And if they still contract it ..?

Precisely. Don't expect a coherent response.

I am on the side of fairness and common sense. Which of our players have been in Dubai ? Which of our players have broken the rules ?

Loads of them by the looks of it.

Patience has worn thin in fact very thin time for a change

Absolutely...

...no f*cking chance!

Wash your mouth out.

One win in six. Ten points from nine games. Top 6 is the target is it Tony? That ‘new voice’ you said you’d resign upon if you felt they needed it. Well - they bloody well need it.

In a heartbeat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[broadsword]

I keep on reading one day tony will go. Not interested. 

 

I want to know when venkys will go

[Stuart]

Lose the next two and I think that may be when the switch off happens until he is gone.

It’s not even good to watch!

[Mattc93]

Mowbray will spout his usual crap about ‘having good spells in the game and if we converted one of the chances we had it could have been a different game. We also had key player’s missing which makes a difference against tough sides like Swansea.’ It’s pure nonsense really given the abysmal decisions he makes. The venkys will buy into that crap though and keep throwing money at dead wood. We’re a lost cause at the moment. 

[Waggy76]

He has to go !!

Keep the dingle out of Ewood Park permanently. 

[tomphil]

Not that it'll be happening but if it did it's a real difficult time to change a manager given the circumstances.  Would probably have to be just promote Johnson although the way its going and with players in and out we could end up staring the drop in the face. Not sure he's the man for fighting that type of fire.

Might be best to just limp along and let him get us midtable again then finally for gods sake make a change. Otherwise the hamster wheel goes on and on.  The big chance has been missed this season with the odd situation making the league there for the taking.  However he's done his sales job on us and them again and again all signs are pointing to his muddled logic keeping us firmly in the middle pack.

Agreed Chaddy. But how long are you giving Mowbray? Top 6 is the aim. Getting further and further away aren’t we.

[unleaded]

All I see Johnson doing is drinking coffee while the matches are going on .. doesn’t look hungry ... Surprised TM is still here ..

I would even if he is a hobby scouser with a Dingle link seeing how he had wiggin playing football I wonder what he could do with our lot?

Probably just another one on a great little number at Ewood.  Isn't most of his job now watching vids and dealing one on one with players ?

No responsibility there.

Middlesbrough nearly went down last season , appointed Warnock for the last 8 games or so , now 5th !

We had 7 players out who most would be starting for us. 

Far too early judge yet for me.

Does he want to become next head coach?

To be fair if it's that filter stuff it does suppress your appetite

For the last 12+ months I have spent deliberating and dodging between thinking that it is all a bit stagnant, and then a result or 2 and I think it is maybe harsh to sack him, and its an endless cycle caused by the managers inability to get consistent results.

There may be some signs at the moment that get people excited, perception of attacking football always makes some people more patient, but these signs would be if the manager had been in a few weeks and we was looking for areas in which we can develop over time, not years and years into his reign.

This current style is very much style over substance, it lulls people into thinking we are competitive against the better teams, enhanced by opposition managers praising us, pundits gushing over our occasional goal gluts against poor teams, but it isnt getting us results, these better teams create a trap and we fall into it.

The situation with absences is of course not ideal but it is par for the course at the moment with an increased workload and of course a pandemic, its not just us. The absent players seemingly have got better whilst injured, Dack and Travis, fair enough, Kaminski a puzzling one as he was close apparently last weekend, Ayala has massive injury history sadly. Beyond that, Bell and Bennett are liabilities, Johnson has a few poor games for every good one, Rothwell has flattered to deceive throughout his Rovers career, and Douglas is new and had a shocker midweek.

Time is the one thing that the manager cannot think that he is owed. He has had bloody loads.

Every club is going to be having players missing with Covid or injuries we aren't the only club affected by them.

How many more years before you can judge?
