Blackburn v Doncaster, FA Cup, Sat 9th Jan

[G Somerset Rover]

Whilst that’s hideous from the hapless Pears what the heck were Lenihan and Johnson playing at?! Back off back off back off. I saw what was coming a flipping mile off - so how didn’t they?!

Abysmal keeping.

Rovers look like they have never seen a coach. Just a bunch of individuals.

Whats with the pitch? TM has said that we are moving towards a more attacking style of play and we have some decent technical players. Yet this pitch if what we are offering our players? WTF.

To each their own, but I honestly think you're blind to it. Makes things happen nearly every time he is on the pitch.

What has he made happen this game?

Nothing wrong with the back 4 there, they kept their shape.

The fact we've got 3 sitting CMs and their player was running free at the back 4 (with said 3 CMs all in picture jogging back) says everything about Mowbray as a tactical genius and man manager. 

Expand  

Kept their shape maybe but backtracked all the bloody way

I know I always give him a hard time but I just cannot see why anyone rates Buckley. Too small, too lightweight, not commanding enough, not enough influence. 

Expand  

Not sure anyone does rate him now.  

[matt83]

Same old crap under Mowbray. Not surprised. Dare I say not hugely bothered under this regime

[rovers11]

Same old, same old. Lots of possession but doing nothing with it. The defensive shape is terrible as always. Their player allowed to run half the pitch and get a shot without a challenge in sight. Pears is not very good but I think we knew that already. 

[Doogs]

Ih my it's a good job the fans arnt allowed in. How many would turn up each week to watch this week after week?..Asking for a friend.

[Bigdoggsteel]

Different game, same shite 

[Sparks Rover]

We can still win.  I'm.getting a bet on.

Yeah and it's flipping massive so not sure why on earth we've been on Ewood.  The pitch has been looking awful for a few weeks now.

[AllRoverAsia]

Anyway I went to put the kettle on and missed their goal.

There is a God.

I'm fairly certain that we do.

[superniko]

Dolan and Trybull both been okay. Not much to say about the rest.

Bell isn’t good enough, I don’t think he’s even much of a L1 defender in all honesty.  Seeing Henley on the bench for Chorley makes you think how far a player could drop. Youth team LB must offer more than what we’ve seen from Bell or Douglas. 

Shocking from Pears. Johnson and Lenhian both stood off too much. 

Over a week into the transfer window and we still need a LB and 2 x CB. It will be the same cobbled defence for the next league game and probably the one after that. 

[Rogerb]

One piece of play in that first half sums Mowbray up we have the ball level with Doncaster 18 yard line. Ball ends up with our keeper we kept possession mind. Oh and pears is far worse than Steele.

[Angry_Pirate]

Playing behind closed doors has literally gifted Mowbray an additional year+ in charge.

He would have been booed off probably 10 times if we were there. 

Time to walk, and take all your mates, shit coaches and Boro bum boys with you.

I've seen more life in a corpse than Bell.

You blame defence - but where was our midfield ?
