Anymore than 99% of players never slag the manager off - until one of them has left the club of course.

I can’t see it Gav, we’re on our holidays now. In fact we’re on our second holiday. We don’t get the importance of derbies, they’re just another 90 minutes to Mowbray and that attitude has fed down to the players.

Jansen was like that when he came at first. As we used to say “ He wanted a ball of his own”. Souey sorted him out pretty sharpish but he was a proper manager.

I try very hard not to listen to anything he says.

No Rochdale. This guy has quite a collection. On Saint David’s he’ll have the Welsh dragon, St Andrews day the Saltaire etc. You name a day , if there’s a flag for it, he’ll fly it. On ordinary days it’s the cross of St George. I was amazed the other day to see him flying the Union Flag up side down. I thought he was an expert.

It’s a real doss down at Ewood. All pals together with no rigour or discipline. We could play like shit bags tonight and tomorrow will just be like another day.

I was looking at some games from the 1970’s the other day, that was noticeable, throw ins were taken almost immediately and from where the ball went out. We spend ages inching up the line just to give the ball away. When did we last score direct from a free kick ? Surely one of them is capable of being a threat. Missing penalties etc. That’s before we get into my main gripe - the lack of running off the ball, taking passes stood still etc.

We’ll be joining Bury and Oldham one day if we don’t get rid.

You only have to watch us trying to do the basics to realise we aren’t a well coached or motivated team. That’s is been my No1 criticism of Mowbray from his first season here. We just don’t do the basics well at all.

Yes that’s a very telling statistic. Anybody know what criterion’s we’re used to arrive at that table.

Just the one ?

Every time I see the title of this thread “ Mowbray’s reign as a whole “ - why does the expression “ Black hole “ come to my mind.

If the youth team manager keeps Burnley up will they make the same mistake as the red rats did with Solksjaer ? Makes you wonder what would have happened if we’d have blown Mowbray out six games ago and appointed Johnno in his place. Could we have honestly done any worse ? Of course it helps if the people making the decisions are actually in the bloody country and actually know we are playing.

Last time Everton went down to the last day they won under suspicious circumstances.

I’ll pay for a taxi to take him there.

That’s one sold then.

Everton need to come out of this game with some self respect or it could be all over. I can’t see a win or even a draw but they must avoid a battering at all costs.

Yep, I envy any team that plays with some pride and self respect. We have none.

Have Wolves anything to play for apart from pride ?

I had him behind Grealish at the time. Those long term injuries have blunted him at the moment. It’s in the lap the gods if he makes a full recovery. It’s not nearly there yet.

Me neither. It’s a fork in the road for me. I’ve had enough of him.

I was just looking through next weeks TV guide when I came across this programme - next Weds at 9-00pm on ITV - “ Searching for Michael Jackson’s Zoo With Ross Kemp “. Do they know something we don’t ?

Dion.

Don’t tell me. I’ve long tried to avoid anything he says. Last time he was on Radio Lancs my blood pressure shot up.
