Complete nonsense, especially after two games. Now if we go through the season playing like this and stuffing teams 3, 4 & 5-0 every week then I might change my mind. I still say that Hodgson's sides at the start of the 97 season was the best "pure football" I have seen from a Rovers side, followed by Souness's side of 02-03. Obviously if we're combining the whole package, then the side of 95 had it all, good football that could mix it up, and where everyone played as a team.

Haha, no to be fair you just got caught up in it, I just knew I made a post about Holtby sitting as a deep midfielder when he joined and went to find it ?

Can't believe people are actually discussing Jones like he's an option ?

The game they played in is the below...

Hate to toot my own horn, but I made this post nearly a year ago. It was as clear as day that Holtby would be best in that deep midfield role as soon as he joined, why Mowbray was messing around playing him everywhere but there is a mystery to me. @Paul Mani reckoned he wasn't a CM ? In all fairness though, earlier in this thread I said I was convinced that he wouldn't be here this season, I thought it was a strange deal at the start and he would be back in Germany by now. I do think he will leave after this season though, and that Mowbray has eyes on Buckley taking up this role as a regular next season, hopefully it comes off.

Somebody will somewhere, remember the Jordan Rhodes debate on here? "All he does is score goals" well, yeah I'll take that thanks!

Contrast that approach from PNE to ours practically begging people to buy them.

He publicly hung his defenders out to try in that whole "defenders are coming" spiel a couple of years back. Then there was Raya last summer.

One of the best man managers out there was Kenny Dalglish. He always said, and I saw it on one of those old season review videos recently "we're always looking to bring players in that are better than what we have got, it's how a club moves forward". I'm certainly not having it that Mowbray is this master man manager.

Taken from that article.. This is why we'll never progress with Mowbray, if you're signing players for any other reason than improving the first 11 then what's the point? We have enough squad fillers as it is.

Forget #WeAreTogether #WehaveDoneAllWeCan should be the tagline at Rovers these days.

Still promoting them via social media this morning. I also received an email this morning telling me that because I bought the ifollow match pass for the Wycombe game that they would knock that off my season ticket.

Love all these old clips showing up. Chris Sulley & Scott Sellars down that left flank attacking the Blackburn End is one of my earliest memorys of Ewood whilst sitting in the old nuttall street stand.

You would think the only way we will get a respectable number sold next season would be either a huge reduction in price (never going to happen) or to somehow sneak a promotion to breath some life back into the club and get people interested again.

I'd imagine most of those fans who bought season tickets at other clubs, did so knowing full well that there was a possibility of most of the games being behind closed doors.

Agree it will be different for everyone at the end of the day. I think its a fair assumption that Waggott would do that, where has he shown any kind of business savvy here so far in regards to ticketing and increasing the fanbase? It's just rise after rise, with a stand shut here and there, with little emphasise on loyalty or getting more fans in, and more on what he can squeeze out the current hardcore. Do you think an £80 rise for a Riverside ST, in the middle of a pandemic, on the verge of the biggest recession in decades, in a town like Blackburn was particularly business savvy?

If I buy a season ticket and steam the rest of the games, it costs me £559 in cash. There is no way around that, cash that has left my bank account. I might get that back in "club credit" next season, but who knows what will have happened or will happen by the time next summer rolls around? The price will rise next season again to offset some of the refunds, Waggott isn't bothered about business suicide here, if he was I doubt the Riverside tickets would have gone up by £80 this season.

Haha, a typo honest.

If it was Chris Sully, I would be interested.

If you stream every game this season it would cost £460. If you buy a season ticket and steam the rest of the games, it will cost £559 Forget about refunds, Waggott said the same to the FF back in June about a rebate from last seasons missed games to go on this years price. Even if the refunds do happen, you can bet there will be a price rise next season to offset them.

I'd be bringing Nyambe back in, but for the rest I agree,

And Dack

vs Southampton in April 2005, MGP Scored from it too.

I love how its so flippant like its that easy. Could name you plenty of players that we have sold over the years for big money, not once have we been a better side the year after.

Somewhere between 16th & 12th. A 5-0 win (as enjoyable as it was) against the worst side to come to Ewood in the last decade doesn't sway my decision.
