At least Grabbi scored a few good goals.

Well if you set your team up one way and it's nor working try another tactic. Chucking Samuel on out wide is just more of the same.

Two types of midfield players cause defenders problems - the Damien Duff/Scott Sellars type that can get around teams and up the side and the David Dunn/Eyal Berkovic type who can carry the ball from the half way line and draw defenders out. If we have any players who can do this we need to play them.

They all do it. Somebody once saw Arjen Robben come in off the right wing and bend one into the far corner with his left foot. After that they were all expecting Tom Dick and Harry who were playing at a much lower level to be able to it on a regular basis. I played full back and I'd show my winger inside all day long. " Go on son, get inside and run into heavy traffic, you'll do for me ". The wingers you really feared were the ones who were always trying to get on your outside and get everybody turned around and running back towards their own goal. Then you have a real problem. Mowbray was saying as much in his interview tonight.

That 11 that started the game today should be streets ahead of Luton. Player for player we are. They need motivating though and obvously that isn't happening.

Mowbray was mumbling on about " needing somebody to get to the byeline and pull the ball back for somebody running in " in his interview. No shit Sherlock but Gallager and Samuel won't do that. Chapman might though. We'd have been better off losing at Reading and winning today, at least the home fans will have gone home happy. I don't dislike Mowbray but being brutally honest he'll never get us promoted if he lives to be a 100. Look at the two teams, look how much we've spent on strikers. Player for player we are much better. No disrespect to Luton but they got battered last weekend, they got battered this Wednesday and we turn up like we just expected them to roll over and lie down..

Just listened to Mowbray's interview. Blah, Blah, Blah. Totally uninspiring. It sounded like he was was discussing how he'd lost a 50p down the back of the sofa. At least he realised that playing Gallagher and Armstrong was a mistake.

Maybe a few regular contributors had heart attacks today. They haven't been on to give the benefit of their wisdom so far. Maybe the internet is down in certain parts of Blackburn.

Yeah but what about the headers he keeps winning ?

The mentality at the club isn't right and hasn't been for years. It's too easy/osy. What do you think will happen on Monday morning ? I can tell you - nothing. If it was me they'd all be in for shooting practice tomorrow morning. Would it do any good ? who knows but it'd wipe the smiles off their faces, Nice guys come second.

He's fallen down the same black hole that swallowed Gladwin. Remember him ? Tall blonde lad.

I'm just hearing Japan beat Ireland in the Rugby Union. Let's not get equally complacent. We need to start at a high tempo and get at them from the start.

There was something inexplicable about this deal right from the off. It went completely against our normal transfer policy. Maybe the truth will come out one day but I still can't figure it out. If he'd have cost us £500k It would still have been a gamble but £7 mill ? I've not seen anything that tells me he'll be any better than Samuel and that's roughly what we paid for him.

Show us that clip of Bennett in the Oldham away game were he put the ball into the side netting from about 3 yards out with the Oldham goalie on his arse on the edge of the 6 yard box. My mum could have back heeled that one in.

And one less club to get relegated as I understand it.

Passing up the touchline isn't so simple and that's what full backs have to do more than any other player. I remember watching that Simon Grayson playing right back for us and he must have put every bloody pass into touch ! What a waste of space he was.

I wasn't getting over excited about the striker ( Assambolonga ? ) we were supposed to be interested in from Boro earlier this year either. I'm not sure he was the sort of striker we needed and I'm not sure he would have made that much of a difference given the way we were playing.

It's starting to look like he was signed to appease his fan club.

I don't care if he never mentions the " P " word as long as the team does the talking out on the pitch. There's too much attention given to managers interviews these days. Kenny never said much but the team did the talking for him.

We've been missing guys who seriously don't like losing. I think Cunningham and Johnson have that aggressive streak we've been short of.

Lenihan was crap in that game also, would you drop him ? Nobody played well that day.

If I was a championship winger I'd rather play against Bennett than Nyambe. Just saying.

We had a similar player many years ago called David Helliwell. He was a very skilful midfield player who I remember standing in for Bryan Douglas in one game and really looking the part. He could pick a pass and he could beat a man but he was about 5' 8" tall and about 9 stones wet through. Another thing was he wasn't particularly aggressive. Stuart Metcalfe, who came through at about the same time wasn't any bigger than David but he had the ability to fight fire with fire if his opponent got a bit naughty. Helliwell never really fulfilled his promise because he never filled out physically as he got older and he just drifted down the leagues.

I think the point is if we had blown the same amount of dosh on another striker we may have got something back for our money by now. At the moment I see nothing that suggests we'll ever get our money back, never mind make a profit, on Brererton.

Looks like the dingles let Vokes go just at the right time.
