IMO, Mowbray just doesn't get the best from what we have and hasn't got that steely winning mentality. Listening to the interviews last night from Holden and Mowbray, Holden was so upbeat and positive - their bottom line objective is top 2 whilst, IMO, Mowbray's objective is to challenge for top 6. Injuries don't wash - that was a very strong starting 11 last night. Sadly, IMO, Mowbray did not set us up right and his substitutions were baffling to me. Sick of feckin saying it - we need a young, hungry and innovative manager who, I am pretty certain, would get a far better tune out of the payers we have at Rovers.

Bristol City v Rovers. Wed 9th Dec. 7.45pm

Never mind top 6, have we beat a top half side this season? Dreadfully disappointing. Couldn't see City scoring. Sloppy defending! Douglas the most overrated left back in our history! -

Strong team that. Can't see us failing to win. Simply no excuses given City's bigger injury problems. -

Some you get, some you don't. How Millwall will feel aggrieved after having had 3 excellent penalty shouts turned down. Luck tends to balance out over the course of a season. -

Disagree. The next appeal may be more legitimate and the perception might be 'here we go again, Rovers playing the system' and we end up stuffed. I would fight good and proper for 'justice' but, IMO, the Lenihan appeal stinks and will not have enhanced our stock with the powers that be. -

If not a straight red then a 2nd yellow with same consequence. Should have taken it on the chin instead, IMO, of trying to riddle out of it. What goes around comes around! -

Absolutely no surprise. IMO, appeal wrongfully submitted for selfish rather than just reasons. -
Think we have four big problems: Holtby - career 'resurrected' and with a wife in Germany, difficult to see why he wont look to head back there Nyambe - said it for a while, potentially a beast of a right back but, IMO, Mowbray has fecked him about and if I was his agent, I know what my advice would be............. Dack - if he can prove his form and fitness, it may well be now or never for PL Rothwell - this lad both excites and frustrates. One of the few players we have who makes me move to the edge of my seat. Needs to add consistency but will only come with regular game time and experience. Again, IMO, as with Nyambe, Mowbray has not managed him well and if agent gets involved........
-
Think we need to be careful not to expect too much of Dack too soon. Just over 12 months out with a cruciate will take Dack some time to get back to anywhere near 'normality'. IMO, at worse, he never will be the same force again and at best, will take half a dozen matches or so to get back anywhere near to where he was.

All teams suffering from injuries not least Bristol City and Norwich. We have nothing at all to fear. We might well concede but we certainly seem to have goals in our locker. Rovers making plenty of money for me at the moment and odds for Rovers win at Bristol are very decent at 11/8 - big bet gone on. Two wins this week will have us top 6 and breathing down the necks of 1 and 2. We just need to feckin go for it - you can choose courage, or you can choose comfort, but you cannot choose both!!! -
Brentford (A) - Saturday 5.12.20
Mercer replied to Uddersfelt Blue's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Decisions change matches. IMO, Lenihan hasn't been 'at it' for some time - a liability who needs dropping. Not sure Ayala is going to last the match - doesn't seem fully fit to me. -

Exactly! Think the 'ups and downs' tend to balance out over a season. -

These things happen. Millwall could have had three penalties against us - we rode our luck then. Have to take the rough with the smooth. Don't want to hear Mowbray moaning! -

Next 3 games will show us whether Rovers could be the real deal or just pretenders. Think we got more than we deserved from our last 2 games and good penalty shouts for Millwall went our way - you need Lady Luck on your side. Keep saying it but confidence and momentum everything in this league and now that we have some, at long last, I expect us to come away with at least a point. COYB -
It is but just because you can walk on an injured knee does not mean it is not a severe injury.

What nonsense. Van Dijk walked off around the pitch against Everton and he'd done his cruciate!

Loved my visits to Victory Park as much as my missus loved her visits to the old 'flat iron' market there. Great little place Chorley.

Rovers v Millwall. Wed 2nd Dec 7.45pm
Mercer replied to darrenrover's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Looking at the next few fixtures, this is the last chance for Rovers' fans to fill their boots in good time for Christmas. Ridiculously attractive odds (bit better than evens) for Rovers' win - pile in there and make the most of the opportunity. Rovers by 3 or 4 goals to 1 in a canter. -
Nice easy draw. Looking forward to seeing how good Ben Whiteman is @Sparks Rover and seeing @chaddyroverschoke on his words.

No we didn't. A tad fortunate. Bottom line though is we got three points and my bookie paid out! -

Mowbray told us he could play against Coventry if needed - that was 5 long weeks ago! Think Ayala suffering from Grellaitis! -
Rovers v Barnsley. Sat 28 Nov 3pm
Mercer replied to darrenrover's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Win when you don't play well is a good sign. Think we can safely say we now have a more than competent keeper! Delighted for Nyambe with his two assists (yep giving him the second one). This lad can be a real beast if managed correctly - JRC's hammy might just prove to be a blessing in that gives Nyambe a great opportunity to nail down his spot and the doubters! Super finish from Gallagher. In a good position - next four games will show if we could be the real deal. Ewood Park bombed at Newcastle but Rovers win leaves me quids in and entitled to uncork a nice red! COYB -

After the Lord Mayor's show! We just don't seem to be able to get the bit between our teeth and gather momentum. Injuries, injuries and more injuries - something is, IMO, sadly wrong with our Sports Science. Said it before, can't see what Trybull offers - no wonder Norwich happy to lose. Technically, think Wharton is so poor. Plenty of time for Mowbray to turn this around though said more in hope than expectation. -

Will be case of once bitten twice shy for me! Strangely, did fancy it strongly. Got a bit edgy when I saw odds drifting like they did and was in two minds to lay the bet and cut the losses, sadly, I didn't. -

Could have run bloody faster myself! Maybe the footballing gods were conspiring to tell us where Rovers would finish this season!
