I am not excusing any of our last three performances, from a managerial or player standpoint. But where were the positive comments this season, when Rovers took 21 of 30 points (Nov. 2-Dec 26) and 20 of 36 (Jan. 11-June 20)? We had decent chances to score in all three; TM cannot be blamed when Samuel and SG whiffed on great opportunities. Going forward, those are good reasons not to play them. But don’t sack mowbray now. That makes no sense with 5 games, and it wouldn’t be fair to the new gaffer, either.

Agreed, Davey & Atko. Mowbray does not deserve much of the spiteful comments directed his way. But I do agree somewhat on his transfers, player development and some of his tactics. We’re still a better club than a year ago. Injuries hit us hard, and mowbray squared the team away each time. He deserves some consideration for that. Until We have nothing to play for- save relegation- and the club clearly identities a better, more suited candidate, we don’t need manager-go-round again. It may not be popular here, but we could do a lot worse.

You’re right, hired him in February 2017. it sure seems like 4 1/2 years though.

He’s a nice guy & a good man I bet, but not fit for the challenge at hand and the future of the club. I admit I have supported him until the past week. If we finish the last five, and send him packing, I don’t really think it hurts anybody’s feelings. Including TM, he’s had 4 1/2 years.

Rovers are in free fall. I don’t know that anybody outside of Lenihan, Nyambe, arma & Dacky worth saving.

Buckley & Davenport, I approve!

Samuel coming on... really?!

Buckley, Davenport & Chapman ought to be brought on... somebody with youth & energy. So much long in the tooth on the pitch now

It’s hard to believe back in January & February, we had 4 clean-sheets in 8.

This squad, with a healthy Dack, still not very good. We also lose Tosin.

Crap

Until we are mathematically eliminated from playoffs, he won’t play the young guys.

Travis starts!

I have an acquaintance here in Texas who was born in Leeds and a big fan. Last season with 4-5 games to go, I said to him, “well, y’all finally promote this season”, to which he replied, “you haven’t followed them like I do. I will believe it when it happens.” He was right!

Long list of 1st teamers out today, while Travis is looking at fitness. If everybody else is out (Evans, Bell, etc), but we can get Travis, might be all we can reasonably expect.

Thanks, on my return trip I will have to “put in” at the Brown Cow. In Reading, I had a pie & a couple of pints at Sweeney & Todd’s.

I was there on a Monday for my tour; Jenny said that’s the only day Blues Bar is closed. I left the day before we lost to Luton; so, the only game I got to see while there was @Reading, a 2-1 win. Arma & Dacky scored!

What pub do y’all go to in Blackburn on game days? When I visited in September, I didn’t see a pub near Ewood.

lol glad we can keep a sense of humor in the face of adversity.

JHRover, I respect the point you make about money, but did you really mean to cite Coyle, or someone more recent? Enough said... I have steadfastly said to give Mowbray until the end of this season before a decision is made. After all, we are in a higher place than last year, with our best player on the sideline. He’s got 6 games to show us he’s up to it. For all we know, he wins two or three of these, and gets a couple of ties. Would that be enough for me to hope Mowbray returns? Ask me when it happens. I’ve still got a sour taste in my mouth from identical 0-2 scores to the 17th & 24th teams in the league.

I don’t think this is possible for rothwell, based on our lack of options. If he’s fit, he plays. I will be glad to eat those words, if you can persuade me otherwise.

I’ve never spent $1 on betting. Moreover, I don’t think I could bring myself to bet against my club. But if anyone can, and make money, more power to them. It just seems to me rooting against my club so often would destroy any love or allegiance I have for the Blue & White.

Anything can happen, and Frankly, I would not be surprised by any result. Mowbray needs a win badly to counter criticisms of our last two. The players need to play smart, eliminate silly mistakes, and finish better. 2-1.

I hope they can bounce back. I don’t want this to happen to any club. First bury, almost Bolton. I do not want to see the EFL dwindle down to a few dozen clubs.

That’s really disappointing. I can only hope something is done before the club is destroyed. If the fans are all turned off (I know many of them have already had their fill of disgust and won’t buy tix), those running the club in the ground will regret it, alas, probably too late. We the fans are the ones who are left to suffer- ala, Bury. My experience getting tickets to the Reading/Rovers match was a turnoff- I finally had to go through Reading’s ticket office. They were pleased to accommodate me, I was never able to get them through Rovers. If I hadn’t been treated so well by Rovers staff when I had my tour at Ewood, I might’ve been convinced nobody at the club cares. As it is, it seems the hourly wage people, fans, and common folk like me and you here are the only ones who still care.
