How about we go to the well a second time and give Duff a look...bring in Martin O'Neil as DOF...in all seriousness, article is worth a read and it sounds like he is going to make a serious go at it.

he wasn't going to blow the whistle until they got their equalizer!

I would just like two questions answered by the current regime...

Did the owners sanction more funds to be spent in January than we actually spent.

Is is true that Aynsley Pears is currently on more per week than what we have offered Nyambe,

Because our owners dont give a flying fuck about the club, as has been proven right throughout their time owning us.

He isnt as bad as Coyle or indeed Kean either. We are going backwards, he has long since overstayed his welcome, but he isnt as bad as those 2 and will have to do a lot to get to that stage.

He is easily worse than Coyle and Kean...I dont remember either involved in a development scheme which would kill our academy.. Or winning one in 14..

We have a flag with this man's face on it as if he's a Rovers legend! The Coventry three are taking the piss and are worse than Kean and his lot...prove me wrong!

Corry Evans is league one player...as is Bell and Barry Douglas at this point...Our second choice GK Pears is league 2 at best and on a 4 year contract...we have no true wing players so why should Chapman be discarded....not the player it's the manager...Coventry 3 OUT!

Premier league Champions!!! Feck off if you think this is where Rovers should be!...Sack him!

Much more of a name in football than GB, with a decent track record at this level - honestly think a few of you aren’t picking up that he definitely has resurrected his standing in the game.

As I said, is he really worse than Garry Monk who has managed half the league? 

How has he resurrected his standing in the game...his one successful stint with West Brom was 11 years ago...after that he did nothing at Middlesbrough, was a complete and utter failure at Celtic and then ran Coventry into the ground...was put in charge and couldn't keep us from being relegated and then was second in a weak league 1....done nothing since even with a transfer budget most Championship manager couldn't dream of...if he had honor he would walk as he's stealing his wages

Douglas reminds me of Mickey Gray in his last days here, but worse

Evans should have been given away long ago...just as bad of a contract extension as Mulgrew's...should never be included again....four year contract for Pears seems criminal...could not that money been spent on our out of contract players (Nyambe)....why was Pears signed?? Please look at Mowbray's last days at Celtic...too much talent for these results. Mowbray and Waggot OUT

Trybull should be playing the Tugay role...Evans shouldnt see the side again

Well would he play under Mowbray? Probably not

Nyambe going forward isn't going enough going forward. You want your full back provide assists each season? 

His crossing is woeful and final ball not good enough. Alot of work to do for us plus in his final year of his contract

Runs the length of the pitch but no end product? 

You spread straight propaganda on Nyambe...for such a "superfan" i guess youve never noticed that when allowed he has skinned many a lb only to see his crosses unanswered in the box.....but jeep spouting the company line...

Ashley Ward the definition of donkey and permanent sicknote Vincenza Grella for me

Mowbray needs to give brad lyons a chance at CM...fresh legs and not afraid of a tackle

chaddy you're spouting pure rubbish concerning Nyambe's ability to push forward...seen countless tines he skinned the opposing LB only to see his crosses go wanting cause we have no forwards in the middle...seems you playing the mowbray game of downgrading the lad cause you know he's off...

Someone posted earlier that Mowbray's first job here was promotion from league one...was he not brought in to keep us up, of which he failed...the revisionist history continues...he's just not good enough 

Against Bristol City he put in at least five quality crosses,,,was taking men on and ran their left back ragged and then against Wigan he barely exits our own half...it must be coaching

does no one remember what he did at Celtic and Coventry?? Him and his mates are stealing money and our owners are too thick to see it. He wouldn't have survived at any other club and he is aided by a subservient media...Where are the hard questions both to him and the owners??

Pathetic and spineless, only bettered by the shit show against Barnsley.

The only saving grace is that Cardiff won, meaning the season was over regardless of this result. 
 

Too many passengers and L1 players. Nobody can tell me that Bennett or Samuel are anything but L1 fodder. How can our manager get away with starting them. Downing as a false 9? Gallagher player right wing back. 
Downing and Johnson - shameful waste of wages, not sustainable for a club like ours.

Travis - worst I’ve seen him for a while, which was disappointing. 
 

Rothwell made a difference when he came on, Holtby did pretty much nothing. Thought Rankin Costello was okay in the attacking form, a bit out of position at times defensively. 
 

Tony needs to walk (isn’t going to happen). Johnson to take over and a huge rebuilt needed if we actually have any ambition (I don’t think we do).

If we somehow keep Nyambe, Lenihan, Dack, Armstrong and Travis then we need to replace almost every other position with a first teamer

Bennett, Smallwood, Mulgrew, Johnson, Downing, Samuel all need to go (majority are our highest earners)! As well as others. 

I’m so deflated and not even remotely looking forward to next season. We all want what’s best for Rovers on this board, I’m sure we’re all in the dumps. Let’s just hope for some positive changes. 

Post of the season! and unfortunately mirrors my feelings

not sure if he still has the legs...but could use some Mulgrew free kick/ corner kick magic...

criminal goalkeeping

What a soft soft GK Walton is...

Maybe if Evans would occasionally stick a foot in and break up the play in front of him Mulgrew wouldnt have been put in positions to be exposed...even better if Smallwood had a litle pace and wasnt chasing shadows...easy to blame Mulgrew when the two main men in front of him are substandard.

Looks like a proper defender. Can head and likes a tackle

 

Been a long time since we've had any players who like to put a tackle in..been too soft for too long...miss the days when Rovers were known for physical play...sign him up!
