No, I didn't insinuate that. You decided to take that from it. I don't know why, probably because you're always hyper sensitive and hyper defensive when it comes to the club and staff. And you mean 'moot' point.

Irrelevant to my point.

Sharpe is talking cobblers about what it says for Dack's character though. It doesn't really say anything. He has been out for about a year, picking up a handsome wage for no end product. Any footballer worth the name would miss playing, but on top of that we don't have another game soon because of the international break so he has a nice rest after it, and getting himself sharp and firing us to the Prem could be his career defining moment, as well as a huge bank balance boosting one. Of course he played in the game. No need to blow smoke up his arse for it.

Best one posted so far.

But the owners do select the manager, and they've been selecting him for 5 years. -

I feel like a new manager now is perfect timing (not that it will happen of course). We could really use that new manager bounce that often comes along, the honeymoon period. Might just be enough to squeeze us into the playoffs. If we continue with Mowbray, I can only see things continuing in the same vein and us definitely not making the playoffs. I don't think we will get this good a shot at the playoffs again for a long time. For me, it's time to roll the dice. That said, I'm not interested in Johnson or Dunn for the top job. It probably wouldn't bring the new manager bounce because they are already known to the players, plus Johnson has zero senior managerial experience, whilst Dunn hasn't really succeeded with his senior managerial experience. I'm not one for the nostalgia of appointing an inexperienced manager just because he used to play for us, it's idiotic logic IMO. I don't know who is available right now though so I can't suggest anyone. -

Yep. Probably even if Reading went off for their international break and we carried on playing the game. -

Do you want him gone? -

bluebruce replied to joey_big_nose's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Probably why I didn't notice him. It was hard to pay attention to the game near the end until we got into promising positions (which of course we threw away like Mowbray supposedly throws away the chance of funds to strengthen the squad). -

Has Hedges touched the ball? -

Penalty that. But I'm not even mad that the ref acknowledged something happened, blowing the whistle and stopping play, but gave us nowt. We don't deserve a thing and we would only miss it anyway. -

Wishful thinking. Reckon he will get a new deal. -

The last 4 games we should have been coming away with at least 8 or 9 points. Looks like it will be 4 though. Can't piss away your winnable games like this, even if I fully expected us to. -

Want that point back? 😞 -

bluebruce replied to joey_big_nose's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Yep, I know all that. But we don't deserve anything from today, especially after that ridiculous miss just now, so I'd take the point. We aren't gonna be making the playoffs. -

Don't remotely agree with any of that so we will just leave it there. -

He isn't as rapid as Dolan, Khadra or Gally I wouldn't say. He's also not an attacker, whether we stick him there or not. -

Oh I totally agree. But since I suspect we are about to walk away with as many points as the UK gets from most countries at the Eurovision, I'd take a point. -

Dolan had a mixed game for me, and I'm a huge fan. But what this does mean is Gally is our only pace up top, in a side reliant on counter attacking... -

All subs done by the 60 min mark. It's amazing this doesn't bite Tony in the arse more often, because he does it nearly every week, for years now. Especially with our injury prone squad, you'd think it would cause problems, but we never seem to pick up injuries when we have used all our subs 2/3 of the way through the game. Lives a charmed life in many ways does Mr Mowbray. -

Right now, I'd take a draw here. I certainly wouldn't have before kickoff. -

He did a few lovely things in the first half. Just not when the final ball or shot was required. He isn't alone in that though, by any stretch. -

Infuriating when our best chances fall to Buckley. These finishing sessions he is doing aren't yielding dividends yet. -

We have had the two most presentable chances this half and not forced the keeper into a save. They had a half chance and Kaminski had to get down well to keep it out. We are seriously lacking firepower right now. Dack simply has to come on soon.
