kick off time won't be 3pm @Stuart the EFL will make an announcement in due course. I would expect games will be move to 12pm kick offs time on Saturday

Exactly. We didn't need to spend 12 million pounds on players but spend on players who will improve the overall quality of the squad like left back and centre back. When we got promote he should have sign a quality centre back(Ezri Konsa) and left side midfielder(Ben Osborn) plus a back up striker(Matt Smith) for money we paid for Brereton. He still hasn't sorted the defensive issues we had. Mowbray has had enough money to spend to sort out the defensive issues during his time here. For a Centre back in his playing career he cant organise a defence. Same as Venus for defender. Shocking

We deserved a point at least. We have chances and hit the woodwork 3 times and I am pleased that Armstrong scored 2 goals but we conceded 2 soft goals still. Mowbray has had 3 years at this level to sort out the defence and he hasn't. Yes Kaminski is at fault for the second goal somewhat but he still had plenty to do. Anyway its a point. This squad can't play the way Mowbray wants them to do cos they aren't that sort of players to play that style. But cos Mowbray is far too stubborn to admit this and adapt his playing style to suit the players. Looks how the under 23's play and I would imagine this is how he wants the first team to play. I think/really hope the owners has decide his future already and we are seeking to find a replacement. Plenty of good choices out there, The target was set by Mowbray and his comment that this squad is top 6 quality. He cant change what he has said. You are correct. This result doesn't change that this season target was top 6/promotion and he has falling way short of that and this is has simply not been good enough. Andy Bayes on Radio Lancs mention to Kevin Gallagher about our possession stats and Gallagher commented most of that isn't in the right areas where it will hurt the opposition. Its the final third where dominating the ball will hurt teams

@Merrcer and @oldjamfan1 have you heard anymore on Mowbray or Waggott future at Rovers?

Buckley should be starting in place of Johnson. Cant believe he's not on the bench either. Typically Mowbray at work

Yes they was which would be close to where he lives now

Out of contract this season. I dont him staying here. Think he move to club near his home

Billy Barr is doing a very good job with them

Does it matter really? You asked the same question every year/season..

Says here on the 5th March communication to the owners go through Suhail Pasha https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/19138838.mowbray-maintains-player-belief-amid-rovers-poor-run/

That's their way they do it. I dont think Mowbray should have a direct line the owners. Everything should go Pasha and good CEO(not Waggott) The last 4 managers have come from that Agency. Mowbray has done well but this season is unacceptable, Bowyer did a fairly good job but couldnt take us further, Lambert not here long enough as I think he would have got us top 6, Coyle was disaster. I hope they dont use any agency but appoint the best candidate whether it British manager like Wilder, Hughes, Neil, Ainsworth for example or we go foriegn head coach like Rosler or Ivic for example with Sporting director in place.

Cos this lack of communication between the owners and manager happened twice before with Bowyer and Lambert. Mowbray admitted this about a month I think that he doesnt have direct contact with the owners anymore and deals with Pasha now. The last 4 managers have come from that agency. No reason to think it wont again. He has felt the pressure for weeks now. Probably since that Reading game. His comments are directly towards the owners and not the fans cos of the lack of direct contact. He has felt the pressure the media and some question over his future. Its one win in 14 games which is unacceptable. He said he had built a top 6 quality team this season. his words. We are 17th in the league which is unacceptable totally. Of course he is under pressure from them after they backed his slow plan and backed him financially in terms of transfer fees and wages. Do you think they bankrolled it to finish 17th in the league? If you think he will be here next season fine BUT others don't including myself. I know your view already so why keep posting it?

Yes excellent news Rev. Thankyou for writing the letter aswell which I signed. I hope you still send it in to Waggott. The trio should be sack immediate. Even proposing this idea was wrong and embarrassing for the club. I'm pleased that fans and residents told the club how we felt. I think its the owners who have played a part by rejecting the proposals cos we would lose the Academy status of Cat 1 and they have invested all the time in making sure we keep this every season and we meet all the criteria. Plus Pasha is here which has causes problems for the trio. Also they have upset the Brockhall residents massively plus alot of the fans Mowbray wanted to move the senior team down to the academy site full time despite the Senior training centre being state of the art facility for ages. I think he is obsess with people watching training from their houses and he believe training should be out of sight of people.

I've seen clips of him but not enough live games to form an opinion

Think the decision to sack him has been made but cos we used HSH agency if they dont have a suitable candidate might be why hes not gone yet.

I agree he is under pressure for weeks..around the game against Reading game his comments make it sound a man under pressure. Then recently.its like he been trying to talk the owners through the media cos he no longer has direct contact with the owners as everything has to go through Pasha now.

Can you explain where you are excited by this player? I seen the work Andy Watson did last summer. Looking forward to the same detail scouting reporting as last summer as this summer

Which is?

Can you explain why him?

Mowbray admitted a few weeks ago he doesn't speak direct to the owners but just to Pasha Is this a sign he has lost the owners trust? He is under huge pressure IMO. His comments for weeks have back this point up in my opinion

Mercer, please keep posting your info. No need to leave the messageboard.. Owners need to be results driven based. Performance can be good but doesnt get any points on the board. Results do. Mowbray a manager job is to get results. Simple as. He is getting more and delude every day..😡

I would be given him more than short term contract. 2 years contract minimum Ayala should have never been signed. Johnson and Evans should be let go in the summer

So why is he still there Mercer given your info?

Would you take Rosler as Mowbray's replacement?.
