That said, when you look at how we wasted some quality players (King, Cairney, Judge) to play our system whilst constantly having the likes of Williamson, Evans, Lowe, Akpan and other assorted hangers on in the middle of the park. What a wasted opportunity. 3 Quote

We tended to score plenty, he just didn't seem to really know how to do anything beyond setting us up as a standard 442, even when it clearly didn't suit some of our more talented players. I can count the number of games that we genuinely controlled on one hand, it was just a case of get it to a winger who can then cross it to Rhodes/Gestede. No wonder we used to concede so many late on. 3 Quote
riverholmes Posted February 22, 2022 Posted February 22, 2022 It's really surprising that they gave him the captaincy, as a new signing. As useful as he can be, at times, especially, in a defensive side, they didn't do their homework. Last season's experienced quartet of Downing, Holtby, Bennett and Evans were all, arguably, kept on at Rovers for too long. Mowbray wanted Bennett to stay, with Johnson, and there's a case for retaining experience, but not when they're failing to perform or stay fit. 1 Quote

Have to say though it was probably the most boring period in all my time watching Rovers. You could predict what was going to happen virtually every game and we seemed to draw all the time. That's why it was so frustrating to see it creep back similarly with Mowbrays sideways and backwards experiment. 1 Quote
Backroom DE. Posted February 23, 2022 Backroom Posted February 23, 2022 Bowyer had a major blind spot when it came to central midfield. If there was anything that sabotaged his tenure it was his inability or unwillingness to give us a half-decent central midfield pairing. 1 Quote
