Dolly blue

It is a horrible thing to say but it’s so true....It really doesn’t hurt anymore. I can’t believe I’ve just typed that .....I’m angry , but not hurting. ....all brought about , not particularly with the sad decline of the club over time , but by the inane, pathetic, miserable, frighteningly boring words and line ups from Mowbray. If that’s how we feel ...how will your average Jo punter feel about putting his hand into his/ her pocket to pay next season’s prices ....to be a part of THAT Very dangerous times face Mr Waggott et al .....something needs to happen For once it wasn’t the hope that killed me ....it was the man/ men in the dug out ?

WHAT ?????I cannot believe anyone would give him beyond this season....what for? To waste more money ? To de- skill the young players ? To sign more Johnson like journeymen ? To play square pegs in..... To further empty Ewood ? He needs to be gone.....and gone now ...an embarrassment to himself.....I actually cringe when I hear his interviews

It’s just the helplessness of next season .....with him . Depressed doesn’t come near it. Why talk about potential signings ? Why talk about new contracts? ........all pointless conversation with this man and his dreadful backroom staff . We are buggered ?

Radio Lancs and Mark Atkins sound surprised with this performance...where’ve they been all season....we know this is par for the course ... MOWBRAY IS A COMLETE AND UTTER LIABILITY...some say he has the welfare of the club at heart ????????

Idiot Mowbray...full stop. I really hope NOBODY defends the man tonight.....dire, dire, dire

Woeful Mowbray ....you are appalling ? All your doing ...crap selection, crap plan....just crap. ....we’ve soooooo much to look forward to with this dreadful manager !

It’s not in Mowbray’s interest to get near the Premier League ....can you imagine him and his mate Venus locking tactical horns with Klopp ? Sadly, “ jobs for the boys “ is the order of the day at Ewood . No ambition,....we’ve become a rudderless club ...I can take it when we try and fail but I can’t take this soulless, gutless approach. Is there anyone out there who has ANY hope of success next season with Waggott, Mowbray and Venus ?? Please inform me of how you feel this way.

As ever....Tony has us scratching our heads. Does he not know his best 11 ? Does he select his match day squad on sympathy ? Surely , it’s getting to the point where even he has to accept that Bennett and Gallagher aren’t footballers . What does he see in Rothwell ? Why does he play Holtby as a false 9 ? As for the keepers he signs....no words. We will get NOWHERE with Mowbray ....nice man...but that’s where it ends. We have the nucleus of a very good squad with a few acquisitions...but with Tony at the helm ...it will never happen and these lads will be off .

Get well soon a Paul.....were all fighting with you .

People like agents, players at the highest level, and The Premier League disgust me. It’s all about them.....their rights, their contracts, their futures.....sod anybody else . We’ve been saying for years that the top end of football is sick, full of selfish people ....and so it is proven .....still insisting on their rights.....whilst the rest of the country suffers and , sadly in some cases dies. The football world has the chance to right it’s wrongs ....do you think it will ?? .....I don’t....but, please God when these dark and difficult days are over .....we will have our say.....” We will remember them “.......Thank God for the real people out there..our inspiration......those on the front line at this time ......all underpaid but now massively valued. Top flight football come September???? Who cares !

MOWBRAY is NOT the man .....how many more times does it need to be said ? He never was .....he never will be. a tired, out of touch , stubborn manager ....he only found Nyambe at right back because he had no alternative through injury. Same with Travis ....I hate feeling so frustrated, hopeless and angry......all down to you Mowbray.....but...he will tell us to look forward to when he gets his boys back in the grass ..... we can’t look forward with this man.....or with his back room staff or his CEO .....defenders are coming....there will be more of them than fans soon ...bloody seething

So glad I couldn’t make it today ....sorry for the travelling fans who deserve better....when will I ever learn...I even dared to hope ...but...it’s the hope that kills you.....said it time and time and time again....going nowhere with Mowbray and his crew of motley “ coaches “ ....no more words

