Blimey Philp... I lost count of the number of cross he misjudged, missed or flapped at

Yes I agree. It might help us avoid relegation

Point gained. That was awful

Pears catches ball shock

Gallagher built like a brick wottsit but no idea how to use his body Another ball pears allowed to bounce across 6-yard box

Williams off....probably been our best player

Dangerous free kick from losing possession at a silly throw in

Hands up who gets annoyed and depressed just at the sight of Mowbray ?

Are Boro the home team ? They're so dominant it's embarrassing

Boro are walking through our midfield as though it doesn't exist. Another big let-off !!!

Neither do I. Just bog standard nothingness

Warnock wouldn't have someone like Dolan in his team....far too small and weak. 0-0 half time. I'd settle for that after 90. Boro better in every respect

Hangdog tony in the dugout...... what an inspiration

What did you expect? We gave the job to Owen Coyle instead

How is it 0-0?? Boro so superior

Gallagher's a our tallest player but he'd be only average height in the Boro team. Last gasp defending all the time... they go though our midfield like it's not there

chasing I'd settle for functional top 6

Look like a top 6 side to me

Boro so strong and direct... everything we're not

Men against boys this .... we look like a div II team

Boro look like a Warnock side....... all big and strong and minimum height of 6ft 4in !

You don't mess around with hamstrings - playing on when you feel a twinge is madness and turns a 2-week layoff into 6 weeks or in may cases alot longer. He should have come off immediately or Mowbray ordered him off

Now then, next match brings bonny Boro to Ewood, managed by the Neil Warnock who predictably has instantly turned the club around from last season's relegation candidates to one now sitting in the top 6. "Colin" is not everyone's cup of tea but he's one of my favourite managers, a tough nut who takes no nonsense and produces pragmatic, tough teams that are hard to beat and get results. His record of promotions is second to very few, if any. I stand to be corrected but I think Colin was actually pencilled in for the Rovers job when the club changed its mind at the mind at the 11th hour and, unbelievably, gave the job to Owen Coyle. He was also out of work for a brief period last year before Boro grabbed him to sort out their own mess. So that's 2 chances to we've had to appoint him, and I've no doubt we'd be back in the Premier League now had we done so the first time. Anyway, in the dugout it's Tony v Colin on Tuesday night and the contrast between the approaches of the 2 managers could not be more different - one an indecisive but apparent nice guy and the other who fashions a team in his own hard image. What the Rovers team will be is anyone's guess and I doubt Tony will decide until an hour before kick off. But I doubt it will make much difference. On current form I can't see anything other than another defeat. Rovers 0 Boro 1

Barry John packed up at 26, not even at his peak, which is incredible really. He wouldn’t do it these days with the money around now. I think he became a bit of a sad case in later life. Spoke to Gerald Davies a few times, nice chap, great player but he couldn’t write. His copy was terrible

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result...... Albert Einstein Describes watching Rovers under Mowbray I really wish he would retire
