3 quotes from Mike when pressed for answers.... I was on holiday. I don't know who appointed him He was the outstanding candidate. He was the only one who fit the critetia.

“It doesn’t matter about possession. You have to score." Tony makes a U Turn.

January we need a centre half and a left back as priority. We also need the second GK he said he was getting last summer. This is survival business only. I am talking about strengthening the side in summer by doing a deal in Jan to secure a top quality pro / leader. Status in summer :- GK Walton end of loan Leutwiler out of contract i.e we have no keepers. We need 2 new on contract plus a proper GK coach. Defence Cunningham already wont play for us again so, unless we buy him.... Toshin end of loan Hart & Bell out of contract. Mulgrew (return or sell). Must preseme sell. Midfield Smallwood, Bennett, Downing out of contract Forward Graham & Samuel out of contract Armstrong, Gallagher, Brereton not good enough. So unless I am missing something there will be plenty of saved wages to replace 3rd division players with 2nd division players and add something to make us contenders. That is before we sell anyone. Evans in Jan ? Dack in summer? Lenihan because hes a donkey? If of course Mowbray decides to give all the above extended contracts to 2023 then we will probably both agree who has lost their sanity.

You would be delighted with 4 wins between now and January. Surely that will be a disaster.

Thing is, Milner is exactly the type of player, leader and role model we should be bringing in. If Kenny went to Jack and said I want Milner then Jack would go and get him. Venkys are respecting Jack's legacy so why is it so ridiculous? This is his last season at Liverpool and he has so much to offer. The sad thing is how most of you have reset your ambitions to surviving relegation in the Champ. Or you also think we shouldn't have bought Moran or Cowans or Speedie or Hughes or any of the long list of similar great players for the same reasons ? I would say I am the only sane one here.

Next 4 games - Barnsley, Brentford, Stoke, Derby. 3 of them at home. These are all games where we should be favourites if there are truely any aspirations whatsoever within the club. These are our MUST WIN games to build some confidence and start a run. The target has to be 12 points. Not 10 points. Not less. 12 points or he must go.

haha...does he exist Matty ?

Does anyone know the date for the next Supporters Consultation Meeting ? Last year it was 22 Nov so normally it should be announced now, seeking attendees and agenda. Josh , who is attending from BRFCS ? Can we start a process of getting serious questions from members ? e.g. PM to you or whatever. Finance and Governance of OUR club.... not listening to Mowbray talk about being a lad kicking a lump of coal about.

Wigan are selling tickets for all games up to the end of January. Huddersfield and Preston are selling tickets for games into January. We are only selling November games. Maybe this is because we have another 3 game ticket coming out but whether or not that is the case, why not have them on sale now? Huddersfield half season tickets go on sale tomorrow. You can choose which game it starts from and just pay the appropriate price. So it can start any time between 15 games and 11 games. Clubs of a similar size to us are on the front foot making it flexible for fans to attend. We will bring ours out last minute when xmas presents are bought and fans are skint. We are not doing all we can. Far from it. We are doing almost nothing. Tomorrow is the pre-meet to set the agenda for next fans forum meeting on the 18th. I don't think we give a shit about single use plastic and gluten free pies. Why are tickets not on sale yet as with other clubs, to maximise Xmas spend ? How many 3 match tickets were sold ? Why are Xmas period games not on sale yet ? Where are you up to with the matchday buses from strategic locations ? What about working with the council to re-open the car parks at Ewood ? Are we actively having a plan for safe standing area next season ? What is the process to make it a reality ? Is the manager's position being reviewed and monitored by the owners ? Are there any targets set because we are clearly worse than last season and playing very badly. Who is responsible for this process ? Steve or Suhail or Balaji ? What task force does the club have in place or planned for addressing the very serious issue of 20,000 empty seats, dire matchday atmosphere and repeated failure to reach sales targets? What was the outcome of the data collected in the recent survey? Just a small list of very real and important topics I hope to see addressed with the club when the minutes come out. Not at all interested if Bennett washes his water bottle and re-uses it next week.

65 minutes and our "strikers" have not had a single shot. Nil. Zilch. Never mind not on target.... not a single shot. Del had the only shot. Are these strikers even strikers ?

Dingles 3 up in the Prem Nobbers 3 up 2nd in the league Rovers.... Thanks Venkys…. Taxi for Tony

I was sorely tempted by that 7/1 but in the end, common sense prevailed.

No need to worry. We are on a Villa style unbeaten run remember.

In January we should be doing a deal to take Milner at the end of the season before anyone else can get in. If we have any ambition that is.

2-0 win today for Rovers Holtby and Graham (sub) Followed by 2 weeks of deluded top 6 talk. Followed by a 1-0 defeat against Barnsley.

Blackpool hired a new CEO last month who is busy assembling a new senior management team. Last week they hired a new scouting and recruitment team. They are pressing ahead with rebuilding their club.

Stoke. Bottom of the league. Freezing cold Feb night game. On the red button. If you get home from work and just fancy it, you will remember the Waggott Tax already kicked in. £31 before pie and bovril. Certified Crazy indeed.

Prices were announced before the season. Preston and Brum are Cat A. £28 or £31 with Waggott Tax, if you dare to go down after 12. Tenner for all (home and away) against Nobbers would indeed fill the ground. More chance of Santa coming down my chimney dressed as Sheriff Waggott to take all the presents away.

the official attendance is always tickets sold. i.e. if the actual attendance was zero (nobody) the official would be 8600.

exactly what I was about to say. revenue yesterday will be up due to price and away fans but the net revenue across the 3 games will be down. File that rip off the fans plan with the £10K for 10K fake lotto.

It worked out for him yesterday. 1 in 7 as we all know so no cause to get carried away but credit when it's due. If we now go on a 10 game winning run then all credit to him. If that is the usual odd win and we are back to normal for the next 5 games then we can perhaps say with hindsight that he got lucky yesterday. We certainly got promoted from the 3rd division in spite of him. This is when you consider our squad vs the others. If we get into the top 6 in the Championship with this squad then it will be because of him. At the moment he is the only one thinking that is possible which appears to be highly delusional. We would all love to be proven wrong.

sounds like the subs changed the game for both sides. erm...lads...LADS... the fireworks
