Mowbray on Rovers job security "That's the journey I keep talking about and the one I hope we can take Blackburn Rovers on. If people don't want that, that's OK. I'm just a football coach. I'm an employee of the club. I am a vision and an identity of where want to go. If the club decides that somebody else is going to have that journey then that's fine. At this moment, we're doing our very, very best to try and win football matches. Nobody sits there and thinks we don't want to win the next match - we want to win every game. And yet the reality is that is really difficult in this league." Tony Mowbray on the impact of Blackburn Rovers performances, intensity issues and job security - LancsLive

And I am asking you to enlighten the board how you know this? Also who is part of this team?

Players like Rothwell for example hasn't constantly enough here apart from one period of games in his 1st season here. Wish it was different story for him. Has Dack performed well enough since he returned from his injury to warrant your comment of being our best player considering Armstrong's form since Dack got injured and Kaminski's form since he joined here.

Do we know this?

Who patronising you? No one is so.stop with the amateur dramatics again Is that it? So base on that he keeps his place? What did he produced second half?. If he performances deserve him to and his starts dont. His best performances has been as a sub like Birmingham and Boro games. Well Brereton was out injury for a period of time so should we persist with him like Dack to get his pre injury form back. Dolan hasnt started games when he should. Like he would start tomorrow night. Not this season..you basing all that on over 12 months ago. Pre his serious injury. Not basing it on this season performances

more patience? we trying to win games. He was our best player pre injury but not currently Its nonsense that you defend Dack at every opportunity and expecting him to the same player he was pre injury Ease him back into games from the bench where his best performances have come from so far. Not from starting games. Watch the game back. Dack did nothing of much. Armstrong provided the spark and Douglas was our next best player after him. Dack should have been sub during that game and was kept on by Mowbray hoping he produce some pre injury Dack magic. He didnt I really HOPE we can get Dack back to pre injury Dack levels but I aint expecting this to happen anytime this season. We invested in Dack by giving him a new contract.

I think he is against certain teams when we will have all the possession like Wycombe at all. But I'm not convince by Nyambe and I think we need a new right back this summer. We should have got Jack Hunt in when we the chance under Bowyer

Yes there is but he is more suited to wing back role then a right wing role in my opinion

Personally I thought we carried him against Preston too much. Yes he needs game time but if he needs to be sub then he should be. Armstrong and Douglas were our best players on Friday and its was Armstrong who looked more likely to do something on Friday night. Both of the bench werent they? all Pre injury tho. Is he our best player now? I would suggest not. Brereton is returning from injury himself and needs game time just like Dack. Pre injury he was performing very well with Armstrong Dolan is right winger for us and his best performances have come from there. His form has drop cos he is 17 years old and this is first taste of playing regular 1st team football at this level. Were your not expecting a dip in form at least? This is the reason I have dampen my optimism of Dack ever return the old Dack this season cos how serious his injury and not expecting much from him this season.

why not? He played it regular for the under 23's and if we were to play with 3 at the back and wing backs he would be ideally suited to the right wing back role.

I'm delighted that we have extended the contracts of Buckley and Dolan this week. But this 2 players in 2 days that we have announce new contracts for. Hopefully a couple more contracts announcements this That's the big player we need to sign a new contract

Another player new deal.

Dack starts if his performance warrant it and for me, he is miles away from his best. We need to winning games now if we going to make top 6 not playing Dack to gain his fitness. Elliott would play in the hole behind Armstrong cos I want Dolan pace in the team and him to force Their Barnsley wing back Styles back into the full back area as much as possible

who the replacement for Rankin Costello? Nyambe can't play wing back role. My point was if Rankin Costello and Wharton were fit they would both be starting for me. Playing Wharton on the left of back 3 gives the back a balance which doesn't happen when a right footed played there

Wharton and Rankin-Costello would have regularly in the team if they didnt get injury in my opinion There is nothing wrong with trying a different formation when we aren't performing and not scoring enough. plus I want to give Armstrong a partner up front.

And your point is?.

I would line up Kaminski Nyambe Lenihan Harwood-Bellis Douglas Travis Davenport Dolan Elliott Brereton Armstrong If we had Wharton and JRC fit I would go 3 at the back in 3-5-2 and line up like this Kaminski Harwood-Bellis Lenihan Wharton Rankin-Costello Travis Davenport Douglas Elliott Gallagher Armstrong

Moeen Ali will fly home and miss the 3rd test. Bess, Archer,.Crawley, Bairstow and Wood returned to the squad for the 3rd test on 24th February which is day/night test match.

Three players that Rovers have been determined to protect has been Joe Rothwell, Ryan Nyambe and Joe Rankin-Costello, with all three of their contracts expiring in June. Rovers hold a 12-month option in Rothwell and Nyambe's contracts, with the agent of the latter suggesting that the extension clause is likely to be triggered as negotiations foil at this stage. https://www.lancs.live/sport/football/football-news/blackburn-rovers-contracts-update-buckley-19847024.amp?__twitter_impression=true

No there isnt. Guess it will be in the coming days. Will ask him

Not seen that article. Crooke will asked Waggott about the retirement stories in his up coming conversation with him? Who cares? No one at Ewood would leak him that sort of story imo. I think its Mrs D and Mr D who make the decisions on the financial side. I don't see Venkys getting involved in changes with under 23's and 18's staff. wasn't the funding for the pitch already authorised before the Preston game?

I think he should play in centre midfield with Travis and rotate him with Davenport depending on who we are playing

but that isn't a loan for him to develop his game is it. I would start to use Buckley now in the team now Douglas came here to play and possible earn a contract here

He is 21 years old now. Do you not think his time on loan has gone?
