When Waggott does something to demonstrate we really are 'in it together' then I might reciprocate. IMO, diabolical stuff on ST's which will just alienate the fan base more. -
Rovers vs. Wycombe - 19th Sept, 3pm
Mercer replied to J*B's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Not quite as I made it clear that I wouldn't buy a season ticket (with Mowbray and Waggott at the helm) even if I'd win the £62million Euro jackpot.! However, I won £150 across two bets (Rovers to win and more than 1.5 goals in the match) so I put my money where my mouth is/was. As a bonus, I also took £20 off a Burnley fan in the pub when our fifth went in. So, all in all, a nice little earner today which will allow me to add some very decent reds to my wine stock. -

Didn't look at that - can't review historic market. You'd be looking at more than 4.5 goals in the game and given the relativities of the two teams, I think you'd be looking at about 5/1 (6.0 decimal odds) which would have given you winnings of £50 for a tenner. -

Sorry but not my scene! Delighted with the result but there are bigger tests to come - sounds like Wycombe were as woeful as I thought they'd be but, having said that, you can only beat what's in front of you. Extremely profitable day and even took £20 off a Burnley fan in the pub when our fifth went in!!! Confidence and momentum are everything - let's hope positivity is now flowing throw our players' veins and we give it a feckin good go. -

Ryan Nyambe - IMO, you need to get away from this mad house. I do not think Mowbray has done much at all for your career development. IMO, the manager has hung you out to dry on a number of occasions and has handled you appallingly. You have great talent and potential - don't waste it!!! -
Odds vary match by match. For today (odds pretty low) you would presently (they fluctuate up and down) get: More than 1.5 goals in game (ie 2 or more goals) - 1.31- £0.31 winnings for each £ bet More than 2.5 goals in game (ie 3 or more goals) - 1.93 - £0.93 winnings for each £ bet More than 3.5 goals in game (ie 4 or more goals) - 3.3 - £2.30 winnings for each £ bet I've gone big on more than 1.5 goals in today's game. Broadly, if you'd have bet £20 / game on more than 1.5 goals / game last season (given 80%+ certainty ie result delivered), you would have been almost £200 in pocket after 46 league games
-
A bet that delivers with something like an 80% certainty on Rovers' games - more than 1.5 goals! Fill your boots - today will be a winner. Odds not great at 1.31 but a 31% return on £100 is way, way in excess of what you get in a savings' account!
-
Getting into the play offs is pointless unless you WIN THEM!
-
Thoughts are with you Chris. If you show half as much enthusiasm in your working environment as you do for Rovers on this MB then I am sure you wont be too long without a job. Good luck.

I will not be buying a season ticket whilst Mowbray and Waggott are in situ even if I win £62million on Friday's Euro jackpot nevermind my Rovers' bet winning! We shouldn't even be debating the result - Wycombe should be comfortably swept aside. I've put my money where my mouth is and placed a large bet which I fully expect to enable me to add a case of some very, very nice reds to my wine cellar! -

A home banker, a licence to print money, an opportunity to get a free season ticket if you are bold and brave! £660 on Rovers to win at 3/5 or 1.6 (whichever odds selection you prefer) will get you your free season ticket. It's going to be a long and difficult season for Wycombe as their opening 1-0 defeat at the hands of mighty Rotherham showed. Opportunities like this don't come along very often and we've had two good performances so far at relegated Bournemouth and PL Newcastle so this should be a stroll in the park. -
Mowbray in LT on Newcastle: “We’ll go to Newcastle and do what we did against Bournemouth, ask questions of them, play on the front foot and see whether they can live with the intensity we’re trying to find.” I really do think our manager is delusional and has lost the plot.
-
Would sack Mowbray and install Cook in a heartbeat. An absolute no brainer in my book.
-
Nail on head! I think Mowbray's man management skills are poor - I think we've seen it with Raya, Nyambe and Reed, to name but three. And his two biggest signings (Brereton and Gallagher) have, again IMO, been handled appallingly - played out of position, sat on the bench, it's a wonder if either of those two lads have an ounce of self confidence.
-
It is not as simple as that! I think Mowbray hung him out to dry on a number of occasions and, additionally, I think Raya, unsurprisingly, had very little respect for Benson our goalie coach and that is based upon what I saw with my own eyes. No wonder, IMO, Raya wanted out.
-
Totally agree. Arteta has been a revelation at Arsenal and totally transformed them in just 9 months - no evolution and slow build with Arteta!!! IMO, just underlines why the dinosaurian Mowbray (and his staff) needs replacing with a dynamic, hungry and inventive young manager. I don't think we are going anywhere with Mowbray and the sooner the penny drops with our owners and the happy clappers then the better.
-
Loved the guy. I remember the Portsmouth match in the mid 1980's when he almost kicked Kennedy and O'Callaghan into orbit! 'Killer' then sorted out Woods good and proper but got his marching orders. Jimmy Hill was apoplectic on MOD! Jim and Glen knew how to feckin defend and mix it! How we could do with some of that now.

We lost and conceded three......................that is the stark bottom line.

-
YES! IMO, failure to be realistic (you don't shop at Harrods and expect Home Bargains' prices), failure to be persuasive, failure to close the deal - there are a number of reasons, I think our recruitment process is an absolute shambles and indefensible.
-
I said on a number of occasions, weeks ago, that, IMO, our budget was to realise / save £15 to £20million in transfer dealings / wages. I've seen nor heard anything which makes me think otherwise. All we await is a couple of 'big' departures and my money is on Armstrong being first out the door.
-
Add to that the, IMO, the insignificance of our goalie coach Benson!

Mowbray in LT: Jackanory, jackanory, jackanory..................... https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/18711672.rovers-transfer-latest-european-defender-deal-collapses/ Some real pearlers in there. Despair, despair, despair.
