Agreed but setting a target of 70 points is completely pointless anyway as I can't remember the last time that figure got anyone into the play offs, the figure is usually at least 74 or 75. Who on earth sets a target of finishing just outside the play offs? I'm sure Mowbray was aware of what he was saying and it just goes to emphasise how he is taking everyone and the owners for fools by doing the bare minimum, muddling along and keeping himself and his coaching staff and the majority of his squad in a long term job. If he wasn't aware that 70 points doesn't secure a play off place then that merely serves to underline his incompetence and the fact that he was never really serious about aiming for promotion in the first place.

Tone will probably be lobbying tWsggott and the owners that they're both worth a new deal. Graham for 12 months and Samuel longer. Gulp.

I'm worried we'll give Graham another 12 months on the basis we can't afford to sign anyone else.

The ship's probably sailed on that one if they go up.

If only we would do a Bristol City and send Mowbray packing tonight giving us time to assess our options ahead of next season. I really think we are heading for a world of trouble if he is here much longer. Every man and his dog can see we have no first choice keeper and only have 5 outfield players who are good enough : Lenihan, Nyambe, Travis, Dack and Armstrong and Nyambe and Dack are entering the last 12 months of their contracts. The only thing that matters should be keeping those five and a humongous clearout is needed of most of the rest of the deadwood, that is if any of them would attract any interest from elsewhere. Instead we know exactly what will happen, Mowbray will attempt to, and probably succeed in conning Waggott and the owners that the "long term plan" is still on track and persuade them to spunk yet more money against the wall on new contracts and/or extensions "to keep the group together".

Spot on. You can add to that spending seven million on Brereton and then hardly ever playing him (I think he's only started consecutive games 2 or 3 times) and re-signing a player (Chapman) he barely ever picked first time round then not selecting him at all the second! If I were in the Raos' position I'd be livid at the way my money had been wasted.

Bloke in the Sun got in trouble for touching someone up apparently necessitating Police attendance.

Went a long time ago.

These commentators. Cardiff on Tuesday now a "must win" according to them. What planet are they on? Truly dire viewing 2nd half.

The manager should be the first one called into the manager's office!

Cardiff just scored. Season definitely over now. Mowbray out, youngsters in.

"Sold"? Would you buy him?

How's Walton got away with a yellow there? That would actually have done us a massive favour if he'd copped a ban.

Walton strikes (yet) again. The second substitution should have been my "face in the crowd" for Walton. It'd stop more and Rovers have my permission.

There was nothing v Barnsley and nothing on my mate's feed during the first two games.

Fantastic free kick from Armstrong, very soft free kick but we'll take it. Can we show some character and kick on?

I've never been a particular fan of Mick McCarthy's style of football but he was commentating today on Derby v Forest and I thought he was spot on with his analysis. Get him in now. At least I think he will be honest and call a spade a spade if we're playing badly unlike the delusional arse covering bollux we're subjected to from Mowbray.

The section of the stand next to it nearer the dug out appears to be half empty. Edit: Game over. If it's one bad result nearer Mowbray leaving I'll take it.

I had enough of algebra at school.

I'm getting bits of what I assume is code flashing up all over the place on my laptop. Anyone else getting the same?

As a side issue I've been shafted on the "face in the crowd" front, paid £45 for one of the ones near the dug out and I'm in the middle of the crowd underneath the Blackburn Rovers Community Trust sign which isn't the nearest section of seating to the dug out. I don't mind particularly as I'm treating it as a donation to the Club but it just seems indicative of how the Club are treating the fans.

Well, was a bit late in after walking the dogs, came in at 15.07 and one down. Well done lads! Edit: Gallagher, what a waste of space. Lead Commentator doing my head in already, cracking on Gallagher narrowly missed and was unlucky. Holtby unlucky.

Oh joy. Another 90 mins of Walton, Bennett and Gallagher.

imo Graham's completely finished. The problem is Brereton and Gallagher haven't stepped up

Class. And never more apt in Gallagher's case. Lose the Alice band, stop fiddling with your bloody hair all the time and concentrate on making yourself a nuisance to the opposition.
