In fairness he’s got a lot right over recent times

Farke interested in the job

It really is a sad state of affairs when we are in April and for the second time since we came down 10 years ago we are still very much in contention for the top 6 and yet it feels like our season is over, normally by this stage there is nothing to play for, just slow dead rubber games not even an affirm to give it everything to make the final league position more pretty and give us something to build on. 5 games left we should be full of excitement in a final push for the 6 but no.. fraudbray has completely sucked the enthusiasm out of the supporters and even players, we should have paid out the remaining months of his contract and got rid weeks ago to give us a chance, I would have installed Johnson as caretaker for the rest of the season cause that way we would have more of a chance of qualifying for the play offs under an intelligent respected coach than this boring old sod who doesn’t seem to care about what is the last chance of putting a real achievement on his cv, we would do no worse. we can all talk lineups all we want… common sense lineups… but it’s a waste of time cause fraudbray doesn’t do common sense, he seems to think he’s clever by Doing the opposite when he’s been sussed out with the same baffling formation and tactics since the turn of the year. I cannot wait to have a proper manager who atleast does the basics of players in their actual positions

Well said, wolves was 3rd from last and my wolves friend said all the fans around him had to check we wasn’t already safe cause we played like we was on the beach and they literally had nothing to play for and we’re awful so mowbrays negative ways have always been here, he’s an absolute fraud

Exactly! He had plenty of time we was hardly 20 points adrift when he took over. We beat forest on good Friday then played Barnsley at home the bank holiday Monday and lost badly, we barely went forward we was there for the taking yet the forest win got us out the drop zone then went to wolves and played a heartless draw before the last two games we won wasn’t enough plus villa pretty much let us win as they had newt to play for and wanted Birmingham to go down, so mowbrays negative crap has always been a thing yet I took abuse on social media from the start cause I called him out and everyone thought he was a hero

Fraudbray at his best, struggling against a side beaten by a poor Preston team who have little to play for yet we still have a chance of 6th and we still don’t turn up, what an utter waste of a solid at team under this fraud manager

5/10 and that’s being generous! But not good enough, only reason I give a 5 is for some signings and stability I don’t buy the hero stuff in 2017, he took over and remember us getting out the relegation zone with about 4 games to go after beating forest, we played Barnsley at home and it was like we had nothing to play for, the lineup was a joke and we barely looked like we wanted to go forward.. we lost 2-0 against a Barnsley on the beach. We then played wolves and my friend who’s a wolves fan said all the wolves fans around him had to check we was fighting relegation cause we never looked bothered and they we’re awful and again on the beach and we drew 0-0 when that game would have we kept us up but beating villa and Brentford wasn’t enough. l1 was for the taking, a poor Shrewsbury side was our only competition and even then we made it hard work and couldn’t even beat Wigan to the title which Mowbray didn’t care about just took his hero status for finishing 2nd to a team who couldn’t compete with us for resources. mowbray has been poor if I’m honest in terms of results, he’s had plenty to spend, spent a combined 11m on two strikers one who he took 2 years to get going the other who he wasted to this day playing him as a winger while also hanging one of our best talents aka Buckley to dry by playing him Completely out of position. mowbrays mentality stinks, every season is the same.. we get into a good position no matter how good the team is and drop after Christmas and by the time we recover it’s too late and it’s simply not good enough he’s had all the money and time much better managers who achieved more with less could dream Of. Also finally his cup record and lack of respect for it is appalling, a man who thinks he’s some sort of true football man with integrity but yet throws the cups every year yet people support his clear cup is a distraction nonsense, clearly the distraction ain’t the cup cause since he threw the Wigan game we’ve lost league form, look at boro and forest ? Both good cup runs and looking solid. Go back to 2017 when he threw away the league cup to the dingles by fielding an uninterested reserve team so clearly shown his lack of trajectory for the derby and kept the dingles bragging rights going. Also our first competitive meeting with Morecambe this season he threw away too.. carrying on his disrespect for the cup

Not at the game cause I’m on nightshift but I feel for my cousin who’s took my 5 game ticket for the night cause this looks pathetic! bad enough we’ve seen Buckley at false 9 but now Johnson ? An over the hull cdm? I swear fraudbray is doing this on purpose to piss off his rightful haters. pay off the remaining months of the frauds contract and install Damien Johnson as caretaker for the rest of the season.. we can only get better and it may just save our season. yet there are still happy clappers who like Mowbray the man is a retard and a genius in his own mind

