All professional goalkeepers will make good saves - remember the likes of John Butcher, Matt Dickins, Alan Fettis, Jason Steele and Walton (now ) all doing the same but boy, did they make some blunders! See if you can find highlights of Bond's worse moments! Just about 100 games in a professional career spanning 10 years says it all for me. If this is Mowbray's 'evolution' then it's doubtful he's read Charles Darwin!!!!

Bowyer signed some good players - would love to know whether that was down to him or his dad Ian who was part of a hugely successful Forest side under Cloughie and he obviously knew the game inside out as his displays showed. Sadly, IMO, Gary didn't inherit his dad's understanding of the game. I think Mowbray's evolution/slow growth is about job preservation and buying himself time - the problem I have with Mowbray's view is, IMO, we've a threadbare squad, full of holes and with limited quality, more reminiscent of making it up as you go along! Contrast that to Warnock who, I believe, would have got us promoted back to the PL within two seasons - never heard Warnock talk about evolution/slow build!

If Mowbray had passion about the club and its fans then, IMO, he would walk as surely he can see the roof is about to cave in - that's what happens when you build your foundations on sand.

Nyambe has all the attributes to develop into a PL full back. He needs a consistent run of games to speed up his development. Some of the stuff Mowbray comes out with, IMO, can't do the lad's confidence much good and neither can the regular selection of Bennett over him. With a quality manager and or coach to help him, he could become top class - Kenny and Ray Harford would have made him a real player. I fear we will lose him and just like Raya, he will excel at his new club.

Look, I've thought for some time Venky's would look to 'get out'. For some reason, they haven't. However, I think circumstances have changed. They are some 10 years into their very expensive 'project' (almost £200million gone in with the likelihood of no return) and it must be difficult for them to see any sort of progress whatsoever in getting back to those halycon days when they bought a top 10 PL club - our regression has been staggering! It would seem their business in India has also been hit hard with the pandemic. In business, including football, a 'tipping point' is always reached. In football we've seen this with Hayward at Wolves, Davies at Bolton and Whelan with Wigan. I don't think the 'mood music' is good and it's getting louder.

You are not alone!!! Things just don't feel right (relative to how Venky's have been since buying Rovers) at the moment. Not scaremongering but in some 60 years of supporting the club, never, ever felt we are so vulnerable to insolvency and the abyss. In business, there is always a 'tipping point'.

Andy Bayes has been at Radio Lancashire for what must be going on for 15 years. I think it is his 'natural level'. I think he lacks the bottle to ask the cutting questions and makes life too easy for the interviewee. IMO, and partly based upon what I've seen of him at various events, too pally, pally with the 'sporting celebrities' and simply fawns over them.

IMO, the LT and Radio Lancashire have for a long, long time been way below par. Folk of my age group might well remember David Allin who succeeded Alf Thornton. Hell, that was one culture change. Allin called a spade a feckin spade and the fans and readers loved his razor sharp insights and comments. Sadly, Allin didn't last too long as he caused ructions at Ewood and he was replaced by the more pragmatic Peter White from the Blackburn Times. As for Neil Yardley's commentaries, is he for real? IMO, a cringeworthy joke.

Would not surprise me if Waggott and Mowbray already know and they are positioning fans for a huge let down!

I think very few will care about this game other than Mowbray. Mowbray will, IMO, field a team that will all be about self preservation. Sadly, I think Rovers will win their last two games to paper over the cracks and allow Mowbray to bang on about a season of progress and what would have been without the injury to Dack I'll take two humiliations in our last two games if it secures the departure of Mowbray.

I have never been taken in by the talk that Mowbray is a decent chap, a man of integrity, etc. IMO, he isn't. What he said in Blues Bar last February and IMO hugely failed to deliver upon, merely concreted my suspicions. Also, I think he has hung out to dry too many of our younger players - easy targets / 'low hanging fruit'. The Nyambe stuff, IMO, is parallel to the Raya nonsense and we know where that ended up and what it has cost us. And just what has Mowbray done for the confidence of the likes of Brereton and Gallagher? Whatever flickering ability these two lads have has, IMO, been extinguished by Mowbray's gross mismanagement of them - even Coyle got much more out of Gallagher. I really struggle to see just what Mowbray offers - I think it's clear he offers precious little in terms of man management skills.

