We will probably find a way to lose but it’s no coincidence that it’s much more palatable to watch given the personnel. Funny how us mere mortals have been saying it for months Mowbray the so called expert finally dips his toe in and look so much better.

Bennett for nyambe, Conway for Armstrong and Williams for Rodwell and I would be on board with that. They said at least don’t have Evans and Smallwood sat in front of the back 4

Because Bennett can suck a golf ball through a garden hose.

It’s a no brainer Brereton

As well as not wanting to see a midfield trio of Evans, Smallwood and Bennett. I don’t want to see Conway either. Mowbray is obsessed with the notion of Conway being able to counteract a flying winger and, in my book, he’s simply not equipped to do that job. The reality is our squad is full of league one players unable to make the step up and aging championship players. Oh and the delightful soap opera that is Brad and Olivia.

I like the above sides. I’d much rather us lose trying to win with creative players than lose packing the midfield with dire defensive players.

Who have been mowbray’s signings? There’s talk about letting him rebuild in the summer but I’m trying to think is there any evidence signing wise he’s the man for the job. Pretty sure he signed Dack which until recently will be a tick in the positive column but there doesn’t seem many others getting a go and of course the 7 million pound man.

We’ll be massacred by Norwich, derby and probably forest. Beaten by Swansea. Leaving qpr and Bolton to get points. As for Dack being at the ground, getting injured and then going home. Let’s say I believe that course of events it’s a poor show he didn’t stop around to watch his teammates being there already. But of course we know it’s bollocks

It’s those poor 2,500 kids I feel sorry for. Scared them off for life.

I’m sick of nervously looking over my shoulder at bloody Rotherham annually. The legacy of the venkys.

The most frustrating thing is on seeing that line up nobody but nobody who’d seen a game before thought it would be any different. And the reason nobody thought it would be any different is because if you’ve even been to a few games you’ve seen the exact same crap before. Then regardless of the match situation it was going to be the same substitutions at more or less the same times. 5 mins late on the second tbf If I was in the away dugout for a guest appearance as away manager at ewood rovers wouldn’t get a point. Sure of it.

In conclusion, beaten by a team that have rarely scored in the last 11 games (fortunately they’ve missed 10/13 pens). 9 defeats in 11 games. 4 pts from 33. Only scored 5 first half goals in 20 games. Worst away defence out of the 92. Haven’t turned around a losing position in living memory.

Theyve missed 10/13 penalties.

2 wins from safety but I’ve no idea where they are coming from.

Are the rumours true that the stoke keeper has brought a hammock out for the 2nd half.

I wonder if the Bennett lottery wheel has been out at half time for a random change. Centre mid, full back, number 10, who knows.

Should be. Won’t be.

On seeing that team by the show of hands who is the least bit surprised. Good job we went so defensive wouldn’t have held out for 15 mins vs a team who can’t score.

Well who’d have thought he had a groin strain after all.

We’ll certainly contribute the 0. Over to stoke if they are hungry enough for the record...

Good of the football league and sky to honour that. As long as get the bare minimum notice all’s well suppose.

Yeah. This football lark ain’t cheap if dont just want to be bussed to a turnstile and back again. Train from Clitheroe would be £130, hotel £70, ticket £35 so £235 before had a drop of beer or food. That’s a great shout actually reckon we’ll do that.

We’d already booked a hotel anyway but on the basis rovers away is now 90% social aspect, 5% getting out the house and 5% rovers this ko rather eats into the night out. Was confident it would be moved due to the paymasters at sky so held off booking transport. Just looked and the train from Clitheroe to Norwich is £130. Ouch. Still would rather pay that or walk than get a bus free or otherwise. Football has nothing to do with fans so already made my peace with a ludicrous ko whether it was Friday, Saturday night or Sunday.

With runs like this I think back to roy Hodgson. We were top or as near as dam it at Xmas. Finished the season 7th ish which in isolation was fine but at the start of the following season we started how we’d finished the last season so he was potted. It’ll be very hard to break the losing cycle now. My gut feeling is we won’t. We should stay up but next season by Xmas I think we’ll be firmly in the relegation zone and then Mowbray will get his marching orders.
