Not Grayson , of no improvement on mowbray. would be fine with hughton, Johnson or ainsworth

Yup I agree, downing and more so graham with a warm handshake and a you will forever be welcome back here but it’s time to move on due to age, the rest out the back door as not good enough. It really is time to be ruthless and stepping up to be ambitious.

*coughs* holtby is this years rodwell. Can look good in spells but overall isn’t the long term solution and fitness issues means he will probably be off end of the season having really in reality failed to deliver what he was brought in to do. There Iv said it

Not an argument I like to be honest in the let’s stick with a poor manager because there could always be worse and I’m afraid of what we would get. Be ambitious and strive for better ffs

Bar that wee run I think we have been desperate too, beat off some amount of guff

Good post mate

Johnson until the end of the season, see how he goes. If an opportunity arises with a name that can turn this club around arrives in the summer, take it. I wanted Pearson but he is turning Watford around instead sadly

Well didn’t take long for my swimming against the tide mowbray caution to bear fruit. still still still want the guy away from this club my main crimes - never creating a fluid team in his tenure, it’s so stop start it’s unreal. It’s never pretty it’s grinding. - transfers, gallagher and brereton especially are sackable on their own. I really want them to come good but it’s not happening. I still think there is a player in gallagher and he won a lot of headers and flicks today but needs someone to work with - body language on the sidelines, praise on players not worthy and condemning other. Travis has been reigned in and looks average now. Bigging up other teams all the time, just stop has to go for me if we have ambitions on top 6 next season

Yup sure as Xmas dem mowbray defeats are coming . Another poor performance

Sum up feelings right now with- we aren’t a top 6 squad. Do you feel confident in every player in every position, until we are we aren’t going anywhere. We have players that turn up 1 game in 5 and some that just aren’t good enough. We will never batter a team by 3-4, instead grind out nicked wins, which you can’t do forever. Wasted money on non 8/10 players every game which we can’t afford to. That’s where we are

Shows how crap rothwell was

Iv got to say, all those clamouring from rothwell must be feeling a bit silly now. Nowhere near the answer. Show pony with no end product and dangerous liability, doesn’t keep the ball well enough, league one player

See my strongly tipped mowbray replacement Pearson is turning Watford’s season around, missed a trick there

Your probably right but the thing about the champ this season, I don’t think any of them are horrific teams and all capable of going on a run. All will probably feel a little hard done by being in the bottom 3. Put it this way, I wouldn’t feel confident of us beating any of them

A very vague rumour

Lansbury on loan to cover dack

Rothwell seems to bounce off crowd noise, if he does something well and the crowd get a bit of noise going it seems to give him confidence in wanting the ball whereas if he does something badly it seems to effect his confidence and goes into hiding

I would take 6-8 weeks

Armstrong can’t play unless it’s breakaways, he has one asset in pace, but put a defender back there to face him up and he has no skill to get past him, loses it everytime. I can’t even really blame him tho he isn’t a winger and never will be. Ohh to have a winger with a bit of trickery and an eye for a cross/ goal. To cover the dack injury I’d actually buy a winger and play gallagher/graham with armstrong up top

Wasn’t implying dack would be sold although the plan was to sell him in the summer I believe, an agreement he had with rovers management for a shot at the prem, that’s now in doubt. People can say holtby and rothwell but do either look like hitting the net consistently. Dack was almost a striker , I wouldn’t class either of them two as

Wonder if dacks injury impacts our January transfer targets. Can’t say we don’t have time to react as per last year days into February

Wasn’t anything in dacks injury

Thought downing was terrible , didn’t find a Blackburn player all game, lenihan very lacklustre at times, as was Williams but he saved lenihan bacon second half. Graham was spent. Armstrong terrible. Travis didn’t offer anything really. Nyambe wasted good positions. Rothwell glimpses but not enough. Johnson looked decent when he came on, should’ve started. Walton very assuresd. Dack injury a nightmare. Terrible terrible night. Merry Xmas to all my fellow rovers

Need a left back, there you go, take Wigan’s

I said downing was having a poor game , some folk disagreed