IMO, staggering bullsh1t from Mowbray - some real 'pearlers': On leaving out Nyambe: “It was a balance of a few things, confidence levels, and the fact he’s played a lot of football, we decided to go with Elliott and Joe.” On including Bennett: "Elliott Bennett brings some character and personality to our team and takes the game-plan on to the pitch". https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/18582788.rovers-boss-mowbray-explains-nyambe-absence-team-selection/ I honestly despair with Mowbray and have given up all hope for the future of our club with him and Waggott in situ.

Tony has been building for three and a half years - since season recommenced, 7 points from 7 games with everything to play for. M'boro down and out - in walks Warnock, 9 points from 6 games. It's not rocket science. IMO, we have a p1ss poor manager taking us nowhere. Wake up and smell the coffee 'happy clappers'.

Do you really still think Mowbray is our man? How bad do we need to get before you would sack him?

Yep - the bookies! I take a lot more money off them than they take from me ?

Enough to persuade @chaddyrovers that Cooky is the man to replace Mowbray...................

Now 7!! Banged £40 on more than 7.5 goals at almost evens a few minutes ago.

Great stuff from Wigan. Hope they pull off the 'great escape'. Paul Cook is a decent manager with a good track record wherever he's been (more than you can say for some I could mention...................).

A 'character'! Those of us around at those times no doubt can recall similar tales. Remember one pre match when Birdy was back (think it was after he'd done a stretch) and he almost single handedly routed the 'Tigers' in the Darwen End - never seen folk shift so quick, was like a man possessed. Pussycats these days.

Football is a simple game. IMO, a club needs to make three quality appointments: CEO Football manager Chief scout Get these appointments right and the rest will look after itself. Sadly, we have Waggott, Mowbray and Stuart Harvey. IMO, all three need binning - you judge on what they've achieved and I'm left scratching my head. Again, IMO, almost three and a half wasted years - as a club, we haven't moved forward or progressed.

IMO, a damning state of affairs: https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/18580317.dont-assume-anything---mowbray-rovers-contract-plans/ I think Mowbray is paving the way - I would give you very, very short odds on his last two 'options' here: “Whether we can do that because we have some budget to go and buy some players, or whether we need to create some budget by letting players go and using their salary levels, or whether we have to cut the budget and promote some young players.” You draw your own conclusions.

Think 'tombola' Tony is going to be at it again: https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/18579455.mowbray-hints-changes-ahead-rovers-trip-millwall/ These are young professional athletes and if they can't manage two games a week then I think it's a p1ss poor effort. Leading tennis players will spend up to 20 hours s week on court in a highly competitive, physical and mental sport. Tony seems to think 180 minutes a week is a bit much for some of our lads. You play your most effective team - when you are winning, you don't feel the fatigue, the strains, the soreness etc. Millwall to win by at least two clear goals as, sadly, I think tombola Tone will strike again.

There is a phrase 'the harder you work, the luckier you get'. Been attributed to many over the years with slightly different variants. Think it can be traced back to Benjamin Franklin well over two centuries ago! The core message is spot on.

Not at all. It's economics and the world has changed through coronavirus. Venky's share price has fallen by something like 40% in six months. Both the demand and price for poultry products have have been substantially affected in that part of the world. Having tipped going on for £200million into Rovers and the necessity for frequent share issues to keep Rovers afloat, logic tells you there has to be a tipping point - you don't keep flogging a dead horse (it might be different if they could see Rovers making real progress and really challenging for the PL). Add to all that FFP provisions and, IMO, it's a gloomy, gloomy picture. I posted a few days ago that I think Rovers have never been as vulnerable to insolvency and financial collapse as they are now. Very sadly, it's where I think the club now is.
