my views on the game, 1st half we were excellent and played so well that Neil had to change it. We started 4-1-4-1 formation with Evans sat infront of back 4 with Armstrong right Rothwell left and Dack and Bennett in centre. Bennett was pick in there to stop Gallagher playing and he did so well Neil withdraw him. and change the players around in the same formation. 1st half we were at it and defend brilliant and so confidently. Gallagher took his goals well and played so really. At Half time was impressed and thought this was the turning point, how wrong was here. I knew at half time we need to get that 3rd goal to win the game. # Second Half we gifted them a goal by a mistake by Walton. He should have catch the ball and be sure it was his. Not gift them a chance. After they scored we need to change it tactical and personal. Mowbray did neither and it costed us big time. It was a pen but felt several decisions by the ref was soft for them. Pearson is such a cry baby for supposedly a hard man. We didn't get the 50/50 off the ref. After it went 3-2 I know we were never coming back. The Graham sub was pointless and Rothwell should have gone off earlier to bring on Downing. The centre backs were bullied by Stockley and someone like Craig Short would have sorted him out. We lack a proper leader at the back and its costly us badly now. Mowbray was very quiet and I noticed never stood in the touchline like usual. Maybe he knows its done for him. I don't know. I feel that it didn't have to be this way if he made the signings we needed in the keeper and defence areas. We all know what we needed in the summer and failure to deliver what we needed should cost him his job. I love Mowbray for the job he has done but its feels like he took us as far as he can. very sad day for me. None of Rovers coaching staff stood up really during the game which is really odd. Just like not bring on Travis which we need during the second half

Walking back to car park now in a very angry and annoyed mood. First half was brillant but as soon they scored we werent good enough. Mowbray has to go. He didnt anything. Didnt even come over to the fans after the game. I do a full report when home. ?

The Lonsdale Social club is where Rovers fans can go and park for free. Hot/cold food is available plus drinks. Just off Fulwood Hall Lane

He been working at football clubs for the last 15 years. Charlton, Coventry, Gillingham, Southend and us So if Waggott does leave who appoint the new manager/head coach.and how long do we wait for a new CEO? 6 months.

If we did go the foriegn route we would need a sporting director. Not sure Waggott has the knowledge of overseas head coaches. If Mowbray goes, Johnson will get the job imo which I would be happy with but he needs sporting director above him imo

The team I think Mowbray will pick today Walton Nyambe Tosin Williams Bell Travis Evans Bennett Dack Rothwell Graham

Sadly I not blackburn rovers owner

Me and you both agree on the sporting director/head coach structure. No I dont. His summer recruitment was poor and not the type of signings we need this season. We didnt need to spend 5 mil on another striker when we needed a top class centre defender and experience keeper. Plus 2 full backs. Only 1 of those 4 signings were signed. Massive mistake by Mowbray

We dont know what Venkys think tbh. They will have ppl checking these forums telling them what fans think. Waggott cant sack Mowbray without owners permission Spoke to 5 Rovers fans today who all want him gone.

Depends on whether fans turn on him for me. Depends on tomorrow performance

If Hughton turned down Stoke and Sheffield Wednesday then would he come here? Hasn't Lee Bowyer just signed a new contract? isn't Javi Garcia more used to being head coach and working with sporting director? Cant see Hughes coming back into management as his trusted backroom team have jobs and promotions in some ways

would you look towards a foreign appointment? surely we would need to move to Sporting Director/head coach structure I mention someone like Carvalhl as a possible candidate,

we need an leader in centre defender. Its a shame we never move for Jansson or Hector. Massive own goal by Mowbray. Just like an experience keeper one. I like Walton and think on the all he been very decent but a young number 1 keeper wasn't what we need. Mowbray wanted Darlow but his wages were too much as Waggott told the fans forum at the time. Then sign a young keeper as number 2. Then we need a right back and left back. We signed Cunningham but not a right back. We didn't need to spend 5 mil for another striker and with Mowbray and number 2 being defenders you would think they would be strong defensively

Key words like to challenge for Right wing slot. Centre mid possibly. Unsure to be honest. Like to see Armstrong more up front anyway

I agree he doesnt need a season in the under 23's. Like to see him challenge Armstrong/Rankin Costello for right wing slot

We need an experience centre back in. Plus a left back

Well they have told the messageboard time after time the problems with Chapman. You judge players on the overall performance not just on 2 stats. We can all look good and interest for 20 seconds.. Why dont you go sometime?

We played very well against Forest but simply not good enough since then. Tuesday performance was shocking poor. Worst performance since Kean/Berg days

Well maybe you should have attend them then. Joe isnt the only one, but other people on here. Ive attend a couple of games and cant attend with their views. One assist in one game doesnt mean he had a good game and played well. You should judge over a season

Wasnt Lowe director of youth coaching under Coyle?

Wasn't it Paul Senior who promote and Mowbray worked with them until he got Venus in that summer

Even when Rothwell has come on he hasnt been good enough. Downing has been better on the left side. Thats Rothwell position for me in 4-2-3-1. If we played different formation like 4-3-3 then I would centre mid with Travis and sitting midfielder. Well if you look at his game, he is better at commanding his area, coming for crosses. Look at his saves on Tuesday. He saved us from heavy defeat. His kicking isnt the best but hes young. Thats why I would prefer a more experience keeper like the forest keeper.

Downing has perform on the left more than Rothwell so far.. Armstrong move up front not wide Thats a fair point tbh. Totally agree on both points.

I would like to see Rothwell in centre mid in 4-3-3 formation but we never due to having Dack in the 10 role. Rothwell hasnt look at races all season. A great shame tbh. Walton has been good overall..yes made mistakes but better than Raya for me. But I want an experience keeper. Gave you loads of names during summer roversfan99. Rothwell hasnt performed all season.

He has to perform whenever he on the pitch. He hasnt. I dont want excuses Roversfan99 but performances. Make it happen. Yes I was expecting alot better from him but he hasnt been no where near good enough. Thats why Costello is in. Evans is playing defensive midfield role to allow Travis to get forward and be box to box. For Me, Walton isnt the problem or a joke. I think he has been positive so far. Yes we all wanted an experience keeper but we didnt get who we wanted.
