If the owners actually care then this aspect needs going through with a fine tooth comb. I was told that they'd made a VERY substantial budget available to Mowbray and Waggott in January in addition to the potential bonuses which were publicised. If this is true, why wasn't it utilised when we'll NEVER get a chance as good again? Don't understand what's happening with Dack either. What's the point in keeping him off the front line until any chance of going up is mathematically gone?

Only on board now? Holy crap. His time was up more than three years ago.

If Mowbray is leaving in summer (please god) why on earth should he have any say whatsoever in recruitment for next season? The new guy might not fancy his targets and if past form is anything to go by he'd just end up signing more garbage like Hedges anyway.

Not surprised to see you post the above as you do your best to defend Mowbray at every turn. The other poor managers we've had in the past have had to by and large scrape by on buttons. Mowbray has wasted tens of millions of pounds. Seemingly to no avail.

It is Bryan it's absolutely heartbreaking. I think I'd rather we did our usual being crap all season and finish 15th than do what we've done and end up 11th.

I looked at the scores after 93 mins and assumed we'd won. It doesn't matter if there were eleven or twenty minutes of injury time - you play to the final whistle. At least this probably removes any delusion we can make the play offs. Ten points from twelve games...........after being second. Pound for pound Mowbray is the worst manager we've ever had in my 50 and a bit years of watching the Club for me.

I like the way we're utilising Dack. "Let's make sure the play offs are mathematically out of reach before we hand him a start".

I'll bet he wasn't complaining about the prospect of working a couple of hours away from home when he was out of work on the managerial scrap heap and was offered the job. I mean honestly, he makes it sound like he is doing everyone a massive favour by being here when in reality instead of complaining he should be treating being the manager of Blackburn Rovers as a privilege. Fuck off.

Do you think the squad has been playing for nothing for the last 4 seasons?

And Gallagher.

Not a single mention of trying to retrieve the season and secure a play off place. Still, as long as he's looking forward to his hols with his family............. What an absolute joke, 4 seasons in the Championship, £80 -£90m of the owners money down the pan and half of the first eleven departing for nothing in the summer. Fuck off Mowbray. When you depart we might finally have a chance to move forward forward for the first time in years. Only 7 games to go. Hopefully.

Not sure I've said that anywhere, and I can only assume from the incendiary post above that you would have been happier if we had ended up with a non Cat 1 facility half the size of the one we currently have but carry on.......................

Yes, we'd have been so much better off without Rothwell and if Mowbray and Park had been able to grease even more palms by bringing in another completely out of their depth journeyman like Hedges.

You'd take Robins all day long over Mowbray surely.

I get that no-one should WANT us to lose the next seven games. However the point is that it's highly likely we won't win another game this season under Mowbray if he stays anyway and that our play off hopes already appear excedingly thin. Therefore if you accept that in reality our play off chances have gone, it's only natural that thoughts should turn to next season and beyond and for the long term health of the Club that involves Waggott, Mowbray and Venus being nowhere near it imo. Mowbray should have gone after the Notts Forest home game imo to give us a chance of maintaining a play off push. Then again he should have gone at various points during each of the last three seasons when it was obvious he wasn't up to it. Instead here we are three years on, another seventy million of the owners money down the pan with nothing to show for it and facing going into next season with half the team leaving for nothing in summer.

I find it slightly bizarre that anyone thinks we can still make the play offs and/or is discussing how many points it would theoretically take when we haven't even scored a goal in the last seven away games!

End of any play off hopes if we don't win today I'd have thought.

Yep, Mowbray against IInce, that's a managerial masterclass for the ages. It's like Klopp v Guardiola. In reverse.

Bournemouth winning, Millwall losing.

Players look to have given up, manager looks to have given up. Appalling stuff.

Any line up without Gallagher in is a bonus so at least we'll be starting with eleven men tonight.

I'm sick to death of everything associated with the Club at the moment if I'm being honest. It was obvious we needed to sign a decent striker in January in case of anything happening to BBD. Our glorious leader apparently chose not to do this and consequently we've seen one goal in TWELVE hours of football and have chucked away the best chance of promotion we'll ever have. On top of that our £5m centre forward Gallagher continues to do everything humanly possible to avoid getting into areas from which it might be possible to score a goal and Hedges, blimey. We'd seemingly been chasing him for 2 transfer windows and on evidence to date you could find better down the Pub. Still, on the bright side, at our current rate of progress we can look forward to 1/2 more goals before the end of the season. Wonder when they'll be?

Well, thank god the manager chose not to bring in another striker in January. We might have had to celebrate the odd goal had that happened.

To be fair done better than JRC when filling in in that position.

Yep, started coming for it but stopped then came again leaving himself in no man's land.
