We don't fare well when we go a goal down, conversely, score first and we generally do okay.

Game's over now. Just a question how many more we can notch.

Indeed. Think Lenihan is the bigger risk - if that groin hasn't healed properly it's season finished for him. Think Mowbray has gambled here a bit as he knows our record without Lenihan.

Point I'm trying to make is it should be about togetherness. Without exception, every single member of the 1st team squad should be at Ewood on match day. Please Ayala is there.

Spot on. On match days at Ewood, every member of the first team squad including those outside the 18 named squad should be there watching and supporting. Be interesting if anyone can spot Ayala!?!?

If that team can't see off Blackpool then we might as well give up on the season now. No ifs, buts, blaming the ref etc, we MUST win. No feckin excuses Mowbray.

There are two available licences to print money today, Rovers and Minella Times in the Grand National. Bookies fancy Rovers strongly and I've a gut feeling we'll win. This Mowbray 'death spiral' has to come to an end sometime and I'm not sure just how much Blackpool will have left in the tank after their midweek 'Burnley' derby. 3-1 to Rovers with 2 to Brereton and 1 to Dack. As for the Grand National, Rachael Blackmoor is just superb and shows the men just how it should be done (have we no strikers in the Ladies' team Mowbray?) and made me a fair bob or two with her stunning Cheltenham Gold Cup win - today, I expect much the same and at 9/1 I'd go big each way.

Rhodes and Armstrong are not fit to lace the boots of either Cole or Jansen. Cole and Jansen did it at the highest level with silverware and caps to show for it - if it hadn't been for Jansen's accident, I think he would have become a Rovers' 'great' with great reserved for the likes of Shearer, Tugay etc. IMO, Rhodes was a 'flat track bully' found wanting at PL level whilst Armstrong seems to be in the same mould. Comparisons really are nonsense.

Cooper is a class act - I know someone who has worked closely with him and football wise, he rates Cooper as one of the most intelligent coaches/managers he has come across. One way or another, he'll soon be in the PL.

Think it will be disastrous if we don't go up. Nyambe, Lenihan and Rothwell will all be off for nowt. Why on earth would Lenihan want to stay here at his age knowing our squad is going to be decimated? Lenihan's next contract will almost certainly be the biggest of his career and at his age he needs to make hay whilst the sun still shines. Think it's a certainty Brereton will go with La Liga the most likely destination.

Think the only chance we have of signing him is if we get promoted. Think the lad is destined for bigger things than Rovers in PL. His performances will not have gone unnoticed.

I remember the match back in 1966/67 quite well. A big crowd on that day (pushing 30,000) with a big Coventry following. Thought we had the beating of them until Fergie did what Fergie did and stuck a real one on a Coventry player in the first half (and sent off) and it was always going to be up hill then to a good team. Think Bobby Gould netted their winner? Going for a surprise Rovers' win - we've injuries and so have they and Mowbray always seems to come up with a surprise result when he needs to take the pressure off himself.

Absolutely. A huge concern for Rovers - could finish his season. Lenihan and Van Hecke injured on international duty and with Ayala also out for goodness how much longer, defensively we look to be struggling for at least the Coventry match and very possibly Blackpool as well.

Might be wrong here but think the turning point for Garner under Kendall came in a 1-0 Rovers' win at Chesterfield in the height of winter. Seem to recall Garner netting with a header at the 'open' end. It was one bloody cold day and a treacherous journey there and back.

That brought back some memories! Simon Garner at what he did best. Sellers a superb talent - what we would give for a craftsmen like that now. Andy Kennedy wasn't great but in a different league to Gallagher. Happy times.

Mowbray himself told us in Blues 2 or 3 years ago that he was appointed to keep Rovers in the Championship - we were relegated so he failed - end of. If a roofer tells me he can fix my leaking roof but it still p1sses in then then he's failed. This is not rocket science. Would not have Dunn in any capacity. Will not forget his 'support' for Kean. As a football manager / coach, I see no track record of success with him - IMO, a failure in that field. IMO, some of the football under Mowbray has been absolute dire worse than anything I've seen in some 60 years watching Rovers.

IMO, we someone to come in and make an immediate impact. With Warnock's personality, he would do that. Just what on earth have we to lose if you think Mowbray has lost the dressing room and totally lost the plot and the evidence I see suggests to me he has. There will be some who hide behind Brereton's injury and say give him another 12 months, come September it will be give him until Christmas, come November it will be give him until after the January 2023 window and on and on and on, IMO, the feckin misery and hopelessness will go. We need change and now. Rovers need to be bold and brave and on many occasions fortune favours the brave.

Yet you still back him !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bullsh1t! IMO, none of our managers back in those days were as tactically inept as this clown. The wise ones know that you first need a half decent manager! The owners DO NOT select the players, play players out of position or set the team up with diabolical TACTICS. One person only is to blame for this tactical mess and that's, IMO, Pep Mowbray! Spot on. The wise ones amongst us don't buy, IMO, the Mowbray bullsh!t. Made no prediction today on this MB. I lost all faith with our manager after Wednesday's debacle even though we won. I think Mowbray has lost the dressing room and totally, totally lost the plot. The only good thing to come out of today is I backed Reading!!! I would sack, IMO, this absolute clown of a manager tonight and appoint Warnock until the end of the season with a £1million bonus if he gets us up.

After over 5 years in charge, if his signings / selections had played consistently well then we would be in the PL. We have yet to finish a season in the top 6 of the Championship under Mowbray after 5 years in charge. That, IMO, is not progress.

No but he signed / selected the players who did!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think it's Andy Bayes doing the interview. IMO, our local journalists lack balls and don't ask the questions they should and it's why they'll go no further than Radio Lancashire / LT. I know they have to strike the right balance but, IMO, rolling over and having your stomach tickled is spineless. Contrast with MEN journalists who are quite scathing when they think a manager's time is up at Old Trafford.

No, IMO, the players were playing for themselves and the fans. Think Mowbray's second half demeanour and post match interview said it all.

For a big part of the interview, I think Mowbray seems to be giving the 'v sign' (a Peter 'Kayism') - watch his two fingers on his forehead, never seen such a mannerism from him before. IMO, 'trouble-at-t- mill'.

You want fire and aggression from your number 9. Psychologically, it puts the fear of God into defenders. You don't need to be the greatest of players as the likes of Andy Lochhead and Joe Jordan etc showed.

I think he might well have 'lost the dressing room' and he wont like that one little bit. If he has, he's finished.
