no

I cant believe we haven't had a post about whether he slept in his pj's and what he had for breakfast !

Out and out football it’s the future

my office toilet is referred to as a shttr

So we await a 5 oclocker from Nicko or a teaser from the Rovers twitter feed??

Why follow Rovers if he is joining Huddersfield or Leeds? Or anyone else ? He has no link to Ewood other than what has been reported and the fact he was training with us pre season? I agree with your comment about whether he will join us though.

is he still following BRFC or has there been any other clubs on his profile?

RF99 I accept your POV however my comment isn't meaningless at all, it is my view based on fact. I have and know of at least 25 "fans" who wont go because of what has gone on, until venkys foxtrot Oscar, unless the team perform better, unless smallwood leaves, the price of a season ticket, the darwen end issue, behaviour of some home fans etc etc. so change is a must for some of them no matter what that change may be and IMO they should swallow their pride. There is evidence on this board of fans declaring a vow never to return until there is change yet having witnessed some success have relented, swallowed pride and gone back, ABBEY being the best example I can give !. my simple philosophy is to get over the issues and make an effort to get the club back onto bigger and better things.

My personal view is that some fans and supporters have to swallow their pride and get back to Ewood Park to support loud and proud

I really think the problem at centre back highlighted the weak link to be Mulgrew ! Yes it was a bit of a shock him going to wigan but at what cost? 4 clean sheets and money off the pay roll? Talking to my wigan supporting neighbour he says Mulgrew was pretty bad on Saturday the only plus point was a cross from which they scored, otherwise and defensively he was tosh, which tells a story after we have just had 4 clean sheets with what some believe is a make and o defence.

Maybe it is time for the club to have a love in with the fans. I mean what else could they really do? Saturday was a prime fixture to target youth who have just gone back to school, I am sure a ticket offer with some sort of additional incentive could also have worked in the clubs favour. There are all sorts of things they could try/gimmicks for example the price of beer and food could be attached to the price of a ticket, it is clear the price of a pint and a pie could be lowered, lower costs often mean bigger sales. The stay away fans need targeting with an incentive. Not everyone will come back as some state, there are those that wont return because of Venkys, because they have found other things to do on match dat/employment and family issues also play their part. A sustained market approach might be too late for this year but it is clear to me that as numbers continue to dwindle something needs to be done asap. seeing 11500 at Ewood Saturday was very sad.

I do not understand this team and the formation he is hoping to play let’s hope it works but I am not confident today in seeing that team sheet

Cheating, diving and players who run half way up the line to take a throw in. Add in the complainers who surround referees effing and blinding ! Gary Lineker and Murphy on tv are a pair of twits. Incompetent linesmen and referees. The price of a pie and a pint in the ground. The horrendous cost we have to pay to visit shitholes like Leeds where away fans are ripped off. manure and citeh who have ruined football completely. dingleland and t'urd moor. Fans who wont come back and support the team they profess to love

The way to deal with Mahoney is to put Nymabe right up his backside. He is a slight of a ld who can be bullied off the ball easily.

I would take a scrappy 1-0 win any time of the week. I think it will be a hard game with Millwall coming to frustrate, they are not the most attacking outfit away from home and will try and stifle the midfield. Going for a Dack winner

I don't agree if he was good enough he would be getting games at a lesser team in the top league, he isn't going to improve any further playing at Championship level. He would learn more get better with improved coaching and better players around him.

Then why isn't he at a top premiership or European club ?? Thing is he is at Brentford a middle of the road Championship team

Come on folks we lost a game 3-2 versus one of the biggest teams in the league away from home. The result won’t ruin my night or weekend in fact I have had a ruby having a beer or two watching dingles getting whooped and in any case it could be worse we could be the huge club that is stoke city ???

Done really smart football by the youngsters some good players coming through the ranks future looks great

Rovers 5-3 up sine great football being played

sorry Simon, I totally have to disagree with you.Mowbray steadied the ship, and we have been on a progressive step ever since. Sure,some might disagree with the signings BUT we have a good young team and in this day and age some youngsters need a bloody good arse kicking to get their motivation right. re Chapman, he was injured for the best part and didn't really paly much football after his operation. It is down tot he player to get himself beyond the fitness stage and make an impression to ensure he gets picked, a bit like Travis has done

He clearly has KHOD if the comments are read between the lines, now its back tot he player to show improvement and warrant a place in the team

I'm not quite sure where you re going Matty with this, it is a comparison in that even the great Fergie had some issues with players not pulling their weight. He flashed in the changing room when he allegedly kicked the shoe/boot that connected with DB's eyebrow. With TM it is a way of motivating the young players. From what I have seen of him - HC - he has the ability to be a great player BUT if his attitude sucks then he will go the way of many failures in the game before him.TM can talk all he wants inside his office but sometimes, and not just in football, you have to take it outside of the office to get the right response. I know this as a manager myself in my job, I have known it throughout a military career and my last job, sometimes it has to be said out in the open to get the required response. Everyone can have a view, this is mine and I have seen it work on many different occasions, if a player cannot step up after a bit of open criticism then he isn't good enough to play football for our club or any other.

You read into YOUNG too much Matty its a figure of speech

Like Fergie didn't assault young Beckham in the changing room in his attempt to motivate after a poor game ??? I don't have any direct proof, it all rumour and speculation but it is evident that he isn't putting the effort in if he did then he is a given starter such is his skill, speed and ability
