I was looking forward to this game all week. More fool me.

Predicatably, Mowbray was out thought once again by his opposite number, in both formation, tactical awareness, and team selection.

Predictably, Mowbray continues to play players out of position. In this case, a centre half so far out of his depth in his normal position, predictably getting ripped to shreds at full back.

Predictably, Mowbray's team - who arguably on paper are better players then the opposition - gets rolled over by opponents showing more will and determination.

Predicatably, Mowbray will remain here for the foreseeable.

Predictably, we are going absolutely no where under this fella.

He has to go. Now.

Ahh a few were giving it big licks after Cardiff, I sprinkled some realism on it and sadly proved to be correct. It’s just so tedious going over and over the same story

Shout out to that fan who at half time went and absolute unloaded on the coaches and subs. Showed more passion in those 2 minutes than TM and Rovers did in 45. Does anyone know what he said? I've never seen  professional cosches and footballers look so sheepish... they quickly stopped playing around and started doing a proper warm up.

Well that was a nasty drive back home along the motorway network but at least it gave me time to contemplate what I have witnessed in the last 2 away games, matches were we should have taken some points but more importantly in relation to today lessons should have been learned! Sadly, all we saw was repeated floundering by a team sent out by the manager, who seemed bereft of a plan, especially in the first half.

Mowbray is making a mockery of Rovers supporters. He sent out the team today knowing full well Gally was not fit. He should never have been risked and now he went off half way through the game it is likely that he will be out for some period of time.

He failed to manage that team properly. Magliore was caught out numerous times v Huddersfield and yet Mowbray saw fit to play him from the off, the result being both goals conceded came down his flank, cruelly exposed and cruelly found missing in action.

The fact that we played much better with a plan in the second half, we were too far gone having conceded two really awful and soft goals.

I haven’t heard Mowbray interview I don’t want to listen to his pathetic monotone excuses, it lies at his feet as he is the manager, he sent that young team out therefore it is down to him and him alone, it is time he accepted his failings instead of treating us like morons.

Our crowd is generally a great away crown but is littered with cretins who with their drunken/drugged behaviour spoil it for the majority. Be in no doubt when they get behind the team they are loud and proud and made that atmosphere.

Kaminski - having a dodgy time - 6

Pickering - 7 solid performance really settling into the team

Ayala/Wharton - 7 x as a pairing looked solid and went toe to toe with Madine. 
 

Magliore - 4 - not good enough found wanting and general play was awful.

Buckley - 6 another excellent delivery for BBD but due to the formation of Mowbray overrun at times.

Travis - 6 like Buckley fought like hell but was overrun at times.

Dolan - 6 busy but not as productive as in recent games, against 3 big lads at times.

Gally - 4 unfit and should never have been in that pitch.

Rothwell - 7 busy but carrying an injury shouldn’t have been risked but did his best. When on form he is a class act, Rovers couldn’t make the most of some great runs.

BBD -8 continues in the scoring run, best forward player by far, runs and runs and just needs a bit more support.

Edun 8 great performance and looks a battler, not afraid to put his foot in, fights for every ball and silky passing at times. Looks a decent player.

Now for the international break, a rest up and recovery. I hope Mowbray learns his lessons if he gets out to India because he better have his excuses in place the man remains a mystery to me. 
 

I am still in the needs a change camp and maybe this is the right time to make it, who knows?

You don't half like blowing your own trumpet don't you?

Cardiff week you posted more than once about you being right about Gallagher because he had a good game and it proved the posters who criticized him wrong.

Yet no mention of Brererton by you who got a hat trick.Yet you were posting saying that you "haven't been taken in like other fans because he scored a goal for Chile" and taken in by all the Chilean fanfare

We’re just mid table makeweights under Tonebola. Personally I wasn’t remotely exited in 6th after beating Cardiff nor will I be overly bothered when we’re in 18th. That said even in 8th I still maintain relegation is far more likely than the playoffs even though don’t think either are happening. 

[Uddersfelt Blue]

Really surprised to see Magloire in the starting line up and clearly Blackpool had done their homework on our weaknesses on that side of the pitch. 
We missed Nyambe and Lenihan badly but what we missed in the first half more than anything is any energy and organisation.

What a turnround in the second half, particularly when Gallagher went off and Edun came on. The midfield began to control the game with Rothwell and Travis pushing forward. Really impressed with Edun but no doubt he will be back on the bench next game.

Brereton in the right spot again, as a good striker should be, just a pity we don’t have another to join him.

I'm more interested to know if he’s available to manage.

Edun looked like the kind of player we need. Box to box, pressing the opposition, passing it forward, getting stuck in in defence.

Shame that by the time he’s a regular his confidence will be shot due to Mowbray continually leaving him out.

My lad summed it up after 20 minutes. He turned to me and said, “Their manager and his staff have done their homework on us and know more about our team and tactics than our own manager does”.

 

[riverholmes]

Worth thinking that Lenihan and Nyambe, who we missed today, have not signed new deals at the club. As far as I know, Nyambe can leave on a free next summer and Lenihan might be the same, or, perhaps, the following year. Perhaps, we saw a glimpse of the size of the rebuild job in that first half?

We were dog awful.

Their fans were top drawer today. Fair dos.

Our fans were embarrassed by what was served up.

Weather was crap too.

I’m still critical of brereton, he is improving in the goals department, but other aspects of his game are lacking. Put it this way, can you see him putting it in the net from outside the box?? Gallagher can and has btw. Somewhere between the two and you might have a good striker. I stick up for gallagher because he gets dogs abuse whereas brereton gets a free pass after the whole Chile stuff, it’s weird. 
 

but nice trolling anyway

Not the right place, I know, but just watching Brighton v Arsenal. What a complete prat Duffy remains. How on earth he is a regular Premiership centre back is beyond me

A premier league regular who could have went joint top of the league today with a win. He really doesn't care what you think 😂 His dad died last year and he had a torrid time at Celtic, so it's a testament to his character where he has gotten to imo 

For your own mental health, I would say move on and let the grudge go

I think Brereton has far more to his game now than Armstrong did last year. For some the only barometer for Armstrong was the goals he scored. Brereton travels with the ball better and generally links up with his team mates more effectively.

He was sat behind me. He was questioning why the coaches had their hands in their pockets watching them train rather than coaching.

My mental health is fine thanks. I don't need to move on anywhere. All I was saying is I don't get why he manages to find his way into a Premiership team. No grudges here just honesty

Good post. 
 

not a mystery to me. He’s a crap manager well out of his depth in the modern game. Sussed him about 4 years ago. 

[JPTSwindon]

Same old, same old.

Tinkler TM gets the tactics / motivation all wrong. Why oh why does he keep playing people out of position? Magloire at RB?! 

Hopeless. 6 points thrown away this week.

Not like you to stick up for an Irishman big doggy dog. 😉

If anyone thought we’d get a result today with Nyambe and Lenihan missing then you’re the definition of an optimist. It was never going to happen.

The second half was better and if we'd started with that intensity it could have been different. There was no commitment in first half with most of our players sleep walking.

Two deliberate own goals and a sending off in one game - it's not unreasonable to bear a grudge. The guy has no morals.
