I struggle to see how Waggott has moved Rovers forward. IMO, there have been too many expensive crass decisions which as CEO, he must have signed off on.

and to think many on here espouse the virtues of Mowbray and Waggott. I think dumb and dumber would be a more apt description.

Agree. Would be an uninspiring signing. Brereton, Gallagher at a total of £12million+. We need a manager who knows how to work the market.

Just read that United are now "very close" to signing Matthijs de Ligt and are also looking at Benfica's Felix who would also cost tens of £millions. I think to link Dack with United is totally absurd and can only think that sadly you've listened too much to the likes of Kean, Coyle and Mowbray over the years!

IMO, a mentally and physically fit Dack is a very good Championship player. Rhodes scored goals for fun at Rovers but, IMO, has failed miserably since leaving. When we first signed Rhodes and he scored a few goals, some on here were lauding him as the new Shearer - it was nonsense. I always thought his lack of pace, aggression and physicality would prevent him from hacking it in the PL - in fact, I think he's now struggling at Championship level. I see similar hype where Dack is concerned, however, IMO, his lack of pace and an indifferent attitude will prevent Dack from even getting to the PL never mind hacking it at that level. When at Rovers, for most of the time, I thought Rhodes made the most of what he had in his locker - sadly, I don't think that could be said about Dack.

Think someone is winding you up! I will be very surprised if ANY PL club takes a chance on Dack. IMO, overpriced, overweight and overrated.

Raya would have to go for me. When I first saw him 3 or 4 seasons ago, I thought we had a real prospect on our hands. However, two full seasons as our number one and in my mind he's not developing / improving as he should and as good young goalies do. If anything, I think he's going backwards. IMO, we also need an experienced goalie coach who's done it and got the tee shirt. IMO, the community trust, where I think Benson started at Carlisle, is Benson's level. Pay peanuts and you get monkeys. IF we sign Joe Hart, can anyone really imagine Benson coaching him!

Do you have to defend Mowbray all the time like he's Pep? Tedious. You miss the point. Yes the lad is outstanding and has developed because he was given the chance by Klopp as an 18 year old and played in the Champions League Final as a 19 year old. In my opinion, Mowbray sucks the oxygen out of our young player development. He talks about Reed as a 'kid' at 23/24 with things to learn and in the main played him out of position when he wasn't on the bench. He describes the 19 year old Brereton as an 'amazing' talent who he's paid £7million+ for but wont feckin play him. He's had countless opportunities to 'blood' other 'youngsters' like Buckley and Butterworth (19 years old) but they've been lucky to even smell the bench. Travis is 21 and only just been given his chance but under forced circumstances. Nyambe is 21 and, IMV, the best right back at the club by a country mile but Mowbray has persisted with Bennett who's been roasted so many times this season. You can go on and on. If I was representing any young talent, I'd advise them to give Rovers and Mowbray a very wide berth.

Doubt the lad wouldn't have got a look in with Mowbray as his manager - far too young and inexperienced at 20 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's simple - if you are good enough you are old enough. The way Mowbray holds back our young talent is, IMO, absurd. Brererton with his 'amazing talent'. Reed is better away from our club - rarely played in his best position. Rothwell given his chance 6 months too late and only in forced circumstances. Bennett over Nyambe! Travis on verge of going out on loan until Mowbray forced to play him. You could go on and on and on. Anyhow great stuff Liverpool. They play exciting football and Klopp deserves a trophy for his refreshing approach. Will be no surprise if City slip at Brighton and let Liverpool in for the PL.

Really? Don't think any recent scouting reports will read well. You only need to read the comments on hereabouts Dack following the Norwich match. You can have all the ability in the world butility if a player'so attitude isn't right!?!? Can't see too many, if any, managers rushing to see their CEO this morning asking to sanction an outlay of £15m+ on Dack over 4 years (fee, wages & NI).

Behave? I see a player who, IMO, has suffered a chronic loss of form and is physically and mentally unfit. As with Jordan Rhodes, I think a lack of pace will prevent Dack progressing much further At this point in time, I would bite off any hand offering £5m.

I think we need a minimum of six new players. Six additions who can go straight in and make an impact. A goalkeeper, centre back, left back, winger with real pace, central midfielder and a striker. I don't think Mowbray can pull that off. His player trading suggests to me he neither has an eye for a player nor the contacts. Huge question mark over Dack. Does he really want to be here? Other than the Derby game, IMO, his performances in recent times suggest he doesn't. The problem is his value will have collapsed like a pack of cards. Can't see any club coughing up much more than £5m. Venky's and Mowbray might want £15million to £20million but that boat sailed a long time ago. Good clubs and operators know when to sell - Bob Lord at Burnley was a master at it.

I think we need to roll the dice. Changing a manager is a risk for any club, even Manchester United as they've found to their cost. I will not buy any season tickets for the family whilst this, IMO, dinosaur of a manager remains at our club. In the main, I think our football is dreadful and I am sick and tired of what I think is b 0 l l0cks and bullsh1t from Mowbray. I think his comments and excuses are now right up there with what we used to hear from Kean and C o y l e.

