Changed it for you

Misread AIK for AEK. Both were very good players who had excellent careers. If we had them now we'd be a much stronger side. None of Lenihan and his numerous partners come anywhere close.

Taylor played more than 300 league games for a number of very good clubs including Rovers, Sheff Wed, Birmingham and Norwich, under many top-name managers. You don't do that by being a poor defender. Johansson played more than 500 league games for Rovers, Leicester, Bayern, Nurembourg and AEK Athens. You don't do that by being a poor defender. Both streets ahead of any defenders we have at the club now.

Really

Footballers are money motivated - yes, they want to play but their "contract" always come first. Faced with the choice of joining a Premier League club where he would boost his wages or a Championship club, there was only one outcome.

Football's full of players happy to spend most of their careers on the bench if it means earning more money. This bloke's no different.

So you're going to turn down doubling or more your fork-lift driver wages? Come on, get real.

Well yes, goes without saying. Same as his habit of going on winless runs and sequences of taking alot of points, and for the team then to go in reverse. It's more to do with him habitually picking the wrong starting XI, getting it right late in the match, then swapping the team around for the next game; plus the team looking as if they couldn't be arsed for most of the game before finally waking up when it's almost too late

Would you like to try answering the questions?

Why does plan B appear to be so much better than plan A and why can't Mowbray make his plan B the plan A in the next match? Also why does it take us 75 minutes to ratchet up any sort of momentum in games?

Totally unconvincing win

80 minutes of nothingness

68 mins gone and we have not had a spell of pressure

And another 15 minutes of nothingness

Yet again 45 minutes of nothingness.

Any other manager would at that point had a bust-up with Warnock. Souness would have clocked him probably. Tony "Nice Guy" Mowbray smiles and picks up his latest pension cheque

Any other manager except Mowbray would have done the same. Warnock's a winner. Mowbray isn't

A road in the town is to be named after our Fred

Well, you win promotion by winning ugly..... and that was ugly

"Klopp is a big fan of how Rovers play"...... commentator

Gaps appearing in our defence. Goal coming

Hardly surprising when you defend deep and struggle to get in your opponent's half

I see Dyche's "boring" team are winning away in the cup

The bonus from that half is that we're not losing Overall very poor, second to nearly every ball, no shape or cohesion One defensive mistake and it's all over

Mowbray has to realise that before we can play our "good football" we have to impose ourselves on teams. At the moment we're just chasing shadows
