a couple of digs at the fans??

Isn't he moaning at the likes of Rich Sharpe making perceived negative comments?

Not like the fans are getting on his back in empty stadiums - I'm assuming he doesn't come on here.

I've had a quick look on the Brentford Forum. No-one is demanding Frank's head. One was bemoaning bully boy tactics Brentford can't overcome. Another, Shamrock Bee posted this line, amongst others 

"We're on a great journey and I can also take or leave us being a PL club, but I'd love to see us achieve it for MB"

Had Brentford ever been in the PL, no fan of theirs would ever talk like this.

What has a team chasing automatic promotion and losing an odd game as they do so, a totally normal turn of events, got to do with a team in their standard position of mid table chasing nothing in particular?

“I understand Blackburn Rovers historically should be fighting in the Premier League, well, there’s a lot of teams who would say that. "

I bet he didn't dare say that in his job interview.

Mowbray referred to Brentford in the article asking how their fans regarded losing two on the bounce.

Feels like it would be too good to be true, but from TM's comments himself, there is pressure coming from someone, somewhere.

But if we saw the removal of SW firstly; that is one step forward in any circumstance.

The mere fact that TM practically recommended his mate for the job has never sat right with me, despite the decent job I  think SW has done. But where is TM's accountability?

Here's hoping 🙏

I know. My point being, he shouldn’t even be comparing this non competing mess of a side to a progressive, automatic promotion chasing team in the first place.

Especially when those 2 defeats came after a 21 game unbeaten run in the league. 

Not big on context is he?

According to him we're unfortunate not to be scoring 5 a game. In reality I could count the decent chances we've created in the past few matches on one hand.

 Decent chances - Probably on one finger

He's got a big steel barrier in front of him. #freetonymowbray.

it does`nt matter to me what division we are in,the only expectations i have are a side that gives 100% with some semblence of defensive capability and some attacking intent,at the moment all we are seeing is a complete disorganised mess,with players running around with no idea of what their job is,that`s the managers job to tell them what to do is`nt it??

[Ewood Ace]

Earlier in the season it was because Dack was injured, then it was Brereton and Travis and now the excuse is that it is Ayala injured (whoever could have foreseen that). Lots of excuses not ideas. Mowbray Out!

Daniel Ayala the figure that can remedy Blackburn Rovers defensive woes - LancsLive

I don't even know where to begin with this: https://t.co/3d3t8LK7RB?amp=1

Please help me as I have lost or  made up a season. Apparently we only moved away from the Dack / Graham combo this season but I distinctly remember last season when Graham hardly played and Dack was injured for half of it. Did I just make that up or imagine it? 

 

He's losing the plot. It's a poor do to reset the clock 4 years in, and an even poorer do to lie about when the reset was. 

His digs at the fans, his ludicrous comparison with Brentford (who don't have the habit of spunking money on a non scoring striker), his statistics about entries into the box - it's Kean-esque. Totally lost the plot and fast losing integrity. Every day it gets worse and worse what he says.

Yeah I was being generous. As was I with the 'few games' reference. We've been utter sh*te for months and months. The January victories didn't fool me. We were sh*te then too.

I thought Aussies had a sense of humour.

Not even bothering to comment on today's words from TM he should have gotten in the cab......

[Moptop1]

Maybe that’s why Tony is making his ‘digs’. If Waggot is leaving, he has lost his ‘support’ bubble. Just a thought.

Him and HSH will be the selection panel for Waggots replacement if it's true he's retiring.

[Exiled in Toronto]

For a big ugly bruiser of a centre half, he’s remarkably thin-skinned. Maybe it’s the combination of another season in mid-table coupled with his “boss” taking early retirement that has him rattled. He desperately needs a new narrative for a new boss who he won’t get to pick, hence resetting the journey clock. Expect a new theme tune to tune out to: “We’ve only just begun” by the Carpenters.

To be fair, it’s either dig at the fans, or acknowledge his own failings....

[Darrenbot]

If we'd been top of the league and lost 2 games we wouldn't be moaning either,it's because we havent been in touching distance of the top of the league and been stuck outside of theplayoffs since we got back into the championship,maybe he'd be better comparing us with Bristol City or Cardiff who changed their manager when they could see them going nowhere while we are stuck trading water i 8-12 position while the manager has his mate as a boss and the owners who seem to have been hoodwinked by him into thinking we're doing well to be suck here looking up at the top 6.

[tomphil]

His comparisons to Brentford fans are just his usual waffle like after they'd beaten us once and he said they were the model we wanted to follow. Then chucked them Raya for 3 mill not long after he'd spent 7 million on one young player and 5 million on another.

Not really the model fans had in mind.

[tomphil]

Hmmm..
