Friday 12th February Blackburn Rovers Vs Preston North End @ Ewood Park

[Clitheroe]

Preston, especially in the first half, had fight in them. Rovers did not.

They were up for it, dominated the game, earned the win.

They could've easily had more. We got a lucky pen that counted for nothing.

More than anything.. Just depressing.

Performance was very poor. Armstrong had our only 2 shots on target. 

We didnt one clear cut chance second half. 

Preston deserved the win. 

Branthwaite looked really.poor today. Time for Harwood-Bellis to start.

Apart from Armstrong and Douglas were decent. Rest was poor. 

Didnt understand taking Nyambe off to play Gallagher at right back then 10 minutes bring on Harwood-Bellis. Baffling was that. 

 

Branthwaite was very poor. Probably needs a rest.  Nyambe was poor as well 

[SBlue]

Shite.

Surely enough is enough,fire the dire uninspiring Mowbray and let's have some new fresh ideas in for the rest of the season...it's the only logical and sensible progression while there is still a glimmer of hope of making the top six.

Forget 18, he looked like a 12 year old in a 6’4 body.

[Paul Mani]

Not good enough again. We don’t have any coherence as a team which is astounding considering Mowbrays been with us for 4yrs.

Time for a change I think. No realistic chance of the top 6 now unless we do something that no Mowbray team ever has and that’s win consistently.

[neophox]

Everyone on this MB seems to want Mowbray sacked.

The more astute of us have been banging that drum for quite a while!

Surely you're not counting Chaddy ?

[G Somerset Rover]

Such a perfect time to replace Tony - makes so much sense to give a new guy the rest of the season to assess the squad. Too much sense for our owners though.

Chaddy listened to it on the radio so we were brilliant.

[Don Said]

No other words worth posting. The justification has been done previously. Don’t waste your time, akin to the waste of a squad going on down at Ewood.

 

MOWBRAY OUT.

Is it a surprise?

[Exiled in Toronto]

If he doesn’t get sacked this weekend he’s here till he alone decides not to be. Totally incoherent performance.

Looked like he pulled his hamstring or something at the end. Given the amount of injuries we seem to pick up during games it makes Mowbrays comments on the indoor artificial pitch even more baffling. 

Train on the pitch, damage it, makes a good excuse for not playing the one touch football bollocks, we only do on occasions (when it dosent matter)

[Displaced Rover]

I'm putting that performance close to Spurs away in 2012. I guess at least we had a few shots on target tonight.

The striking similarity is that it didn't get the bald nob head sacked and it won't get Mowbray sacked.

[matt83]

If I was nyambe my transfer request would be on the table tonight. 

[West Yorks Rover]

Well if there hasn't been a bust-up in the dressing room after that, there never will be.

Ched Evans taught him a lesson.

He may be of questionable character, but he's an crafty experienced pro.

[Aqualung]

Root canal treatment anyone.? 

Rovers matchday threads are a difficult read but I'm now on board with a change of manager. Treading water with players who are much better than being played ad - hoc. 

No direction and worse, not being played in the right positions. Even a plank like me can see that.
