There is just no answer to mowbray

Appalling team selection. It’s just crap.

All round average performance. Without travis we unravelled. Bennett is not a left back and was more of a liability than an asset but every man and his dog knew that accept our manager. Walton poor for their goal and in reality had nothing else to do. Rothwell little impact and Gallagher falls into the same category. Thought nyambe and lenihan had good games. Brereton appears much improved. All in all a poor performance with some of the same mistakes in terms of team selection and tactics being repeated. It appears we’re going through a Bennett in at all costs phase. I suppose the really difference is Rovers are now spoiling my summer

Brereton is just so unlucky. Pace to get there and then slips.

nothing about this topic but it made me laugh. What has 8 teeth and is 400 foot long. The queue outside Burnley Asda. If it’s old sorry but it cheered me up

Having watched the whole English game. I think I might love rovers more if that’s possible

I was just teasing for a reaction. I remember the old bikers the Darwen jesters. Darwen are Rovers that is a full stop no discussion.

After watching this I read the 442 article on our contribution to football. We forget how influential we are has a shit hole place made up of 140000 people including darwen ( Blackburn south). we changed the game of football. Teams whose colours followed ours dynamo zegrab grasshoper Zurich athletico Madrid and Bilbao Our history which didn’t fall away ( the seventh most successful team decade on decade) stands up with the best. Our role call of success for our size is endless. 6 fa cups. 7 if you count olympic 22 fa cup semi finals 3 championships including the premiership One of 3 founders of the football league and premiership Im not sure there is a small town that could match us. I include success, support and identity. COYB

I feel today is the day win this and the door is open for a play off push. We’re the best of the rest at the moment which doesn’t say much has everyone is inconsistent. My heart says yes experience says draw but it’s a while since we’ve had increasing excitement with a season. COYB

It looks like a battle for the sixth spot and we are the form team of the let’s fuck this up group.

I agree for some reason I fancy us to turn derby over.

One thing is for sure automatics are now out of the question. Play offs it is then a clear focused objective. I wanted to go to Wembley anyway. Not sure it will be this year or the next or the next ......... Patience slow build.

There is something that does sit quite right with this statistic even though correct. For example if you had lost all 34 games and never been in front you would be on 0. Better than rovers but bottom of the league. Alternatively over 34 games you could have been in front in seven and lost but won the remaining 27 and be top of the league. Yet using these statistics you could argue that the league leaders are mentally frail. The results for some reason lack any relevance.

Great result not the score but the attitude. I feel has a team we are up for this more than last season. I’ve had to many false dawns with rovers but I believe this may be different. Top 6 yes the chance is there because we have a bit more iron about us. This league is about attitude not apptitude and today was a great example of that. On a side note looked at the Brentford forums they are the biggest bunch of conceited bastards. Love themselves Quote: Rovers where there to be annihilated. Big week next week COYB

Let’s not fold for godsake

Last week we lost and couldn’t watch efl on quest. This week I’m already in front of the telly COYB

While criticism of individual players for their performance in specific games is valid. The generic criticism of a player seems harsh . We are on 50 points with Gallagher playing the majority of those. Samuel plays one and its better and that is the answer. While it may or not be correct Samuels performance shouldn’t be a stick to beat another player for. Gallagher players in Mowbray selected position for him not to long ago that was Armstrong’s. Maybe sometimes the team is more important than the individual.

Those stats just show what a wide open league this is.

Sorry unfathomable reason still respect him

I deliberately avoided Mowbray because it is message board dynamite and causes immediate polarisation. I criticise him endlessly yet for some in fathomable reason still respect. Go figure

Trust me I’m has guilty has everyone else.

In summary we don’t like Bennett, bell,Gallagher, Walton , Johnston and Bremerton. Armstrong appears to be doing ok but the jury’s out because he may be in a purple patch. Rothwell is good when he doesn’t play but flatters to deceive when he does. We like tosin by virtue of the fact he plays for us but doesn’t belong to us. Nyambe was no good but now he’s ok and Travis is good along with lenihan who depending on your take is either worth £15 million or is bang average and worth £5 because tosin is making him look good. The under 23s who we wanted to be given more game time are now no good and need sending somewhere else to play football. Chapman who hasnt played should along with mols and Thompson the left back.

Bennett probably but to be fair as tomphil says he gives it everything and is sometimes a victim of his willingness to play anywhere for the team and Mowbray that attracts the criticism. Has an observation if he’d stuck to playing the position he’s suited to the criticism would have been less but that’s the value of hindsight.

I thought he looked good but he’s always injured and I don’t think we can cope with any more in the treatment room.

The best I can say on this is it’s attritional
