Looked like a penno that

Nope. Blasted at him point blank. Just be happy with your 3 points, don't get greedy 😉

The subs have been good today and all made sense. The starting lineup however was bad. Again. These dreadful first half performances have to stop.

The real issue is that they don’t need to stop and they haven’t needed to stop for 15 games now.

Mowbray…..he says he’s a man of integrity ….

……he says he’ll never be a burden…

he says ….nothing of any value he always has and always will talk shit ….

[Doogs]

Get shut of Mowbray. He's taking us backwards..The guy is clueless. Why has he persisted with this joke of a line up. False number 9 an embarrasment...Not worked for months. Just go Tony...NOW

8th now with same points as 10th....well done Mogadon 

Swansea with a game in hand on us aswell 

[Fraserkirky]

Hedges has done more in 15mins than Dolan has done in months. Does Mowbray even take training?

Bell will be competing in the playoffs this season. Am sure he's thankful every day that he isn't taking instructions from Mowbray anymore.

Hence my point. Nowhere near as bad as Pickering.

How? Ball blasted at him from 2 yards away.

 

Doesn't make any difference. Arm outstretched well away from his body, stonewall penalty.

[yankfan]

Buckley on has made a huge difference. Assuming Diaz is sold he’ll be our best player next year. 
 

The team sheet the last two weeks to start have been atrocious. Edun last Johnson today stand out as miserable decisions. Only one man to blame. Last week should have been Dack instead of Edun this week Buckley from the start. 
 

 

[OldEwoodBlue]

Top save that

[WacoRover]

Lots of effort. More arte, less Labore, plz…

[OsloRover]

I don’t think I’ve said this before but Mowbray has to go.

Nice enough bloke I’m sure but the inability to get a starting eleven firing and motivated over so many games is just not acceptable and cannot be allowed to continue.

Mowbray out.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Absolutely pathetic...complete and utter collapse.

Watch players' arms when they move on the pitch. When they have the ball, when they don't. Arms constantly go up, it's part of balancing the body. Zero intent, zero penalty.

Dolan has the incredible ability to take too many touches when he needs to play quick and play quick when he needs to take a player on.

Under normal owners he'd have been fired last season.

I reckon at most clubs he’d have been sacked after the 4th defeat in 11 games in division 3

[booth]

Amazing save from Hedges header but BBD's follow up was more Brereton than Diaz. He gets that on target and it's a goal.

Called this one... Mowbray is going nowhere. Gutted for the fans down at Ewood. Worried for the fans everywhere, as the chances are we will be stuck with this pillock.

[matt83]

Was there at least a hearty booing at full time. Or just the usual shrug of the shoulders.

First time Hedges has done anything on the pitch for us.

[OldEwoodBlue]

Sounded like clapping to me.

Disgraceful.

[booth]

Mowbray shot down the tunnel like his arse was on fire then, I'm glad he got a good booing but he'll probably think it was for the players not him.

[Armchair supporter supremo]

Pretty limp 2 second boo from the home crowd then drowned out my the music. He's 100% in kean territory now, not just a shiite manager but also toxic to the club. 

[DE.]

Hopefully just 3 more games until this idiot leaves the club, to be replaced by the next idiot off the scrapheap.

As much as I want Mowbray to be gone, never forget who has had us in the Championship for 8 seasons (L1 season excepted) and never once been able to even sneak a 6th placed finish.

That's not what the rule is. If the arm is in an "unnatural position" as defined by being outstretched from the silhouette of the body, it's classed as intentional handball no matter where the ball is struck from. It's why defenders defend crosses with their arms behind their backs. Awful decision from the ref.