Think Mowbray is clearly deluded and his bullsh1t is an affront to the supporters. IMO, an old school manager who even at his best was no better than average. Think we rescued him from the scrapheap. He's been well rewarded but is now in decline and it's time to say bye bye. I think we are miles away from being an organised, effective and cohesive team with a clear identity and footballing philosophy. A developing team does not take the number of hammerings, or horror shows, we've had this season. At times, scorelines have flattered us, as yesterday when we could have lost by at least three more goals without complaint. IMO, would be a huge mistake to give Mowbray another transfer window and season.

What a world of difference a half decent manager makes. We've seen the contrast over the season with both Farke and Mowbray with very different progressions. IMO, we need to change our manager to make REAL progress. Full stop.

Let's hope we are the cockatiels who ruffle the canaries' feathers. Nothing to fear. Think Norwich have rode their luck a bit but full marks to them and Farke who have shown what can be achieved with decent organisation, tactics and team spirit. Interesting how many late goals they've scored in stark comparison to how many late goals we've conceded. Players who readily come to mind who'very played for both sides including the good, the bad and the ugly! Chris Sutton, Tim Sherwood, Malcolm Darling, Bryan Conlon, Martin Olson, Craig Bellamy, Ashley Ward, Elliott Ward / Bennett, Simon Jackson, Jordan Rhodes, Grant Hanley nd Chris Brown! I'm going for five on the bounce with a 3-1 Rovers' win. New contract for Mr Lemon Drizzle Cake please! Yep, hit the red wine early today!

Lots of memories of Bolton games. The March evening match in the early 1970's at Burnden Park when Faz nicked it for us at the Lever End in front of nearly 30,000. Made a mistake of going into the Lever End once - there were some big, hard and nasty lads in there. Also remember a Saturday Ewood match, again in the early 1970's, when hundreds of the Bolton lot arrived very early doors in Blackburn town centre and absolutely ran amok. Had the misfortune of seeing Ian Greaves' Bolton clinch promotion back to the First Division (now PL) at Ewood (late 1970's). There must have been 25,000 on Ewood from Bolton that night. In fairness, it was a bloody good Bolton side (Big Sam, Frank Worthington, Willie Morgan, Roy Greaves, Tony Dunne etc) and although only 1-0 it really was men against boys even though we had some decent lads ourselves (Waggy, John Bailey, Graham Hawkins, Keeley, Tony Parkes, a fading John Radford). I remember when the teams came out, Bolton had Frankie boy up top whilst we had Jack Lewis a £10,000 signing from Grimsby partnering Raddy - just didn't fancy us! Anyhow, on to Monday. We will batter them. Only question is by how many. I'm going for Rovers 4-1. Hope at least two of Brereton, Buckley and Butterworth get a start.

Always nice to win but think today was a wasted opportunity for Mowbray. What can he have learnt. Many know we need a new goalie, many know Smallwood is pants, many know we defend better without Charlie, many know Rothwell and Travis are 'must starts'. Perhaps Mowbray isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer and it takes time to sink in. The management of Brereton is, IMO, a feckin disgrace. How is Mowbray developing the lad? Five minutes here, five minutes there is, IMO, utter shite. I think Mowbray wont play him because he's afraid a run of games might just show he's dropped a real b 0 l l 0 c k in signing him and he's delaying the bad news for the Venky's for as long as he can. I think the fact that at least one of Chapman, Nyambe, Magloire, Buckley or Butterworth didn't start the match, and Brereton only got 5 minutes, tells you that Mowbray is not one to develop young talent. I do not think Mowbray's selections augur well for the summer and next season. To me, he's just deluding himself.

We are a very, very average Championship team. You make it sound we are like Barca, Real, City etc who are exploding with quality in depth.

Boring and predictable selection. If I was a youngster at Ewood I would despair. I think Reed will be glad to be out of it, Brereton must be wondering how permanently sitting on the bench is helping his development and Chapman will be thinking wtf. As for the likes of Nyambe, Magloire, Butterworth and Buckley, what is the point? Do us all a favour Mowbray and just clear off - go and enjoy copious quantities of your wife's lemon drizzle cake. I think you are killing our club - it's stagnation at best.

Mowbray's LT article on Reed just demonstrates, IMO, why he should no longer be our manager. I think it's just b 0 l l 0 c k s and bullsh1t. If Mowbray had managed England, there's no way the 'young' Bobby Moore would have been lifting the World Cup in 1966 having just turned 25 (only about 7 months older than Reed is now)!!!

We should be on a roll. Fully expect two comfortable wins against QPR and Bolton. Hope Mowbray now realises we are much better on the front foot and it's best to let the opposition worry about us instead of dressing them up as Barca or Real. Mowbray needs to give the young players their head. Play them and tell them to go out enjoy and show the footballing world what they can do, Time to give the likes of Nyambe, Magloire, Davenport, Chapman, Buckley, Butterworth and Brereton some serious game time.

Forest tomorrow will be far tougher than Derby. They will be far more physical and aggressive. I very much doubt we will be able to handle them. I would go with the same team other than Nyambe for Bennett. Think we will be well beaten tomorrow by at least two goals - it could get embarrassing.

Didn't Jason Lowe captain England U21's!? Enough said. For that money, we could have signed the likes of Pukki with plenty of change left over. Also, think Brum paid less than Armstrong's fee for Adams. Just feel for £1.75m we could have done much, much better.

Think Armstrong has one asset and that's his pace. IMO, does not have a football brain and has a very poor touch. Think we paid way, way over the top at £1.75million - as far as I could see, we were the only club in for him at that price which tells you something. IMO, not a championship player.
