It meant he didn’t get pretty blatant penalties Huddersfield at home and Hull away last season. The boy who cries wolf -

I used to teach Josh Smith. Not the best behaved student and was also the ref when we lost at home to Forest last season -
Season tickets 2022/23
all you need is duff replied to JHRover's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Does anyone know if having the international flexi ticket gives you any season ticket holder advantages such as priority access to important away games or Wembley finals? If not, I’ll probably just buy 4 or 5 games on a game to game basis -
Many players when looking back at their career have a fairly sketchy memory of games they played but Orr was very flexible with the truth. The Givet Swansea game wasn’t 1-0, it was 3-0. Remember as well that Givet denied refusing to play when it was reported at the time. https://amp.theguardian.com/football/2012/apr/18/blackburn-gael-givet-refuse-play The Crystal Palace game under Berg was 2-0, not 5-1 as Orr said. We also weren’t top of the league at the time as he claimed we were. Orr also made out that we had just been on an eight game unbeaten run before that Peterborough game. The Shebby stuff is terrible to hear but my opinion of Orr and Kean didn’t really go up whilst listening to the podcast

Championship 21/22

Would probably need a decent goal difference swing as well. I could see both Sheffield United and Luton ending up on 72 points -
Last weekend I met a few mates who support premier league teams (Liverpool, Wolves and Leeds). They don’t pay much attention to the championship but whenever they have glanced at the table they have seen Rovers in the top 6 so were surprised at how much I wanted Mowbray gone. I reckon there’ll be a lot of that amongst fans of other clubs and the media next season if he does go and we start poorly. “Blackburn fans will now be wishing they kept Mowbray”

PLAYER WATCH v Peterborough (A)

Cheers for this. The lack of Dack stats confirm what many of us are seeing. He isn’t making loads of mistakes but the games are mainly passing him by -

I think the “like for like” made him sign Hedges and Giles instead of a striker as he wanted “wide forwards”, not centre forwards. He ended up just signing non scoring wingers. The wide forwards thing only looks like working when Brereton is one of them. -

The big difference for me in the second half of the season is the midfield. Travis, Rothwell and Buckley were an excellent midfield trio before Christmas. Travis has probably gone from the weakest link in that trio to the strongest as the team’s form has dipped. Rothwell has been less dominant since January and Buckley is struggling to have the same impact and although Mowbray and analysts will tell us he was a false 9 when we were on a winning streak, my perception is that his average position was deeper than it has been since January. First half today the defence had to go direct because a central midfielder was not giving a viable alternative. Buckley and Rothwell’s decline has also led to us not pressing as effectively -

Yes but although Mowbray shouldn’t have lasted as long as he has, he lasted longer than all those managers because he was doing a better job then they did -

I don’t want to come across as sticking up for Mowbray but why did you continue to go under Kean and Coyle but not now? -
v Peterborough Utd (a) - 15/4/22

Yes. I’ve only been following the team since 1992 but Harford, Kidd, Ince, Kean, Appleton, Coyle were all definitely worse. Mowbray does however need to go. Remember January/February time when he was linked with the vacant Ipswich and WBA jobs? I don’t know how serious the links were but how perfect would it have been for them to have paid us a little compensation back then and us to have been forced to get a new manager in for the last 3/4 months who couldn’t have done any worse? -

There were quite a few occasions where both Diaz and Dack were looking along the line and screaming for the ball as if they didn’t understand they were offside -

That’s my whole point though. If he is such a standout performer, I don’t want him suspended for Millwall and Bristol City -

I think we need to rest Travis against Fulham. One yellow card away from a two match ban and I would say he’s highly likely to pick up a booking against that Fulham midfield -
January Transfer window 2022
all you need is duff replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Am I the only one who thinks there is something not quite right about this Markanday injury? Feel like he was never going to be ready until next season but we wanted to make a big deal out of giving him his debut and have then made up an injury. Maybe I’m still stuck in the Kean days mentally -

I thought Dolan and Gallagher both weren’t great second half and was calling for Butterworth or Khedra to come on for one of them with 20mins to go. -
Summer transfer window 2021.

I’d rather have Rothwell putting himself in the shop window all season to leave on a free at the end of the season than sell him on the cheap. -
Rovers v Barnsley. Sat 28 Nov 3pm
all you need is duff replied to darrenrover's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I don’t want to turn this into a Brereton thread but he really did in my opinion show very little potential in his first 2 years here. I would have bitten a team’s hand off if they offered £1million for him in the summer. I am flabbergasted and delighted with how well he’s playing this season despite him not being that influential today. I always had more time for Gallagher because he was a good player in a poor team under Coyle. -
