Yeah the Hughes talk baffles me. Just last week there were loads of his former QPR players coming out slating him for his attitude and demeanour towards them, hardly what a young team like ours needs. And he didn't pull up many trees while at QPR in terms of performance on the pitch, scraped survival and got sacked not long into the following season. And don't even get me started on the likes of Sven and Gordan Strachan, I'd rather keep Mowbray and I really don't want him here anymore

Given the upcoming fixtures, if we don't beat Coventry and don't remove the manager, I think we're going down

It's a nonsense rumour I imagine so not much point speculating

It's never the particularly eloquent who get through is it...?

It's absolutely astonishing to read this. Everyone else who watched that game surely cannot agree with him. Missed penalty and Armstrong's shot from distance aside what else did we create??? I genuinely can't remember anything else, besides Bell getting into promising positions down the left about 3 times and it going tits up on each occasion. He's losing supporters in droves by the week.

I would argue that 2-4-5 record is pretty bad. Probably not far off Mowbrays record for the last 11 games and most of us want him gone. The suggestion of Tugay is a bit daft, anyone following the guy on social media would see he's clearly living a life of luxury and wouldn't have the discipline to be a successful manager (who can blame him). Get away from these romanticised notions of former players coming in. It rarely works. Lampard at Chelsea the most recent example. Equally suggestions of Hughes are odd, not done well anywhere really in the last 5-10 years. Progressive managers are the way forward for me. Wish we'd got Barnsley's before they did, clearly knows how to set a team up. Shame we don't have the infrastructure to spot a diamond in the rough like that

In terms of on the pitch, all Mowbray has done is right the wrongs of the relegation which he still has to be partially responsible for, though I would lay more of the blame at Coyle's Irn Bru sponsored front door. We're back where we were in the Bowyer/Lambert era and show absolutely no signs of pushing above that midtable mediocrity. It's all well and good accepting that over relegation but football will always have an element of risk and reward to it. Totally appreciate the stability Mowbray has brought but maybe now is the time to take the risk. Personally I feel we'd be a good proposition for prospective managers. Good squad, great facilities, owners willing to spend and seemingly happy to not get involved too much. All the foundations are there, we just need a forward thinking manager who feels formations and tactics are a relevant part of management

It's just the unrelenting deja vu that gets to me. You could sit down before the beginning of every season with Mowbray and predict how it'll go and you'd be right. Average to decent start, look promising around November, horrific December, unbeaten January, chuck all that form out the window, win 4 dead rubbers at the end of the season and make it look like the next season will be better. Rinse. Repeat. Our season is over now.

By the sounds of it I don't think the deal would have got done if we didn't agree to loan him back. No issue for me, Douglas is improving, Bell is just about capable of being back-up, Pickering to come in as first choice next season. Looking forward to seeing him play and hopefully he successfully fills what has been a problem position for years. Let's not get all negative an hour after the lad has been unveiled eh

Genuinely don't think outright naming who we're interested in would be for "the good of Blackburn Rovers" to be honest... When has any club ever regularly used that as their strategy?

As in name the players? Not really a professional way of going about things. Would only make the other club not want to do business

This is the kind of performance that often sees a manager lose his job. It's a shame there's no chance of it happening here

I'm not surprised the amount of crap the local journalists get. And then get a "any transfer news mate?" from the same people a day or so later

Personally would have taken 7 points at this point before the start of the season. Disappointing not to break down 10 men but it's not like they had 10 men for the majority of the game. Were always gonna sit deep at that point. Take the point, third clean sheet in a row, unbeaten in three. Better than the end of last season that's for sure.

We going to ignore the global pandemic that might be affecting some things at the moment?

An air of incompetence perhaps?

Certainly not miserable about the performance and result. But fair to say looking at that crop of midfielders I don't feel overly inspired in terms of any sort of tilt towards the top 6. Couple of injuries and we'd be putting a weak weak team out. I think at this point I'd take a LB and CM as our only other business. They're the 2 crucial positions for me now

"How to turn a mood with one interview" by Tony Mowbray

Might be mistaken but thought I read that we'd agreed personal terms but obviously the overseas team offered way more when they came in

Not much difference for me. Wigan fans wanted shut of Cook before Christmas then they suddenly found some results by playing very limited football. Perhaps edges Mowbray but would feel a pretty sideways move. He's been available most of the break and there's been plenty of jobs going, no one gone in for him.

Yes

Maybe Rovers should buy a few tickets too

From reading around twitter it seems more the opposite. Good at playing out from the back but a liability defensively. Who knows though. I'd rather it your way round I must say

He'd be a Championship player by season after this anyways. No chance West Brom are staying up

Was using it as more of a figure of speech but hey let's just leave it there. I'm not here to argue and neither are you so
