You did. There has to be some kind of penitence for that kind of behaviour. You may have to wear a Burnley shirt the next time we're at home. 😉

I was very impressed with Jack Clarke...thats a type of player we are really missing... thought Markanday could be that player in this team...

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

If you’ve had a shit Christmas you can always rely on Rovers making it shittier.

I hope Dack's and Buckley's recent showings in the first team aren't just for next month's shop window. The pair of them have shown recently that they can fit into JDT's style, and perhaps they have just needed time to adapt. Buckley has an arrogant confidence about him which I like. He's correct when he suggests there aren't many better than him in this league when he's on his game. I hope he gets a start today, along with Dack.

That didn't age well. 😆

We deserved nothing from that. We can't even grind out a draw. Fair play to Mogga and Sunderland, although I still don't think he's going to last too long there. It'd be characteristic of a Mowbray side to flatten out after too much passion in one game.

We can fault JDT for tactics, selections, and so on, but we've done that to the last umpteen managers that have been here. My suspicion with JDT is that he is not a motivator. For all this talk about local derbies, intensity, etc., we are simply not up to it when we come up against a positively vocal crowd as we did today. See Norwich victory versus today, Burnley, a big following for PNE, etc.

Only positive from today is that we can't be shifted from third spot. Millwall did us a favour, and hopefully Luton can do the same tonight.

[Gav]

JRC was a positive from today, the lad had a good game.

[Sweaty Gussets]

Who has JDT thrown under the bus in the post-match?

[DE.]

As an aside, imagine how utterly abysmal your team would have to be to occupy a relegation spot in this league.

Mowbray signed Markanday! I cant see your point here at all🤷‍♂️

My point being Markanday has been frozen out in the same way Nyambe was by Mowbray in his second year..

And the Premier League-quality Nyambe not good enough to get into it...

[RevidgeBlue]

That was woeful.

Terrible substitutions as well. All that was needed was Markanday for Gallagher but instead he brought on the useless Hirst and brought off Dack  (who had produced the only genuine moment of quality in the entire 90 mins) and thereby cost any limited momentum we had started to build up.

To lose the threat going forward we'd have to have had one to begin with.

We offered very little going foward all game, however Dack and Gallagher clearly offered way more than Travis and Hirst did. The changes just invited pressure on even more

[simongarnerisgod]

just got back from a family meal out(could`nt face another rovers away day)typical of rovers,we are as weak as a newborn kitten,jdt seriously needs a good transfer window especially in midfield,there needs to be 3 or 4 f*****d off as well

[LDRover]

Can't really look beyond the Rovers substitutions as being the decision that defined the result. I am still scratching my head at the withdrawal of Dack and the introduction of Hirst, it just makes no sense.

Why do Rovers fans peddle this false narrative?He plays when he’s fit. Starting for Wigan today.

Wish we still had him instead of the perennially injured Brittain.

Shearer in his prime would struggle to hit double figures playing in this side. We create absolutely nothing. This so called brand of football, philosophy, style, whatever you want to call it is crap. It’s boring. It’s completely and utterly stupid.

Again, our goal today was not a result of Tomassons playing style, which results in far more goals against than for.

Exactly what I've been saying.  I wouldn't judge any player under Tomasson. He could make Messi look shit.

You honestly think Venkys will pot him now, no chance. 

Certainly on thin ice with the fans. Wouldn’t be surprised to start hearing boos at Ewood. Already happened against PNE

you would need 50 million quid to make this side effective playing the current way,can`t understand why jdt is ignorant of the fact

Subbing off Dack was a disgrace. 

Outwitted by Mowbray. 
 

 

Dack was shaking his head as he was subbed. Not a happy man and you can't blamed him for a naïve manager. 

A fair result but JDTs substitution decisions cost us a point.

Don’t recall him actually having a kick of the ball. He clattered one of theirs for a yellow though…

Followed it up with another clumsy challenge.

Would have been fitting if he’d got a red card without actually touching the ball.
