Oh for a Kevin Moran or Colin Hendry !!

Freidel Newton Hendry Hunter Le Saux Duff Kendall Tugay Wagstaffe Shearer Pickering All I have seen on Ewood albeit 3 of them , only once or twice,,,

Slippy G , not doing much better in a 2 horse race !

I think , the chances of Rovers getting into the Play Offs are none existent ..Unless the owners go out and get the right manager in ...Kean ,Berg ,Appleton , Bowyer , Lambert , Coyle and Mowbray ... Worrying ! Bowyer had the best squad of players by a long long way ...

He got sacked !!!!

Not in my book !!

Mowbray got us promoted , if Bowyer was here last season we would treading water in the 3rd division... Mowbray is not perfect but Bowyer should never have got more than end of season after Berg was sacked !!!

Bowyer should have got play offs ....a very poor manager !!

Birmingham have always been dogshit except when Trevor Francis played ... That's a long time ago !

Did much better today , than. I thought we would !! But the same old problems , have not gone away .....

Looking at our defensive frailties , this game as defeat written all over it .... Hope I am proved wrong !!!

It really is bad management..

Not if you know damn well , they won't sign !!! It looks like good but in reality it was 'pie in the sky '...

I was in agreement until today .... WE appear to have the losing habit !

I dont think I have ever witnessed a Rovers manager make 3 subs at once in my life (granted the 3 subs rule has not been in long) To me it proved the manager select the wrong tea m, again !!! Now , I think he is ' losing the plot ' danger is when will our owners realize ? and who will be his replacement ?? The defence is a complete joke , it is non existent , call me old fashioned but defenders are there to stop the opponents scoring ,, Brannagan , Keeley , Fazackerley , Rathbone AS hard as nails all of them !!

I would be pleasantly surprised if we beat Middlesborough... But I think Pulis whose teams like playing against Rovers , will have to much for us , expect an aerial bombardment from the off . Without Lenihan , it is going to very difficult !!!

I must admit that thought crossed my mind earlier , today ... Apart from Allardyces first game ,have we beaten a team managed by Pulis ???

Fair point !!

My thoughts too.....

Raya is young and a very good shot stopper , all keepers make mistakes but he is playing behind a poor defence !!! No Samba or Hendry to head the ball away , it won't be easy cos we give away silly fouls at will ...

Not much between Williams and Bell for me , neither really good enough !

Fundamentally... Mowbray is showing a severe lack of ambition, tactical awareness and blind loyalty to L1 players. We were poor today and much of it is the manager refusing to put our 11 best players on the pitch together in their right position. Is this £3 Tony Mowbray '?? fest' also a Q&A? Hope so.

I agree with the above !

It wasn't easy for Bristol ....It was a dour game with very few chances , won by them with a set piece ...

True to a point but we had just won 4 on the bounce after losing 3.... Bristol have won 6 on bounce but I will be amazed if they make the Play offs ...Cos they are not good enough to keep that form up !!

That's true but Bowyer was the problem !!!! Should have got at least play offs that season..
