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.

But bombed big time with Brereton. Too many Joe Averages, Harts and Gladwins. Apart from Rothwell, I think he spunked £10million+ away last summer on Brereton, Armstrong and Davenport.

Which in my opinion tells you just our cr@p our management has been over recent times. I think you are being kind calling him 'decent' - just what facet of his management do you class as 'decent'? If you are prepared to accept 'mediocrity' - and I don't think Mowbray is even that - then you will regress.

The comparisons are as football managers. Mowbray was brought in just over two years to keep us up (his words). He failed. If he had kept us up, our position today is only marginally better than it would have been then. Therefore, our club has barely progressed. Tactically and player trading wise, there is hardly any difference between the three. Mowbray's comments and excuses, IMO, are now very similar to the desperate days of Kean and C o y l e. I don't give a feck about Mowbray's 'nice guy' image, his values or his wife's lemon drizzle cake. The bottom line is Mowbray is handsomely paid to improve and progress the footballing side of the club. IMO, we are now regressing, our football, in the main, is dire, our recent results have been appalling and the thousands and thousands of empty seats are an embarrassment. In my book he has to go and quick as I think we are going nowhere other than downwards.

I think Mowbray is morphing into Kean and C o y l e. The man has no credibility left in my view. IMO, sheer madness to keep him as manager. No, ifs and buts, I think he's clearly demonstrated he's unfit for purpose. No room for sentiment in football.

More Mowbray madness. FFS, there is no hope. He simply has to go. And @Parsonblue thinks we already have a good manager!!!

You must have got pi$$ed after a rare Rovers' win and decent performance. One swallow does not make a summer. Tonight, in the main, he picked his best players (Reed, Travis & Rothwell) instead of his 'favourites' (Evans, Smallwood) and played Reed in his best position. Rothwell was a revelation. Why has it taken so, so long for Mowbray to see sense? The contrast between Rothwell and Brereton is so stark. One has so much potential and ability (and has been held back) whilst the other, IMO, is one expensive dud (who has contributed virtually zilch to the cause) and Mowbray has spunked £7million+ away on him. Dropping Nyamble to shoehorn Bennett into the team is indefensible and further evidence that Mowbray is, IMO, not up to it. IMO, Mowbray still has to go and go quickly. We even won games under Kean and C o y l e !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Much, much better. It's simple Mowbray: You play your best players (Reed, Travis, Rothwell etc) and not your 'favourites' (Evans, Smallwood) You put your players in their best position - Reed is a central midfielder and not a feckin wide man Delighted for Rothwell. When I first saw him, it was obvious he had something, there was a spark, an energy, a creativeness. Conversely, I see nothing in Brereton. The contrast is so stark. Posted about Rothwell's potential and my opinion of Brereton (think he's a very expensive dud) so many times.

Let's hope Mowbray doesn't feck tonight up with silly tactical changes / substitutions.

So sad to see so many empty seats in Ewood.

Decent so far. No coincidence that Evans / Smallwood dropped. Rothwell looking good. First bullocks from commentator about Mowbray's football philosophy. U derwhelmed by Derby - expected more.

Think tonight might be closer than folk think. Can see goals, goals and more goals. Yep, our defence is woeful but Keogh is just one big accident waiting to happen for Derby. Think Derby can be a wee bit fragile if things not going their way. Will be interesting to see how Dack and Rothwell go together. Big negatives to me are Bennett, Williams and Conway. Gone for a scoreline similar to Derby's 3-3 at Brentford. We can't keep losing, this run has to end. Rovers to win at 19/10 by 3 goals to 2 at 34/1.

We might be cr@p and we might not get another point this season but we WONT go down - not this season anyhow! There is not a snowball's chance in hell of all four (Millwall, Reading, Wigan & Rotherham) of the potentially doomed getting 47 points or more.
