Oh alright, a revelation in comparison to the stinking garbage that was him at left back all these years.

I would argue that Williams' move was a revelation. So good in fact that he's unlikely to play CB for us again (bit naughty but the irony is delicious).

With the possible exception of Hull or Charlton, the most uninteresting, depressing draw possible. I would have gone to almost any away game save Brighton or Bournemouth away. Not this one.

Fylde, Forest Green or Newport for me (all away obviously). Wouldn't mind a weekend in Swansea for old time's sake.

Looking at Stoke fans' reactions to the team, Vokes is not on their Christmas card list. That makes me very worried...

I don't often post on here but attend all home games and many away. From experience of ear-wigging conversations, the only people who don't regularly moan about poor management and non-sensical substitutions are the away <I only go to get boozed/drugged up> fans who don't really notice the football. People were VERY angry (by Riverside standards) yesterday about the garbage play with numerous boos directed at Mowbray for his substitutions and no-one I noticed on the walk up Livesey Branch Road went home happy. If they did, they did it quietly.

The Dacks, Holtbys and Grahams of this world deserve better than to be captained and managed by such dross. Real anger is beginning to stir at Ewood but a win tonight kept a lid on it. A loss to Brentford and it's going to blow. The ONLY comments I heard walking home were groans and moans at Mowbray or Bennett (or both) apart from one knuckle-dragger swearing at his 'mate' down a phone.

What struck me most about this game was the pedestrian nature of our play and the almost total lack of shots. What does that remind you of?! City constantly moved about so as to receive the ball in space. We passed it tight along the line and hoped the ball got through the defender's legs, invariably ending up stood still trying to prevent a throw-in. I lost count of the amount of times our player took a touch into what he thought was space but a City midfielder ran in and stole it. Overall, a team of average to poor quality players who should not trouble the first team any time soon.

The overwhelming I get from reading them and previous ones is that every common sense suggestion is always met by: "Oh well that would need a lot of change and/or organisation." WELL THEN CHANGE/ORGANISE IT YOU USELESS SODS!

Have to agree that Chapman looked extremely poor, nowhere near the standard of JRC or Butterworth. Rather than pushing for the first team, he appeared the kind of lost soul soon for the 'we wish him well' bin. In terms of overall play, we appeared to be trying to pass quickly then play the through ball into the channels. This kind of worked but needed a finisher. We didn't have one. Set pieces were a complete waste of time. Therefore we didn't score. Football is quite a simple game sometimes!

If you read that article it claims to know about a group of Rovers fans who don't want this takeover as their club would 'loose' its identity. Absolute horse**** pretending to be journalism. Direct quote: "most of Rover’s fans are keen on the idea of becoming rich club." Some child with access to Google translate had a dream last night after watching old Premiership highlights...

Honestly not even that annoyed. I feel nothing for this team. We have 'slowly built' from Coyle's team to a team with no resilience, a dodgy keeper and a out-of-touch manager likely on his last run. Pathetic.

Do I actually believe the club claiming an injury? No. That in itself is a sign that something has gone very wrong between us and our club.

As a season ticket holder, I got one.

Got to say the emphasis on 'matchday experience' is barking up the wrong tree for me. People go (or don't go) to Ewood to watch the football. If that bit is dull then no amount of tacky Fanzones or lounges will cover it. My favourite away experiences have often been at grotty hovels not shiny new stadia (a wet Grimsby evening in our promotion season stands out). There was an energy based on a team to be passionate about and fans responded. Who can get passionate over a Striker's Lounge or Fosters under a blue and white marquee?

Having been to a fair number of away grounds this season, I'd normally be up for a half-term midweek trip but the dross served up recently has stopped me. I can't shake the idea that Holtby will be dropped and Gallagher back in ("He's not quite up to our speed yet and 3 games in 1 week comes a bit early" - Boring Tony). Worse still, I can see us failing to get more than 2 or 3 shots off at their goal as we continue to 'dominate' possession.

It was only his first start because Mowbray was too cautious to start him weeks ago!

I think the boos around the ground when Holtby was subbed would have been much louder without the stunned silence upon Travis being hooked too. I just don't understand the thinking behind that double change. How could it possibly have made things better? Gross tactical incompetence is killing any hope we ever had of progressing be it in team selection, formation or substitutions. Everything seems designed to negate our obvious strengths and reinforce our glaring weaknesses. No more debate now. Mowbray has to go if we even aspire to the play-offs (never mind promotion).

I'll be honest. Masked men giving Nazi salutes and racially abusing others can't really be misunderstood and it's not a subject for levity. It's not a Bulgarian thing. It's not an English thing. It's a issue for humanity that vermin across the world from Charlottesville to Sofia via Stamford Bridge can still grow up thinking this is fine.

I think we can all agree that the only realistic way we'll ever get our various finances/attendances/ownership issues sorted is promotion. Accordingly, I can't really see a difference between lower Championship stagnation and League 1. Possibly catastrophe might be hastened by relegation but it's coming anyway as things stand losing so much every season with Venkys liable to pull the plug any given year when we least expect it. Can Mowbray be the man to get us up? No. I have thought that last season and this (it's not a reaction to today). That being said, what benefit is there keeping him? None as I can see. Decency and honesty steadied the ship. Now it's listing again. I don't have opinions on which up and coming manager we could get. Or which decent name we haven't considered. As for: "The idiots will pick someone worse!"... You can't do worse than this turgid mediocrity. Time to jump on the merry-go-round.

Simple question. A few decent outings aside, does anyone disagree with any of these statements? 1. Graham is better than Gallagher 2. Strikers are best played up front. 3. Holtby and Rothwell are both better than Armstrong. 4. Nyambe is better than Bennett. 5. Dack's been indifferent all season.

In a perfect world, all good ideas (from a personal POV Radio Rovers was garbage though). Unfortunately, this list can be simplified to: Charge peanuts across the board as if we're a League 2 nobody so less incoming and spend more on coaches, radio etc ie. more outgoing. Not going to happen. Moving kick-offs is rarely the club's decision; it's Sky's. Giving out freebies is an attempt at growing the support base which we're all moaning they don't try to do enough.

Torn on this. In isolation, he would be an excellent addition but who would drop out? I can only assume he'd take Armstrong's place and further push Rothwell down the pecking order as part of the supporting 3. Would this make Gallagher the central striker? Do we really need this? Money no object then the more the better but I'm guessing he'll command quite high wages. Can we afford him?

A comfortable win. We vastly improved when Rothwell came on and we put an actual forward up front. Armstrong looked very poor. Hard to choose MOTM but I'd give it Williams. Who knew such a weak left back would be so immense in the centre?! Wish we'd have gone hard at them at the end instead of easing off though.
