All this training venue bollox is just an excuse for the entire club under performing.

all this muscle pulling astro turf charade is a load of horse****,did oldham,luton,qpr and preston all come down with muscle strains when they played competetive 1st team   football on artificial pitches??,you should`nt be flogging players in training anyway at this stage of the season,they should be just keeping up their fitness levels with a lot of  2 games a week just round the corner

We must have some of if not the best training facilities in the country, never mind the Championship. 

Why then when it freezes are we seemingly unique in having to go and train on our home pitch and in doing so cause further significant damage to an already poor surface?

All about the excuses. Get beat tomorrow and he'll blame the weather affecting preparations and the poor Ewood surface.

All starts with a lack of investment and penny pinching. If Ewood had been maintained properly we would be able to cope with a busy schedule and training on it a few days.

Very impressed with Barnsley. A well drilled team playing good football.

How many muscle strains, pulls, tears, hamstrings have we had during game time on grass this season and last?

It's hogwash.

One of Rocks great anthems should not be bastardised in any way, for or against a non-entity like Mowbray.

Please.

Don’t take this personally because it’s certainly not meant, but I did find it amusing for an anonymous person on t’interweb describing a bloke who probably millions could name at first glance as being a nonentity! 😀

Millions could name Mowbray at first glance?

Give over, you're taking the piss, but in a funny way.

What being anonymous on the internet has got to do with the price of shit in toronto is however beyond me.

It's how message boards work, like when you post your opinion.

Get it?

He’s been on telly and in the papers for the last 40 years! When his name first popped up as our manager, how many on here said “who’s that?” His mug is one of the most recognizable in football.

Makes a change from the daily local bitching though 😏

Another day, another stupid statement from Mowbray (I know I shouldn't read them).

https://www.lancs.live/sport/football/football-news/blackburn-rovers-douglas-praise-mowbray-19818400

"Not because of what we do, but because of what Leeds did. He's had to acclimatise away from the black and whiteness of Leeds United really, I think. But he's a good lad, he's got wonderful attributes and great feet, a good technician.

Leeds have one of the most revered coaches in world football and play great football but he had to acclimatise away from the " black and whitness" (whatever that means) of Leeds.

 

[Mattyblue]

As in, Leeds had a set way of playing and footballers that knew their roles that led to them winning a lot of football matches?

Obviously voodoo stuff that to the sages down Brockhall...

That's what I thought too. So he is a good lad, wonderful attributes, great feet and a good technician and it only took Mowbray a week or two to knock it out of him and acclimatise because up until recently I saw pretty much the opposite of Mowbrays bullshit.

It takes a while to get used to being in the shit-show that is Blackburn Rovers at the moment.

That is an odd statement, what does he mean by the black and whiteness of Leeds? 

[tomphil]

I'm actually surprised he hasn't yet blamed the change in colour of shirts for one or two !

 

It's also psycho babble from him these days anyway.

Mowbray himself hasn't got a clue what it means. How would us mere mortals know what he is on about ?

I think Matty nailed it in an earlier post but Mowbray doesn't realise it's quite a disparaging comment against him and his coaches.

He's getting more odd with each passing week.

[AllRoverAsia]

''Acclimatise away from ...'' - is that even possible? Surely when moving ( Country, house, car, job etc etc) you acclimatise to the new environment.

''Black and white'' - I think the suggestion there is that Leeds play a simple system easy to understand but ours is complex. I need a GIF for that one.

Does Mowbray not realise that it is Newcastle in black and white not Leeds.

He need to get away from the clarity of coaching at Leeds into the Rovers grey area of do what you want.
