Meanwhile, on another clubs messageboard: "But Blackburn got BD for 750k, Rodwell on a free, Armstrong for about a million, and DG for a reasonable price. And they're now 8th in the league.

Whilst I definitely acknowledge that he will need replacing sooner rather than later, I am honestly starting to think that even if Graham saved you from drowning, you'd complain that he didn't manage

There are too many people in Blackburn who are only happy when they are moaning or angry. Mowbray is doing a very decent job at Rovers. He has turned the club around in all the ways traditio

I don't know why but I find the potential of a Gallagher return quite cathartic. I remember the sight of him throwing himself in to everything in the last game for us, and the shot of him in the tunnel watching the end of the Birmingham game to see our fate confirmed. He had a home club to fall back on but he was playing for the shirt he had on at the time.

In a sense it feels like Mowbray getting the chance to replay that season from the start and doing it his way - and right now it's working wonders. Plus hoovering up all these England youth players isn't to be sniffed at, I guess. Yes, yes, paying for "potential" and all that but we're in a good position so if they're willing to buckle down, work hard and wait for their chance to shine then why not?

No need for that Stuart. 

The board has been extremely amicable and getting back to the old days in recent weeks.

Disagreements, banter but nothing personal, and it has been noted by others.

The challenge now is to keep it that way.

Where have you heard that about Nuttall? I really hope you are wrong. 

Why that's exactly what he needs, a good run in a team. To be tested at a decent level and see how he has matured. If Gallagher comes in then he should go on loan somewhere until the end of the season.

Send Brereton. He is the one that needs game time and confidence. Excited if we get Gallagher back. Always thought he gave 100% when he was last here.

Tbh that's what they both need but we need some cover. I'd be happy for either to go

Agree about gallagher. Good pro and a good player that will only get better

Not, really. We only lost by a goal and had chances to win it. 

I will admit that if we played our first choice 11 we would have probably won and if we really needed to win the game we should have. 

Look anyway, we all now know it was part of Mowbrays long plan for this season... 

We did really need to win. Promotion was secured, and a win was crucial to winning a league title!

It was mainly the attitude of Mowbray pre-match. He seemed like it wasnt that big of a deal. Blackburn Rovers winning a league title, not that big of a deal.

The most puzzling aspect of the side he picked was that it wasnt even one with this season in mind. Token starts to Caddis as a wing back after months on the sidelines and also Payne as a false 9 with Graham on the bench were bizarre.

I was disappointed when I saw the team, but I got over it pretty quickly and it hadn't bothered me since. 

Give me 2nd in league 1 and our current position ahead of the league 1 title and where Wigan are now any day of the week.

Why does it still matters?

The aim of last season was promotion. It was achieved. Winning the league title doesnt have affect on this season does it?

Where are Wigan now?

To be honest promotion was all that mattered last season. Just like this season. First, second or through the play offs. I couldn't care less which one.  Anyone of them will be mission accomplished. Just like last season. 

Does anyone care that we didn't win division 1 under Souness? 

Anyway, these conversations are ultimately pointless. What's done is done, it's water under the bridge now.

At the end of the day, nobody wants to be competing for the league 1 trophy. 

Those who claim its important-name the last 10 winners. Actually who won it the season before Wigan? I am sure Rotherham have won a few, Burton too. I just don't care. It's a nothing trophy. The prize is promotion. 

We should be looking up, not down.

What sort of hypothetical situation is that? It only has any meaning if winning the league has any knock on effect the season after. It doesnt. The argument is seperate to both getting promoted, as that was already secured, and anything to do with this season.

Guess it rankles more when you pay to travel down to London, and for a ticket.

I dont understand it at all. We do not win any league titles very often. Its not dismissing the overall good job Mowbray has done so I dont understand the defensive nature of these posts. It is also not a scathing criticism of finishing 2nd being not good enough. Promotion is irrelevant to the argument, at that point it was guaranteed. It is about NOT BEING THAT BOTHERED as to whether we won the league or not. There was a week and a half of the season to go, 2 more pushes and we could have been champions.

And @chaddyrovers it was brought up by someone who is defending Mowbray for it, lets be clear.

Neither does winning the premier league in 95. What's your point

At the start of the season we couldn’t have realistically hoped to be much better than we are now, top 8, closing in on the top 6.

As Mowbray says, we don’t need a radical overhaul, but I think the owners could make a statement of intent by:

1) Finding the money to get Reed on a permanent.

2) Give Rodwell a long term contract. He could be a massive player for us for years to come. Still young for a centre back.

3) Sign Chapman and Gallagher.
