Don't blame me if... jesus wept.!! There are no fans who are to blame. Wasn't I reading you cut a poster down earlier for 2 sentences in 2/300 words that you could wait to "quaff" at? For saying the exact thing, the NAPM are not to blame, no fan is to blame, no fans should feel "vindicated" for "giving Coyle a chance when they had no choice".

It's called discussion Stuart, if you don't want it, dont make posts with thinly veiled slants at other fans, or bring back 3 year old bowyer arguments that make no sense.

Spot on, you can tell he will be a "necessary cut". Disaster.

1. What should he be doing? Sat on bench? Kicking lumps out of the touch line? 2. 46 games. If we'd had him from the start it would be different. 3. We gave goals away through mistakes, those individual errors that cost us points. Setting up to be organised is not "trying to win by one goal", in my humble opinion. To sweep a tactical approach into one sentence like such offers zip. 4. "Give him a chance brigade"... again, I'm never shocked by the want to group fans together to hit with a short stick! I know you agree that there isn't a single Rovers fan who said he was a good choice, but you cannot be blissfully unaware of how difficult it is to protest an appointment without giving them at least some time to prove themselves. We agree hugely on the mistakes that Venkys are responsible for but for Tony Mowbray, (for me) he has to stay! I personally see another Lambert scenario.

Despite the (in my opinion) unfair stick he's got from a few, he's got to stay imo. He won't be replaced, I think he did well despite the relegation. With TM, lenihan, nyambe, a couple of the old guard, I think we will fair much better than this season over 46 games.

Apologies, I get your drift I just think they should feel more pressure tomorrow than any other game - they are on the cusp of putting us in the third tier I know what you mean, but they are the ones in the shirts. It's obviously pretty short sighted to ignore the big picture, but many of them deserve some stick.

Do what you want, I've never once said that booing shouldn't be "allowed" but I may have been critical of those who do it during a game. I won't be booing our team, but I might be shouting a few profanities if we turn up not giving a hoot!

No pressure?! Why do I feel like tomorrow is going to be the worst day at Ewood since Wigan 5 years ago, and then Peterborough 3 years ago? The players should feel some bloody pressure, because (nearly every single one) has completely let this club down, and tomorrow is their final chance to rescue some pride. If they don't feel pressure tomorrow, they may as well give competitive sport up. If I see apathy on that pitch tomorrow, I will not be returning in August. Not as a boycott, but as someone who has well and truly fell out of love with the sport.

Most forlorn he's ever sounded if it makes any sense! Very much concerned with criticism, seems resigned to receiving it!

Not often we agree Mr Slayer but I think you are correct on that. RV - imo you've made your mind up far too early without reasonable cause!

Why give a complete novice one of the most difficult jobs in football? Has it slipped your mind that the entire mess we find ourselves in started with sacking off experience for a novice? What a surprise!

Yes, plus my opinion of that is based on more than just watching us for the games he's had us. I've seen umpteen managers at Ewood in 25 years of supporting, all with varying levels of organisation. Coyle, Kean, Ince, Berg all the worst. The players knew their positions better even after only a few weeks under TM. I think we've been harder to break down since his appointment, that's what organised means imo. The best manager for this was Gav's hero, Big Sam!

The playing staff just ain't good enough. Don't get me wrong, I think a decent manager, Warnock, Mowbray, Lambert etc would've kept us up. Whilst the big finger will ever point to Venkys for their ceaseless negligence, whichever moron agreed to sign Coyle effectively put us in league 1. Another manager who will likely have his last job in this country working for us.

Has a decent record. He can organise a team, he's improved our shoddy lot but came to late. He talks sense, he is passionate and the main thing is you can't fairly judge anyone after the timeframe. Thats without taking the scenario into account, which was god awful and is looking like a step too far. It would be absolutely ridiculous to point fingers or campaign against TM at this point. It's like castigating a paramedic and blaming him for a car accident, when he turned up after to give medical attention.

Actions always speak louder than words, but when poor actions are backed up with excuses and lies - a manager deserves stick. It's obvious from Tony's demeanour, words and actions that he's putting as much as possible into it. Thats all Blackburn Rovers fans ever wanted, someone with the right credentials and mindset!

He also has a very good record previous, especially with WBA. Couldn't label him a poor manager, personally.

I didn't like the name when I heard it initially, but everything he's said has resonated, I can't think of a single interview I haven't agreed with him. I can criticise some tactical choices from the outside looking in, but the positives compared to the previous manager are stark. Wish we'd had him all season, I concur we'd be safe.

http://mobile.rovers.co.uk//news/article/2016-17/ryan-nyambe-blackburn-rovers-tony-mowbray-3650836.aspx Certainly has looked to get better, and if you take TMs word, it's a good sign. He certainly has the athletic capability!

The typical BRFCS element is that this is even worthy of discussion. If Zlatans assault and Tony Mowbrays tie are of similar interest to discussion for you Stuart, remind me never to spend an afternoon in your presence. Sounds tedious.

The sheer fact this is even being discussed sums up what level some will stoop to to reaffirm their own prejudice. Mowbray out (because he doesn't drink enough bitter for my liking)

I thought it was a draw too, but we didn't win a "must win" game so I can only come to the conclusion we lost!

Lost a "must win" game and still hasn't released Jason Lowe on a free transfer so "Mowbray out" protest Tuesday right?

It's not the scenario that we would all want is it? The point I am making is that any new player or member of staff deserves a chance. Do I rate Senior? Do I rate Cheston? Etc? Regardless of those answers, I don't have much of say but my opinion should be developed with experience, not just a gut "he's obviously a pawn".. Senior needed to get rid of Coyle and he has done, whilst it probably should've been earlier - I appreciate that influence. I didn't appreciate his lies about value, but I can understand why he said it. If Mowbray becomes a successful head coach by keeping us up and improving us next year, it will be a success. We are all annoyed about the previous 6 years, but that's not a reason (imo) to defecate on any changes, especially when this one has been swift and necessary! Could I have been less underwhelmed? Yes, but I could've also been a lot angrier if this had gone on for weeks to be another "give it to the reserves" manager decision. The scenario is perilous.

Well said. I am personally astonished that they've acted so quickly in bringing actual experience in. I can certainly get behind the new man but that doesn't mean that I support the owners anymore than before.

Why give him a chance? How's about in case he can turn this around!! We needed a change, what did you expect? The real problem is always the ownership but this is hiring an actual manager without messing around for months when we needed a quick decision.
