Lenihan's distribution has been unbelievable.

Despite all the quality in our squad I do find Travis a passenger a lot of times, need him to match the quality of the other midfielders

I feel he's done well today, breaking up play and making good interceptions. I do feel he has lost any of the attacking threat he had when he first broke into the team mind. 

It's the taking of chances that influences matches... 

But I reckon we'll win this still. Very impressive first half that could have seen us several up going into half time. Usually I would doubt our chances now, but these lads are made of something else. 

As others had said great performance so far by Pears who looks a lot more solid than he did last season, long may that continue. 

Perfect away performance so far.

Nymabe fit is huge 

hope that’s a midfield diamond rather than false 9.

Could be a back 5 with naymbe rcb and Buckley rwb? I hope not mind... 

Without a cushty multi year contract in his pocket, we might just see the best of Tony with his back against the wall. 

Missed the last match as I forgot we were playing, don't live in or near Blackburn but have loved the club for 18 years. 

I couldn't support another team, ever. 

But I'm done. 

Well done Venkys. Well done Tony. Well done Waggot. Well done Jerome. Well done Kean. Well done Coyle. You win. 

What Buckley and Dolan have done to deserve to be dropped is beyond me. Must be so disheartening and must impact on development when they are unable to get a run of games. Such a shame. 

Hey babe. 

Take a walk in the Wilder side. 

🤞

I just think you can maturely debate something without resorting to stuff like that. No need.

Fair enough, you would need a big steel barrier in front of you to deal with the term "tosh".

As for this comment, I don't think there's any need. It's something I think has been thought out properly, wasn't rushed and has been delivered in the best possible way. You can disagree but I just don't think this is appropriate.

Touch sensitive? 

Didn't realise you were the author but now I know it all makes sense. 

What a load of tosh that article is, as already stated by others. Hearing Mowbray talking drivel about stats makes me feel that pretty much all of the Rovers lot at the moment are clueless and blinded by arbitrary statistics. Won't surprise me if Mowbray and Venkys are being peddled plenty of rubbish, it's so easy to manipulate data and present it in anyway you want.

Yes strange times. You can see the same thing happening in politics at the moment.

You're spot on. I have found my support for Rovers to be a microcosm of the way I feel about the country. The extinguished hope and growing apathy. The powerlessness. The loss of pride...

That's some incentive for the players then... 

Absolutely dire. Just terrible. Everything. 

I don't care about the result. I'm a performance based fan. This is shite. Again. 

I'm seriously annoyed with you all for getting the young boy at right back injured. Please just let Tony manage. 

🥴

I’m no planning expert, so if anyone that is wants to put my mind at rest to what’s currently lodged with Ribble Valley Council.

Tony doesn't do formations so maybe he doesn't see the need for training either? 

Sarcasm aside, this is concerning.

Really wouldn't want his legend status tarnished. It's already happened with Berg and it will probably happen with him under this lot.(although I will still defend Berg for all time, given the mess he inherited and the fact he wasn't given a transfer window to put his own team in place). 

For me Berg did not tarnish his reputation. He tried his best under very difficult circumstances and failed. But there was some hope early on that had our luck been different, well it could have been a different story. 

Any club legend that comes in as gaffer keeps their status, unless they scrape the levels of Kean and Coyle. Mowbray is on a different level, I see him as an old stubborn man out of his depth and past the times. He needs to be put out of his misery but nobody is gonna do it, so he plods along falling ever further into madness. 

FUCK OFF TONY

Mowbray said: “I like Barnsley, they’re a good team, they’ve got an identity, they play with a lot of intensity, extremely good out of possession. (taken from article in Lancashire Telegraph)

Everything after 'good team' is what we're not. 

How can they have an identity when the gaffer has only been there a matter of months? 

Apathy is the way while Mowbray and the Vs remain.  Problem is, there's probably no coming back once you get there...

This forum is certainly not representative of the fanbase anymore.

End of the day most football fans want a club to support, especially at the moment, seeing signings enter the building on a regular basis is a bonus. They just want to watch football, talk about tactics, matches and players and support the team, they don’t look much deeper than that.

Also, they’ve been here a decade, so for fans in their 20s and below (who are very prominent in social media) they know little else than this regime’s way of doing things, so harking back to John Williams and the like means bugger all, mid table in the Championship is as good as it’s been.

Folk like us, who yes, can see how we are totally reliant on their funding, but also forensically look at their record, their appointments, accounts, infrastructure and the like and lament how we’ve fallen are very much in the minority these days, and probably not normal when it comes to your average football fan.
 

All really good points. Today it hit me seeing all the posts saying we need to welcome them back with open arms.  I need to move on and away as I'll never forgive. 

The Facebook supporters pages are excruciating in their support for Venkys aren't they? How short memories are. I don't live in the area so am not exposed to fellow supporters regularly, but the love in is shameful! 

Feels great to do that to Luton after their antics. The drop ball happened because their player faked being hit in the head and the ref couldn't risk not stopping play for a head injury. Proper karma that and it makes the victory all the sweeter.
