The latest Mowbray nugget, it definitely reads like he is feeling the heat to me. 

Anyone can work hard and be desperate to play. If that's his yardstick,  Benno is the PFA Player of the year...

Massive clown. Has the man management skills of David Brent. 

On another note; I had a really vivid dream last night. We lost 8-2 against Preston following which Mowbray walked......maybe its a premonition?

Were we 2-0 up with 10 minutes to go?

If the have genuine ambition and bring in players with genuine ambition the motivation should be there automatically. 

Going nowhere and shrugging shoulders accepting mediocrity as 'where we are' really won't. The gaffer and the club as a whole have to really want it and give off that vibe. The old 'never put off till tomorrow what you can do today' isn't very evident under this regime i'm afraid.

Heard it recently from a guy going 30 years. 

That he couldn’t give his season ticket away when he was on holiday so someone could go for  free. Same lad also is usually passionate but is getting bored of going and watching the stuff at ewood. 
 

Anyone else getting “bored” of ewood?

Hill's been having a rant at Bolton. I genuinely wonder what he could do with the budget Mowbray has here.

This long balling a dwarf up front whilst sticking your 6'3" marquee striker signing on the wing is beyond ridiculous now.

It serves nothing, never worked and never will chufing sick of this type of thing.

Used to be a group of circa 20 of us with season tickets, every single week I'd get messages asking if there were any spare tickets going.

Now? Literally loads of freebies floating about.

We have a hell of a lot of people who class themselves as rovers fans if asked, but no intention of attending, unless perhaps we ever get back in that poisonous league.

5 wins in 6 followed by 0 wins in 6.

All so predictable and classic Mowbray.

I don't dislike Mowbray, I don't even think he's that bad a manager overall. 

I just don't think he's a manager to take on a long term project, I think that sort of thing doesn't really exist at this level anymore, in my opinion we need some new enthusiasm, new ideas and someone who can get this lot playing as a team.

Three years is a lifetime at a club like ours these days, things have gotten stale. He went 10 games without a win at Coventry and walked stating it was embarrassing to go on that run, I don't think he'd do the same here though.
