Dolly blue

Some seem to be surprised by the change of events second half....after 45 minutes they went into a tactician.....we went into Mowbray

His team mirrors him....broken, clueless, shapeless....lacking in intelligence. How those players feel right now .....rudderless...anyway....on a brighter note, at least Nyambe will have enjoyed his evening .

Let’s just hope that this is enough

Sadly, I’m at the stage where I couldn’t give a toss who he picks....the fact he’s picking it means he’s still here....

Still reeling from Mowbray’s LT interview where his words used to surprise me but they now make me weep ....I would take a defeat tonight if it hastened his departure and that of his weary back room staff. I come to this decision based on current league position , the teams yet to face...Brentford, Swansea, Watford, Norwich...and others who will be far better coached and managed to face a run in than we are .... He will be nowhere near the top 6 and all we are doing is treading water...if we get rid now there’s a chance of contracts being signed, of has beens being removed , of a fan base entering Ewood again ....do you remember the promotion game ... “ We’re on our way back “......we are most definitely...on our way back to mediocrity, feeble acceptance....and don’t tell me no manager would take it ....as @Mattyblue said this job is a gig and a half.... I will take defeat at Barnsley tonight.....my God....just how far have we fallen

Well...the morning after the night before.... kaminski....looking at the carnage in front of him Nyambe ....looking for the exit door Lenihan.....looking a cross between a pub player and a half decent defender Branthwaite...looking a little boy in a man’s body Douglas ....looking finished Travis ....looking unfit and too heavy Davenport ....looking bemused Rothwell .....looking, as ever, a 1 game in 5 man Dack ....looking a mere shadow of Bradley Gallagher ......looking for the “ How to play right back “ manual Armstrong....looking for no one, head down Mowbray.....looking for the answers Venus and Lowe....looking in the same place as Mowbray Venkys.....looking away We, the faithful, looking for help .....

This terrible lock down is the reason why turnstiles are not turning at Championship clubs ...post lockdown Mowbray will be the reason why turnstiles will not be turning at Ewood . By the time Venkys address this current manager our fan base will be diminished beyond words .. who will watch “ that “..even the one eyed have closed it .

I never swear , I dislike foul language...but this performance is the most fucking dire 90 minutes I have seen in a long time. Shite Mowbray....you are an embarrassment to this club.....thank God the gates are locked

Chaddy .....I cannot believe that you feel this message board goes “ into meltdown after 10 points from 4 games “ ......get a grip man ....Most posts convey a far bigger picture... the journey, the slow build, the inability to progress a player, limited tactical awareness, square pegs / round holes, a team which mirrors his demeanour, some weary signings, a slow death , jam tomorrow ......bugger all to do with the last 4 games .....where have you been for the last 3 plus years ???????? Mowbray is one lucky man that Ewood is empty....he’s had far too easy a ride .... don’t be sucked in with the last 4 games....did you actually WATCH the performances ??????

..uncoached, unmanaged, unplanned ...just 11 blokes in blue and white halves.....sadly, they’re our blue and white halves..

...and still Mowbray has those who believe in him .....

Leonard......apart from my glaring error of Wearside for Teeside.....I’m not sure where the dishonesty is ??.....I haven’t mentioned dishonesty in any way......just poor judgement in the circumstances we found ourselves .

Thanks for the correction Herbie.....posted this at 0-0 ....should have realised my error ...then the goal came !

Me too!

This is shocking ......do we ever meet during the week.....? chapman just got his second ....at least Shrewsbury can get something out of Middlesbrough

Mowbray knew, every man and his dog on Wearside knew, most followers of the championship knew ....could be a class act but.....with glass legs , a very poor approach to fitness and the hard yards required for that fitness...the signing of Ayala should never have happened. Once again.....Tony at his “ love of Boro best “.....scandalous signing when he knew the fragility of his back 4 .

This is a message for K- Hod .....is the like button no longer available....or is it me ! Many thanks

It’s not that the playing and training at Ewood last week did any good..... they looked 11 individuals.....maybe they’ll be better off the grass , Tony . or....with someone who knows what the grass is for ?

I wish I shared your optimism......I can see very few committing to Ewood whilst Mowbray is at the helm....what’s he ever done for Nyambe ? ....only played Travis when forced....Davenport must see his opportunities limited.....Armstrong will have eyes elsewhere.......Lenihan has regressed .

That is exactly my point ! Many teams , in many leagues are images of their management....and many managers create/ coach / organise their players to yield something where the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. We have the parts .....but the sum is far less .....the world of Mr Tony Mowbray ......

Haven’t seen this message board as flat for a long time. We are weary ...and it shows.. ...it’s a bit like what’s happening on the pitch.... ..any doubt as to why ???

For once in my life ....I don’t give a toss who starts on Tuesday ...I have been Mowbrayed....finished ....

....don’t forget ...” we’re on a journey 😰”

This is our club Mowbray...it MATTERS to us ....your time here now is toxic....you are despised ....why can’t you see it , or feel it.....If we were inside Ewood.....you would hear it

Before kick off many commented on this lineup ....best for a while, returnees like Dack, Travis....new signing Branthwaite.....but................they fail to mention ....it makes no bloody difference....Mowbray is in the dugout.... clueless, without inspiration, without drive ....he looks pitiful. Nothing changes !
