Sheff Utd now only 3 points behind Norwich with a better GD

Looks like win or lose we could be deciding who wins the title.

BIG BEN !

Hopefully Rich Sharpe is guessing and Mowbray hasn't decided Ben on the wing and Arma up front - why would you ? Just why ?

That could’ve been put together by a vote on here!

would have been Magloire instead of Mulgrew and Chapman instead of Conway

Today's targets are

1. Win
2. BB to score

Ben with his chance to show us what he's got.

Please don't moan about the club. It's not like we're a multi-million pound operation like the mighty Accy.

 

I would love to see this posted on bus stops around Blackburn just to let Waggott know he hasn't got a bloody clue.

Why are they not questioning the Total Commitment of their fans though ?

Chaddy fails to notice the 20 THOUSAND empty seats around him.

In his own little blue and white bubble that one.

Least he will be first in the ST queue.

I wonder if Mowbray has any ambition of his own for the club, or if he will just carry on with whatever criteria they set?

Mowbray's ambition is to stay in safe and secure employment until he retires and pays for uni fees etc

Slowly

Just now, Stuart said:

We are either going to have a Mowbray era - of the type United had with Ferguson (just without the success) - or we are going to have wasted years paddling around in the shallow end.

Prophetic

So more like a Dario Graddi era

Safely in the shallow end

And why can't it be done tomorrow via Skype or suchlike in that time? Does Balaji prefer managers to see his side boobs in person? Real teams would probably be looking around for players now, whilst there are still games to watch.

Now we have been told before that they cant use Skype so please stop making sensible suggestions.

I don’t get your point?

Was signing Rothwell, Armstrong, Reed et al poor management too?

My point remains - people focus on stuff to criticise. It’s easy. Balance says many decisions are good too - but carry on ignoring those! 

well I agree that some signings he has made have done ok and some haven't. Same applies to every manager of every club.

Not good or poor management. Part and parcel of the game.

But in terms of risk and value for money, you are using the word balance but £7m for a dud (in our situation) is not balanced management.

5 players for £7m total, where 1 or 2 turn out to be duds would be balanced. (at our current Championship level)

or 1 dud player for £7m where we spent £25m on 5 players and the others worked out OK would be balanced (at PL level)

Just now, Biz said:

So what are Dack and Rothwell examples of? Better management and scouting behind the scenes?

I can fully understand why people would point out mistakes that tally with the poor owner situation - but balance surely involves both the bad and the good?

Brereton isn't the first bum we have signed and he won't be the last. Just ask Kevin Davies. Some signings work out... some don't.

Signing a bum for £7m when we haven't got a pot to piss in when we needed a new first team of Championship quality players - Poor management 

Please can we sign a proper goalkeeping coach instead of the one we got from Poundland ?

Until we do, no keeper will do themselves justice here.

MY issue is who takes the credit? This manager or the messageboard? I’m neither pro- Mowbray or anti- Mowbray but to claim a handful of posters can influence a professional manager in his decision making seems ridiculous.

The only club to have a fan making substitutions by text message from the Blackburn End.

One scenario seems more far fetched than the other... hmmmm

Tbf, don’t see the point of having Nut and Big Ben on the field at the same time.

Isn't he planning on playing a highly technical team next season with 2 up front instead of DG so Ben can run the channels and dribble ?

First game with Samuel and Ben

Second game with Nuttall and Ben

Third game with Samuel & Nuttall

Rest of season with DG on his own

Just now, Stuart said:

Interesting that you don’t mention Brereton’s equally woeful finishing in warm ups.

Here’s some match stats though (as warm up stats can be misleading  ).

2018/19

Nuttall 13 app* (2 starts), 339 minutes, 2 goals

Brereton 24 app* (5 starts), 692 minutes, 0 goals

* Brereton played in 3 cup games, Nuttall’s games were all against Championship opponents.

 

Bit misleading if you don't include the training ground stats.

I fear that will be our new striker for next season. 

TM - saving owners money since summer 2018 - apparently.

We all know that Samuel and Chapman will be our "new signings" in the summer.

It's a nailed on certainty we will be reading those words in the LT.

Today's b ollocks from the wacky world of Tony. Apparently we've just been 'a little inconsistent' away from home ?

We have been very consistent.... consistently crap.

I was just reading how next season we are going to be a highly technical side with Ben scoring loads of goals as a centre forward.

That would indicate either we had better get some technically gifted players in or Tony is chatting shite.

From the last Fans Forum minutes - Looking to launch season ticket information mid to late April.

who gives a shit ?

The 10K will buy them in April or July.

Until something changes at the club then that's it.

Try getting shut of the Waggott Walk On Tax.

Or getting shut of Waggott and his Tax.

Or maybe even a Venky Apology.... I bet that isn't on your "fans" forum agenda.

So Mowbray stays because he needs (another) summer to rebuild (because last summer he couldn't be bothered).

Meanwhile our poor form continues resulting in Venkys deciding not to give Tony any money in summer.

Why would you throw a few million at an underperforming manager ? Here... go and waste this.

You showed us all those videos Tony. You said we should give these players new contracts Tony. You said we should trust you Tony.

Now run along and prove it.... Your season long free pass has run out now.

So we start next season with the same shite and expect a different outcome ?

Crap when he took over from C o y l e. Crap for large parts of last season. Crap most of this season.

Tony shrugs and flashes his Free Season Pass.... again

I only have 3 things to say....

Mowbray Out !

Waggott Out !

Venkys Out !

Didn't bother with any more subs....

Must have shrugged and been happy with it.
