im`e sure there were plenty of bad signings from decades ago,paul mckinnon,viv busby,jimmy quinn(i never like him tbh) spring to mind,but they were signed for reasonable fees for the era and did`nt drain the finances by being on stupidly massive deals,the likes of best and murphy did`nt even put in the effort,thats why i hate them so much and for me the worst signings we`ve ever made,incidentally,keans love bunny bradley orr was`nt a bad player just the slavish devotion to his master that turned everyone against him

the crux of the matter is mowbray sold a good goalkeeper,could`nt find a replacement and brought a rubbish one in when panicking,rank bad management again that`s gone unnoticed by anyone in the shambles we call a boardroom,i just hope to god i never see walton within 50 miles of ewood again and he`s got some inflated view of himself that he thinks he can challenge for the 1st team jersey now the ?

mowbray to shearer "alan you`re not ready to play upfront,you need to learn the position,stick to the left wing until you prove to me that you can play through the middle!!"

i`me seeing another season of would could have been and more gutless performances,the only positive would be mowbray to wave goodbye or for him to get a bang on the head and turn into some kind of attacking football guru

a good signing if it`s true,though tbh anyone would be an improvement on walton

that would be great idea but for one big problem,one striker is stuck out wide and the other is mincing about playing "false no 9" which i still don`t know what it means,poor ryan thunders down the wing whenever he can to find gallagher looking perplexed and the other striker somewhere other than the penalty area,though i admit his crossing needs work

and they will only realise their potential by playing. i agree,though mowbray will see it different and play them out of position or not at all,i have zero confidence in him getting the best out of any young player,it will be very interesting to see what he does with butterworth,who for me would be a direct replacement and upgrade on the departed samuel,would be typical mowbray tactics to shunt him out wide and ruin him

bit like not repaying your car finance cos the car turned out to be slow,unresponsive and frequently would not start?

i know what you mean,i still get a buzz when i see floodlights in the distance!!!!!!!,i suppose when i was growing up there was barely any live maches on tv so saturday afternoon was sacred

tony and mrs m fancy a move to sandbanks,negotiating a pay off as we speak?

no way is buckley ready for the hustle and bustle of the championship,he needs 3 months in the lower leagues to learn how to look after himself,as for the other two,i think they are ok though no doubt mowbray will either play them out of position or ignore them

our goalkeeping coach has never caught a cross in his life,so it figures?

watched him when he was on loan at southport vs chorley,big lad,good header of the ball but very slow,never going to make this level imo,wharton is a far better prospect and player

think you`re being a bit unfair on nyambe,he can`t show any attacking intent because he`s gets no support,hence he ends up stopping and passing square or back,a genuine wide player would give him an option of the overlap,we could have a potent weapon if we utilise him that way

wasn`t chris hughton lined up to be their next manager???

lots of us want mowbray gone because the football is mind numbing,the team is mentally weak,everybody is out of position and he`s blown 12 million quid on two strikers,one of whom would look out of place on a sunday morning and the other who spends games out wide looking lost,this team makes big sams look cavalier,at least his side could defend though

a lot of people overestimate this premier league lark,there is`nt that much difference in ability from the bottom half of the premier league to the top six of the championship,it`s when you get into the top half the gap starts widening,im`e certain west brom and leeds (pre promotion) would give aston villa,brighton and newcastle a good game

mowbray has played armstrong out wide loads of times,he loves a striker on the wing,it`s his guilty pleasure,he`s the only person in the whole rovers community who thinks that strikers can effectively play wide and genuine wide players are flash and unreliable,the bloke is seriously confused

he only moved armstrong inside because dack got injured imo,he`d still be ploughing a dejected figure out wide otherwise

our possession style of football goes sideways,back and does`nt create any chances,i agree it`s fecking boring

rank bad management imo,reed looks a natural in the middle

fulham look a class above cardiff tbh,though they don`t half play some fanny football

class player that lad,connor gallagher as well is destined for bigger things

got to disagree about williams,he`s a weak and unreliable centre back who is bullied by anyone with muscle(stockley for pne completely owned him) and as a left back is an accident waiting to happen,one of the players we need to get shut of if we are ever going to mount a play off challenge,bauer might not be anything special but he`s far superior to williams

mowbray should be looking to mix the play up,he`s speaking like he`s managing barcelona with this posession football obsession,not sure armstrong and dack can play together for me it`s one or the other,we don`t need moore either,we`ve already got a target man in gallagher,just stop putting him out wide,give him proper coaching on holding the ball up and getting in defenders faces,he`s big enough to be a right nuisance on set pieces as well,i agree we have other priorities to fill
