Now now @bazza a little less positivity if you don’t mind 😀 Seriously though your post sums things up nicely, I’m sure everyone feared the worse conceding so early in the game, but the lads showed character and bottle, credit to them all, superb stuff. Onwards and upwards.

AJ Odudu - Doing Blackburn proud, with the odd reference to the mighty Blackburn Rovers thrown in for good measure.

@Paul Mani Stop the cock waving, its embarrassing. Did you tell this site that Mowbray was going to be sacked in March/April 2021? Replaced by Alex Neil? Or have I got that wrong?

A weeks a long time in football, you could hardly contain your excitement last week after the derby win 😃

When you come to terms with the fact that we are a mid-table Championship club and it doesn't get any better until those rats in Pune leave the sinking ship, its a much better place to be bazza. I've also just spoken to a mate of mine taking his 5 kids for the first time today, they're off the scale with excitement at the prospect of going to the football. Its not all bad now is it.

Despite all the negativity surrounding the club after Wednesdays mauling by Fulham, I'm still of the opinion that the players are playing for the manager, they're all pulling in the right direction. With that in mind, for the thousands of Rovers fans near and far, lets have a performance today that we can all be proud of, my god we deserve one after that shambles on Wednesdays. Come on Rovers.

I saw an interview with Ryan Nelson recently, superb captain, loved by the fans and very well respected. He was called up by Barry Chuckle (Agnew) out of the blue and told to pack his bags, clean out his locker, say bye to nobody and leave the clubs training ground immediately, the owners had released him from his contract without any discussion whatsoever. Within 24hrs he'd signed for Spurs and Barry Chuckle was back on the phone asking what he was playing at, the club now wanted a transfer fee for him, needless to say he was told to piss off. These aren't isolated incidents for badly advised owners, they systematically dismantled that squad to cut costs to the bone, its bordering on criminal with some evidence to support that allegedly. Anyone now telling me that they're willing to listen, they're willing to learn, they're talking to fans, whilst we languish in midtable championship obscurity because of that kind of behaviour, can go forth and multiply with the greatest of respect.

The club is a basket case and will remain so until the owners leave, the majority know that, we just have to wait for the day to come. But what I would say is the current setup, Waggott CEO, Mowbray manager and Cheston CFO is the closest proper football club structure we have had since Venkys sacked Allardyce and forced Williams out. For years we've had Cheston counting beans in the morning and working with managers in the afternoon on the playing side, no wonder we've struggled to sign players to contracts. Before that we had a bunch of chancers who filled deep pockets with loot and headed for hills to count the spoils, hopefully karma evens the score with those rats one day. Taken in isolation, the current setup is the best we've had den, but the calibre is nowhere near good enough, especially in Waggotts case.

Its strongly rumoured in the press this morning that another defeat for Warnock and he'll be in the dole queue with McCarthy and Houghton. Just further strengthens the point that its not easy to compete in this league with little or no budget against the Premiership parachute mob.

Guilty pleasure? I'm thinking of giving the new ABBA album 'Voyage' a spin. Greatest pop band ever.

We've not had an angry crowd since King **** and relegation against Wigan at home, i wouldn't hold your breath sgig.

Your first line is spot on, I couldn't agree more. I agree with him, the gulf between Premiership clubs coming down and mid table clubs like us is massive, he's just being honest. Look at the teams that went up last season, look at the teams that will go up this season, but budgets, big wages and flush with Premiership money. We can't pay the wages of a poor loan signings that nobody else wants, the taps been turned off. As for the list of managers, both McCarthy and Houghton have just been fired after disastrous tenures with clubs plummeting towards league one, Mowbray has us mid table, a position both those managers would have given right arms for. Nothing wrong with an ambitious manager, I agree with you islander, we deserve better, much better.

https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/news/19695918.queens-platinum-jubilee-blackburn-bid-city-status/ From a very selfish point of view I'd rather us remain a small town who's football team has regularly punched above its weight, but I know city status would open up a whole host of opportunities for the town and its communities. Good luck.

He isn't alienating large parts of the fanbase DMTP, hardly a dissenting voice according to fans at the game on Wednesday. Mowbray will keep us in this league, mid table is our level whether people like it or not and he'll continue to achieve that even with the smallest inexperienced squad I can ever remember at Ewood. The bottom line is the owners are the problem, not the manager.

Correct Marton, my apologies I thought he'd been fired, Barnsley could do with him back and quick! We were beaten by the best side in the division on Wednesday, played most of the game with 10 men. Last Saturday 1500 Rovers fans bounced up the motorway with 3 points from Derby on the back of 3 points in the last home game, its hardly a serious decline but I understand the knee jerk after a trouncing.

Keep clutching Mercer, you're bound to get one right eventually 😃

The past 10yrs has proven that despite constant managerial changes the club continues to decline JH, not bolstering a notion, its there for everyone to see. We've had CEO after CEO and manager after manager, its not hard to see that the problems are in Pune not Blackburn, but change the manager, you never know unless you try. But a word of caution, the posters on here tonight wanted the Barnsley manager last season, he's on the scrap heap, Chris Houghton too and lets not forget Mick McCarthy, Mark Robbin will be next..... Mowbray has outlasted all of those managers, done a far better job than them all. Treading water is acceptable to me until we get rid of these owners, Mowbray is a steady hand until that day comes.

3-1 Rovers.

Thanks chaddy. The fans are clearly still on his side, despite the feeding frenzy on here. Let hope he and the team rewards that loyalty tomorrow and we thump the blunts.

I wasn't at Ewood on Wednesday, thankfully...... From the Tv coverage I never heard a dissenting voice other than the usual booing? Granted most of the fans had seen sense and left by the final whistle, but can anyone that went confirm if the crowd turned on the manager? Cheers.

How times have changed...... Once upon a time you'd have gone to The Beechwood on Livesey Branch Road straight after the game to tell them they're shit. It always struck me how some of the players got in there before the fans had walked up the hill from the ground.

The point I would make is he's the Chairman of Yorkshire CCC, he needed to show strong leadership and he failed to do so. That strong leadership should have started with firing Gary Balance, but its clear the first steps taken where to try and cover it up and just hope it went away. Yorkshire is an extremely diverse county, much like Lancashire and this will have ramifications for many years to come.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/59172267 The Yorkshire chairman has now resigned, still blaming others as he walks (ECB). I'm sure its no coincidence that hitting them in the pocket (Suspending England matches at Headingley) was the straw that broke the camels backs.......

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/59169535 Its hard to understand what the thinking is in the Headingley corridors of power. Instead of coming out in support of the former player, they’ve closed rank and refused to accept the findings. Well they’re now suspended from hosting England games until they can prove they’re upholding the standards acceptable. What a mess.

Its a very good point booth, we have no idea what these owners will leave us with when they finally sod off. The cost cutting and penny pinching in most areas tells me they'll not be taking any debt with them. The positive we do have is we are Blackburn Rovers, the famous Blackburn Rovers who won the Premiership in 1995, Jack Walker, Alan Shearer, Kenny Dalglish, blue and white halves and in normal times recognised and respected the world over. The football club means something to many people, we just need to stop rot, need to stop the damage being inflicted season after season by absent owners. We will come again, we just need a change of ownership, once that happens the shoots of recovery start. Keep the faith.
