Lee Tomlin on.....quite often scores against Rovers

Why is Bennett on ?

Comments on the poor body language of the Rovers players before the match speaks volumes on Mowbray and his inability to get his players ready for a match. It's just not good enough

What's his worst run with us....something like one in 11? Not many managers would get away with that and keep their job. Twice

If he can't make it work why doesn't he let someone else have a go ?

Game not 15 minutes gone and our defence folds. Quelle surprise

The genius of Tony Mowbray.

Luton beating Barnsley, sending the Tykes to the bottom The same Barnsley that beat us easily recently. Hurrah for Tony!

Right, for once. And Mowbray's time has been and gone. It's Dalglish BTW

I'd be in Paradise if we appointed Warnock. And so would most Rovers fans

Award yourself a CDM for daftest comment on this thread.

Well done, and good luck with the pup. Doggies are great fun and will give you years of affection and great memories. Money much better spent than the ephemeral pleasures of a here-today gone-tomorrow holiday.

Court of opinion on Mowbray says you're way off beam. Guilty as charged

Legal eagles spell it judgment, so why should anyone trust you?

My first reaction on hearing of Tony Mowbray's appointment was, what has he done to deserve managing our club? He'd been sacked from his last job by then very lowly Coventry after losing about 10 games in a row and seemed a busted flush. Nothing really has changed since then to alter that view. There is a case for giving him one more try next season but I really don't think we'll get anywhere with him. As for a replacement, if Neil fails to keep Boro up in the next few weeks I'd give him a call.

Going on for 10 years since relegation from the Premier League, and we've never looked like going back. We've never even been in the top 6. I'm getting older, I don't have many years left and I desperately want to see us back in the top flight before I end up gaga in the care home. Sadly, I can't see that happening under Mowbray. Roll the dice again and see if we get lucky.

It's a good job fans aren't allowed in grounds. On recent form we'd be down to about 5,000 now. Mowbray's time is up for me. The club's dead in the water. Why they never appointed Warnock when they twice had the opportunity beggars belief

Why would he? He's under no pressure from anyone at the club

It finished months ago

or is it Tony's white flag?

Mighty Barnsley who made us look so poor losing 2-0 at Stoke

Lots of passengers in that team - Rothwell, Walton, Bennett etc - and only one driver (lenihan) Donkeys led by one lion

Feel sorry for Wigan and their fans. After Bury that's another Lancashire club that could be heading for extinction. But for the grace of God (or Venky's) we could be dire straits too. What are the EFL doing to help Wigan? A 12-point deduction is a harsh punishment for a broken football model that fails to protect clubs from avaricious and unsuitable owners.

I'm convinced it's deliberate because it happens too often for it to be a co-incidence. Tony is in fact alot smarter than we give him credit for. He and his mates in the boardroom don't want the pressure of the Premier League because it would jeopardise their jobs so they keep Rovers there or thereabouts in the promotion race in order to keep the fans reasonably happy but back off when we get too near the top 6. When the heat is on again after a poor run and fans get restless Tony pulls off some big wins and Rovers go on a little run within sight of the top 6 again. Rinse and repeat through the season for 3 years or more and hey presto!, Tony's got £5 million in the bank!

Not a bad shout...they're only 6 ;points behind now. Rovers really are a soft touch losing to 2 relegation threatened sides, Wigan and Barnsley showed what can be achieved with a bit of fighting spirit. Our bunch of nice boys couldn't fight their way out a of a paper bag.
