One draw and they’ll be back.

It’s the best form of protest to vote with your feet. I imagine they’ll make a solid managerial appointment or replace their president (seems to be a thing to placate people over there) and they’ll be back. It would be interesting to see what the attendances of the international Goliath’s of Barcelona would be if the owners/management team took the piss out of them for 10 years.

Re calls I’ve no idea why the club don’t have someone or employ someone to call people off their existing database in order to find out why they no longer attend and even try to convince them to come along. I had a season ticket for 20 years yet have bought only a hand full of home ticket off them in 10 years (even though have been through other peoples accounts). Surely they’re curious as to why and the other largely missing 10,000. To be fair there’s nothing they could say to convince me to buy a season ticket with this manager and owners but at least they’ll have a picture of why people aren’t going wherever it’s that, cost, moved away, lost interest, etc… As usual they try nothing and they’re all out of ideas. In truth I suspect they know exactly why but aren’t prepared to do anything about it.

Buttler’s knock was a masterclass yesterday. He is probably the best white ball player England have ever had. It’s why he irritates me more than the others in tests. All that talent yet in a test match most of the time he looks like he’s never played before aside from his 1 in 20 innings decent knock which keeps him in the side. Totally different animal in white ball cricket. That bloke/woman on the tannoy trying to vamp up the crowd after every delivery were very annoying. Couldn’t be doing with get your hands up up up up up up and clap clap clap clap clap clap.

I’m waiting for someone to factor in the clocks going back. 😂

😂. I have to agree no one person would be so inconsistent with team selections and formations. If Tonebola isn’t picking the team the only logical conclusion has to be there’s a different person every week. Im still of the opinion there’s no third party selecting the side just one bad manager.

Defenders are coming.

Without knowing anything about the ins and outs of FFP etc I only need to remember one thing. Everything the Venkys have done in over a decade has been to the detriment of rovers. I don’t know how or why but this will be no different. It’s just how they roll.

Interesting read. But at a few occasions Mowbray has gone out of his way to praise the owners when saying nothing would have sufficed. He’s very much on their side and if it’s true things aren’t all well and he still publicly sucks up to them it makes it worse.

Looks like United might come in for Mowbray if this continues. The irony is I don’t think Mowbray would think he’s out of his depth there he’s so deluded.

We still don’t have a plan A though. It was 4-3-3 yesterday (seems to be people’s favoured formation) but it was 3-5-2 on Tuesday and could be something totally different vs derby. It’s just a series of random formations with random selections. Mowbray still has no clear idea of how he wants to play just a series of random ideas he has depending on the opposition so as such there’s no plan A. You could argue he has about 10 half baked plans none of which cohesively work consistently

Because he’s an improvement on Mowbray. Will people be running down to ewood because of him no but is he better than 100% yes. He may not have a plan B but moggadon doesn’t even have a plan A after 5 years.

Id love to see that smoggy bozo sacked more than most but I’m just not buying this gone in November stuff. Doesn’t make any sense. If thinking of sacking him then now is the best time with better managers in McCarthy, Bruce and wilder available (I don’t see why we couldn’t get any of those as they’re not getting prem jobs any time soon). If wait for a random international break in November who’s to say anyone will be available then. Plus from the owners point of view they were happy bumbling around lower mid table last season and the 2 seasons before that, and we’re bumbling around mid table now. We’ve gone on worse death spirals in ever other season than what we’ve managed this season. Compensation isn’t going to change one iota from now to next month. So what’s changed to make them want to sack him now. My prediction is we’ll bumble to another boring pointless lower mid table finish. His contract will run down to a few weeks left then they’ll think who cares give him another one.

Only England could make heavy weather of chasing 55. Whether this is given our or not typical livi just innocuously chipping one up.

1 win in 6 probably the early days of a proper death spiral. Few rumblings in the media but is there any pressure on Mowbray. I seriously doubt it. But whenever there has been he digs out a win.

Mowbray isn’t going on to bigger and better things after Rovers. Not in terms of wage, not in terms of stature of the club, not in terms of being allowed to be part of an operation happy to lose £20 million a season with him at the helm. I genuinely believe he’s waiting for the payoff which frankly can’t come soon enough. Unfortunately for him and the club the Venkys might just give him a new deal.

He’s a poor mans bowyer. Bowyer wasn’t good enough.

Seems as though added a test match to old Trafford.

Called him a tactically inept cabbage head. Still would be a vast improvement over our own ‘tactically inept cabbage head’. im sure the 8 million pay off softened the blow whatever was said. In fact if the price of having 8 million was someone following me around calling me a cabbage head id take it.

The usual 8th - 14th Mowbray mediocre comfort zone. Lose a few players in January or suffer significant injuries then could easily be dragged into a relegation battle. Sack the manager, make a decent appointment, keep the better players and a few shrewd signings could easily make the play offs in a poor quality division.

I think livi is all flash and no substance I’ve seen him far too often clear the ropes a few times in an innings only to chip one up to long on a few balls later with a shrug of the shoulders. At the very most he’d be another Buttler or Bairstow in a test environment. In Australian conditions their quicks would have livi on toast. Parky before bess and saqib before Overton seemed a no brainer to me. * that said I don’t think there’s any combination of players England could take that will prevent a whitewash (weather aside). We have 2 competent batsmen root and stokes and only one playing. It’s still not enough even if stokes was fit/right state of mind.

Moggasurus left them bottom of league one. Fast forward to the present day they’re in the championship play off places, less debt than rovers, playing in front of big home crowds. Meanwhile we just trudge along with that smoggy the debt going up at an alarming rate.

Think it’s 6 points lost from winning positions

Feel a Luton coming on here