It really annoys me how much stick people give to Gallagher and Buckley when they are both out of position and Mis managed by a crap manager, a better manager with knowledge will turn them to gold

Unfair to say that about Carter when he’s out on loan for that purpose

It’s not that bad all we are lacking is a manager with sense attleast. We are in the same boat of a lot of championship clubs when it comes to budget and ffp stops the owners investing

That would finish me off and I would end up spending the season ground hopping instead

Oh no

With mowbrays contract running out this summer makes it an interesting summer indeed. So what’s your views on it ? Should he be offered a new deal or let go ? I for one only think he should be given a new deal is if he manages to get us up, a 1 year deal max as a reward, but I cannot see that happening nor do I think he will wanna stick around in the championship when he’s expressed clearly before he misses his family time. promotion as of January was there for the taking, no other team look like they are good enough apart from Fulham, Bournemouth are there by default and the rest simply not good enough excluding forest and boros rise of course, it says it all when a mediocre team of journeymen and cloggers like Luton are knocking on the door, but also says a lot about their manager as much as I dislike him cause of how he is I wouldn’t be against recruiting him as our boss if he gets the best out of his team like he is doing now, he certainly doesn’t lack passion and would be a refreshing site on the touch line compared to sleepy Mowbray who looks lost when it’s not going well. SQUAD TURNOVER: this summer should rovers do the likely and fail to win promotion will be the biggest transitional squad building process since 2013 so whoever the manager is will need to Recruit smoothly, so many key departures with loans and contracts expiring, khadra and JPVH going back to Brighton and lenihan, nyambe, Rothwell all leaving with their deals up which again falls back on Mowbray and waggot for leaving it so late to start negotiations, aswell as other squad players who are unlikely to get new deals. BBD will also be sold, coming down to the last year and will not be short of suitors and will probes be sold due around 16m like Armstrong, which will be needed to rebuild the team. Of course it all changes if he do manage to work a miracle and get promoted. NEW MANAGER IDEAS?: I know there isn’t a lot of available managers out there who could definitely do a better job nor can we be too fussy given our budget, but it’s not as though I for one expect us to be in a promotion battle every year, it’s not like I want Mowbray gone cause he’s bottling it when I’ve not wanted him for years cause of the same shite every year, the only thing making this one that little bit more stand-able is cause of that November to January run we went on that shot us up the league and the new system he stumbled upon that payed off until we was inevitably sussed out, mowbrays lack of Plan B and square pegs round roles mentality is what’s drove rovers fans with an eye site bonkers for a good 3 years at least, I couldn’t care less if the new man comes in and play's football that but kore uglier as long as it gets us the results and makes us a tough dude to beat and brings back the basics. You look at Sam Gallagher and john Buckley as examples of being victims of mowbrays stubborn and bizzare ways, being thrown under the frustrated and angry fan bus by playing them completely out of position, Buckley who is a sit deep type of playmaker beijg thrown up top as a false 9 expected to score goals, 6 foot 3 Sam Gallagher thrown out on the left wing expected to cut in and smash in a curling 25 yarder, it’s absolutely awful and Others will no doubt judge the lads on the performances they put in while being mismanaged like this but I know there is two good players right there if implemented and managed properly that’s why it’s key to bring in a manager who doesn’t using square pegs for round holes, and doesn’t fancy himself as some smart arse tinker man thinking he can outwit and outsmart every manager with his predictable dull system like he’s pep or klopp!. I won’t claim to know of anyone we can bring in from abroad as I don’t know much about any league outside of Britain anymore as I haven’t payed much attention for a good 10 years, plus they are a gamble anyways and mostly turn sour but my options would be 👇and of course please give me your suggestions too. garage ainsworth: done a fantastic job on a budget, gets the best out of what he’s got, would bring us back to basics and a respected figure who will maintain a tight knit dressing room, and it’s a local lad and rovers fan through and through will certainly not lack passion and enthusiasm like we’ve seen with Mowbray at times when things go sour. nathan jones: working miracles at Luton, currently in the top 6, full of passion, and as said above he’s getting the best out of a crappy squad, only signed loans, and journeymen and look at where they are ? Very hard team to beat with a never say die attitude and I don’t think it would take much to bring him away from that shithole. THE SQUAD FOR 22/23: looking at the squad we have left after the likely departures should we remain in the championship this is what we have left in terms of first team players GK’s: kaminski, pears Defenders: Wharton, Ayala, Carter, Pickering, JRC, edun, brown Midfield: travis, Buckley, Garrett, Attack: Gallagher, Dolan, hedges, mackanday, dack, burns this squad is of course thin and lacks depth in every department but with sensible recruitment and more promotions in the academy and a system implemented to get the best out of the players we have and will have it certainly does not lack the foundations to rebuild a solid team again. Also expect to see the likes of ash Phillips come into the mix soon. I look forward to reading all your opinions.

