Yep, should have claimed the cross for the second as well. Maybe his mind is elsewhere.

Just watched it back. No -one's touched him.

Other than Armstrong's goalscoring form, Brereton and Wharton have probably been the main two positives this season. Dolan might have been as well had Mowbray not discarded him.

No need to apologise, I have similar feelings to your original post and haven't suffered the recent misfortune you have. Hope things pick up for you quickly.

Just seen the goal on Soccer Saturday. Garbage from Kaminsky. Obviously light years ahead of the useless Walton but still massively over-rated in my book. He's all right, nothing more.

Anyone paid for this? Updates would be appreciated!

Spot on.

Good point, Mowbray said it himself.

Not too much of a problem with the starting line up, I'm actually quite intrigued to see how Buckley/Travis/Davenport get on. But why the hell are Douglas, Bennett, Evans, Johnson, Downing and Elliott on the bench. Should be giving the youngsters the experience over people who either definitely won't be here or definitely shouldn't be here next season.

..........and that's where it begins and ends unfortunately for us!

You might be right but hypothetically were it to happen the conversation would go something like this: Balaji: "So Danny £1m p.a. plus a healthy bonus in the event of promotion to the Premier League". Cowley: "Done, what a dream job for me, Blackburn Rovers fantastic history, Premier League facilities, Cat 1 Academy etc etc"

Alex or Darren?

Could well be a Club plant but even a Club plant would have some nerve posting that load of garbage about having no ambition beyond survival. You'd expect a Club plant to post that the aim was success and pretend that (against all the evidence) Mowbray was still the man to deliver it. No point in the doors being open if the aim isn't to be successful. And whether this post is from a Club plant or a fan of another Club on the wind up the fact that these sort of people have to ignore and can't get round is that we have multi billionaire owners who underpin a reasonable budget which should be enough to make us competitive under a better management team. If there is a massive shortfall in income due to Covid the underperforming incumbents can just trot off to the owners to make up the shortfall or if they mess up in the transfer market for the umpteenth time they can just ask for more money to bring in another couple of loanees to cover their mistakes. How many other Clubs have that luxury?

Exactly, that's what the manager of our Club should be doing - talking Blackburn Rovers up.

££££££.

More pertinently, it doesn't sound from that as though Cowley would be crawling over broken glass to come here as manager if Mowbray were to be replaced.

Getting his excuses in already saying how difficult negotiations are. He really is pathetic. Let's hope the fact he appears to have been snubbed by the owners is a clear sign he'll be off after tomorrow's game.

More absolute nonsense being lapped up without so much as a murmur of dissent by the local media. Wasn't having a go at you chaddy, I know you were only relaying the story

A proper CEO would put an end to all this sort of nonsense. Downing was a terrible signing second time around so annexing him to the coaching staff just sounds like a desperate attempt to justify the expenditure on bringing him in.

On Holtby, not really bothered either way whether he stays or goes. When we were playing well at the start of the season I thought he was the key to it all but since that initial phenomenal burst he's been very inconsistent. There's a lot more players than him we need to see the back off first though, Bennett, Evans and Johnson being the most obvious three who spring to mind.

What, why? Why on earth should Downing get a cushy job courtesy of the Club when he retires? What can he possibly add to the mix working under Barr if Barr is still here? It was ludicrous that Downing received a second playing contract in the first place to sit there doing nothing. This is an even more ludicrous notion and yet more evidence if any were needed that the Coventrio need disbanding asap.

Even in the midst of the couple of wins, we've been beaten by Sheff Wed. and failed to beat Rotherham. That should indicate the sort of level we'll be at were he to stay.

One game to go. Hopefully............ The alternative is barely worth contemplating.

It would have made a lot more sense to recall Magloire and/or Carter early and see how they looked wouldn't it?

Time will tell in that respect I suppose. As I understand it some of darrenrover's team have contacts and their ear to the ground in India in relation to their own work and for that reason they are currently proceeding on the assumption that the owners are acting in good faith as regards BRFC. I can't see any automatic reason why, just because dialogue has not occurred in the past for whatever reason, it can not take place in future.
