Found Mowbray's remarks in LT quite staqgering 'highly unlikely' he's quoted as saying. What a way to prepare for a key match tomorrow - if I was a player I'd be thinking 'this fecker's given up why the feck should I bother and put my body and possibly career on the line'.

You start him then pull him off when we are winning a game and in control as opposed to chasing a game and expecting Dack to continually come to the rescue from the bench.

Got a few connections to PNE with family, friends etc. Consensus is they will be up for it more than us and they are unusually confident about the outcome of this fixture. Think that tells you quite a bit about Rovers' dire form etc. I'll keep my powder dry until I see what team the Mowbray tombola generates! Think we might nick a draw and go unbeaten for the rest of the season but sadly it will be too little too late - Mowbray has a habit of finishing the season well when results mean nothing but no doubt it impresses that lot in Pune!

I was also on that night. Particularly remember the 2nd half as we attacked the 'Town End' and if I recall we missed a couple of great chances including hitting the bar when I thought it was easier to score. We didn't score many but was amazed we couldn't notch one, and what would have been a 'golden goal', with Garner and Crawford up front and Burke (think he was a 1 goal in 5 man for us), Kendall and Speight all capable of weighing in from midfield. Know how you must have felt in the Red House but I met Burke on several occasions when his football career was over and he came across as a very decent lad.

This is such a sh1t league anything could happen.

It's all down to Mowbray. Who signs the players, selects the team, sets the tactics, motivates or otherwise the players. The buck stops with him. No one else is to blame. You would see a different response with a Neil Warnock type in charge.

I think Lowe is a real oddball - seen more life in a dead sheep.

Sorry for all the Rovers' fans there today, even the 'Happy Clappers'. Words simply fail me. Time for some medicine - given a bottle of Prunotto Barolo for Easter, let's see what it's like!

I have! Backed Rovers to win in my main bet and got a tenner on Maja anytime scorer at 3/1 and a fiver on 3-1 scoreline at 21/1.

Just had a lovely lunch, enjoying the sunshine and even more so a few Bowland beers (going through their great selection). Everything seems great today so I've even put a few quid on a Rovers' win at just better than evens. This miserable run has to end sometime and why not today. Sadly, feels like my heart is ruling my head.

Saw him in either his first game for us or one of his first games and he put in some terrific balls. Cue Tony to p1ss him about by playing him out of position and now, IMO, we have a p1ssed off player. You can't really blame Giles. Think we have a real clown as a manager.

Coupled with the fact the opposition have now sussed us out and there's no credible plan b.

TBH Chris I wouldn't go if it was free admission! I know a number of people who feel exactly the same way. Personally, I've had enough of Mowbray and, IMO, his managerial shenanigans and I wont be at Ewood again until he's gone.

Get things right Chris! Firstly, I did not push for Neil - I merely stated that folk I knew with good PNE connections believed he would become Rovers' manager which I think he nearly did! Others on here have posted Neil was interviewed by Rovers back in April last year with some saying he turned us down! As for Bruce and WBA if you have nothing better to do then troll through all the stuff on the subject at the time!

Managers and directors get an easy ride at Ewood these days. Think you've been around long enough to remember when the crowd knew a manager's time was up and feelings were well and truly vented both in the ground and in Nuttall Street and more often that not, it brought action. These days I think most supporters just shrug their shoulders in Mowbrayesque fashion. The supporters get the management team they generally deserve.

Don't be such a bloody drama queen. I think we need a change of manager, and have done so since Mowbray oversaw our relegation to League One, and keep carrying on with Mowbray is akin to continually taking paracetamol for a headache that wont go away and a refusal to go to the doctors only to discover when it's too late that you have a terminal brain tumour.

Think Neil will do a great job for Sunderland. Read somewhere he's taken 22 points from his first 11 games in charge. Would take him any day of the week over Mowbray. Others have posted on here that Rovers spoke with Neil last April about taking over.......Think You'll find in the fullness of time he came close to taking over from Mowbray. As for Bruce and break clause, I think you'll find I posted at the time of his appointment he'd be gone if WBA not promoted this season!

Things will change when the fans vent their feelings about Mowbray and vote with their feet and cash. Think the supporters get the club they deserve. For goodness sake, put the man under pressure.

Think you live in a fantasy world. Think Rovers are fecked which is due in no small part, IMO, to the gross mismanagement of Mowbray, Venus and Waggott.

I hope we get spanked - anything to finish, IMO, the turgid tenure of Mowbray and Venus. Sadly, I expect Rovers to win to raise false hope and prolong the agony. Book your holidays because I think our season will end on Sat 7 May at Brum if not before.

Dyche v Mowbray is a no brainer. Sadly, I think football boardrooms are littered with moronic and vacuous non entities not even capable of running a bath let alone a football club.

Tosh!? IMO, next season will be a success if we stay out of the bottom three - I think that will be Mowbray's legacy. 8 to 10 signings is not evolution or strategic planning, it's either revolution or sheer desperation because you've fecked up so much! We stand to lose Nyambe, Lenihan, Hecke, Rothwell, Brereton. Imagine if Liverpool lost Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk, Konate, Henderson and Salah. If that's a 'freshen up' then God knows what you are smoking. I think it will emerge in time how close Mowbray came to joining WBA in Feb.; I think the timing was all wrong and there were too many complications otherwise he wouldn't be here now. Many said at the time, Bruce had signed an 18 month contract - I think it will become clear there are break clauses and the only way Bruce would stay at WBA is if he got them up this season. I stand by that and would bet a small fortune on Mowbray rocking up at WBA in only a few weeks' time.

No I feckin didn't. When the post was vacant, not once did I say we should appoint Coyle. Full stop.

You don't half spout some shite. Not once did I promote Coyle for the manager's job at Rovers. Get your facts right before you have a pop at anyone.

When the local press start getting a bit critical about Mowbray then you know his time is up. I always remember a home match in April last year when I thought both Bayes and Gallacher were unusually critical pre match - this was the time when speculation was rife that Mowbray was heading for the exit door. Now we have Sharpe calling out Mowbray: Mowbray’s comments of Peterborough ‘not threatening our goal for 80 minutes’ were disingenuous. Were it not for a fingertip Thomas Kaminski save, and poor finishes from Sam Szmodics and Kwame Poku, Posh could have had two or three goals in the first half. Make no mistake, if and when (and it looks almost certainly 'when') Mowbray leaves in the next few weeks, IMO, we will be left in a real 'Coyleyesque' mess. Our three best defenders all likely to be gone - Lenihan and Nyambe for feck all and Hecke back to Brighton. Rothwell almost certainly will be gone again for nowt. Brereton will look at what's left and, IMO, think feck this for a game of soldiers, I'm off. Whilst I think Dack is really struggling and may never get back to anywhere his best - if he does, I think he'll be another who's off. Khadra will go back to Brighton. Just where does that leave us? I think Mowbray's 5year+ journey will have taken us absolutely nowhere - even gone backwards. Some of us have never rated Mowbray and sadly, I think we will have been proven right. I've never bought the Mowbray line as a 'humble man of integrity'. IMO, Mowbray, Venus and Waggott will have almost ruined our club - I think at best it's incompetence on an industrial scale. I very much doubt that Jack Walker would have given any of those three the time of day.