It’s Mowbray who is playing Buckley out of position so he’s responsible

Poor first half struggling with the basics giving them too much joy in the middle but by god you can tell they are a side built by wilder dirty insidious tactics like Luton

Awful so far giving the ball away like a bunch of nervous kids

Impact sun plus you play min 3 games so starting lineup will change

As we all probably know the good old masters football is returning with regional tournaments starting next year. If you have a r recollection of the old tournaments 2003 - 2011 rovers never did well so hopefully our modern veterans can do better. if they stick to the old format that sees 8 teams compete in groups of 4 which will likely be man United, Man City, Liverpool, Everton, rovers, Bolton, Burnley, and between Wigan, Preston and blackpool for the last spot, after not getting round to attending the old tournaments I’m pleased myself that I will get the chance again, hopefully being a yearly thing. who would be in your rovers squad ? Must be 35+ 6 a side three subs also take into account they need to be a fit as poss GK friedel DEF hendry DEF samba MID dunn MID tugay ST Jansen subs nelsen, MGP, Johnson

Glad I won’t be there to witness it

I decided on Saturday that I wasn’t even gonna pay £14 for sheff United I wouldn’t even pay 14p, mowbrsyvis careless and out his depth he doesn’t fear the sack he even appointed his own boss ffs, he couldn’t care less if he was sacked he just won’t leave even though he said he wouldn’t wanna be a burden cause he wants the pay off. Sick to death of him no enthusiasm, shite tactics, poor man management. says it all that he’s already thrown away 2 half time 2-0 leads from the exact same tactics against two mediocre at best teams who was here for the taking. The mans ab arrogant wanker but unfortunately he’s here till may atleast but the big problem is the club needs all round change all the first team management team need clearing bar Johnson and the whole board room especially the owners. I was picking and choosing games before now I ain’t gonna bother, I ain’t swimming in cash and there is no way I’m parting with 25 quid plus train or bus then food and drink plus my brothers ticket and even my partner for that crap when I can be spending the day doing something worth while

I thought why have they bought that one which shows the team lineup and that when the big screen can be used for that ? The ground is a mess not along ago a proper premier league ground now we’ve fallen behind the times cause it’s been neglected

Same old same old from borebray Christ almighty does the absolute bonehead not learn from his mistakes ? Second game I’ve been at home this season and it is the same result 2 up at half time sit back invite pressure abs inevitably concede an equaliser from 2 piss poor goals that’s not 4 times off the top of my head we’ve blown 2-0 leads at half time Wigan, Preston, Luton, now Coventry not to mention the times we’ve just nicked it from 2-0 leads like at mk dons and Walsall. It’s pathetic and it’s not good enough all I saw the clown do was clap like a seal hands on his head then sits down soon as they equalise when any proper manager would be going ape sh*t makes me ask myself if I wanna bother now, I’m not a season ticket holder so I pick and choose my games and it’s just not wiry spending 25 quid plus, travel as I live in Preston aswell as food and drink and when my brothers ticket for this shambles and to be coming home fuming. Don’t care if sheff United is only 15 quid a ticket it ain’t worth it for this absolute garbage. we need a manager that will get the best out of his team and go for the kill, Luton, blackpool, Coventry all poor quality sides who have taken points off us from conceding pathetic school boy error goals I’m absolutely sick to death of it

If brereton and gally are both out then front 3 of Dolan butterworth and khadra (if that’s how you spell his name) might not be the best on paper but would provide pace and something cov won’t be prepared for especially with butters having something to prove or another option is give burns a run out maybe off the bench, he is the next Adam Armstrong, I’ve said since I first watched him in 2020 youth cup he’s very similar to Armstrong abs will be his long term replacement just like Gallagher was supposed to replace graham until Mowbray saw him as the next beckham 🤣🤣🤣

He was getting all sorts of stick all over social media I know case I always defended him
