Again I'm finding myself questioning Buckley's bottle. He should be buzzing all over this pitch but he's hiding and taking a back seat. 

Why single out one player when the whole team looks like it can't be bothered?

[LDRover]

Well the way I see it is there's no way we can be that bad in the 2nd half.

[den]

Well that was drab. We couldn’t have posed less of a threat if we’d tried. Nothing up front. Has to get someone nearer to Armstrong. 

[J*B]

How long until Big Ben is back?

Yet we were gonna stick loads past them many on here were saying? ‘We always thrash the little teams’.

I feared Mowbray’s death run wasn’t quite over with just the one draw and two defeats.

The MoggaDeth Spiral is always at least 4 games long.

Poor half. 

We say it every week but he really, really needs to bin off this Gallagher outwide rubbish. He's woeful.

 

Unfortunately we're a man short in that position.

Dolan isn't ready and he doesn't fancy Chapman. 

How bloody much do we miss Brereton?!?!

[darrenrover]

Absolute fecking garbage.

Somebody put a rocket up everybody's arse, it's not bloody Christmas until 25 December.

We're Blackburn Rovers FFS, not bloody Tranmere Rovers (no offence intended to our friends from The Wirral)

I can't tolerate this nonchalant, couldn't care less attitude much longer:

WE ARE THE ROVERS, Blackburn Rovers, play like the badge means something, hopefully that's not too much to ask!

Even as a striker he's not great, and he expects him to do a job as a wide man.

I'm sure we could have purchased a decent wide player for £5m.

Its a baffling signing spending so much on him and using him as a wide player. He has no attributes to play out wide and he's crossing the ball for 2 players who are about 4foot tall.

His defending is suspect at times also so he offers little in tracking back either.

[Angry_Pirate]

We have been absolutely duped by the hype around Douglas. Absolutely had our pants down.

Has he lost them? Very poor

Get Roy Keane in lol 

 

He or someone of his ilk has been needed for 8 years

Who'd have thought we'd actually miss Brereton out wide!

[The Mighty Chaffinch]

Johnson has been awful but there’s no one else to play his role, so I’d probably replace Buckley with Holtby and hope Johnson miraculously finds some form in the second half. Gallagher needs to be moved centrally with Armstrong playing on their lad who’s been booked. Elliott needs to be given the ball more (Rotherham have done their homework) and Rothwell just needs to run at them. Bell (reluctantly) for Douglas as well.

Looks very poor

Because I want him to do well. I see a player in there that can make a difference but he continually disappoints. Like the Forest game when he last had a start and fluffed his lines.

 Should be back next year after a 4-year restoration.

That's the most fun I've had tonight 

[Exiled in Toronto]

Douglas has to be the worst loan signing in a very long time, and I’m not seeing all these players who would be apparently powering us into the top 6 with another manager.

Get some subs on at HT

[WacoRover]

So, this is what 71% possession looks like. Laughable. 

[G Somerset Rover]

Given the huge array of players Mowbray has brought in it’s quite astounding that we never have a striker to come off the bench. 

[blue_n_white99]

Benteke just scored for Palace, SKY online had this to say " That's three goals in three games for Big Ben. Ding dong." The fact that this amused me shows how little interest our game is generating.

The lad hasn't got it at this level. Looks like a boy in a men's game

Lenihan again, dreadful for me. Don’t know what’s wrong with him this year.

He obviously was a good player his pedigree at this level isn't questionable I'm shocked at how poor he looks now though.

Black mark against the manager and recruitment team if homework hadnt been done properly if his form doesn't improve dramatically

[Doug]

Poor half, need more in midfield. Buckley off Holtby on and possibly gally off, trybul on and move elliot closer to arma. Need to do something 

[philipl]

This is a tough one.

They are big quick physical and not afraid to put a foot in.

Johnson not enjoying being on the receiving end of the physical stuff.
