Is it a Network Rail buddleia ?

Someone has either put that up out of mischief or the story could be true. When has wiki ever been wrong ? ☹️

In other matches... Benitez getting his wish and Newcastle going out of cup. Burnley won't be going to Wembley. PNE winning at Stoke in Championship

Was that only win against us ?

Great start. Let's hope Mowbray doesn't go into defensive mode and try to protect the lead for the next 60 mins

If Chapman comes it will be a case of another signing who may or may not improve the team. Is he really worth the time, effort, and, most important, the money in fees and wages?. Rovers would be better putting resources into signing permanently players who definitely make a difference, such as Reed and Rodwell

"Small risk" but "big ifs" does not compute. Chapman is a huge risk in view of his injury record and lack of recent playing time. A player can have all the potential in the world but it means nothing if he is never on the field of play. Perhaps he's being signed to keep Davenport company in the treatment room?

Yes I would. He was young and raw when he was with us but the potential was always there. His skills and overall game have now matured and he looks a top Premier League forward when he's at his best. I still can't get over he's doing it with Bournemouth and Boscombe Athletic, who to me are a fourth division club. But that's another story....

Yes, Dougan. What could possibly be worse than asking for a transfer on the morning of the FA Cup Final ? Best - joint Bryan Douglas and Andy McEvoy in the 7-2 drubbing of Spurs circa 1963. Absolutely brilliant

Heartfelt post and as a town club like Rovers and I feel sorry for you. We know what it's like to have useless owners who haven't a clue what the effects of their actions have on the community.

Well, well well Nuttall..... I thought last week's goal was a fluke but every dog has his day. Very poor bottom team duly dispatched as they should be but ought to have been alot more. Tough game against an in-form Hull next week.

Censorship, pure and simple Plus the probable loss of a young fan (and his mates) who have every right to feel miffed and walk away from the club at a time when it is struggling for attendances

Agree, which is why Mowbray will probably have his excuses lined up by Friday night over what could go wrong. Is it too much to hope that instead of limping to the inevitable 1-1 draw to see a ruthless Rovers put these sorts of teams to the sword?

Fred Pickering. Didn't Jack Marshall switch Andy McEvoy's switch position too and make him a much better player ? Malcolm MacDonald (Supermac) started out as a left back too

Against a team bottom of the league by 5 points and 19 points below us, how about the entire first team squad ? How many do you think, just out of curiosity ?

This has to be a win. No excuses about tiredness of injuries or anything else from Mowbray.

Give it a rest Simon. We know he's run off with your wife

Footballers play in shirts; rugby players play in jerseys

Defending hasn't been good enough in the whole time Mowbray has been in charge. We are soft at the back. Newcastle are a poor side and conceding 4 to them is pathetic. Sorry

3rd was maybe offside but it was a horrible blunder by Raya. If he couldn;t hold the shot he should at least have made sure he pushed the ball wide away from danger. Basic goalkeeping.

Conceding 4 at home to Newcastle reserves and a club in turmoil on and off the pitch that didn't really want to through anyway is pathetic no matter how you try to dress it up.

Nuttall on for Armstrong.

I strongly suggest that instead of asking football fans to fill in an online tickbox questionnaire you actually get out and about in the town and talk to people ? Proper research involves hard leg work talking to council leaders, the chamber of commerce, business chiefs, shop owners, people in the pubs and clubs, and the top brass at Rovers too to find out their opinions. Not something you can do on the internet from your bedroom.

Six months is a long time in football. Teams and players lose form, managers gets sacked. Just because players were given new contracts last summer doesn't mean they should be automatic picks and or that they cannot be replaced. Football is constantly changing; the "money men" in India or at Ewood should know that by now.

"I’ve talked before, I put a lot of stock in loyalty in players who have done well for this team and I want to see how far they can take us." - Mowbray I would say the team as it stands has got as far as it will go - our position in the table shows where we are at. Loyalty is fine but standing still isn't . We need to keep improving and evolving ........Travis has shown he's an upgrade on Smallwood while Rodwell looks a class act and needs a run - possibly by shunting Mulgrew to left back. Mowbray does worry me.
