Mowbray’s substitutions killed off our chances of winning that game.  Their equaliser was a gut-punch but the decisions made by our manager stifled any drive or momentum we had and if anything, left us more vulnerable to losing the game.  

Yes and our subs had the opposite effect that Huddersfield’s had

[Darwen Rover 007]

Positives..

1st half (apart from 1st ten mins)

Tosin / Nyambe / Downing / Travis / Holtby / Dack

 

Negative..

2nd half 

Compounded by Mowbray inspired substitutions, I mean what the..

Walton - Serious downgrade on Raya, we need an experienced GK asap 

Johnson, clearly has class but come on

Gallagher - pointless just.. touch of a pregnant elephant 

Pfffttttttttt so frustrating, this team has so much potential 

 

[Sparks Rover]

See the Huddersfield  unused lads warming down on the pitch after the game. Where are our unused subs?? Probably in the bar 

[BankEnd Rover]

Anyone who thinks Mowbray should stay hasn't a clue. We are moving no where with him. 

[Tom]

Our casual nature winds me up, Gallagher trotting into the box, Walton every week in injury time in no rush at all

Agreed. But we have the Venkys. It’s the rock vs hard place that is Blackburn Rovers when managers start to fail.  

[Bbrovers2288]

When was the last time we got a late winner?

Not won from behind at Ewood since New Years Day. 

 

Longer than that I’m afraid! We went 2-0 up in that game. League One days I think it was.

Really disappointing in the end after an encouraging first half. The subs made us worse. Gallagher and Evans on? Taking Holtby and Travis off at the same time? 

We’re just drifting aimlessly. It’s frustrating and boring to be honest.

[davefarnworth]

We still have decent players despite the injuries. It's a poor division. We need a positive manager. Mowbray spouting crap on Sky right now. Walk you t__t

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

I think we are united in the opinion that 'Mr Dull' is not utilising this squad to its full ability,nothing seems to change.

[Cherry Blue]

Mowbray's a complete fool. Baffled everyone by taking MOM Holtby off. 

This team needs managing correctly and until we get rid of Mowbray the trap door will get closer and closer.

[Bbrovers2288]

Usual sleepy non passionate interview from mowbray

f off

f off

f offfffffff

 

should be absolutely slamming the pen and the ref. God he is a turgid manager. Getting Into bowyer territory now, there is so many better options out there 

[Crimpshrine]

Their manager adjusted his team and tactics sensibly throughout the game and they became the better team as the match progressed.

Our manager let a very promising position slip away by being out-manoevered by a relative novice.

Mowbray just admitted himself in the SKY interview "they wrestled the game away from us". Very downbeat interview

I think it was Millwall last season? In January. Last one I recall anyway.

[RevidgeBlue]

The keeper is absolutely useless for me. That's two home games where he's cost us the points recently, he also went down in Installments for the Forest equaliser and with Raya in nets that's two saves that are meat and drink for him and two games we win imo. Really hope we don't sign Walton permanently.

Other than that with Dack and Holtby on the pitch I saw signs of hope and promise for the first time under Mowbray, our play was far more fluid and creative than normal. That was ruined by the substitutions which were progressively worse.

Thought Nyambe was outstanding and showed us what we've been missing at RB. Conversely Bennett is an absolute liability wherever he plays and we're always going to struggle if he is selected to start.

Usual interview from Mowbray winging it helped by the shite managers phrasebook.

Sounded like a man pre-occupied with someone stealing his unguarded pint.

[bluebruce]

From the LT:

A first goal in Rovers colours for Lewis Holtby wasn’t enough to inspire his side to a home win

Inspire a win? Hell, it wasn't even enough to keep him on the pitch! Even with an assist and being excellent throughout.

He’s just so negative. That with shoe horning Bennet in every week. So frustrating. 

[Wegerleswiggle]

Positives 

Dack and Holtby's combination play.

Nyambe looking more dangerous in 45 minutes going forward than Bennett all season.

Adarabayio being able to travel with the ball rather than hopelessly hoofing it upfield.

Negatives

Tony Mowbray and his managerial style!!!

Tony Mowbrays substitutions.

Tony Mowbrays dull and couldn't give a flying f##k interview after the game.

The fact that Tony Mowbray will be in charge for our next game.

And Mowbray will play him every week. Such is his love affair with him. Making him captain was a bad idea. 

[Spankus Munky]

Time for Leutwiler to be given the gloves until January when we can get a proper keeper in. Walton has had his chance and shown absolutely nothing to persevere with especially as he isn't our player. Gallagher is a plodder and should be nowhere near the 18 on a matchday. All that money spent in the summer and the only 2 who have done anything for us are a couple of freebies ?

[JacknOry]

Holtby and Travis off was just bemusing for me. Especially at the same time. Travis was on a booking yes so could understand if he was hooked. Holtby was everywhere, was so inteligent and it was a joy to see him spraying his passes around. 

Do not understand why he has this slowly, slowly approach when introducing some players. First few games sub, finally gets a start and is best player ont he pitch and gets hooked.

So frustrating and annoying. 

Great first half

Poor second half

The reasons why we didn't get all 3 points is a piss poor referring decision and a bloddy awful mistake by our keeper. 

Not. Good. Enough 

The reason we didn’t get all three points isn’t mistake but it does begin with ‘M’.

[stinny1]

TM is so negative  yet again  Bennett  gives a silly penalty  away .Dack went missing  in secound half ,  Travis and Holtby  where taken off why,  Rothwell should have come on for Downing . Gallagher  might has well have been in my front  room watching rovers on sky   . Keeper not good enough  no one prepared  to get stuck in for second  goal he waltz  round three and hits it through the keeper .  ITS CRAP TM OUT

[Cherry Blue]

We can complain about the refs every game, and in all probability there are many that went to the same school, but at the end of the day its bad management that's taking us back to league one.

MOWBRAY OUT!
