its down to the player. Does he really need to earn millions to play first team football after the riches in his pocket? The days of huge massive pay packets outside of the PL are long gone.

I think the issue with Mowbray's tenancy is that he grew seriously stale and indeed rather than making further progress, he stopped, regressed and then fell out with everyone including himself ! This is where it went wrong and he overstayed his welcome and became even more stubborn with petty excuse after excuse. There is no doubt he righted the ship and the work behind the scenes isn't just about Mowbray and Venus, Sheron and co take a lot of credit for the manner and progress of the youth set up as well as all of the other back room staff, that's why they are all coveted by bigger clubs. I enjoyed his first 3 and a half years but then it went rotten and last season where he had the chance to write his place in the BRFC history books, he sulked, he moaned and he blew the chance big time, that is what really hurts.

but losing against the lower ranked teams was is the point I was making!

Has Mowbrays cup collapso routine been rooted out of the club ?😅

Players like Ayala and Travis should be rested to avoid injury and silly bookings. For me, play a few younger ones and those that need the fitness boost. Dack to score a couple as Rovers make it to the next round!

Because suddenly becomes a real arse who the hell will take him on? Dack isnt the type of individual who would resort to this type of behaviour.

I just dont see BD suddenly becoming a bad apple - for 2 reasons. It isnt in his nature to be one and if he did, along with his 2 bad injuries who will take him on? That would leave him isolated as a footballer, getting no game time and just rotting away on the bench at best or in the reserve set up. Being a professional it is solely in his interest to buckle down, get fit and get back in the starting 11 and managers plans

That's exactly how it should be

Everton are financially fooked

The burning issue is that BBD is untested as a PL forward and much like Armstrong has found it will be a huge step up. That’s why teams are not throwing everything to get him ! Another 2 seasons at our level with good scoring record will see him get his move

Great result can’t knock anything 👍 only 25 more wins required😅😅

Sorry but I have to disagree on the JR but he only did it on the odd occasion and scored once v Cardiff often he lost the ball leaving us wide open at the back and midfield! He will not excel in the PL as Bournemouth get carved up he most certainly is not a ball winner defensive wise

see below post,

Think Man U rammed that quote down his throat

Happy to take a point on this match but as someone pointed out its always a difficult ground for Rovers to get anything 1-0 loss

Surely we need a creative source so the strikers have the chances?

I am not too sure where Bowler would actually fit into the set up of JDT. Priority has to be a central defender who can play across the back. For some questioning Mortons signing, well he offers variety and cover if injuries and suspensions bite across the middle of the park

There’s a squad together that is far better than at least 13 other teams

Utter shite

Because as it stands they have to get much better players in hence the huge expenditure of forest - Bournemouth are already down 😅

You don’t play for Liverpool and Klopp unless you have the ability and he clearly does. His speed skills and sure feet might just benefit us and the way we play Let’s wait and see

we got Elliot as a kids on loan from Liverpool he didnt do too bad did he?

Out of interest - IF the scouts from Wham and Leeds were watching BBD on Saturday then they all left at the 70 minute mark. We had an excellent view of them all and the notes they were taking. One scout we had no idea about, very well dressed in dark 3 piece suit and a very nice jacket and who spoke with a southern accent remained until the end.

You can only beat what’s in front of you ! 1-0 home win 3 points clean sheet keeper had nothing to save and to belt it off AC/DC ticking Ewood before kick off it’s what we needed

That is wrong. His agent returned to the club to discuss the offer, the offer was the same as before, after talks with Broughton he still declined the offer and because he was taking his time Rovers withdrew which imo was the right thing to do! Billy big bollocks agent made a right arse of it hence why he is the embarrassed one!
