I'll get you some boiled sweets if you promise to launch them in his direction every answer swerved. 2 kg should do it.

This type of thing only usually starts when we have a bad run of form.

That's the first thing i thought reading them the can't be arsed attitude shine through. Scripted replies that are just that, replies they aren't answers. This guy needs booting as far up the road as possible before he does anymore damage. I presume these mins are heavily edited because if not what a pointless nodding exercise it comes across as.

So going off that Waggot is looking into several things again and will no doubt still be looking into them by the next meeting. Fans seem more concerned about getting a pint at games than real answers. And nothing in there hasn't already been said previously in the LT etc. Also has the guy who turned up trumpeting about the training ground sell off cried off again already ?

She's learnt from up above, pass the buck to the players.

It was Kean again who started all that rot that lasted years and the worst thing is Mowbray allegedly wanted to keep him !

Smallwood was better than Lowe and look where they are now and have been since they left. Andrews though was Pele compared to these two he was just way out of his depth jumping up to the Prem at 29 or whatever he was. Williamson, Akpan and Lowe my god, nothing against the lads they all put a shift in but should have been nowhere near a club with upper championship aspirations.

Totalitarianism

Counts for sod all though on Saturday. Besides our mon will talk them up so we'll be the miniscule ones.

The proof is in the pudding he's an experienced well rated center half and hes now fit and been played in his position. With the expansive possession football experiment he struggled with shelved for now. It really isn't rocket science is it if only they applied this theory to other positions. As for critics most including me were concerned at what he wasn't doing because he was injured and on a long well paid contract. What he could do if fit and motivated was never really the question. Great signing hes proving so far it's a hark back to signing Moran and the like in terms of anchoring defense. By god does he need some real back up though.

Perception, midset, attitude, ambition, drive and determination that failure isn't an option. Yes you need combine it with realism and pragmatic expectation that says we are unlikely to bother the top 4 but...... All that has been all wrong here since we bounced back, they just settled in and set their stall out for a comfortable plod. An ambitious modest sized outfit or a middle of the road making up the numbers club ? We know which one they've created, to the tune of tens of millions in the process.

Grand scheme of things they aren't miniscule compared to us if you strip everything away we used to be mirror versions pre Prem. Like us there's a limit to how big a fanbase a club like that can have but they've always had a superb hardcore. Now if you don't strip everything away and look at what we've had in the last decade and some of the things we still do you might well cry. They'd give their right arm for most of that but i doubt they'd want this ownership or board anywhere near the place billions or no billions. Like a day out down there so hopefully i'll get to this one, been quite a few times and seen good bad and indifferent in terms of games, scores and followings. Those giving Ewood a miss at present get down here and cheer on these young lions and in the managers words 'lets see where they go'....if he lets them that is. Barnsley 2 Rovers 2

How many has Balaji bought or is he half the walk ons ....

33 quid for Preston at Sheff U last night, a club with parachute money and big gates. When we go to Blackpool, that skint club who've been to the brink, only £23 for a local game. When they come here they'll likely have to pay at least £32. Blackpool are showing the way and we are more Blackpool than Sheffield we can't get away with what they can.

How about the preaching of the possession game he did for two years whilst trying to coach it into the team. Last night was yet again cast iron proof he's wasted two seasons and a good few million on that nonsense. Any accountability ? Nah under the carpet it goes, never happened instead now he's being idolised for turning around from a bad season. The guy is insufferable to be honest but as someone said it's a results business. He's getting them at the min so if we maintain that it could be a surprisingly good season. He's still a very very lucky man to be at this club though allowing his whims and failed experiments. Possibly having his back against the wall might spark a bolder reaction this season.

They still get counted in the crowd figures though. As Mattyblue has said there are next to no walk ons for a game like last night and don't forget Satursday game and the like have been boosted by around a thousand kiddies tickets handed out. It's a dire situation that has been creeping up for years.

When a game comes along on a Saturday that a few more part timers or lapsed fans might fancy then they get charged £32 ? The club has made the rod for its back this season i think so it will take spectacular form or a good uptake in half STs to make much difference.

He isn't scarred by anything it's just the way he works and always has we've been seeing the same pattern for nearly 5 years now. Prefers to play it safe first 45 then maybe pinch something but most of the time his eggs are in the 60-65 min subs basket.

Breo can continue to play crap as long as he keeps scoring and digging out goals of his own like tonight. Rhodes did similar and Armstrong although always a threat with his pace had regular stinkers, still scored though. Main thing with BB is keep him in his best position and keep looking to get him going towards goal.

I think it's too late now to be honest this season so we'll just meander on and hope to shift a few half STs. Something very radical needs to happen in summer though, so many opportunites have been missed particularly after promotion. Those of us who've seen it before have been warning of it ending up like this for years but the wooden bookends in suits always know better don't they !

Thank god for Alan Shearer being so well in at the BBC and still thinking so much of his time here and Rovers in general, what a guy. I think they've been really kind to us in the first two episodes i was expecting worse and i don't remember them being so impressed when we gatecrashed the party back in the day. Imagine if Lineker, Hansen and Lawrenson were in charge of these documentaries, the 3 ponces. Been a great watch and even better they've managed to present it as the fairy tale it was.

The majority of those running it just won't really care that's the real issue. They still get their wages and less hassle running things with less demand. They just look around and think damn the takings will be crap tonight, oh well there'll be a big away following soon. Meanwhile fans and others look around and say how the hell has it come to this again. We've regressed 30 years and its cost 200 million quid to get here but the chickens are truly coming home to roost now. A decade of nonsense and mismanagement and bull shitting managers has resulted in permanent damage now. More is the pity because this young side deserves and needs as much support as possible even if the other characters don't.

Good result in the end after a shockingly bad first half, don't condone booing at half time but not surprising. It was always going to happen this season and if Mowbray has thrown a strop tough shit. His free ride is over so he better get used to it. As for the subs he got it bang on i said Saturday sometimes they work sometimes they don't. That's the life of an average team and manager. The starting line ups and tactics continue to cause us our own problems though. Spirit of the side is still great though they know when they aren't producing and can step it up.

Probably a midweek game to Hull in 90/91 If that crowd figure doesn't set some alarm bells ringing it really should. Another low under this ownership, how many more to come ?

Came in late and couldn't be arsed trekking the 10 miles to Ewood, says it all. Guaranteed to be goals and a good game now. 4-1 Rovers COYB
