  1. I know we're a nursery for PL clubs, but at some point Mowbray has to find his balls and bench Elliot. He's had a horror 2021. I'm not a big a fan of Dolan as most of you, but he should he on for Elliot in the second half.
  2. Keith Andrews "it's still a transitional period". Fuck off. You were a shit player for us and you're a shit colour commentator.
  3. I just stated to the room "they get paid for this analysis". They blatantly don't watch the games.
  4. Dack and Armstrong, even in their richest veins of form, are carried for the vast majority of the 90 minutes. They're both out and out goal scorers. You'd be playing with 9 men if you played them both every week - that was always my concern when Armstrong started banging the goals in playing at #9. There was then no way back in the starting 11 for Dack. As for replacing Armstrong with a target man - well half of Brereton's revival this year has been his ability to hold the ball up. I'd play him at #9 next year and build around him. Our attack looks vastly different when the ball sticks to a forward - it brings everyone else into it.
  5. Agree to disagree. We've had a long string of bad managers (including Lambert). Bowyer at least made a healthy profit on transfers whilst keeping the club in the Championship.
  6. 'St' Gary did a fantastic job, following on from the disasters that were Kean, Black, Berg and Appleton. He perhaps wasn't the man long-term, but he's probably the best manager to walk through the door since Allardyce.
  7. He's not a PL striker - and quite frankly I wouldn't trust Mowbray with any money, but if selling Armstrong means we don't sell the training ground I'll drive him to London myself. £25m is hilarious though - he's half the player Watkins is.
  8. It's an unbalanced squad, but yes there's good players in there. When you can throw on Trybull (he gets way too much criticism - he's a tidy DM) off the bench you've got a deep squad.
  9. Why was Dack playing as a Deep Lying Playmaker / Right Winger when he came on? I get wanting to get on the ball, but he's done ALL of his damage as a Rover in the box.
  10. It's just about survival now and hopefully replacing the manager at the end of the season. He's not going to get sacked and he's not going to walk before then.
  11. I saw the incident - nothing in it. He's now lucky to be on the field having brought Rothwell down when he was in full flow.
  12. Ostigard seems to be a prick - complaining when he scored an offside goal. Shoved Lenihan and complains that he got booked.
  13. Two sitting midfielders now - holding on for a draw.
  14. I'm not saying he IS a PL CM, I'm just saying he stands out when allowed to play centrally. He's been one of our better players today. Unless you're Zidane, Iniesta or Xavi you never boss the midfield for 90 minutes.
  15. I'd love to see him played centrally. He holds the ball up.
  16. You won wonder what Mowbray watches in training. You see Rothwell picking the ball up from the back four and pinging accurate passes about playing centrally - he looks like a PL CM. How you spend two years shoving him out wide left because he can dribble a little bit and he reminds you of Benrahma is beyond me. Criminal mismanagement.
  17. No, they said he scored against Coventry and last time he was at Ewood he was managing a team that put us out of the UEFA Cup.
  18. I love how our commentators act like Armstrong is Mbappe. Lots of sharp intakes of breath when he misses an interception 40 yards from goal. He's not guaranteed to run away from a defence.
  19. Douglas has been consistently shite in a Rovers shirt.
