This appears to be a misquote. It makes no sense that "the lower the amount overspend the larger the points deduction ".

January transfer window 2020
alcd replied to GunnerRover7's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Hopelessly injury-prone and plays well about 1 in 5, otherwise meh. Might all change of course if he goes to Stoke. -
He wont leave unless his contract to 2022 is paid up as he knows he'll never get another well-paid job. Hartlepool or York City for him next.
-
The best position for Brereton is sitting on his sofa.
-
That was their reserve team, Rovers were nearly full strength.

January transfer window 2020
alcd replied to GunnerRover7's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Mowbray doesnt like wingers even though its the only way to get any goals from our "G" force. Instead he plays intricate tippy tappy players like Rothwell who runs like a headless chicken and loses the ball to set up an opposition counterattack. -

John Connelly -
Running into blind alleys and giving away possession is the sum total of Rothwell's game. Very occasionally it comes off but that doesnt make up for the 100 occasions that it gives away possession and sets up a counterattack. Rothwell has had more than enough oportunities but it's baked into his game that he can't change.He should be released at the end of season.

Howe won't come north again after his family got homesick at the DINGLES.
-
Rothwell loses the ball for the umpteenth time and gets injured.
-
Rothwell is a total liability. Loses possession like a baby.

Huddersfield Town 29.12.19

Buckley has no strength or determination. He needs to go on loan to the lower leagues and grow a pair. Talk of a move to the Premier is laughable -

Just as well there are 36 points on the board because this clueless shower will struggle to get the 15 points or whatever to stay up. -
Dack might regret not signing the contract that's been on the table for 6 months. Bad news for the club's finances too because if fit he'll just leave on a free in 18 months time.

Judging from Sky's survey of Championship club's supporters about the season so far, only fans of Barnsley and Luton are less satisfied with their team's start and prospects for the remainder of the season. It looks like Rovers or Wigan for the third relegation spot - and I know who my money would be on with Mowbray still at the helm.
-
"Rovers 2020" after relegation will be without Nyambe (out of contract), Lenihan and Williams (both sold), Cunningham (too good for L1), Travis, Dack and Holtby (all sold), Bell, Smallwood, Downing, Graham and Samuel (all out of contract),. But never mind, Mowbray's faves will still be around - Evans, Bennett, Brereton, Armstrong along with Johnson and Chapman clinging to their contracts.
-
Its now beyond dispute that Mowbray's player recruitment has been utterly shite. £12M wasted on Brereton and Gallagher neither of whom looking even remotely like replacing Graham (35 next birthday). Mowbray can't recognise when a player's legs and ambition have gone - Whitttingham and Johnson and in nearly 3 years has brought in only one decent defender(Cunningham).
-
Will defeat to North End see the end of Mowbray?
alcd replied to Wegerleswiggle's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Just so predictably correct... -
Always the same with Mowbrays teams.Concede one, concede three - or more. At most clubs he'd have been fired in March but with sidekick Waggott and clueless Venkys he's still as safe as houses.
-
Mowbray is going backwards at a rate of knots. That midfield pairing was barely adequate for League 1. It just confirms that Johnson is a waste of (a rather large) space.
-
With any luck Bennett will pick up a booking so at least he won't be in for the next match.

The Relegation Thread (15th edition)
alcd replied to jim mk2's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
That was an absolutely abysmal display at QPR and mirrored the many similar 2nd half capitulations last season, particularly away from home. A team that can't defend (and particularly not a lead) and has no prolific-scoring striker is going to struggle. If Cunningham is out for a long period (and the sideways impact on knee looked bad) then God help us with Bell as the back up. The build-up play is turgid and lacks width as both "wingers" always go inside and Rothwell seems capable only of running sideways. A couple more abject shows like this and it will be time to sack Mowbray before the clocks go back. -
Fergie's solo goal v Northampton Town in December 1965 is the best I've seen at Elwood apart from Tony Field v Watford in November 1973.

Scott Sellar was 9 stone dripping wet but one of the best midfielders in a league more physical than this one.
