If I was in the pub folk would be going: ‘shite that, didn’t get forward enough etc etc... but glad for the win’ Mowbray slaughtered the game, Said it was ‘horrible, ugly’, that he was ‘disappointed with the performance, but glad to put the points in the bag’. Just like on here then! So I’ve no idea why people are trying to constantly derail threads with this ‘sooo negative on here’ crap, but it’s getting extremely tiresome.

The ref didn’t help, whistle was never out of his mouth and he dished out 8 yellow cards though there was hardly a bad tackle.

Yes, very odd. Of course you compare yourselves to the other teams in the league - it’s the competition! But ok, put it another way, I would have much preferred the money to be spent on more established players, we aren’t a million miles from a top 6 team, that money could have got us there. Hope you’re right on the other points.

Who else in the Championship are buying raw 19 year olds for £7million? Other clubs would be buying finished articles at that price (or a couple), players that could very well fire a team knocking on the door of the top 6 to promotion. I’m all for the young English talent approach. Rothwell, Armstrong et al coupled with a good number of Academy lads in the team is working well. But this one is a very odd deal.

But if it’s ‘touch and go with work’ how can he buy in advance (and avoid the penalty charge)?

Mods... assemble!

Pub at 2pm... ’what you think of the team Unsall?’ ’No comment. I trust in Mowbray’. ’oh...’

Ok wrong word. However for a half season ticket to cost £18-22 a match? You can get match tickets for not much more. Considering I paid £15 a match for mine. This is a chance to get folk back!

There’s a difference between trusting the manager/being delighted with the job he’s doing and questioning individual decisions.

Name names, who doesn’t trust Mowbray?

Half season tickets now on sale, 11 games kicking in on New Years Day. https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2018/november/half-season-tickets-on-sale-now/ Working out at £20-£22 a game in the JW Upper, £18 a game in the Blackburn End and JW lower. Seems steep to me? As that would extrapolate to a £506 JW upper season ticket and a £414 Blackburn End.

I would assume this is a political move to spook UEFA into giving even more Champions League dosh to the elite clubs.

Do you know him? How would you possibly know that?

Ah I see, so it’s just your opinion Phil. Fair enough, I don’t think you are a million miles away personally, obviously a model the owners have bought into, as this summer’s incomings have shown, but by the same token couldn’t the £7 million have been spread around on a few Armstrongs?

Not a maths teacher I take it Bizzle?

To me, as much as anything he seems short on fitness and confidence. So, considering he didn’t play a minute at West Brom and the U23s played on Monday, therefore giving ample rest till tomorrow, why wasn’t he involved with them?

If that’s the case, he’ll be an excellent appointment for someone.

Again, it’s a message board, it’s people’s opinions. Support is what he needs at the matches - he’s getting it thus far. Now, if in a few weeks the ironic cheers etc. start, then you’d have a point.

Here hoping! I think last season helped as decent prices, loads of local games and new grounds (plus winning every week!) reawakened a long dormant away support who got the travel bug again.

Doncaster was capped initially, but they relented in the end and we got the full 4K. My point being I certainly don’t think a sell out is a given like some on here, as we have very rarely taken 5,500 away in the past decade.

Few posts in this thread...

Lighten up! The lifestyle of footballers just amuses me. Good luck to them.

Apart from the Lambert first game, when was the last time we took 5,000+ to a league match anywhere? Wigan mid 2000s, perhaps?

Fair enough, he’d have to be up at the crack of dawn to get to Brockhall from Wrea Green for 10am! Footballers ay!
