Another two conceded. Another atrocious performance. He needs to go, regardless of today’s result which will paper over the cracks big time for the rose tinted brigade.

In Venkys eyes, that's him safe till the new year.

"6 points from 9. That's top 6 form Madame"

[Tom]

That could be a hugely damaging win, he really should walk but his decency is greatly exaggerated 

[Stuart]

That late goal means nothing to me. Mowbray looked a dead man walking at 2-2 and a late free kick (which Arma did well to buy) doesn’t change that.

Having to score three to get past Barnsley isn’t good enough. Conceding after making all his subs too.

 The crowd very nearly turned too and they will next time.

Mowbray out.

Hang on. How does the late goal mean nothing ? At the start of this month Mowbray was criticised because we never won games late on; now we are making a habit of it.

So do you think Mowbray is the man to take us forward, yes or no?

The point is clearly that, yes we won but it’s not good enough and there’s been enough evidence that a change is needed

I think he's more likely than another Venkys appointment. Why would a Rovers fan not be thrilled by another late winner ?

Ive never known such a subdued crowd after a late win...

Well i I wasn't that "thrilled" that I used to be. It also the matter how you win games. Today we struggled yet again, and today at was against the worst team in the league. We concede 2 goals (again) and Barnsley are for the most part of the game the better side. So the reason I am not too thrilled is that we were lucky to beat the bottom side in the league and the upcoming games are against much better teams. And nothing seems to change.

Mowbray a lucky man tonight. That 3rd goal saves his blushes and likely sees the circus carry on for a few more weeks.

Obvious to anyone watching that game that we are a team in big trouble with a manager out of ideas. A competent executive structure would be highly alarmed by this afternoon, Waggott will be toasting the win knowing him and his mate are safe a while longer.

Nine years and counting on the Loon gravy train. They really are fucking clueless. I wish my career path had led me to manage our club in their tenure!

Comment from Rovers twitter feed  - 3 points for Rovers in an absolute thriller at Ewood Park.

They really must think we are thick.

I feel the same. It's the bigger picture. The watching sides make light work of our right hand side, week in, week out. The watching us concede possession cheaply. The watching us kick the ball out of play. The lack of belief. The lack of fight. The lack of intensity. The lack of balance. The subs on 60 minutes regardless of the game or the score. The taking off of Rothwell moments after he opened up the opposition but keeping Armstrong on when he had been a passenger all half. The square pegs in round holes and watching another poor side outfight us, give more effort than us and show more team spirit than us.

 

That late winner didn't give me a glimmer of hope that it was anything other than papering over a shed-load of massive cracks.

Mowbray did look like dead man walking and a man ready to quit. 

I agree the crowd was close to turning. Booing.and chants of Mowbray sort it! 

Yes we do need a change but I want to win games. Before and during games we(me and people i go with) were discussing Mowbray future and saying its change for a manager as he cant take us into the top 6. We discusss Gareth Ainsworth, Damien Johnson and Nigel Pearson for the job.

We want to win at the end of the day whether we want a change of manager or not

Funny that. When we lose it’s all about the performance levels.

I'm glad you said that. Now, be honest, in all of those 55 years can you remember us being so bad and, if so, when?

Yes he is such a hypocrite he is very dislikeable. Maybe Ewood has a way of doing that to people.