Comments regarding who to select , who to drop , which formation to play ......pointless. Nothing will change whilst Mowbray and his band of overpaid, under skilled back room staff continue to be employed at Ewood. Its not about budgets...it’s about vision ( Wilder at Sheffield Utd ) Its about scouting ( Brentford ) Its about getting far more than he should out of a squad of very ordinary, low cost players ( Neil at Deepdale ) Our season is over ....and our future seasons are over if we continue with Mowbray and his dour, outdated, ineffective management style. Let’s say thanks to Tony ..but let’s move on ....gates will continue to fall, atmosphere will remain at rock bottom. A new man can assess who is worth keeping, who is worth promoting from the academy ...and we can , maybe hit the ground running in August .There are “ new men “ out there ... If we continue to “Tick along with Tony “......disaster....Im getting to the stage where wins and defeats leave me feeling the same emotion....little hope, little vision

All the mentioned aspects, Bell, Brereton ( fan abuse )...very wrong but.....these are merely symptoms.....the cause is Mowbray....an utterly dreadful manager .....week after week he drains a little more life out of our club......shocking, shocking Mowbray.....you sign , coach and select pitiful players...No. guts.. no hope

I hate what Mowbray dishes up week after week..then more excuses will follow.....you’re a spent man Tony..... If Venkys give him a penny to spend they are more stupid than I thought....he wouldn’t know a player or a system of play if he fell over them ...dire, dire days

Mowbray has, apparently, sat back down......he must be as embarrassed as we are.....what a dreadful manager he is. His signings, his selection , his tactics, his fitness, his coaching, his “ cosy”dressing room his depressing voice..his gloom.....his fault

There is not 1 MAN in a Rovers shirt.

Lots of talk on here about new full backs, goalkeeper, strikers in the January window.......what’s the point? Managers are measured on their ability to 1 Sign players who will better the performance of the club 2 Develop existing players ( Klopp, Rogers, Wilder) 3 Establish a tactical strategy to run through teams at all levels 4 Play systems which bring the most out of the players signed ( round pegs in round holes ) 5 Through body language and press involvement convey positivity and touch line know how ...when meeting players, convince them that this is the club for them .... (Neil at PNE and Patrick Bauer), ( Cowley brothers at Huddersfield) so........can anybody tell me that by signing a goalkeeper and, or a full back that Rovers will any better in the coming weeks, months and even years with Mowbray managing ??? The January window is not the answer....the removal of Mowbray is

Embarrassing....my double anger is that I have bought 7 family tickets for the North End game........I must be as thick as Mowbray. A clueless man in the transfer market and an even more clueless in where to play his shocking purchases. No doubt he will hide behind “ No Dack today “.....do us all a favour Tony and admit your failings as a manager of this club.

Bell for Rothwell ????

What a shocking display ....no apparent plan, very poor skill level.......dire

Bennett is no left back ...but... I thought Downing was utterly dreadful....looked more like 65 than 35. We must be the least fit team in the league.....fitness is embarrassing for “professional sportsmen”

Why oh why do Mowbray’s pre match comments again fill me with dread .He is an utter doom and gloom man.....he drains any positivity ( God knows there’s not much of that around ) . Ewood will be as miserable a place as it’s been for many, many a year. Do I want to go to the game ? No . Will I go to the game? Yes.....but not for much longer. I can’t believe I’m about to write this but.....here goes....I would take a heavy defeat on Saturday if it pushed this miserable man to the door.

Haven’t felt so low in a long time. We continue to watch poor players, playing in the wrong positions . I can’t really believe they are actually their football....led and “coached” by a man who had outlived his usefulness . They play without hope, we watch without hope . Over the years Rovers managers have been measured on their recruitment....and some have done it brilliantly. Then we have Mowbray, a man who has scandalously squandered millions on , at best league 1 standard forwards , lads born in the North East or “nice lads who buy into my ethos” ......and this brings us to where we are today. Whilst Mowbray remains at the club , recruiting in the January window....we are doomed. No leadership, no atmosphere, no hope.....very sad.

No plan B ??? What’s plan A ? Yet to see anything that tells me this man has any tactical awareness... an utter dinosaur..and , sadly, he’s our dinosaur
