Don’t know whether Tony does Sunday football...but the bloke who was told to learn from Evans and Smallwood has just been outstanding for Fulham against Liverpool...he must have learned well.! ......and, he played centre mid !!!!!

If only Mowbray had played to the strengths of the individuals at his disposal....if only he played them in their natural positions .....today was a bit of a Travis moment ( played him because he had to...no alternative) ... If only we had someone who could assess the true value of skill and positional awareness If only....

Glad of the points.....just as 6 defeats don’t sack him...1 win shouldn’t save him ...

...that’s my point !

Fast forward to the start of next season...which league will we be in ? ....if and when the gates of Ewood open it might only be then that the length of Mowbray’s time here and the damage done will be measured.... With Mowbray and his back room staff, Championship....empty seats.....an almost empty ground. With Mowbray and his back room staff, League 1 ....empty seats....an almost empty ground Without Mowbray and his back room staff, Championship ......seats taken as hope springs eternal Without Mowbray and his back room staff, League 1 ....seats taken , the start of a new era. We can be a fickle fan base .....we’ve overcome/ become accustomed to the Venkys regime.....but we cannot and will not accept this group of ill equipped men ....” by skill and hard work “ ...I wish

I agree @den...winning games is important...but, it’s more than that for me...I will be on his back until he 1 develops our Cat 1 players ( currently they are hammered into confidence less shells ..or sent on loan to be replaced by inferior bodies 2 admits / or does something about the fact that he is dreadful defensively in his set up and his signings 3 Improves the mental and physical fitness if the squad 4 Shows that he understands and executes systems of play 5 Shows a pride in our club by letting others worry about us instead of us being scared of an opponent’s left back ( meaning changes to our play and personnel) 6 Plays each player to his strength 7 Tells the truth 8 Shows the the fan base a little respect instead of condemning what we feel / say 9 Puts his brain in gear before addressing the current issues with the press It’s not much to ask....I would think a standard job spec for most clubs....and he fails on every point. The damage is vast ...I will be in his back until we recognise our club again

I often agree with your posts but........to have Tony directing anything remotely connected with the first team fill me with dread. I have no room for sentiment....the cut needs to be clean....and soon .

Don’t worry chaps....he’ll be turning more stones on Monday...the best we can hope for is ....he will find one big enough for himself, Venus and Waggott to crawl under ...

Have you ever seen a more woeful set of “ men” in our shirts ? I can take limited ability....but this is as limited as it gets ...and as for yer man TM ..... no words . He’s been leaving no stone unturned ....I think he found some of these under them.....

...very interesting read in The Telegraph....” Im here from 7 in the morning till 7 at night....I leave no stone unturned...” Tony......you need to look under some other stones lad......these are bringing you nothing....and to do that for 12 hours a day .There must be a better way of earning a living... Dear me ...

Remember the song......” Tony had a dream, to build a football team “????? Well, at the last night’s final whistle this was it... 4 loanees 1 right back he doesn’t rate and plays when he has to 1 Irishman getting minutes in his legs before the next international 1 36 year old who couldn’t sign a contract in summer but could when he’d had no other offers in January 1 6 million pound striker on the left wing 2 players subbed ( Dack and Travis )looking broken and half the players they were. .............some team Tony , some journey .....

No interest in talking about any player.....we have much to say about their poor performances...but they are what they are because of him....he signed them, he coached them, he regressed them, he bollocked them ......and their body language says it all ...empty shells wearing blue and white shirts....

Venkys gave me a very bitter taste in my mouth ....I wrote to The Indian Times , I wrote to Jack Straw, I vented my feelings on National and Local radio, I attended meetings in the hope that the heart of our club could be massaged into life......I didn’t think I would enter Ewood again but, old habits die hard...and I did. As the years have gone my love has not lessened..but, I’ve become indifferent to what I watch , my dummed down expectations are exactly that. BUT ....to be conned, used and broken by Mowbray, Venus and Waggot hursts far more ....I told myself that the Indians couldn’t help it .....these 3 manipulative buggers can.....that taste is now even more bitter...and what can we do other than watch and listen to the s..t that comes from their mouths ....any sensible answer would be appreciated

..don’t think Neill would be that much better than Mowbray...yes, he’s had little to spend but his set up is negative......” let’s keep at 0-0 and pinch one “ ...we have to aspire . We need new blood, new ideas, someone with tough standards and expectations...someone of the 21st century....maybe The Cawley brothers are worth a shout ...and , before replies ask , “ who would come here ?”.....who wouldn’t??? If Venkys continue to support financially, with the young players we have and have coming through....and a fan base hungry, desperate for a new leader....there’s much to commend our club. They’ve got to be thinking...”.If they’ve given Mowbray that long and that amount of money.....I would be the equivalent of The Messiah.

