ROVERS v Boro

[Sparks Rover]

Funny the commentator slating Del, he's all over Bell.  

Tony is a shit manager I'm afraid. He should absolve Bell of permanemt defensive duties and play him in a 352.....

If this game has shown tony anything it’s that we’re better with 10 men than with 11 including Williams.

 

Brilliant and true

Mulgrew with the worst CB performance for us that I can remember. He simply cannot deal with the high ball.

I remember there were quite a few times last season that high balls caught Mulgrew out, but usually the opposition were too poor to capitalise. Unfortunately for him we're now at a higher level. Bloody good set piece taker but we need more than that now. We desperately need a real leader back there to sort us out when the pressure is on and organise the defence to stop conceding goals.

Bell been best player and only been on 30 mins

I'm not a big fan of Bell but Mowbray has been totally ballsing up the selections. When fit, Nyambe should be RB. Bell LB. Bennett has had is arse owned for the last few games at RB. Too often he is fitting his favourite names in at any old position. We also looked far more assured with Downing in the side (apart from a wobbly spell at Boro away). I'd happily never see Williams in a Rovers shirt again.

Bell should be a winger, end of.

If Mowbray thinks Bennett is a defender he should resign now and take up something else.

And always playing one of Evans/Smallwood when Rodwell is our best DM.

Apparently Tony's teams pass the ball?

I have a theory they are getting us mixed up with Accrington Stanley.

Yes, they are often that clueless at Sky.

[Sparks Rover]

That Mikel is class at this level

"Blackburn have had their opportunities" as the graphic shows our one attempt on target.

[Bbrovers2288]

Ref has been really really poor 

[Tom]

Bell clearly out man of the match 

[K-Hod]

Raya has had one of his best games for us in some time today.

[Tugay-is-God]

Great save to be fair

Like our Championship relegation game where for 10 mins they had no idea that a goal in another game saved us. 

I mean you've been booked and paid hansomely to work on Championship relegation day. Do your sodding research!

[Proudtobeblue&white]

Wonderful double save by him.

[Sparks Rover]

I'm not a fan of Raya, but he's looked assured and made a couple of saves to keep us in with a sniff

?

They probably think we've done well to muster 1 shot at goal, considering how woeful the entire team has been front to back.  

[Husky]

Yet more made up added time.

 

[AdamRochina]

So proud to be rover we only lost 1-0

If the subs are made at half time do they need to add extra time on?

It's crazy that. Mowbray ' 'protects' (prevents) Rodwell from playing his best role but will stick Bennett anywhere.

[Tugay's Right Foot]

Poor poor first half. What would TM say

[G Somerset Rover]

Got what we deserved after that frankly pitiful first half performance.

4 losses on the bounce and 9 in 16 now - considering that we won 4 on the bounce during that time that is hugely concerning. Worrying times.

Mowbray's time here looks up to me. Not about the tactics or recruitment, if he can't get a team up and motivated following 3 insipid defeats then he doesn't instil the necessary fear or motivation that is needed at any level.
