Yep, we are 1-0 down.

Ayala gave away a pen and they scored from it.

38% vs 62% in possesion stakes,which is the most important facet,cmon rovers make it 70%

Crooke seems to be under the impression that we are reverting back to 4-2-3-1 instead of the 4-3-3 we played last season.

Mowbray really was watching Southgate's England over the summer.

He probably doesn't know what we are doing..I didn't at times last season

It's mad that some still don't see the massive, neon warning signs at this point

whats up with gallagher,he`s not featured at all yet??

Was told (on here) that he "had a knock" when i asked around the Fylde game. Starting to wonder if it is actually financial...

Yes, one said he was "quietly confident" about this season and that a smaller squad should serve us well.

I want a pint of what he's been drinking.

Waggots told them we have to hit 70% possession every game to ensure a good season ticket uptake.

Winning don't matter !

more likely he`s fallen out with mowbray over playing out wide

Surprised he's not crocked himself in the process.

The pen was a complete mess at the back, not what you'd expect of 2 senior pros. 

Patterns of play same as last season, across the back, trying to get full backs up, but not working today. 

Butterworth is struggling to get involved and when he has it's not come off. Only relative positive is Chapman willing to take on his man and having some joy.

Only relative positive is none of us are actually there having paid and travelled to watch it. 🤣

[simongarnerisgod]

chapman seems to have found new confidence from his loan at shrewsbury,could however be curtailed when he inevitably gets dropped when the season starts,can`t see mowbray suddenly deciding to pick after dissing him for 2 seasons

[lraC]

2-0

[tomphil]

Pah!!!... we can't even top possession stats and lose 0-1 anymore now.

Dire stuff, when's Tony back ?

[Roverthechimp]

Where is Dolan? Injured??

[callumrovers]

Ayala having a nightmare against the mighty Bradford, Tony Mowbray master stroke 🤣

It has been rumoured hasn't it that Mowbray and Venus have differing ideas on how the game should be played.

Wonder if we'll see any discernible difference today.

No, Venus is the one that wants possession based football

No worries - results don't matter in pre-season. We'll be fine once we have our first choice back four playing - oh 🤣

Funnily enough i was reading similar on twitter just now 😂

That coffee they serve in Blackburn has to be the weakest smelling stuff in England !

[WacoRover]

Ayala have a hangnail yet? The dude can sure play with pain, can’t he!?
