aye,i can see us hovering over the relegation zone by november and mowbray bleating that we can`t compete with the top half and we fans should lower our expectations,dismissing the fact that barnsley got into the play offs without any money at all,i can see it panning out like the above scenario,mowbray to me has now overtaken kean as my most hated rover figure ever,at least kean was stupid and always destined to get the sack,mowbray is slyly playing it all for his own gain,picking up his wages and not giving a **** about the club

he could take us down to the conference and he`d still be in a job,the only way mowbray is leaving is if he gets a job somewhere else(highly unlikely),he decides to retire(possible after this season) or he shuffles off the mortal coil,he could in all possibility get a job upstairs in some capacity,though it won`t rid us of him and he`ll still be able to wield his influence,sorry to say we are stuck with his incompetence,poor coaching and general malaise

does make you wonder if venkys are just running the club down in revenge for mr venky getting a snowball in the mush years ago,top marks to the man/woman who threw the offending snowball,it was right on target

i remember one game in the early 80`s when my dad made us stand in the burnden paddock,when i protested about not standing on the embankment he told me to stop moaning,you`ll see why we are here in a minute,cue twenty minutes into the game it all kicked off in there,bottles,bits of loose concrete and all sorts of debris flying everywhere!!! imo it was the most intimidating ground in the whole football league,worse than the victoria ground,upton park,st andrews or the den,i think it was 1995/96,when they beat us,shearer and all,they were all going mental looking for anyone in blue and white outside the ground,me and mate just put our heads down and managed to make it to the train in one piece🙂

to get the best out of rothwell he needs to be played just behind a central striker where he can exploit space and use his speed to create chaos,more often than not in his whole time here he`s been to deep and almost in front of the two centre backs at times,i keep maintaining that we`ve got 5 or 6 lads with the speed to make us deadly on the counter attack,play to your best attributes and make the opposition worry about you,not the other way round,our erstwhile manager though is insistent on playing everyone out of position🤔

and in the same position we were 5 years ago,if a manager can`t move the club forward in 5 seasons,then it`s not going to ever happen for him

that luverly emma louise jones,she also pops up and out on william hill tv announcing the odds❤️

potentially interesting news,though tbh id`e have anyone in charge other than mowbray,i think he lost the dressing room halfway through last season and his depressing musings to the press were a sign he`d lost the plot completely,not sure venus is management material,could be a case of decent coach,bad manager,if mowbray does go i hope david lowe goes with him,by accounts iv`e heard he`s about as popular as a mosquito at the dinner table

watford apparently want armstrong but won`t go above 15 million,rovers holding out for 25 million🤣,the way we do business,watford only have to hang on for another week and they`ll get him for 8 million😒

i was of the opinion there would be 5 or 6 teams worse than us this season and we`de be boring but safe,now im`e not sure,half the side are unfit,havn`t had any game time and won`t be match fit until the season is a month old,don`t think the side has much fight in it either,if we get sucked into a relegation battle,they`ll not have the spirit to get out of it

we could drop into the north west counties and it would be worth it just to get rid of venkys,swag and moggasaurous

i`de take not having a manager over mowbray,results and performances will improve without him im`e sure

it`s not against the laws of the game to mix it up now and again,even the great liverpool sides of the 80`s and fergusons man utd went direct when it suited them,i feel like going to brockhall and shouting through a megaphone at the isolating idiot "your tactics are ****"

whats the point of playing possesion football if your players ar`nt good enough,ffs,it`s blazingly obvious that it does`nt work

chapman seems to have found new confidence from his loan at shrewsbury,could however be curtailed when he inevitably gets dropped when the season starts,can`t see mowbray suddenly deciding to pick after dissing him for 2 seasons

more likely he`s fallen out with mowbray over playing out wide

the telegraph fan boys think we are getting in the play offs,anyone who disagrees is a slavering troll🤐

38% vs 62% in possesion stakes,which is the most important facet,cmon rovers make it 70%

whats up with gallagher,he`s not featured at all yet??

i think he`s been given the tin-tack and it will be released to the media on monday,we`re on the march with venus army🙂

he`s most likely banking on fans who are desperate to get back into ewood,he can`t be very bright because he`s completely misunderstood his target market,people in blackburn won`t pay those walk on prices,when it comes to low key games and bad weather we`ll be lucky to get 6000 on especially when his managers tactics bores the pants of everyone and festoons us in the lower half of the table

should have beem given the boot after the 1st season back in the championship,it was pretty clear he was`nt up to it halfway through the season,we were leaking goals because we had two midfielders playing centre back(rodwell and mulgrew)tony then decides to blame the keeper and offloads him,he plays the excellent harrison reed out of position to accomadate corry evans and he spends 12 million quid on two centre forwards when he should have bought two centre backs,we went into games unprepared and were physically found wanting,a worrying sign of the future

there was a russian player in mexico 86,igor belanov,who had a fantastic long shot,he smacked in some beauties,agree 100% about the current possesion craze,fortunately football tactics always come full circle,everyone will be trying other stuff in the next few seasons

im`e sure they did`nt know how venkys would operate and im`e certain mama venky did`nt mention putting her trust in bent agents,i`ve also been told the only reason they won`t sell the club is they`ll be regarded as failures in india,it`s an indian caste idealogy or something along those lines,they`ll lose credibilty amongst their business rivals and lose massive amounts of respect as well

i don`t think mowbray will sign another contract,his current one is due to finish at the end of the season and i think he`ll retire to his beach hut in filey,not much to look forward to i know but you gotta hold on to something!!!!!!!
