Are you saying he has cheated to assist Bournemouth wins? Fulham have a 0% win rate with Stroud this season - should Fulham complain about that?

 

Those Fulham stats, to me, just adds fuel to the fire.  Are you saying he hasn't?  Of course you are.  Hard to say if he's crooked or not without details of the games and decisions made.  May get a better idea after Saturday.

It's absolute nonsense and insulting to suggest that Keith Stroud will favour Bournemouth in any way, shape or form. He might not be the best in somebody's view, get things wrong but questioning his integrity is simply wrong.

Him reffing this game is wrong. 90% win ratio, from the area coincidence huh?  AND. a Luton fan to boot, and some say there is no reffing conspiracy by the league.

It’s not going to come to that unfortunately.

Yeah, you are right.

So if us and Biro are in with a shout last day, will nobbers give it to boro just to stick it to us?

Kieffer Moore, back from injury after signing in January, made the difference for fourth division Bournemouth. That's the value of their investment and spending some decent money, players like that rescue points and win matches. Contrast to our lack of activity in the window - a couple of good forwards to replace the injured Brereton and the ineffective Gallagher could have saved our season

Should have been off against Swansea but remarkably the ref missed it.  Imagine that!

What will screw us is both our rivals, Luton and Sheff U get to play the team already on it's hols, Fulham they will gift em.

Season over so they return to form when it doesn't matter

This Rovers team and the club's management have cheated the fans

It's almost as if they planned it.....

 

Kinda what I said.  It matters to Mowbary, it helps secure him a new fat contract.  Look Madame look how close I got us.

Anyone surprised?  Another disgraceful officiating performance.  Why does he let go pushes in the back that were way worse than the "push" against Diaz he used to disallow the goal.  Pre-empting both Posh's goals were fouls on our lads.

Edun two yellows, soft both.  Foul on Gallagher open route to goal not even given.  Foul on Dolan by the area waved away to see a softy given to Posh for falling down shortly after.  I am sick to death if iur games being decided by the men in the middle.

Please Venkies get rid of this clown now.  Really honestly Venkies, do you have even the Moggiest idea what is going on?

Haha as much as I respect him as a manager there's no chance I'd want him here. (and even less chance he'd even consider it anyway) 

 

Allardyce is history, I always saw Dyche as a more modern Allardyce mkII. 

Don't know why not.  Dyche with a few bob could do wonders for this team. Go get him I say.

Get our clown out and get Dyche in

I can't believe dingles did this, it's nit like they backed him very well.

I'd have him in before kick off.

Be careful what you wish for I suppose.  I remember when Ciyle got the dingles oromited there was plenty on here wished we had him.  Eventually we did the rest is history.

It's curious how Damien Johnson appears to have been ostracised by Mowbray. At one time he had a decent presence in the Technical Area but I can't remember the last time I saw him not sat down. Instead we have Benson showing the oncoming substitutes the flip charts (btw what the fuck is that all about) on the touchline. In fact it was funny yesterday when one of the substitutes was ready to come on. The board went up, the player was ready and Benson appeared to show him diagrams of who knows what. It only delayed the change for a few seconds but once again it looked Blackburn Sunday League level.

He probably called Mowbray out and is being shafted.  If we the fans see it assistant coaches and the players do. Hard to give your best when you don't believe in what you are doing because you know it's stupid.

Ewood Express, I was on it as well. 

League Liner I thought.

Really can't see past another manager manufactured defeat.

After that humiliation we will start to win games narrowly missing out on the playoffs, Mowbray there by securing another contract.  I said all this earlier he's engineered all this.

We were 2nd in February that’s the magnitude of this seasons death spiral. 

The sad thing is, really sad thing, that in our heart if hearts most of us knew it was coming.  To me that's damning.

6. He has brought some much needed stability but when it comes to the big games and getting results when it really matters then he hasn't got the bottle.

He's got a long proven track record of doing really well up to Christmas then blowing it in the new year. Ultimately that is not good enough. 

He doesn't deserve any ill will but he has not earned a place amongst the managerial legends at this club despite his long tenure. 

Ultimately he will be somewhat anonymous in the annals of Rovers history, just one more in a long line of managerial mediocrity that has come to be the hallmark of the Venkys reign. 

Thing is at what point does stability become considered stagnation.

I am a 5 out of 10.  Loses point from me for his poor poor handling of players.  Focusing in sertain individuals for dropping.  For doggedly oersiting game after game with his stupid positioning ideas that clearly don't work.  All the world see it except ToMo and Venkies.

His inability to arrest a slide and for this last transfer window. (Scandalous that)  We are in the top six, maybe in with a shout of Auto's if he signs a decent striker. 

Can I still sign up and get all 101 -105 posted to the U.S., I completely forgot about this and would love to have them.

Sickening, but fully deserved. We've had a disgraceful 2022 and Mowbray will now be remembered for a record home defeat and blowing our best chance at promotion in a decade just as much as getting us out of League 1. 

Don't forget longest home spell without a goal.  Might be a longest without a win title for him too not sure.

Blackpool won 1 in 10 away games. Next up Rovers.

Bristol City conceded 55 goals in 25 away games and kept 2 clean sheets. Both at Ewood.

 

2 in 11 then.

Fightin words from Dacky but does it matter when the managers selections start the team off handicapped.

Reading was a painful defeat this was a dagger in the heart, with a twist.  As long as Mowbray is in charge we will not see top 6, never.

First game back, on ESPN, Coventry not so good, we need the 3 points so a defeat is the order of the day

Outfought and out-thought by Ince.  

This was his big chance under us, it's looking like we've blown it... 

Amazingly I am not surprised 

We have blown it.  These last four games should have seen us consolidated in the playoff places, hot on the heels of The Cherries.  Disgraceful management, he does it every season.

What a thoroughly depressing read, and I agree that it is all going to happen.

For those of us getting on a bit we mat never see the end of these conmen lackeys.

Venkys - The Lost Years and counting.

I have resigned myself sometime ago that I will not live long enough to see us back in the Prem.  Sad but true.  After Reading I am devastated.

I only came on in the hope he'd been fired and DJ announced as caretaker.  Can't do any worse.

The turning point was BBD's injury and Rothwell's head being turned.  We've looked poor since.

I agree that TM could have done more and I fancy a change this summer, but many of the names lauded here over the past two years have done little better, or indeed worse that TM.  So tread carefully.

Postponement of Hull away, big turning point 

Get him gone, please.  How long since Reading kept a clean sheet?
