No you won't - but I don't come over all silly because we have had a bad day - we have taken 21 points from the last 11 games i think -

Supporting the team ? -

Mashed Potatoes replied to Neal's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
The owners way of doing things and, based on some posters on here, some supporters' unrealistic expectations. -
Tony Mowbray Discussion
Mashed Potatoes replied to Neal's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Wouldn't disagree with any of that. Of course we can't be sure how things will work out unless he gets to play; he's marginal at the moment as to whether he's a plus or a minus for the first team . -

Yes, and results is why so many managers are careful, or reluctant, to bring young players in to the first team. If they don't, then of course they receive criticism for that as well. I'm not trying to wind anybody up - if you think those who have labelled Tony Mowbray a "coward" or "not a nice person" are not haters how would you describe them ? -

If Mowbray did that and results suffered as a result the haters would be out in force on here demanding he got the sack -
Top class player

At the Xmas period every side is likely to be making some changes. With 5 wins and a draw from 6 games Mowbray does not have to "justify" anything - the standard of his decision making speaks for itself. -
Yes - I didn't comment on the team selection either. Whilst everyone is entitled to their opinion, when you are playing again after 3 days it is always worth remembering that the manager and coaching staff will have information available to them regarding fitness and recovery characteristics for each player that we do not have and that will help to drive the selection.

No idea but I do know that the two best managers in English football - Guardiola and Klopp - have had players sent off this season. Sendings off happen to everybody. -

You can't hold one sending off against a manager. If it was happening a lot then it would be reasonable to say that the manager needs to address it - but the occasional sending off is an occupational hazard -

Yes - against 10 men he is much the best bet to open up the opposition -
Swansea City (A) - F*ck it, let's make it five!
Mashed Potatoes replied to a topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Swansea blow hot and cold but I would have thought that this was a reasonably good result - we are not going to win every game we play -
Sad news coming out that Jim Smith has passed away. A good manager and a good football man

Glad to hear that like me you are really happy with the way things are going -

But if we lost 4 games in a row - imagine what people would be saying then. -

I think the "holier than thou" people took exception to some of the unpleasantness that was directed at the manager and are justifiably taking pleasure in seeing him doing well. At least one poster described Mowbray as "corrupt" - a disgraceful remark - and others claimed he was not a nice person.
