Get MARK HUGHES back now before another club nabs him ffs.

sorry o thought van heck had also played Lb previously begor joining this 💩show. my bad, 2 left backs it is then. was around this time olast year that we started slipping away from the pack. nothing changes under mowbray de ja vue again and it's looking like our best midfielder we've had in a loooooong time(Rothwell) will be ofski at Christmas and Brereton wont be far behind.

so he's playing 3 left backs tonight. genius he is🙌🙌

tbh i hope they don't go down! unless it's us replacing them!! Purely because I want to see as many lancashire town teams especially (but also northern clubs in general) up there as possible, aside from the Liverpool and manchester clubs there's non, such a contrast to how it was 15/20 years ago when northern teamsmade up around half the Premier league

Sack the calamitous gob💩 Mowbray now pleeeeeease He's the sole reason right now that I can't get excited about anything rovers or have any hope for our future whilst he and his cronies(waggot, etc..) are running the club as they see fit. Neither of them care about the club or the fans. Mowbray turns me off wanting to return to ewood regularly just as the chaddy ones relentless jibberjabber turns me off visiting these forums regularly.

I was on the settee actually ✌️

oh well if chaddy wouldn't drop him then he definitely must be wortth an improved lucrative new contract.

Rothwell and Brereton are the only 2 that are really worth new improved long term contracts, the rest I'd just offer them the same as what they're currently recieving, like it or lump it.

poor lad, in this instance I really hope he's not going to join the long list of players that played their best football for us before going onto 'bigger things'

yeh, just meant more that there was a lot of optimism around him at the end of last season after his fairly fruitful stint at Shrewsbury. So just letting him leave on a free would have seen a bit of a fan backlash had he joined another club and carried on his good form there...

wouldn't be suprised if the decision to extend his contract was made by someone else, most likely they know he's sort of a favorite with the fans and didn't want him just leaving for free and doing well elsewhere

because Mowbray cant handle players with personality! he's like a P. E. teacher and only pics players that kiss his behind.

wins 1 of the 2 or gets a couple of lucky draws and he'll definitely be here for at least a few more months.... it's ridiculous.

Quite easily thanks (and i was being generous with Nyambe because whenever ive seen him live he's been utter sheeiiiite, same goes for Lenihan!! ) as for gallagher (transfer fee aside) he's just a decent squad player at this level, on his day he can be deadly but sadly more often than not he doesn't deliver, but that goes for most of the team on matchdays really! and its mostly down to poor management and coaching i expect

I don't get all the praise for Nyambe either, admittedly I dont go to many games but I don't think I've ever personally seen him give anything more than a mediocre performance

I'm not going to join the gallagher bashing band waggon, I personally think he's a decent player at this level when he's on form. But as you and others have pointed out... all the talk leading up to the game bigging Butterworth up but then not even bringing him on as a sub (let alone start him) is just fkin bizare.

nothing to add that hasn't really been said already Mowbray MUST go now(well really he should have gone last year...) whilst there's time for a new manager to settle in, assess the squad, do a bit of dealing at Christmas and hopefully get us moving back in the right direction and generate some much needed positive buzz about the place

chaddy likes this.

and all of those memes doing the rounds of chilleni and co. getting physical..... with headings along the lines of 'at least we didn't cheat' (seriously what kind of wet wipe carrying wussies come out with this rubbish) 🐂💩 i'd have loved to have seen us get stuck in like that as we used to pre 2000! then maybe at least we'd go down fighting.

tbf they got it right last time in signing Mowbraykeven if thay may just have been an happy accident 😅) he couldn't really have done much more in his first couple of seasons, but then the wheels came off and he's bee unable to take us to the next step and it's largely been down to his own doing due to poor tactics/strategies and general management so for the first time in the last 10 years not all blame can be put on the owners! they've allowed him to run the show as he(and his cronies waggot, et...) see fit and they've given them a reasonable transfer budget to work with over recent years and just left them to it for the most part it seems.

Great point tbf. there is now pretty much a whole generation of fans that will have no personal memories from the pre Venky era/s I was spoilt myself as a child-teen by growing up right through the Jack walker Era and only having a couple of vague memories from before that. But I did also see the 'inbetween era' when the walker trust and John Williams was keeping us afloat with excellent club management right throughout the club and on a minimal budget! although they did have the best foundations to work from thanks to Jack walkers investments.

as my board name suggests! im just one of those knobheads that rarely goes to games these days and just likes to criticise from afar🙈🙈 (well not that far, i live just minutes walk from the ground)

and yet you still call it "the rovers" 👌 sorry.

my guess is they're currently scouring the free agents bin looking for a striker that will accept our crappy wages. there are a few big and biggish name 'veteran' centre forwards out there looking for clubs, we could do with a bit more experience in the side if we could get one on a short term deal, but that doesn't fit on with the clubs "Philosophy" 🙄 they should look back at last time we got promoted! we had some very good young players coming through then as we do now but without the experience of Hughes, stig, short, berg, berkovich, grayson... we'd never have got anywhere

sorry to just jump on this thread without reading it all through properly, I'm not commenting on the subject matter at all right now just wanted to give my opinion on "screen grabs" in general, and that is that they should be banned and phones should have the action removed. screen grabbing and Sharing private messages and images (usually cherry picked out of context from private conversations) causes so much trouble & embarrassment and in my opinion it's just a horrible sneaky two faced thing to do and makes it impossible to trust talking openly to anybody online these(even with actual friends) 😞 Sorry, little rant over. 🙈
