Playing Gallagher out wide is an absolute waste of time.

How is that not a booking!?

I was going to say - I hate the situation Rovers have found themselves in over the last decade, but the last thing I'd do is bag the Academy. Arguably our three best players are Academy graduates - Travis, Lenihan and Nyambe. The argument about players coming through at 20, proving they're not world beaters, doesn't wash with me because Mowbray is clearly reluctant to play young players. In our current situation, if I was the manager, I'd be playing a hell of a lot of Academy players in the first team. They've not looked much worse than the established starters.

You have to manage different personalities differently - not everyone is a motivated self-starter. Some need an arm round the shoulder, some need a boot up the arse. From the outside looking in, Chapman has been brought in and left to 'prove himself' in the reserves for 6 months, despite our first team screaming out for pace and width. He doesn't even make the bench - some personalities react to that by taking their ball and going home.

A lad that's been horribly mismanaged by Tony.

Brereton is never going to be trusted for a run of games upfront on his own under Mowbray. He's behind Armstrong, Graham and Gallagher. Going out on loan is the best thing for him.

A few weeks out, or a few weeks to set up the scan? 'Cos it took us long enough to diagnose Dack!

You say topsy turvey, I say shite. Tomato, tomato.

If you accept what Mowbray and the Venkys have turned us into, then yes it's a good point.

We used to have Shearer, Tugay and McCarthy. Fabulous for him that he'd be the best player in the Championship - the fact that's even relevant to us is my point.

How the mighty have fallen. What a sad state our club is in if that statement is true.

£20m?! On what planet are we getting £20m for Dack?!

Graham is still our best striker by a comfortable distance. I've no idea why fans are trying to rush him out the door.

Then spunk £7m on a 19 year old out of nowhere.

Travis has turned into a right little diving shit. Never a red card in a million years.

No excuse not to play Rankin-Costello for the rest of the season - great ball for that Gallagher goal.

Where is Rankin-Costello playing? He seems to be very narrow.

Poorly and out of position at LW / LAM.

I think at this point they've got to admit he's a bust and try to ship him out for as much as possible.

If you're looking at assets, he's the biggest one we have. He's a PL RB.

How different things could be if we'd used that £12m on other players and just played Armstrong upfront (in this system).

There's a difference between sacking a manager who was making going to Ewood a chore and replacing him with the tea lady.

Fateful day? The football under Allardyce was unwatchable.

To be fair I'm not sure which one is better in the air...

I don't want Ben Pearson anywhere near a team I support. There's no place for his antics in football.
