Elliot completely wasted in the middle. Someone with his pace and talent should be wide.

Gallagher on right is letting any plan we have down.

Elliot should be where Gallagher is, Gallagher should be up front with Armstrong.

Typo? First thing he does he gets wrong. Typical.

Hughton, proper manager.

I'm more excited at who he's going to blame this week. He had a cup of tea with Nyambe who is almost a friend, so it could be anyone!

And they aren't all out, Branthwaite and Harwood Bellis are both centre backs and signed by Mowbray. He can't complain if anything goes wrong he signed them instead of signing more experienced defenders. Same as, he signed away a load of money for Brereton when we needed defenders, and did the same with Gallagher when we needed defenders.

Gallagher wide again, does Mowbray ever learn? He did exactly this at Celtic and Coventry.

Elliot in the fucking middle again.

Team looks relaxed walking across the pitch divided into the young ones, the slightly less younger ones and Rothwell.

Been saying that for ages. Absolutely spot on.

Lenihan or Mowbray?

The more I look at it, the more it looks like a reserve team.

Who is the leader on that pitch?

More drama, bloody hell. Still doesn't know his best 11. Let's see you muck this one up Tony. Lose this and I think even the most blindly loyal functioning alcoholics on Facebook will turn.

He didn't do a terrible job at Chelsea for a young manager. Massive job and high expectations but he did take them to the FA cup final and finish fourth in his first season. An experienced player who has worked with lots of different coaches you'd imagine some of it would have rubbed off. I can't help thinking a lower league club will benefit massively someday.

He'll have noticed but after botching away £12m on two lesser forwards his pride won't allow him to even think of giving McBride ten minutes.

Cheers, frustratingly he gave Coventry far more respect.

I'd like the club to be ambitious and get a Lampard or a Benitez but I can't help thinking we need a manager who walks through Ewood, sees the pictures of Dalglish, Shearer, Sherwood, Souness, Andy Cole and Jack Walker and gets a chill down their spine that great things have happened here and the desire to experience that themselves. Listening to Mowbray you get the feeling he's doing us a favour. Same with Lambert if I'm honest.

He's got a big steel barrier in front of him. #freetonymowbray.

Football Jesus cocks it up again.

“I understand Blackburn Rovers historically should be fighting in the Premier League, well, there’s a lot of teams who would say that. " I bet he didn't dare say that in his job interview.

Any of the above a MASSIVE upgrade. Like going from a broken Atari 2600 to a brand new PS5.

I remember there wasn't much love for him when it was announced. Plenty of good will and giving him support but with a general feeling of "why him?"

Someone mentioned he was on the scrapheap when he arrived here and they weren't wrong so I doubt he'd give up a good thing, especially with no crowds or chairman on his back.
