Absolutely. I think I've seen him touted as a potential replacement for Graham. He has a mountain to climb to achieve his level of professionalism, game intelligence and finishing ability. Obviously he doesn't have Graham's experience but crucially, on what I've seen of him, Nuttall doesn't have his ability either.

Watford fan at work thought he was permanently banned from football or in jail.

BRFCS goes bi polar again. A few weeks ago we were heading for oblivion with a man at the helm who is a cross between Nigel Farage and Jeremy Corbyn.* Three wins later, two against mediocre opposition, and we're heading for the sunlit uplands of a promising 2019/20. ? (*I called for him to go- Mowbray not Corbyn )

Try not to critique people's personalities when faced with a legitimate question. You're one of the main contributors on here and your content is 90% negativity towards the manager. Some of it, in my opinion is unfounded ("finishing in the bottom half year after year"?) so I think it's reasonable to ask why. For what it's worth, I have lost faith in him and think we can do better but suggesting that he's at the club purely to feather his nest has no basis in fact and being asked why you posted that seem fairly reasonable.

That's sort of encouraging. I remember the Academy being criticised a few years back for producing athletes instead of footballers. Is that the case with this current crop?

I reckon their keeper Matthews might be worth a look though.

A few weeks ago we engaged on the subject of TM and I asked why you were so down on him. To paraphrase you said something to the effect that you liked him but you didn't buy his "open, honest" reputation and that you believed that he'd say what was necessary to placate the fans and the owners. How have you gone from that to this which seems to suggest that, at best, he's underhand and at worst he's corrupt? By the way you did great work on finding his quote on leaving Coventry and I admit that it shook my confidence in him.

I'll bow to your superior knowledge on that. I'm not aware of any suggestion that he'll move on (unless someone can illuminate me on that as well!) although I'd be surprised if clubs higher up the food chain aren't casting envious eyes in his direction. If such a club comes in then I'm not sure how much we'd be able to do about that. Maybe we should enjoy his work while he's here.

I think many of us would be gutted if he leaves but there's no suggestion of that as far as I'm aware and he hasn't been back at the club that long.

Is Buckley ready for some more first team action do you reckon?

If Bauer is decent and available on a free then I'd imagine that it's far from a forgone conclusion that he's joining Rovers. If there's no competition for his signature then that would concern me.

Probably lessons in that incident for two relatively young players. Lenihan, who seems like a natural leader, should perhaps curb his frustration and dish out the bollockings in the dressing room. The lessons for Raya are more obvious and urgent.

I get where you're coming from and I liked his passion and frustration. Raya should take responsibility for his error and his recent poor form but if, as has been suggested, his confidence is fragile shouldn't Lenihan have been a bit more circumspect?

Another pathetic hissy fit. Grow up.

I'm not sure where you got that from but I've never said that at all. When we've been in good run of form most people on here are fairly sanguine without getting carried away (with one or two eye rolling exceptions). We've been terrible this calendar year and I've posted on here that the managers position had become untenable. I just haven't said it about 500 times.

So if we're poor it's Mowbray's fault and if we're ok it's in spite of him?

It was two to be fair one of which was from somebody who has a bit of a hissy fit if I quote him.

I said that there was a negative reaction which there was. There was no suggestion of a number of posts or "succession". I'm not sure how you reached that conclusion? I'd be guardedly optimistic if both or either player were to sign. I'd at least hold the opprobrium for a few weeks.

We're being linked with a couple of tall central defenders which I'm under the impression that we really need (certainly the goals against column suggests so). Granted, it's early days and said Centre Backs aren't Van Dijk pedigree but still, why the negative reaction to this speculation? After the cool breeze of the dynamic young England side I suppose it's back to the fetid, dreich misery of this place.

I thought the penalty and scoreline were harsh but what a joy to watch this England team is for an exile. Two teenagers pivotal in the 5th goal too. I haven't been this enthused about an England side since The Aussies got gubbed in the 2010/11 Ashes series.

I've only seen Dack over Christmas and New Year of this season and wasn't overly impressed. Obviously, that's a very small window on his Ewood career and regulars tell me he's special. There was talk of a fee north of 20m if he went which seemed very optimistic. Is that sort of fee (or a fee that might fund a rebuild) still seen as being realistic?

I'm really sorry about the way things have gone. For me Tony Mowbray has been such a force for good at the club but our form since December (excluding a brief pick up) has been as alarming as it is unacceptable. Our defensive frailty and TM's seeming inability to address it makes me very concerned about next season. I don't want the players getting off scot free though. So many platitudes about what a great coach and guy the boss is but those platitudes evaporate once some of them cross the touchline. If they are even vaguely aware of our owners previous they'll know that they are unpredictable and liable to pull the trigger on Mowbray at the next concession of 3/4/5 away goals. If TM survives to the start of next term and we get an iffy start it's doubtful he'll survive the October sacking season. What the **** do we do then?

Last time I was home was in January so I'm a bit behind UK tv. Is 'Dinner Date' still on?

It's a terrible user name but one I'm stuck with. Deryck Guyler was a comic actor from 60s and 70s sitcoms. I once had a drunken disagreement with someone as to whether or not he was also an accomplished spoon player. Apparently he wasn't. Not the first or last time I was to be proved wrong.
