Not so sure him and tone come as a pair wouldn’t surprise me if we’ve had if he goes I go

Then tell him to feck off and he gets nothing.

Waggott will do what he's told to do!

That is closer to the truth than you know...😉

Not too sure Barr would want to leave his position due to the success of his team. DJ not the manager to take us forward not even on a temporary basis.

Why anyone would want to upset the team even more than it is with 5 games in the month when looking at it realistically we can only expect a return of 3 points is beyond me. Rovers still need 12 points to ensure safety and again that looks a hard prospect.

 

Barr and Johnson could fill in for one match, two at the most.

There are enough managers out there who would walk over broken glass for Rovers' opportunity.

But hold on a minute everyone- I thought that when Dack and Travis came back, we’d be flying up the table. 
Oh right, that didn’t happen did it?....

I think you're mixed up. Its Holtby and Johnson we're missing. When they're back and playing every week we will be unstoppable.

It's genuinly pathetic how he keeps moving the goalposts on why we aren't winning. He really is shameless.

We have missed Johnson to be fair, but let's not pretend that Holtby makes a huge difference. Not a guy I would want in a releagtion battle either. He has been such a disappointing signing. Mowbray is shameless with his spin

The LT section is probably one guy with several accounts.

Wonder if he works in the Ewood area...?

Never a truer word said, Chaddy. We argue back and forth on here and there but Rovers fans are powerless. 

I think that, ultimately, is why we all feel so frustrated. 1 point in seven, 16 in 18. We're going backwards all the time...yet nothing will happen unless India decides it will.

I've said before it's like being in an airliner were the flight crew are locked in the cockpit and their oxygen system isn't working. Will the plane crash or will the flight crew wake up first. In the real life version the plane crashed, just saying.

Even Johnson, when he’s on a good day he’s a good player to have in the team but he’s still very inconsistent. He’s either an unstoppable battering ram or he’s slow and stuck in the mud and takes far to long to play the simplest of passes. Suggesting either have a huge baring on our current plight is like you say, shameless from Tony.

The cricket might not be on that long.

The India v. India one day series will also be held in Pune at the back end of March after the test and T20 games, so don’t expect our owners to be too bothered about BRFC with all this cricket on.

Half the passengers will be saying 'no its OK we ain't going to crash. We have some able captains on board. We're still on a journey.

Missed him in different ways too though. A bit of physicality. With Travis so badly out of form, it made it even more noticeable.

Banner opportunity? 

I don't want things to descend into Kean out levels. As I actually think Mowbray is an ok fella, but stubborn and a bit deluded. Kean was a crook.

But the owners refusal to make decisions pushes people into trying in whatever way to make their voices heard. 

[PeteJD13]

I’ve said it before apart from Mowbray questioning his own position, there are no leaks to suggest he’s off. There was whispers about bowyer and Coyle, I think another 2/3 losses and Mowbray will still be here 

[1864roverite]

Mowbray refuses to apportion any blame on himself, that’s what really pisses me off big time🤬

It would not surprise me at all, it's probably Waggott being a keyboard ninja 😂

Can we have a sack TM poll? Oh and a Venus poll & Waggott?

Sack all 3 ASAP please

Anyone remember the dB's!?!?

 

Some days the phone rings off the wall

Some days it's not so much

And some days it does not ring at all

But today could be the day!!

Will this be a daily occurrence now until the end of the season?

[pedrob2014]

I had been willing to give Mowbray more time until this last couple of weeks when some of the things he has been saying have you just been truly bizarre..

 

the worst comment has to be that after the Reading game we have sat down and had a chat about how we can get more people into the box...… You mean it has taken 33 games to realise we don't get enough men in the box

We are waiting for them to make a decision on Mowbray and the future of the club

Why not?

Isn't the expectancy we will lose?

Think Johnson and Barr would be asked to take Saturday's match - can they really do worse than Mowbray's last 6 / 7 games?

Do you still think Mowbray will be sack before the Millwall and the 2 home games against Swansea and Brentford? 

I think if he was getting sack it would be done by now. It hasn't happened yet.

Cheston and Sylvester to hold the fort.

I said this last week that Cheston and Slivester could run the club until a new CEO is appoint by the owners. 

Cheston has been at the club for 7 years now and Slivester has been here for over 8 years now. Both experience footballing people. 

[tomphil]

Clubs need a CEO and we moaned about not having one long enough. Directors box at away games and some home games virtually empty. Or populated by a turd from Preston bringing his mates for a jolly up, embarrassing. Lets not lose sight of the past in our frustration.

Waggot does strike me as the type who isn't afraid to get on the blower to India. Certain things have sped up since he's been here and we've had some decent windows. Cheston & Sylvester have over seen it before, just yes men though i pressume. THat's why they've lasted so long.

Main problem here is when the low end acting CEO is a best pal of the manager and has got his feet firmly under the Venky table.

We need a CEO at this club but it needs to be a good one, an honest one with no agency ties and all that. More than anything though it needs to be one who has the ability to drive a club like ours forwards.