We have a non existent “ board “ , we have absent owners, we have “ an honourable man “ way out of his depth , we have a back room staff who are more interested in Zoopla ...but we have a club to fight for.... unless these “players “ show more balls than fist pumps were buggered..I plead with them to show some courage, to show some fight for their own careers... they can bring him down ....remember Sherwood and Hodgson ( thought Sherwood was very wrong , by the way ) ...but we are in desperate times ....and as for David Dunn appearing to be in the Mowbray camp .....sick ...but, then again, it was always about David.

I find the number of “injuries “ very interesting. How many injuries do , for example, Burnley get ? They have a team who knows what it’s doing, a back room team who keeps them fit physically , a manager who does his best by them....and a mental fitness that they WANT to be a part of . What do we have ? Hamstrings, calves, groins , “ lack of match fitness “ , some played way before they’re fit ( Dack Travis ) ...then there’s Ayala “ I’ll play when I like “.......good clubs , run well , managed well , have players in good number who actually WANT to play ....if you were Gallagher, Nyambe, Brererton, Davenport , Butterworth, Rothwell would you want to play under the current “ regime”.......they don’t bust a gut to put the shirt on because he’s not worth playing for...and it’s easier than being hung out to dry The whole mentality is WRONG ... the whole mentality is Mowbray

...too true....but WILL fans return to Ewood with Mowbray still in post .....I will not be one ...I am at the point where I detest him.

My only hope is a dressing room “ revolt “....Mulgrew clearly had words which forced his exit......Maybe Lenihan’s “ injury “ came out of his mouth....they have to appreciate they are being ruined, laughed at, vilified ....all because of him....come on boys....if ever there was a day to fight for a career , the shirt and the club...it’s today .

....no longer any pain....that he’s what he has reduced me to. He is a very poor coach, a poor judge of a player ....and a man who cannot tell the truth... honest, wonderful human being Tony......a liar “I will not be a burden “ , like the rest of his men. Disgusted ...cannot stand to look at him .

Not watching this one...I got off at the last stop ...I didn’t fancy the rest of the journey......I couldn’t cope with images of Mowbray ..miserable, hunched, mute.....relying on your updates on here ....it’s less painful.....judging by your comments....bet Gallagher and Brererton wish they had got off too . Employers have a duty of care.....what Mowbray has done to these 2 is scandalous.....

Just watching Coventry City , the team Tony left on their arse , play Brentford off the park( on a borrowed pitch ) all post Tony . .....maybe our day will come.....No training ground, ground sharing at t’ Turf ...so much to look forward to

No interest....he’s still here ..... road to nowhere continues .

Wow.....what depressing words.....clearly, he’s lost it......someone at the club should be putting him out of his misery. The dressing room needs to have some balls ....

When you’re employed in a field of work you love it’s sometimes very difficult to let go ...but anyone with an ounce of common sense or sensitivity knows when time is up....you see it in people’s eyes, you hear it in what is no longer said , you sense it in your everyday dealings with your colleagues. .... I’m pretty certain Mowbray doesn’t spend his days trawling these pages but....he must know / feel / sense / hear from anyone employed by the club that the respect has gone. ... I can’t feel sorry for him....I feel an anger that we lifted him from dire straits following his Coventry debacle ( yes he “ got “ us promoted...but, in reality, he couldn’t fail ) .... He stands as a man of dignity...and courage ...and sometimes the most courageous thing to do is admit failure ....yes failure.....8 windows, no style of play....I don’t need to continue to list ....IF he is that man of dignity and courage he would go, for the sake of the club.....but maybe it’s a myth ....not only can he not set up a defence....he can’t honour his word ....a sad day

So much frustration on here. ....but, it is what it is We are a broken club...run by Indians, managed by cowboys ....yet we are unable to express the heartbreak, disgust and embarrassment that we currently feel. ...any chance of contacting India ? ....any chance of Twitter to Pasha ? .....any chance of a written response from Waggott? .....any chance of Bayes or Sharpe really being the journalists they are meant to be ? NONE .....these are dark days .....we are in limbo and Mowbray and his merry men know they are safe...but, when these dark Covid days end ..he will be charged as guilty.....Ewood will be empty...it will be a shell ....
