It is March 7th , the season is drawing to a close (neither up nor down , whatever some people think )... Yes , we are on a bad run but on Saturday we are playing Preston North End , who have amassed 4 points more than ourselves .. After reading most comments on here anyone would think , we were playing Man City , get a grip !!!!

Possibly

They are not Man City !!! 4 points in front of us and Finney does not play anymore , for god's sake !!!

I saw Tugay but not Ronnie or Duggie for that matter !!

I am surprised more people , haven't selected Howard Kendall , what a suburb footballer !! It could be an age thing !

Why??

Brad Friedel had Samba , Nelsen and Short in front of him who could attack the bloody ball ....

Henning Berg and Graeme Le Saux the greatest fullbacks I ever saw , oh Kevin Moran he is just class, Colin Colin you us your ass , proper defenders..

Remember Johnny Carey at Goodison ...' your taxi is waiting at the gate '

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 !!!
