Astounded at extent of my own apathy.

Expectations are below sea level. Just please, please, please be someone decent.

Ew. To all of them.

Ok. That will do for me. Who do we want?

Nah. That’s an Ainsworth or that Paul what’s his face from Shrewsbury. Mowbray did well in League 1. I want a proper manager. Surely we can attract a Bilic/jokanovic level manager with this squad now?

If we can get a proper manager in. I certainly wouldn’t be upset right now.

He’s lost it hasn’t he. Doubt we’ll be getting a change but meh.

Surely he’s got a knock? Otherwise that’s a proper scapegoating/falling out no me gusta

We’re gonna get bummed. Desperate stuff that. Prove me wrong Rovers.

All the best mate, thanks for the £2 😉

I’m trying to open a BALANCED discussion. I like the man, appreciate what he has done, but think we are at a crossroads. If you just want post after post of “Mowbray is a moron” then I best stay away. Nope. Get out of here with that. If you don’t hate the man and think he is as bad as Kean then you are on the propaganda payroll. Good post.

Agree I’m baffled sometimes. Offensive, stupid, bullshit. Not the main reason at all, but it’s a big reason. So we do overrate the squad? Is he underachieving with what he had or has he built a shit squad? Get your stories straight lads. Agree, we should expect relatively to be there or thereabouts. I think we might be still, so no pitchforks here. About 15 teams “expect” this each season btw. Well, no. I’m reading many opposing viewpoints without resorting to calling anyone a shill. Absolute dunce.

You seem to be looking at it from the “We are and should easily be a PL team” side of things... Whereas I look at it as “We were in L1 and looked like we were sinking further” In context of the other clubs in this league, how competitive it is, and the complete clusterfuck he inherited... Are we underachieving? Really? I’ll have a better idea at the end of the season.

Fair. TBH I couldn’t see us being in this situation for YEARS when he took the job. We were fucked. Maybe YOU are the positive happy clapper 😂

There’s a fucking time warp on here where TM came in when we were a PL club or even a competitor in this league. No matter whether you think he should go or not - if you think he hasn’t done a great job for us then you need some fresh air.

I’m trying to suggest that jacking the manager might not be as simple an improvement as some suggest. That it is a gamble, and I think a bit of context and respect is due for ‘s time here. “YoU mEan A CoNtrAcT FoR LiFe!?!?”

Agree it is tbh. Are we overrating the squad? Often think we do. Yeah but he ain’t. It’s Venkys. Fucking Venkys. Kean, Berg, Appleton, Tosser Lambert and Fucking Owen Coyle Venkys.

Is that a strawman, a false equivalence, or are you just being intentionally dense? Not been on here a while so need to get used to the level of discourse again.

Very fair comment. Like I say, victim of his own success. It wasn’t about the football FOR YEARS before Mowbray, in fact since the day they bought the club. If we think we are due an improvement and have ideas for who and why - then I’m certainly listening... but we know that we probably won’t get it. The vitriol and disrespect to the man on here sometimes is pretty nauseating and short sighted imo. But let it be known - imo we have looked utterly fucking well poor for the last couple of months, WAY below the capabilities of this squad. Shite situation all round.

Avoided this place during the poor form because I got tired of being one of the few contrary voices. Call me an idiot (almost feel like one with how shit some of this has been) but I still am happy for him to stay. Reason? The owners and pretty much every single thing since they came in. The rebuild job TM has done - The solidity, the stability, the focus on youth and sustainability, the integration of the academy, the INTEGRITY, and the squad that he has assembled (and PLEASE check our net spend I’m sick of hearing he’s had bucket loads of cash for our level) We know that it is easily lost. It is easily thrown away. Are there even any solid suggestions for a successor? I trust TM. He might not be the most exciting, or some tactical genius that can piss the championship (no one is). But at least it’s about the football with him. Lots to lose. But still a dice that is hot in the hand and tempting to throw right now.

Shite.

Shite tbh.

This is the game I always want us to win as an immigrant to the Steel City with many annoying owl friends... What a great Boxing Day down Ewood this would’ve been ☹️ Anyway - I have watched a few of their games and have a bit of the inside line... They are genuinely awful, with a horrendous squad, batshit owner, and a dinosaur of a manager that can’t get a tune out of a mish mash of overpaid, under motivated players. They are as good as down without a whimper. Therefore - Rovers 0 Wednesday 1 🥳

I’ll do the maths for the last 2 years for you in the morning. You think it puts us many places up? It doesn’t.
