toothless and insipid away from home ? Why promote the under 23s coach but we know the answer to that? I'm sorry but it's time to thank Tony for his hard work and then hand him his p45.

Mowbray is going nowhere. Can criticise him when he deserves it but think he got it right with his back four today. And obviously the subs too. Graham needs to start every week. He's still class.

Think you have to enjoy the win. You can criticise Tony when he's wrong which he has been a lot recently. But you've got to give him some credit when he makes changes that lead to a win. First half was poor. Second half was a lot better. Thought he got the defence spot on. Nyambe and Tosin played well and Bennett and Williams were solid enough at fullback. Would have Graham on every week from the start and Holtby is class even if he wasn't quite on it today. Looked a bit disappointed to go off. Anyway, a much needed win.

Spot on post. Why spend all your budget on attacking players when it was clear as day the weakness was defence and the man himself admitted it last season? A lot of top centre halfs were available in the summer. He should've moved heaven and earth to get Bauer and Jansson from Leeds. Those two alone instead of Gallagher with Raya behind would have pushed us up the table. But no he would rather buy a non scoring striker to play on the wing. Ridiculous.

They ran like two little rats from a car crash. They should've been potted too. Derby are a disgrace of a club, with further evidence being the Rooney signing so he can advertise the betting company and by pass rules on children advertising gambling firms. And yes I would argue Mokeona should've been fired and so should whoever else done for that offence. Could've killed someone and then ran off. Doesn't change the fact that Keogh also was right to be binned for being an absolute moron.

They've only sacked Keogh because he is injured and is no use for 15 months when he'll be 35. Surely the other two idiots who were driving and then fled the scene like two pathetic cowards should've been jailed, never mind sacked. The fact that they've not been sacked shows how hypocritical and corrupt a club you are dealing with. But then it is the same club who have signed Rooney and given him the number so they can advertise a betting firm and legally get kids who buy the shirt to advertise the firm legally. A scum house of a club that even makes us look good.

All adds up to a complete lack of bottle and a lack of fitness. The reason top teams score late on is their superior mental strength and physical fitness.

Walton was shocking for the first goal and Mowbray quite rightly pointed that out. But Bennett two weeks running has given away cheap soft penalties and not a mention.

The team are a bunch of bottlers. They should have been booed off. Losing after leading 2-0 in a derby is unforgivable. The team is unfit and bereft of leaders. Mowbray out should've been sung loud too. Fed up with the loser mentality that surrounds our once proud club.

Unfit, gutless bottlers. Fed up of the lot of them.

Who voted for Johnson? 21 out of 36 completed passes on Tuesday. Top midfielder.

Not a chance unless it's an absolute hammering which no one wants to see against the only club in lancashire to never see the premier league.

He's made some strange decisions this season. Suddenly playing Armstrong centrally is one. Buying another non scoring striker for big bucks is another. Benching Rothwell and sapping his confidence is one more. It's really sad cos he was massively popular after our promotion season. He just seems so argumentative when interviewed. Clearly Johnson was also promoted to the first team to nullify his threat. Interesting who he picks tomorrow. Got to be Dack and Graham up top for me. Think there's call for a complete freshening up of the team but not sure we'll see it.
