What can you say? Just more of the same old dross we served up last season. The only slight surprise for me was we stunk the place out and lost, I expected us to stink the place out and just about scrape a draw. Absolute garbage. Unfortunately I can't see it getting any better until Mowbray goes, so we could be in for a long wait. As I've been saying all pre season I'd snap anyone's hand off for 21st now. As for the game itself, yes we conceded two soft goals but that's not surprising as we were playing the same personnel who were shipping soft goals last season. Bennett is beyond a joke He's done the square root of eff all ever since he's been at the Club but whereas he used to be merely completely anonymous on the right wing he's now a complete liability at RB. Can't share the enthusiasm about the new signings. Thought Johnsonl looked unfit and played well within himself, Downing contributed little and Gallagher ran all over the place but had a stinker I thought. £5m spanked away there. Dack poor again, apart from one quality through ball in the second half. He's looking dispirited with the whole shooting match. Keeper looked shaky. Maybe a good job he's only on loan. Tosin, Nyambe, Rothwell Chapman and Brereton need to come into the line up but probably won't. Incredibly long season ahead.

Very disappointed with Johnson, looks overweight and not prepared to extend himself. Downing not much better, look like a couple of over the hill plodders. Gallagher is the same as I remembered. Very willing and will run all day but zero quality..
-
Bennett loses the ball for the umpteenth time and they go on to score a soft goal. Who'd have thought it. Meanwhile 45 mins gone and still waiting for a shot on target I blame Raya.

There's still 6 days......

Don't understand Mowbray's reservations about Rothwell defensively. He's the only player we've got who can travel at pace with the ball. He can get it when we're under pressure, turn on the burners and all of a sudden we've turned defence into attack.
-
Sadly predictable but I feared it could be even worse, I thought Graham might start up front and that Evans might get the nod in midfield over Travis. It's an absolute disgrace Bennett starts week in week out over Nyambe and Rothwell should also obviously be starting. I would also have given Brereton the nod up front after his form pre season. But let's see. Ultimately the manager will live or die on these sort of decisions.

Summer Transfer Window 2019

Everyone seems to be getting very excited about the lad from City given Mowbray probably only sees him as cover at either RB or CB. -

That would require Sid the Scout buying a map of Europe. (Wherever that is). -
Despite the talk of new systems I think timid Tony will line up in fairly similar fashion to last season and the one before that. Not what I'd do but I reckon it will be something like: The Loanee Bennett Mulgrew Lenihan Bell Gallagher Johnson Evans Downing Dack Graham The only difference might be Downing for Bell and Armstrong on the left.

Yes.

Yep. Not just a criticism of us but I've never understood why Clubs leave a large proportion of their business until the last few days of the window. If Clubs persist in leaving it to the last minute the authorities might as well reduce the transfer window to a month like January. But you could just imagine the outcry from the Clubs were that to happen -

By that I take it you mean September 2020 rather than 2019. Just ask Harry Chapman. -

1) There has been the sale of a star player (the keeper) and he hasn't been permanently replaced. 2) I know the default position on here is to blame the owners for everything but why would they have issues over a penalty clause? If Mowbray plays the player then the clause doesn't come into effect. If however Mowbray comes to them and says "I'd like to sign this guy but we're probably going to get hit with penalty charges for not playing him enough" then are they not perfectly justified in querying that and asking why the hell we want to sign him in the first place? -

Very fair comment. However if you haven't made signings you need by this late stage the suspicion must be you've missed out on all your main targets and are just scratching around for anyone still available. So arguably you've failed anyway. -

Or "I'm glad we didn't sign anyone, such and such a young player (who Mowbray then completely ignores) will come on and it'll be like having a new player." -

The bit that got me was "We have been close with some signings but they aren't easy". What does he want, a Blue Peter Badge, a pat on the back and for everyone to say "Ah well, never mind Tone you did your best, you gave it a "right good go". If you're after a target then either you land them or you fail. It's no good trying to elicit sympathy because people "nearly" signed! -

If he did I can't see the problem. Who could object to him saying we're constantly looking to improve in every area of the pitch? It's then up to them to prove they're worthy of keeping their place and proving the manager wrong. -

Same old **** different day. Does he not sound more and more out of his depth at this level with every word he utters? Look at the end of the article where he kills it stone dead yet again. "We do need some defensive options to come in and compete with the players we've got." No we don't, we don't need players who are no better than what we've got padding out the squad. We do need players who are better than the one's we've got who will come in and go straight into the team and improve it. But that has been the case all over the pitch for the last 3 windows and it hasn't happened so no reason to suspect it will start happening now. -

Touchy. I have my opinion, you have yours , neither particularly carries any more weight than the next person but you like to dress yours up as being more important because you crack on that you have some sort of inside track at the Club. At least I'm here all the year round giving my opinion or "whinging" as you put it . You only pop up every transfer window and I'm increasingly convinced you're a Club plant placed to try and convince everyone that every move the Club makes is a masterstroke. No doubt you'll be back in January to try and convince everyone the market in that window is over-priced and we don't need to bring anyone in. Until then I shall console myself with the thought that as you are now reduced to hurling cheap insults you've lost the substantive argument. Toodlepip. See you in January. -

Rovers new style of play and how we play it
RevidgeBlue replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Is there any actual evidence we have drastically changed our style of play or is Sharpe reading too much into the fact that we've given everyone a run out in pre season for fitness purposes? 2 +2 = 5? -

Venus couldn't work out the Croatian for "You'll only be coming in as a squad player son, you'll have to dislodge those already here if you want a first team place." He's desperately working through Google Translate now to see if the German equivalent is any easier. -

Gone pretty quiet on the other keeper front. Is that it then, gone from promising young keeper who is our player with not enough competition to promising young keeper who isn't our player with not enough competition? Way to go. ? -

Can't make his mind up anyway. One minute he's telling us how highly the Club rate the likes of Buckley and Butterworth and are anxious to promote them, the next news he's telling us how blessed we are to have Evans as back up which if it were to be the case would block the progression of the youngsters stone dead. -
