Dolans pace seems to have vanished. Looked electric early season.

Think playing so much after playing so little has worn him out a bit.

[G Somerset Rover]

Pretty good performance in isolation but that’s now 1 win in 12. Terrific time to make a managerial change being the international break but not a chance of that happening. I’m personally going to enjoy a couple of weeks mental break from Rovers and Mowbray tbh.

yes

We could only really call this a good point if it was building towards something. I suppose if you think we're in serious danger of getting relegated it could be considered an unexpected point away from the danger zone. Otherwise it's just another step in the mind-numbing journey of utter mediocrity Mowbray has us on. 

[davulsukur]

A great result in isolation.

Limps on towards safety.

Fully expected a defeat,so fair play.

[booth]

Happy that Gallagher got the goal, I've been a critic of his but it can't be helping him playing wide.

Totally indifferent to the result...it means sweet FA in the greater scheme of things.

MOWBRAY OUT!

[Ewood Ace]

He'll dine out on that point for the rest of the season. We could lose every game between now and the end of the season but he'd still use this game as evidence that we aren't far off. 

[Exiled in Toronto]

There’s been a lot to complain about recently but that game wasn’t one of them. Good effort, great point.

Build the team around Rothwell? No thanks. If he could play a simple one-two we might well have won that.

[BigBar]

I get people saying this could keep him in a job but I've concluded he is staying until the end of the season regardless. An honourable change seems the way it's going as they seem to like Tony and if he steps down/mutual agreement it keeps his stock higher than a sacking which probably suits both parties with nothing left to play for.

[Tormund]

Pretty sure TM will be milking himself tonight over this result.

[darrenrover]

A thoroughly enjoyable match, good performance and probably deserved to win against the run away league leaders.

Why oh why can we not shape like that every week?!

[SuperBrfc]

Enjoyable game that. Good to see us finish strongly. We've been setup wrong far too often this season. Not been his biggest fan over the years, but fair play to Lenihan today. He made some brilliant interceptions.

Really?

The team worked hard, Tony's brain didn't.

[neophox]

Rotherham win away to Bristol C...

it Will be tight at the bottom..

 

Norwich were not at their best today...good point but still We are going backwards.

[Miker]

Stats show Norwich had 4 clear cut chances to our 0. That says it all.

Good result though in the end. Draw away from home to league leaders. 

I'm predicting our form picks up for the end of the season and TM keeps his job. He's unlikely to go before his contract expires.

[BigBar]

Rothwell is class, not flawless but he is quality.

[joey_big_nose]

Good performance from most ways of looking at it, but actually if you think about decent chances we relied on Kaminski a lot more than Norwich did on Krul.

It's the same adage that we can dominate long phases of the game in terms of possession and half chances, but we will steadily gift 3 or 4 quality chances to the other side per game. And recently on top of that we have really struggled to generate good attacking chances.

it's not a winning formula... We would be better off to play more conservatively and gift fewer opportunities to the opposition. We've got a good set of counter attacking players. We could play that way...

Tony says that's old fashioned.

we`ve got a lot of young players with potential,they just need a manager who can get the best out of them and shape a team with them,mowbray out

PUBLIC SAFETY ANNOUNCEMENT: Lancashire Police have asked Blackburn Rovers supporters to please NOT congregate at Ewood Park to celebrate the solitary point won today but to instead maintain Covid-19 lockdown rules. There have been unconfirmed reports of fireworks, flares and chants of "Are you watching, Burn-er-lee?" near the Dog Inn. 

While it is true that this point feels like winning the premiership after recent results, the Police would like to remind success-starved fans that seven points out of thirty six is actually completely shit and would extrapolate to about 27 points over the entire league season.

-----------------------------------------

Today just shows how much better we would doing with any half-decent manager. Well done, lads. Mowbray OUT. Almost any other manager IN.

Mom lenihan and kaminski for me. Richley deserved point against the league leaders in a thoroughly enjoyable game. 

[1864roverite]

Unexpected and surprise result still want Mowbray out
